Washington. Feb. 21.-Dis-
closures concerning men in high
places have side-tracked impor-
tant legislative measures. The
charges of an invisible govern
ment," the Senate resolution de-
handing the resignation of a
Cabinet officer. the unfounded
rumor concerning the late Presi-
dent Harding, limitations of
plots to prevent the development
of Alaska, all contributed to the
unsavory potpourri of political
scandal. These items have over
Swallowed the marked partisan
ship which, has developed with
the beginning of debate on the
tax reduction bill. There was an
urgent and compelling demand
for constructive Legislative meas
ures, which grew in volume until
the Teapot Dome affair, like a
hydra-headed monster Of fiction.
sent everybody to cover with a
demand for the protection of the
taxpayer and the prosecution of
present and former public serv-
ants identified with graft meas
ures.
Not even President Coolidge's
definition of his policies in a
speech at New York could divert
the public interest in the politi-
cal mess which has cropped out
of the oil lease matter. The
Presidents speech was taken as
the beginning of his campaign
for Republican nomination. Cog
infant of the Importance of the
oil investigation. Mr.. Coolidge
made it clear that he would pro-
secute without fear or favor"
His speech, in the main, was an
amplification of his first presi-
Dental address to Congress. and
strong bid for popular favor.
The position taken by the Pres
ident in refusing to follow the
request of the Senate, which
called for the resignation of the
Secretary of the Navy DENLY,
has provoked Senate leaders. Mr..
Coolidge stated that the Senate
had no right to invade the Exc
cutive's prerogative in regard to
the members of his Cabinet. II
is believed that the Senate could
not produce sufficient evidence
to warrant the impeachment of
Secretary of the Navy DENLY.
The principal charge against him
has been deficiency Of judgment
rather than personal gain in con-
nection with the leasing of naval
oil reserves to private interests.
The tax bill, which is now in
the House, will undoubtedly be
amended considerably before it
is reported to the Senate. Re
publican leaders admit that they
cannot marshal the necessary
votes to bring about the enact
ment of the Administration bill
without revision. The so-called
insurgent Republicans with II
votes have indicated that they
will not join the Democratic
minority to increase the surtax
rate from Is to 50 per cent.
Realizing the political value of
the tax bill. the feeling prevails
that provision will be made for
immediate reductions to be made

WHAT THE WORLD,
HUMANITY NEEDS


len. rector OF st. Thomas College.
st. Paul. before the recent 6sth
annual convention OF the Mime
sofa Editorial Association in
Minneapolis.
We live In an age Of positivism.
Things are priced for their re-
suits: for their bearing on hui
man wants, and their power to
satisfy human needs. For poetry
and sentiment. there is little well
come. "Cui Bono" is the modern
motto. and in the answer our age
stamps its appraisal of accepted
value. This age of positivism,
claiming to know only the needs
of human life on earth, puts the
question. What is the value of
religion?" Journalism answers
the query. Religion. the soaring
of the soul towards heaven, is the
natural instinct Of humanity. for
its manifestation is universal.
What the forms of religion are
is irrelevant; my thesis is the
existence of the religious instinct
in the human heart under all
circumstances and conditions; in
all ages and beneath all skies.
DEGREES of legislatures. and
bayonets Of armies cannot create
a system Of morals. Moral prin-
ciples are acquired. possessing
power to reach into the soul.
Where are we to look for these
principles? The philosophy of
earth had formulated and de-
clared its principles. idle
theories, vain and futile barriers
to the passions that slumber in
the bosom of humanity. hear
it appeal to the radiant beauty
of virtue. But TO the eye.
fevered with passion, virtue
loses its radiance. and evil puts
on a dazzling glow. Again, !
hear it appeal to the welfare of
society. But what cares evil for
society? He, who is the outcast
of its customs and ordinances?
| hear its appeal to the ultimate
good of the human race-but he
who feels that he is nothing
more than a mere atom in the
mass is little disposed to do him
self violence for the sake of
other atoms, of which he knows
nothing, and for which he cares
less. The touchstone of the
value of such systems is the
power they hold over troubled
souls, who wrestle with pain and
misery, and to whom sins open
vistas of peace and pleasure.
Such theories of morals as the
philosophy of the earth proposes
are only formulas to be trifled
with in playful discussions of the
problems of life; in the practical
solution Of these problems. they
are entirely without weight.
Human morals come from Al
mighty God. and inasmuch as
men are ever in need of a code
of morals, so they are in need Of
the Almighty, and of intimate
intercommunication with Him.
In creating man. God made him
a subject to LAWN his physical
being to physical law; in his
moral being to moral law. In
ruling men, the God of laws re-
wards those who observe law.
and Furnishes those who violate it.
Such are the principles of eternal
truth upon which a system of
personal and business morality
must be established. Journalists
of all men must know and re-
member these principles. Teach
them, too, TO seek from above,
strength for their souls, that
they may have the power of
following these principles; for
even in the presence of the
divine legislator. man is weak
and stands in need Of help if he
is to keep the commandments.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

Hamilton F. Kean believes that the
people OF this country are fairminded
and that they believe in fair play.
We agree with him. We believe, too.
as he does, in the honesty of the citi-
zens OF this Republic, and that igno-
rance never has governed and never
will. 1t is constantly doing the best
we can that has made u United
States.
But, sometimes it is necessary that
we be reminded not to take too seri-
ously the undertaking that goes or
whenever an election is impending.
Such conditions as exist now in Wash
ington have arisen in all countries in
all times. Our own history reveals all
too many similar situations. Yet, We
have always come through safely until
today we may call ourselves the lead
ing Nation of the World.
As Mr.. Kean points out in his article
on page 3 of this issue, u martyred
President Lincoln was being subjected
10 much the same troubles in 1860 as
is Calvin Coolidge today. Mr.. Kean
does well at this time TO ask US to
turn back the pages Of history and
read the immortal words of Abraham
Lincoln, spoken in the dark days OF
1850, at the close OF his address on
Feb. 22nd in Cooper Union.
We are in hearty accord with Mr..
Kean's appeal, let us stand by our
President as our f|orefathers stood by
theirs"
