An intimate picture Of the bicker.

the Ford Motor Company's climb to
automotive prominence was written
today into the records of the Gov.
ernment's suit to collect $4,000. 900
in back taxes from Ford's former
partners. Even profits of 200 per
cent in 10 years did not bring peace

Representative Burton quoted
Washington as predicting that "a
century hence. If this country keeps
united land 1t is surely its policy
and interest to do IT. 1t will produce
a city, though not as large as Lon
don, yet Of magnitude inferior to

Washington ranks as the Capital OF

as city Of magnificent buildings

lures which speak for the activities
Of great nation.
This society. in its 60 years OF
life, has witnessed a wonderful
Transformation in the National Cap

what it shall be in the coming years

great beyond?
Its future will not be measured
by the mere test Of population,
though that is large and increasing,
but much more by the influences
which must surely extend from it

bound. We may assuredly cherish
the hope that 1t will be the center
of political and social forces for a
people than which there can be none

of the United States authorities in
sending soldiers and marines to Chi
ma seem to have changed their atti-
tude within the last few days. From
the various church bodies who were
then militantly for peace, even if
they had to fight for it, the gentle
cry is now being raised that we have
not sent enough of the American mil
itary forces and this is not the time
to leave anything to chance.
The explanation of the change is
not hard to discover. It comes from
the reading in the daily papers, by
these well intentioned pacificists, the
stories of the rescue by American
soldiers and sailors, of American
men, women and children from the
danger not only of sudden but of
shameful deaths. At this time it may
not be amiss to relate that when in
February the clamor was particular
ly loud against the sending of armed
forces to China, the statement was
issued from the white house that
what was being done was to provide
against a possible emergency and
that in this case we were using hind
sight instead of foresight, there was
scoffing at the declaration. It's
truth has been proved. The critics
who forced that statement in the
first instance owe to the white house
today something more than mere ac
quiescence by silence, they should
come out honestly and admit tina
they did not understand the posi-
bilities and that they spoke out O
turn.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-While the
number of '1ame ducks" from the
last congressional election is larger
than for number of years, the to-
tai of lame duck applicants for pub
lie office is the smallest in a genera
tion. Directly following congression-
al elections for 20 or more years back
there has always been a steady pro-
cession of the defeated faithful to
the white house filing applications
for public jobs. It was rather taken
for granted that these defeated men
had by reason of their service been
made unfit for a successful battle
with life, and the public payroll was
accordingly their only refuge. This
was so true, there was a certain
amount of leniency shown in con-
firning the ex-solons in their posts.
Prosperity, the same prosperity,
about which d general and constant
dispute is being waged, has operated
to virtually eliminate the lame duck
office seekers. In the old days a SEN
atOr was only too glad to step into
a five or six thousand dollar job as
principal means of livelihood. Now
however, the best government sal
aries fall far short of the amount
necessary for a man to maintain q
family in Washington. Furthermore
even the poorest of senators or con-
gressman is able to earn in excess
Of this amount outside. Thus in g
perfectly natural way the lame duck
office seekers have been eliminated
not because of any public revolt
against the old fashioned method Of
binding up the wounds of defeat anC
misfortune, but because the jobs dc
not pay enough Of a wage to attract
the men. This is one of the blessing.
of prosperity which SO far has beer
overlooked.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The coun-
try is reasonably tolerant of GER
tain amount of political gestures from
its representatives in congress, es-
pecially the Democratic ones, but
there is limit to its patience. When
the gesture is such as Senator Dave
Walsh of Massachusetts made pro-
longing the filibuster and killing the
deficiency bill, thus jeopardizing the
payments which the government is
pledged to make to its disabled sol
diers and dependents and the widows
and children, the breaking point has
been reached. Dave, back home in
Massachusetts, is reported as being
quite filled up with the glory of his
deed. He has declared he is ready
not to apologize but to exalt over
his performance. 1t must be con-
fessed his Democratic confreres, in
Guiding jim Reed of Missouri, are
not one with him in the thought.
FofLunaUely the edge OF this hard
ship to innocent people has been OBJ
waited in part by the action Of the
president in cutting red tape and
stretching the law to the limit, so
that pension money is being paid
from other funds. It is a wonder
that David has not sought to follow
his hand and try legal proceedings
to prevent the treasurer making
these payments. Here is a chance
for him to try for another great vic
tory. A few more similar ones from
the Democratic side, and the great
minority party may find that it is
not necessary to even hold a political
convention for the naming of a can.
didate for the presidency.
