Of rejoinder. Indeed, he may sue fol-
libel notwithstanding his present pre-
dicament.
If this is simple press agentry, tc
evoke a public interest in the book
about to be published. it is undeniably
effective. But was such an astoniSh-
ing advance notice necessary to elicit
attention? While there have been
numerous publications since his death
regarding the career of President Hard
ing, many Of them are of q slanderous
and even salacious nature and the pub
lie has been surfeited with them. A
book by the former Attorney General,
known to be the Presidents closest in
innate, his political adviser, his trusted
friend. is certain to gain wide read
ing regardless of the circumstances in
which he quit public Office.
The melancholy story of Mr.. Harding
will perhaps never be told in full. In
deed, the question is whether it needs
to be told. Enough is known to present
him to history as a man whose greatest
misfortune was his trust in men, whose
high qualities Of mind and heart were
handicapped by his affections and his
faith in undependsble advisers. If it
is true, as Mr. Daugherty now AYERS,
that he was led by a forgery to name to
a seat in his cabinet one who betrayed
the trust reposed in him, he was indeed
the victim Of his own confding good

The Government Chess Board.

An immediate consequence Of the
removal Of the bureaus Of the Depart
ment of Commerce into its newly COM
pleted building Is general shifting
about Of Government Offices, as spaces
vacated by the Commerce Department s
various branches are at once to be
filled by Offices that have heretofore
been inadequately housed, mostly in
rented quarters. These moves are made
according to carefully planned sched-
ule, with view to a maximum use of
the released spaces. In time these bu-
reaus that are now transferred will have
their own establishments as the Gov
ernments building program Is carried
out to completion.
One of the oddities of this shifting
incident TO the occupancy Of the new
Commerce Building is the transfer OF
portion of the War Department from
the se-caned State, War and Navy
Building to the structure that has just
been vacated by the Commerce De-
partment itself, this to give more space
to the State Department, which even
tually will occupy the whole Of that
structure, the exterior of which Is soon
to oe remodeled to approximate the
appearance of the Treasury Depart
ment. The War Department, in turn
will eventually have its own home, just
as will the Navy Department, which
formerly occupied the eastern portion
OF the tri-department building, but nox

and usher in a new day Of happiness
and prosperity.
If we are to walk looking about us,
and doing so with kindly and under
standing sympathy for those with whom
we have to do we shall bring about a
situation that will lift from the backs
of those now overburdened the cares
that distract and destroy them. 1t may
be a counsel of perfection, but at least
it is worth trying
The second admonition contained in
the text has to do with so recognizing
the circumstances and events that at
tend our way that we shall see in them
new opportunities for service. The
writer likenS the world to a great mar
ket place in which is displayed certain
wares that constitute opportunities. To
have the capacity not only to see and
admire them, but to buy them up, that
by our use of them we may enrich
others, means to lend to life both profit
and privilege. Most of us have a fairly
keen sense of material values, but we
employ it largely for self-interests. We
rarely buy up opportunities for the good
of others. The artist, the poet and the
musician who exercises his talents does
so that he may contribute to the hap
piness and refinement of life. Many of
those who have been the great bene-
factors through the exercise of their
genius have known little of emolument
and less of praise in their lifetime.
without them the world would be i'm
poverished. They bought up the oppor-
tunity, gave themselves selfiessly to 1t
in the interests of their fellows and we
record their names among those who
have benefited mankind
No one Is so poor that he cannot con-
tribute to the betterment and enrich
ment of his fellows. The great Master
said that even cup of cold water given
in His name to one who is thirsty has
its definite reward. He did not magnify
the size of the gift, but rather the spirit
Of the giyer. The fine lines of Sir
Launfal suggest what we have in mind:
who gives himself with his gift feeds
three
Himself. his hungering neighbor and
