SEE FAULT IN UNIFORM.

The Officers Club of Central High
School filed with the Board of Educa-
ton yesterday afternoon a complaint
against tie clothier who furnished uni
form this year to members Of the Wash
ington High School Cadet Corps.
The complaint declared that the uni
forms were delivered later than prom
ised and in a ''slipshod" fashion, and
that needed alterations were made with
undue delay. One of the officers, ii
pointed out, was unable to wear his
trousers because they were glued to-
gether at the legs.

AMERICAN LABOR HARD HEAD

Bolshevists insult the intelligence
of American labor when they as
sumo it will be foolish enough to
initiate the dog dropping the meat
from Its mouth, to grab at the
shadow in the water. American
labor, the best conditioned of labor
anywhere ON the face of the earth, is
not 30 foolish.
This was very conclusively and
emphatically stated by President
Green of the A. F. of L. following an
appeal from Moscow. He said: I'VE
in America know something Of the
teachings Of Communism. It would
puzzle one better to express the con-
fiict between the aspirations OF
American and Communist labor than
in these words of President Green:
''They do not see in any strike an
opportunity to increase wages, to
shorten hours, to improve the condi-
ton of the employment Of workers.
but they see in every strike an op-
portunity for revolution" Moreover
he IL right in the conclusion that
American labor is hard headed;
something it hard hearted as WELL
but 1t IL in no mood to swap the
favorable conditions 1t now enjoys
for a mess OF pottage that already Is
fly-bloWu.

Italy and Belgium to be consulted,
are trying their hands at untying the
knot, this, 1t is said, at the instiga-
ton of Germany.
The Germans now have cards to
play. They are wanted in the
League of Nations; they are needed
if that is to be effective in keeping
reace in Europe. They insist that
sole guilt for the war shall no longer
be attached to Germany: they urge
that in order to maintain peace Ger
many must have a source Of raw
material, and that this only may be
had with the return to her of some
of the colonies taken from her as
penalty for the war. This may hard
ly be done without consulting those
of the British colonies interested in
the mandates. Germany also has
possibilities of connivance with Rus
STA in event she does not get what
she wants from the others.
France wants assurance from her
war-like neighbor; moreover she has
treaties with countries hedging Ger
many on the east, agreements France
was forced to make when Germany
refused to abide, rather refused to
try to abide, by the Versailles treaty.
Those treaties require her to go to
the assistance Of Poland under GER
tain conditions. She wishes Ger
many to grant permission for her to
cross German territory for such a
purpose. Such grant Germany is
not in mood to grant.
Americas experience with the
French debt commission and its
propaganda, her reading of the alto
gether unjustiied attacks being
made upon her by cel.ain of the
French press, do not incline her to
confidence in the integrity of Eu-
ropean politics, nor to optimism re-
specting whatever may be assumed
to have been accomplished at
Locarno. Nevertheless the need of
peace in Europe is so apparent. the
further fact that in Germany and
France. both republics. the common
people recognize this need. lend some
assurance to the genuineness of the
efforts now being made at Locarno.
Furthermore it should by this time
be clear to the politicians Of Europe
that they may no longer expect to in
volve America in any settlement of
their home affairs. II they are as in
telligent as supposed it would seem
they should be very much in earnest
to get something worth while out Of
this Locarno conference. And 1t
should go without the saying that
America is very DESTROYS that they
should,

WHAT ABOUT THE MERCHANT
MARINE

Those who consider it their part in
the political game to contribute in
every way possible to bring about
criticism of the President will not
overlook the opportunity the Ship
ping Board controversy affords.
They are saying that he has en-
deavored to exceed his authority, has
trespassed on the authority of Con-
gress.
In his efforts. manifestly given in
the interest as he believed. Of eff
ficiency. he has sought to minimize
the political pull-hauling on the
Board between the sectional inter-
ests, to unity action under one man
control, in all of which he appears to
have trodden on several political
toes.
/ The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has been engaged in a work
with land transportation that sug
gested the need of commission that
might have to do with our shipping
interests. The war came with its
shipping problems and here were
shoulders on which they might be
laid. There is difference of opinion
as to the competency with which
those were borne but all agree the
burden was tremendous. Anyhow
there has been growing appre-
hension that this body as well as the
| Tariff Commission and the Federal
Trade Commission has outlived USE
| fulness.
Those holding Office under these
commissions presumably do not ac-
cord with that opinion. Some of the
members of the Shipping Board re-
sent what they term presidential in
reference. claim the Board is
amenable to Congress, that it should
not permit the President to choose
| it's executive. Readers recall that
Mr.. Haney, who favored removing
Admiral Palmer. was asked to re-
sign by the President and that he
has defied him; that another men,
| Der of the Board, Mr.. Thompson of
Alabama, has resigned and gone
home to run for the U. S. Senate
with administration of the Board as
an issue.
All of this will make a pretty
towse in Congress and fill the pages
of the Record to be printed and
circulated by the taxpayers. Per-
haps the latter will wish to know
just what the Board has done. is
doing. and proposes to do. but 1t is
not likely to find out. OF course
each region will want representation
on the Board and of course this ar
rangement. will afford the regional
members an inviting opportunity to
log-roll. Meanwhile what about the
American Merchant Marine?

THREE cs RECOGNIZED

When Calvin Coolidge was Gov
ernor of Massachusetts a story was
told of a legislative committee call
ing on him and one Of the members
remarking: "About all we've done so
far is to pass the buck" that the
Governor instantly replied: TRY 1t
on me, won't pass the buck"
In like spirit President Coolidge
went to Omaha and courteously and
kindly told the American Legion
about his convictions respecting i'm
portant matters, without regard to
whether those convictions might or
might not be in accord with the con-
victions of his hearers.
Some comprehension Of the effect
of his straightforward speech may be
had from the comment of the New
York World that has insisted Mr..
Coolidge is rather mediocre indi-
vidual and in no sense a national
leader. The World editor now takes
off his hat to the chief executive. who
happens to be of different political
faith. Cottage. conviction and COM
nonsense. these are bound to COM
mand respect in the long run.

The President to the Legion

IN, Y. World)
IL Is highly courageous, this speech
fjust delivered by President Coolidge
before the American Legion. On
this occasion the crafty thing would
have been to shed a tear over the
disabled veteran, club the eagle into
a fine. loud screech, lead three cheers
for. the red. white and blue. and let it
go at that. Moreover, his instinct
for caution being as it is, that is
what Mr.. Coolidge might have been
expected to do. He did not do it.
He went out of his way to do a fine
and brave thing. He administered a
rebuke to the whole patrioteering
philosophy which the Legion, or at
least its most frequently heard
spokesman. has been promulgating
since the war. Item by item he took
up all those things for which the
Legion has stood. increased arma-
ments, radical discrimination, abridg-
ment of individual liberty, cheap 100
percent Americanism, and he an
alyzed them and exhibited them for
what they are really worth.
He called for a spirit of tolerance.
and SO doing he achieved something
which advocates of tolerance seldom
achieve, and that Is tolerance. He
made no mock of those veterans in
front of him, but addressed them in
courteous and conciliatery language,
language which might be expected to
produce results. Coming from the
average public man at such a time
the speech would have been eXtraord-
mary: coming from Mr.. Coolidge it is
well-nigh incredible.
1t is so incredible that It compels
revision of previous pictures of him.
The Coolidge who delivered that
speech is not the Coolidge of year
ago. Then he was an oracle of safe
platitudes, a man who spoke truism
rather than truth. The emptiness of
those days seem to have disappeared.
There is conventional rhetoric in this
speech, but In the main it is made
of pungent phrases which strike hard
at reality. What has happened in
side of him to account for the
change? Has his popularity given
him confidence, dissolved the inhibi-
tons of his caution. 1oosed his soul
to soar where it will? Whatever it
is, If he keeps on at this rate he will
win respect in the highest reaches
of public opinion which so far has
been unmoved by him. Quite posi-
BILE he will always lack spectacular
qualities Of leadership. But since
in general the less Congress does the
better off we are, his deficiencies in
this respect are not altogether lamen-
table. The Presidents usefulness is
not to be measured entirely by tally
marks for the bills he has. pushed
through the House or the treaties he
has pushed through the Senate.
There is another field, an intangible
field of usefulness which consists in
leading the swings of popular opinion
which so conditions life in this coun-
try. If Mr.. Coolidge lends his pres
tige to sanity and sense he will leave
his mark on the country's annals.

"Will I have time. to put on my
new gown" asked the pretty little
LADY, mouse, smiling at Uncle Lucky.

four,

answered the kind old gentleman

housekeeper to her little room under
the kitchen floor, and while obliging
Uncle Lucky was making the house
safe from disagreeable persons like
Danny Fox and Mr.. Wicked Wolf,
she smoothed her hair and put on her
gown.
Locking the kitchen door, she slip

was already seated in the Lucky

he gave the horn a honk or two and

way to describe the motion of an
automobile, I imagine, although the
Luckymobile almost seemed to fly at
times it went so fast when the dear
old gentleman rabbit was anxious to
get to a place.
Turning into the Shady Forest,
careful Uncle Lick guided the car
down the path under the tall, leafy
trees, where up in the branches the
nimble squirrels chased each other,
shaking the nuts from the twigs to
the ground below.
All of a sudden, bang! one of them
hit the dear old bunny mans precious
wedding stovepipe hat. Wasn't that
a. shame? You know how fond he is
of it, Worn it every day since 1868.
Goodness gracious meebus!" ex-

And cure him of being bad"

MUTUAL EFFORT AGAINST
SMUGGLING

The American and Canadian Gov
ernments are now speaking a COM
mon language to their respective
border officials in regulations at
fecting smuggling of booze and dope.
Instructions to the officers OF both
Governments are now uniform and
provision is made for transmission OF
advance information" respecting
clearance of vessels, provision also
for the refusal of customs officials to
grant clearance to vessels under GER
tain circumstances.
The object of these regulations is
to bring about better enforcement
along the boundary line and 1t is
high time this was done. The mar
cotic phase of smuggling operations
is especially difficult to handle but
provision has been made for ex-
change Of information regarding per-
sons engaged in that traffic.
