HARDEN ASSA|LS.
EBERT AS LEADER
Declares Germany Has Never
Really Accepted Republic
Principle.
BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN.

BY Radio TO The Star.
BERLIN, December 2.-Germany in
the last six years has had a repub-
1ican constitution, but it does not yet
comprehend the duty of holding it
sacred. Only this week Chancellor
Marx declared that it was incompre-
hensible that President Ebert should
be drawn into the election, saying
that such a maneuver was incon-
ceivable in any other country.
Mark Twain, who said the chief
advantage of democracy was in
being able to call the President a
donkey without being punished,
would laugh in his tomb, while Wood
row Wilson would smile bitterly and
president Coolidge and former Pres
idents Millerand and Obregon could
prove the contrary by their own eX
perience.
What should be astonishing is not
that an occasional stray shot hits
President Ebert, but that this power
full official is almost never mentioned
or is utterly forgotten. This proves
that he is what the Americans call
''old stuff
Career Lacks Color.
This upstart Socialist burns today
what he worshiped yesterday, and
he Will worship tomorrow what he
burned yesterday. He is the son of
a Catholic beadlo of Heidelberg Uni
persity, but he never went beyond
tho public school, and after practic-
tng the trade of saddlery he became
editor of a provincial Socialist paper
and later ran a sailors lodging house
at Bremerhaven, and ORGANIZED
strikes. He was elected to Parlia-
nent as a. Social Democrat, and when
the German army collapsed in 1918
ct
him as a makeshft.
Wilhelm, who saw what Kind of
q man he was. said:
Il shall be happy to work with
Herr Ebert"
But Ebert was too late TO save
the monarchy and after the pseudo
revolution, which he vainly tried to
prevent, he became the peoples COM
1nissary and in 1919 the national as
Sembly elected him provisional pres
tdent. According to the constitu-
tion, the people must elect a per-
nanent president
But the election never was held
New laws were substituted and Ebert
remained president, although he was
never popularity elected. He was
given one Of the most handsome
palaces in Berlin and small staff
of courtiers taught him and his wife

Ebert now motors and hunts (Some
say quite in the kaiScrS style) and

FIRE PREVENTION
DAY PROCLAIMED
President Designates Octo-
Der 8 for Observance in
Homes and Schools.

President Coolidge issued a procla-
nation today designating Thursday,
October 8, the SD anniversary of the
Chicago fire, as National Fire Pre-
vention day.
The proclamation directed the at
tention of public officials, civic or
ganizauons and newspapers to tho
importance of carrying on fire pre-
vention activities in the schools,
homes and Industrial establishments.
Although gratifying efforts are
being made" the President said, ito
lengthen the lives Of our citizens and
to conserve our diminishing store of
natural resources, the nations an
nual loss in life and property due
to fire continues to surpass that of
any other country. 1t is reported
that $1,000 American lives and prop
erty valued at $500, 100000 were lost
in fires during 1923.
1.-THE problem of combating this
stupendous waste is of national i'm
portsnce. If 1t is to be diminished,
especial effort must be made to edu-
cate the public mind and conscience
to the necessity of improving build
ing construction, increasing protec-
tive equipment and fostering a spirit
of national carefulness. The preser-
walton of thousands of lives and
valuable property is a task worthy
of our constant endeavor and whole
some cooperation"

HUGHES IS TARGET
OF MOSCOW PRESS
People Given Impression So
Wet Recognition Is Big U. S.
Campaign Issue.
By the Associa ted Press.

MOSCOW, September 12.-Caustic
editorials. highly abusive of Charles
Il. Hughes, the American Secretary
OF State, continue to appear in the
bolshevik papers The articles take
issue with Mr.. Hughes upon his at
titude toward Soviet Russia.
One of the most sarcastic of these
outbursts appeared in today's Pravda.
1t was based on the recent survey
policy since 1921. The writer strives
to convey the Impression to his Rus
sian readers that the question of
recognition of Russia is one of the
most important in the present po-
litical campaign in the United States
Sees Humor In Speech.
'Mr. Hughes" declares the writer
"is not q Columbus, and in his recent
speeches we do not find a new Amer
lea. He only reveals the cravings
of the American capitalistic groups.
in whose name he speaks. Mr.
Hughes poses as a prophet and sets
himself up as the exemplar of cor
rect mutual relationships and of the
principles OF justice and trust be-
tween peoples. He possesses good
deal of humor. He apparently in
cludes in his category of mutual
justice and trust his late support of
Admiral kolchak's expedition, in
which America spent great sums Of
money upon murder and political and
military plots. the blowing up of
bridges and other acts. which, in Mr..
Hughes opinion. comprise the princi-
pies of morality and Justice
The editorial refers to Mr.. Hughes
remarks on the Genoa conference re-
garding the attitude OF the United
states toward Russia, and continues:
I'm the worlds humorous literature,
and even In the writings Of the Amer
ican humorist, Mark Twain, there
cannot be found a greater amount of
cynicism and hypocrisy than is given
by Mr.. Hughes. His humor Is
that OF a man condemned to death.
Those people who acknowledge the
barbarous and harsh czarist regime
which existed before the war; those
people who have been stockholders of
the most reactionary newspaper in
Russia, the Novo Vremya; those peo-
pie who have shaken hands with the
bloody Sultan Abdul Hamid, and who
organized pogroms in Turkey and Ar
menia, now have assumed the role of
preacher of the morals and the vir-
tues of peoples. This surpasses all
bounds of cynicism and hypocrisy"
The editorial says Mr.. Hughes does
not really represent the opinion of
the American masses, which hold a
different point of view regarding the
recognition OF Soviet Russia. The
presidential elections, 1t adds, will
show who is right on this question,
Mr.. Hughes or the American people.

The success of such doctrine, which
would mean that the Constitution

be disastrous, and government would

Dawes told his audience. would be to

and conflict, cat the mercy of Con

threats of mob action"
THE courts of the United States"
he continued, "are the guardians of
the inalienable rights of individuals,
including the freedom of the press.
the rights OF property and religious
tolerance. They interpret laws passed
by Congress in their relation to those
rights upheld by the Constitution.

''The government whose policy Is

Such doctrine could not be classed
