Ohio, in 1860, of a sturdy stock of
pioneers, her father, Amos King,
being one Of the towns first set

1891 when things did net look too
bright for him. He had just taken
over the ownership of the Marion
Star, and it was loaded down with
mortgages and still had to make a
place for itself in the community.

her first White House function-an
informal luncheon for old friends
and neighbors from Marion, Ohio.
During the whole tire she was

Mrs. Harding combined with her

Needless Noises.

| Howling hucksters constitute a
nuisance in this city which should be
abated. There is a specific police regu'
lation against the crying of wares
from these wagons. Yet it is violated
constantly. Even on Sunday, when
there is special reason for quiet. huck-
sters will invade residential sections
with raucous cries. II they do so limo.
Gently in ignorance of the rule they
should be admonished. But presum-
ably they all know the rules. They
are all licensed, or at least their wag'
ons carry license tags, and they
should be fully informed when the
license is issued to them.
This raises question Of whether
the license tags tackled to the wagons
of these itinerant vendors go with the
vehicles or with the individuals. There
man who drives one of these wagons
is really licensed or Is merely driving
a tagged container. 1t would be well
for the police to overhaul few Of
these people and see whether they are
in truth authorized venders.
At all events, let the rules against
unnecessary noises be enforced to the
limit against all who cry wares at un.
seemly hours or in any places where
the rules prohibit. There is enough
unavoidable noise in the streets of
Washington now, with street cars,
trucks and other traffic, without add.
ing the most hideous vibrations Of the
human voice.

over principles in which the per-

only q minor part. The wish, how
ever, must have been father of the
thought, for each day / run across
men who are interested apparently
| only in the men on the tickets. They
reveal by their talk that they care
little or nothing about parties or the
principles that the parties are sup
posed to stand for. Scores of men in
my presence have condemned the
Republican party in unmeasured
terms, yet announced their purpose
OF voting for President Coolidge. l
have heard an equal number lambast
the Democratic party while sounding
the praises of MIR. Davis.
The tendency seems TO be to
idealize the candidates, to separate
them from their organizations, to
consider them as individuals running
Tor high office rather than as the rep
resentatives of. great parties found
ed on great and opposing principles
or government.
1t was not SO in the old days and
cant bring myself to believe that
not say that modern politics is not
peter than the politics of my youth,
but the attitude of the public toward
politics is different. and l do not
hesitate to say that ! deplore the

believed to be vital. 1t made slight

With equal zeal we fell in behind
Mcclellan, Seymour or Greeley. The
play was the thing; the leading
players were not at all important.
The biennial recollections of my boy
hood are of country doctor father
who would come home at dusk from
an afternoons round OF dispensing
calomal and quinine to the malarially
affficted people of his county, eat A
hasty supper, jump into his buggy and
drive perhaps 90 miles to political
meeting where he would advocate the
cause of Democracy with certain
knowledge beforehand that his party
was going to be beaten in the county
by not fewer than 1900 votes. Yet
for decade he kept this up. But
times have changed. The political
outlook of the people is not toward
principles OF government but very
largely toward men.

Defense Day and Foreign Opinion

The Governor OF Wisconsin goes the
Governor Of Nebraska one better in
the matter of National Defense day
He refuses to designate the day in
Wisconsin, and declines to call out
the National Guard of the State for
September II. If the Guard 10 to par,
ticipate in the demonstration it must
be at the call of the President
Gov. Blaine, communicating through
Adit. Gen. Immell to Gen. Hale, com.
mander of the 9Th Army Corps Area
takes the same position as Gov Bryan
in the fear that Defense day will be
misunderstood by other peoples. He
purpose of the demonstration is
to acquaint the American people with
new national defense plan, yet it
would be interpreted by foreign powers
as the American layman interprets
like demonstrations held in those
lands
This tender solicitude for the under.
standing Of the people Of Europe re.
garding American affairs is something
new. 1t is not particularly convincing
of genuine desire to keep the United
States from a belligerent posture. In
the first place, there is not the slight.
est danger of misconstruction of
Defense day by the people of Europe,
There is not the slightest basis for
such a misinterpretation. The United
States has never waged an aggressive
war. 1t has the reputation the world
over for pursuing the paths of peace.
1t entered the World War only after
repeated occasion was given. Most
Americans thought that it was tardy
in going into that conflict. There can
be no European feeling worth con.
sidering that the United States Ii q
bellicose power or that it is drifting
into a pugnacious position.
IL we on this side are to be sensi.
tive to the possibility of European mis-.
judgment we have much to consider
in the conditions that prevail in parts
Of this country which are much more
likely to be misinterpreted abroad than
the simple assemblase of the potential
defensive forces of the Nation. There
is, for example. the disregard for law
which is manifested in certain sec.
tions, the fragrant defiance of the
fundamental statutes. There are the
mobs that take the law into their own
hands and lynch and torture often
innocent people in spirit of passion
under the cloak Of justice. There are
crimes by the score daily in our most
thickly settled sections. Highway
robberies are committed in the streets
of our largest cities. A true picture in
detail of the lawlessness that is COM
mitted in this country in one week
would, if presented to the people of
Europe, give them an impression of q
barbaric land without order and al
most without government.
Let those who are so fearful of what
Europe may think Of Defense day, a
day that is to be dedicated to self
preservation. consider whether they
are wholly honest in this apprehen.
sion, when they never protest against
the horrible example which America
is setting the world in the matter OF
lawlessness.
