When President Harding yesterday j laid before the Senate the treaties | Browing out of the conference on the j limitation of armament and far east ern questions, he delivered one of the greatest addresses ever heard within or without the Senate chamber. It waa great not primarily because of elegance of diction or flight of oratory, but be cause of its logic, its plain common sense and its profound and eloquent impressiveness. There was no ob scurity in its meaning. The plainest of men will understand the things the President said and know why he said them. He so simplified the questions involved in ratification of the treaties that they cannot be clouded by any artifices of debate or deviousness of ] reasoning. The Senate must ratify the treaties or give to the country | good and sufficient reasons why it will | nof. The President made no concealment of the fact that he had "played poli tics" with respect to the arms confer ence. but the kind of politics he played , .Is the kind that rises to the heights of great statesmanship. He reminded his hearers that it was at the Instance of ? Congress that the conference had been called, and that, having in mind the duty of the Senate to advise and con sent in fhe making of treaties, he had ^rhosen the majority and the minority leaders of that body to sit at con ference table, so that the Senate might have fullest knowledge of the conference processes. And then, still further to assist the Senate in the dis charge of its function, he laid before that body the minutes of all proceed ings. Then, having explained the great j good which would flow from the j treatie3 and the absence of entangle ments involved in them, he gave the Senate this solemn thought to ponder upon: "Either these treaties must havf your cordial sanction, or every proclaimed desire to promote peace and prevent war becomes a hollow | mockery." , The President did not say in so many words that the American sys tem of government, so far as it per tains to intercourse with other na tions, was on trial, but there is no . escaping the conviction that it is. Here are seven treaties of admitted beneficence, undertaken at the in stance of the ilational legislature, and j negotiated in the full light of day by representatives of the two branches of j government charged by the Constitu tion with responsibility; submitted with fullest information as to every consideration which influenced their making. As the President told the Senate, failure under such circum stances to ratify the agreements I would "render future efforts futile or | unlikely." Boosevelt and Publicity. A collection of Roosevelt documents and relics is on view at the New York Public Library, and large numbers of persons are inspecting it. As many as 1,500 a day have called. This is taken from a news story: One of the most extensive collections of newspaper clippings ever made concerning Col. Roosevelt has just been presented to the association by the widoV of Charles Carroll Post of Gloster, N. J. The late Mr. Post's admiration for Col. Roosevelt im pelled him as far back as 1899 to be gin a Roosevelt scrapbook, and from I then on the collection grew until it ' filled twenty-four quarto volumes, with two additional volumes of news- | paper cartoons. . No American of his generation at tracted so much attention, or was the subject of so much spoken and written comment, as Theodore Roosevelt. He was many-sided; and whether viewed as politician, soldier, student, sports man, writer, ranchman or explorer, he possessed qualities which not only fixed attention but aroused admiration. Many men and women tried their "tongues or pens on him while he lived, and many others have done so since his death. ' A literature is springing up around his name; and in time it will bulk large. He is going down to posterity with a picturesque approval seldom equaled. It was a distinguished European who Inquired of a visiting American: "Tell me. What sort of a man is your Col. Roosevelt?' "All sorts," replied the American. | "I'm not indulging in a smart reply, but only stating a fact. Tou have never met, and probably never will meet, such a man. We haven't his like even In our country of dash and orig , inality." , The old Romans'were often indiffer ent to incidents of cruelty, but they | took pains to make th3ir amphi "theaters architecturally solid. -*?" Bootleggers are accused of selling '"'whisky when as a matter of fact most of their merchandise is nothing like it. T ^lr , The President to the Farmers. In a letter read at Crookston, Minn., ? yesterday, at a farm crop and live ^ stock fair being held there, President Harding said: i\r . "in the general industrial and busi ness situation there Is much te justify confidence that we are well past the ??:- worst <phases of the agricultural crisis, that Improvement is well be fun and that It will continue stead ily from this time forward. This is not onfly a source of Satisfaction to -every friend of the farmer, but also to Jcwhoever is interested in any phase of American business, for we have all come to recognise the interdependence gfcall departments-of the national in dustrlal establishment. No one of them .can prosper permanently If any other great bruich of national ac tivity la depressed." This Interdependence exists, but, un fortunately, Is too often forgotten. A good deal of the agitation which dis tracts this country is keyed in the miserable cry of "every fellow for him self, and devil take the hindmost!" Capital must earn good dividends, or labor cannot receive good wages. If labor docs not receive good wages and is not contented, capital is not well served, and dividends suffer. If the farmer suffers, the manufac turer in some way and measure suf fers too. If trouble comes first to the manufacturer, it passes on in season to the farmer. The familiar statement <Jf the case is at last the best. We are all in the 8amd boat, and equally interested in keeping her seaworthy. If she sinks, all will go down with her. An unpre cedentedly heavy sea is running, and the swell is causing anxiety. But there is comfort in the fact that ours is the best boat afloat, and has experi enced rough weather before. With the skipper in good spirits and striving to hearten all with words of good cheer, why not brace up? 'We'll stand the storm, it won't be long. We'll anchor by and by." Navy Yards and Ship Work. A practical step toward lessening the ill-effect of naval armament limita tion through the dispersal of the'navy yard forces was taken yesterday in the Senate, when an amendment to the in dependent offices appropriation bill was offered by Senator Lodge. This amendment provides that none of the funds appropriated by the bill shall be used for the repair of any vessel owned or controlled by the govern ment until an opportunity has been given the navy yards to estimate upon the cost of such repairs. This pro vision, which is to take effect upon passage of the act, will, if adopted Anally, permit the use of the surplus naval establishment forces upon ship board repair and reconditioning work. There is little likelihood that the United States will quickly go out of the ship business. Whatever may be the ultimate policy, it is probable that for several years to come the govern ment will be in control of a considera ble fleet of merchant marine which will be in constant need of repairs. If for only a season or two this work is available for the navy yards it would tide over the adjustment period following the adoption of the naval limitation policy. Ordinarily it is not the policy of the government to engage in competition with private industry. Its mechanical industrial establishments are for its own purposes and none other. It care fully abstains from rivalry with pri vate enterprise. But this is a matter of its own concern. The ships belong to the United States and are operated by it. Responsibility for their care and maintenance rests upon the gov ernment. It has the facilities for their repair. Why should It not do its own work rather than ask for bids from private establishments. The Washington naval gun factory is equipped for much more than mere gun-making. It is a general machine shop. Its employes are capable of do ing work along any line. If some of the Shipping Board repair work were allocated to the local yard it could be as well done as anywhere else. It may be that most if not all of the 1.350 em ployes who were furloughed on Thurs day without warning, and who are j now asking reinstatement to active duty, could be kept at work on Ship ping Board jobs. To that end it is to be j hoped that the amendment proposed yesterday in the Senate wfll be adopt ed and will become law without delay. Theatrical producers who protest that the .public will resent any addi tional ticket tax may have an oppor tunity to rise to an emergency by put ting on attractions which compel popu lar attention, regardless of price. More actors are said to be out of employ ment than ever before, so that the ex pense involved in presenting talent might be figured down in a manner that would easily take care of the tax and leave a margin of profit for genu inely good entertainment. The citizen who is not a farmer shares the satisfaction arising from the fact that the agricultural crisis is past. The farmer is at least sure of getting the first chance at food for his own table. A Mexican train robber was recog nized as one of the plotters against I his government. The Mexican revolu tionist by profession is too frequently a brigand by trade. No further desire to terrorize the world is indicated by Lenin. His pres ent suggestion is that he is so docile | that it would be perfectly safe to lend him money. Ireland is free, but there are still a few little arguments for the citizens to I settle among themselves.' Speeding Up. As a spur to legislation by the pres ent Congress it is suggested that the next is not likely to be called in extra session; that the full period of nine months will In all probability mark the end of the Sixty-seventh Congress and the beginning of the activity of its sue-1 cessor. *1 Mr. Wilson called in extra session the Congress that had come In with i him. There was much to be done. Six teen years of republican control had made large and difficult the task of the party ^pledged to revise nearly the whole of the republican record. So Mr. Wilson, reasoning that the sooner the task was undertaken the better, set Congress at once to work, and kept It on the job until s.considerable portion of the job had been executed. Mr. Harding pursued the same course, and for much the same reason. Only the task of the republicans was larger. It had to do with many ques tion* raised by the war, and with old questions .the war had affected. If the democrats carry the next House, an extra session of the new Congress will be inadvisable, for the reason that little, if anything, could be accomplished. A deadlock on many matters would be inevitable. If the re publicans continue to (nil control on Capitol Hill, the country, having signi fied approval of the record, will be willing to wait for further feature* along the same lines. Pressure for legislation between now and March 4 of next year is going to be strong and constant, and it should secure many measures the country de sires and stands in need of. Neighborhood House. The oldest settlement house in Washington is raising its annual bud get of $10,000, with an additional $1,000 needed to make necessary re pairs to the roof. Neighborhood House needs no introduction to those who are interested in social welfare. Its work has been going on for many years, and its sphere of beneficent Influence has widened with the passing. But others who have accepted life in the National Capital as they have found it, not bothering with affairs of other people, can have little idea of what such a place as Neighborhood House is, or what it does, unless they personally investigate the settlement. It constitutes one of the most inter esting experiments of a great city. Neighborhood House stands in the wharves area not far from the foot of ? 7th street. Here children of the neigh borhood are cared for by trained workers, without any taint of patron izing the parents, and here children of all ages are taught useful work. The settlement is famous for its rugs woven from rags, and for various dyed stuffs. The girls are taught sew-1 ing and housekeeping, and the boys various manual accomplishments. Besides a kindergarten there are various clubs for older boys and girls, where all sorts of social activities go forward. Every spring the children who use Neighborhood House give a series of plays, culminating in a May pole festival. In the rear of the settle ment is a "back-yard theater." Every body should be acquainted with this settlement, as a fine example of its type. The necessity for raising its budget will then become apparent to any one. The Senate and the Pacts. The difference between the proceed ings in Paris three years ago and those just concluded in this town is not more marked in any particular than in that relating to the Senate. At the Paris conference the Senate was not taken into the calculations at all. It seemed to be assumed, if the matter was thought of. that the Sen ate would ratify whatever in the way of a treaty might be laid before it. President Wilson's signature was re garded as sufficient. The English, the French, the Italian, the Japanese dele gates seemed to accept that as the finality so far as the United States was concerned. At the conference here the Senate was very much in the picture from first to last. The presence as dele gates. of Mr. Lodge and Mr. Under wood was a constant reminder of the Senate, and of its share under the Constitution in the treaty-making power of the government; and not a delegate in attendance from any for eign government was without knowl edge that the pacts negotiated by the conference would be subject to the Senate's approval. The Senate, of course, received no more consideration than was its due. but it received all of that, and in a way to impress the visitors with its importance in the American scheme of things. That the pacts will be ratified is the confident belief of those of their supporters who with^ favorable oppor tunities have canvassed the situation. Statisticians who estimate that Chi cago has only 10,000 professional crim inals pay the western metropolis an inadvertent compliment. The figures are necessarily inexact, for criminals are never to be relied on as permanent residential population. Chicago is a large city, and if all except 10,000 citizens, whose right to be called citi zens is problematical, are honest, un offending persons, the law-abiding average is remarkably high. ?There may be moments when Presi dent Ebert of Germany wishes that Max Harden would devote his pro found capacity for economics to show ing the head of the government how to live on his salary. The blizfeard of 1922 set a new standard for the old timer who de lights in weather reminiscences. SHOOTING STABS. BT PHILANDER JOHNSON*. Illustrations and Text.

Capital City Headquarters Of Numerous National Bodies WASHINGTON, the nation's capital, ii rapidly becoming the headquarters for na tional organizations of po litical, industrial, financial and edu cational interests. A survey of the various bodies which have moved their headquarters to this city in or der to be in close touch with national affairs shows an imposing list of organisations which have their main offices or some form of representa tion here. This is a perfectly logical and nat ural movement In view of the steady growth and Importance of Washing ton in national affairs. Since the war executives of these organisations have come to realize that it is both expedient and necessary to have rep resentation In the National Capital. The war undoubtedly gave Impetus to this movement, as Washington then became the center of world affairs. During the last five years the number of these headquarters which have been established here has grown by leaps and bounds.' tf * ? * % * Probably the largest of these or ganizations, and one which has for a long time been cognizant of the importance of representation In Washington, Is the Chamber of Com merce of the United States. This body, composed of over 1,500 con stituent bodies, not only has Its na tional headquarters here, but plans to erect, In Washington a magnifi cent building at 17th and H streets costing In the neighborhood of 12,000,000. Before the war large organizations which were national in membership and character generally made their headquarters near the center of the membership. Consequently the mid dle west cities?Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and others?due to their ac cessibility for the largest number, were the cities selected. . The change which was bound to come is now here. Washington, the center of national affairs, is now be ing chosen as the logical point where headquarters should be established. * * * * Some of the largest of these or ganizations established here are: Na tional Industrial ' Conference Board, American Mining Conference, South ern Hardwood Traffic Association, National Lumber Manufacturers' As sociation, National Association of the Moving Picture Industry. American Wholesale Coal Association, National Petroleum Association, Institute of American Meat Packers. United Typothetae of America, National Lime Association. National League of Com mission Merchants of the United States. Interstate Cotton Seed Crush ers' Association, National Fertilizer Association. American Bar. Associa tion. National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, National Grange, As sociation General Contractors of America. National Coal Association. American Bankers' Association. American Beet Sugar Association, Na tional Council of American Cotton Manufacturers, American Hardware Manufacturers' Association, American Short Line Rail Road Association, American Cane Growers' Association, National Association of Credit Men, American Farm Bureau Federation, American Face Brick Association. National Association of Sand and Gravel Producers' Manufacturing [ Chemical Association of the United 8tates, Proprietary Association, Fed 1 erated American Engineering Socle I tlea. Associated Industries of Mas sachusetts. Boxboard Manufacturers' j Association. National Association of 1 Manufacturers, American Drug Manu facturers' Association, National Re tall Drygoods Association. National Dairy Association. Southern Whole sale Grocers' Association, Aasoclated I Advertising Clubs of the World, Na tional Wholesale Lumber Association, Institute of Independent Manufacturers of Margarin and the National Educa tional Association. * * * * There are many others, too numer ous to mention, and the list is grow ing" dally. The government depart ments, the Library of Congress and the cosmopolitan features and as pect of the city make its attraction and Interest too strong to be resist ed. Nowhere else In the United Statea can be found a city where so many advantages aid the national organiza tions. The Department of Commerce. Department of Agriculture, Buuau of Standards and others are at'all times at the service of any who may care to avail themselves of them. In the libraries can be found voluminous data on every conceivable subject, and In the legislative reference bu reau of the Library of Congreis leg islation pertaining to any business can be laid before the inquirer at a minute's notice. * * * * An Interesting feature of the growth of the national headquarters movement in Washington Is shown in the formation of the Monday Luncheon Club, which meets weekly at the City Club. It Is composed solely of representatives of the vari ous national organizations. . Two years ago. when the number of these bodieB represented here was comparatively small, Nathan B. Wil liams, representative of the National Association of Manufacturers, con ceived the Idea of a club which would enhance the value of national or ganizations by the working together of the variouslrepresentatives. So the Monday Luncheon Club waa formed, composed of seven repre sentatives. Whenever an organiza tion established headquarters here, the representative was sent an invi tation to join. The membership has steadily grown in both importance and numbers until at the present practically all the large organisations are members. / The basic principle on which the club was organized has been rigidly folllowed. There has never been an effort to increase the membership solely for a greater revenue. If a member does tnot attend the meet ings It is because he fails to appre ciate the value of association with his fellow workers and the exchange of ideas which features ti- -j meetings. * * * * Speakers of. national and interna tional importance are heard at these meetings, and thus members of the club are frequently advised of events of national Interest before they are known to the public. Interviews with representatives of some of the organizations have dis closed unanimous enthusiasm for Washington, the capital city, and the view prevails that the logic of cir cumstances will require a constantly increasing number of national bodies to make this city their headquarters. EDITORIAL DIGEST Wa? the "Bloc" Beheaded? ?! Popular Indorsement of Senator | Kenyon's fitness for a federal judge ship, widespread and warmly cordial though it is, is almost lost in editorial speculation and discussion of the whys and wherefores of the appoint ment, and in the expression of a deeply felt regret at his passing from the Senate. The New York Globe (in dependent) finds it "almost impos sible to give any adequate explana tion of why the Iowa leader accept ed the appointment," since, as the Oregon Journal (Portland, independ ent) has it. he was "too big and too useful a man to be taken from the Senate and buried in a federal judgeship." 5 A number of papers, however, find reason enough in the senator's own mental attitude, for, according to the Philadelphia Public Ledger (inde pendent), he has been "sick at heart over ?Newberryism," piqued, disil lusioned, tired of the Senate and of politics"; tired, the Dayton <Ohio) News (democratic) continues, "of the progressive fight he has been making asrainst the strongly In trenched and what to him must have seemed at times insufferable reac tionaries in the United States Sen ate." So, with "the public welfare department which he longed for not yet established; the excellent con stitutional amendment which he fa vored giving the President the power to veto individual Items in an ap propriation bill still only a dream; the packers still free from the fed eral control he would put upon them, he passes, the New York Times (In dependent democratic) says, to the studious and quiet usefulness of the bWillie the Springfield (Mo.) Leader (democratic) observes that he did the best thing for Kenyon in accept ing the appointment, which would not have been declined by any mem ber of the Senate," the Des Moines Capital (republican) rather hotly re torts that the senator was fully justified" in making the change In his service to the public, since *hu> am bition has long been to serve oni the federal bench." a capacity in which, the paper holdd, "he will have oppor tunity to follow the same ideals that he has pursued In the Senate." Because of those Ideals the Phila delphia Bulletin (Independent repub lican) regards his appointment an admirable one," for, as the Minnesota' Star (Minneapolis, independent) de clares, "a man of Kenyon s type is certainly needed on the bench. He will "bring to the bench that human auality of which it is in great need, the Norfolk (Neb.) News (independ ent) believes, and. therefore, the Omaha World-Herald (independent) considers his appointment a distinct gain for the federal judiciary," as the Iowa senator is "just the type of man most needed in that great and power ful branch of the national govern ment," possessing, the Port Wayne Journal -Gasett'e (democratic) feels, [ "an instinctive sense of justice. But, granting all that is said in praise of his qualifications as judge, many writers agree with the Green Bay Press-Gazette (independent) that his going is "a greater, loss to the Senate than gain to the judiciary, ? and, as the Duluth Herald (independ-. eift) puts it, "nobody is going to be especially happy about the change. Mr. Kenyon "is needed where he is, the Grand Rapids Herald (independ ent) asserts, for "the United States Senate is none too strong today in its personnel at best, and its standing with the country is none too good, while the New Orleans States (demo cratic) feels that "no man in the body commands more generally the respect and esteem of the whole country. Iowa "loses," comments the Sioux City Tribune (Independent), she "has been proud of her junior senator,' and the Journal (republican) of the same city feels that the state "will miss the strength that he has con tributed to the battle for righteous ness and square dealing." Indeed, "there will be general regret through the west," the Rocky Mountain News (Denver, independent) thinks, for, as the St. Paul News (Independent) ex presses it, bis withdrawal from the Senate "is a bitter blow to the vut agricultural interests" of the country. But precisely because of the power 'he was developing In support of these same "vast agricultural Interest^' as head of the agrarian bloc In Congress, many editors And it reasonable to suppose, with the Hartford Times (democratic) that "President Harding < was intensely pleased at being able to gratify the Iowa senator's ambi tion" for a federal Judgeship. British prime ministers, the Wall Street Jour nal (independent) relates, "have a way of disposing of the inconvenient activities of a too Independent mem ber of parliament by persuading the king to confer upon him the honor of a peerage. The device Is called 'kicking him upstairs.'" That this Is what happened to Kenyon is "as plain as the nose on one's face." the Flori da Metropolis (Jacksonville, demo cratic) contends, and many writers, chiefly democratic, agree. Kenyon was a thorn in the side of the admin istration," the Newark News (inde pendent) asserts, and "an executive gesture to which he bows takes him out of the picture, killed by kindness." In any event, the Birmingham News (democratic) is convinced that the kindness "was not altogether guile less." Educated Illiterates. As a corrective for "illiteracy among the educated," Dr. McCracken, president of Vassar College, presents four resolutions on the subject of reading. They are: "First?That we will remember what we read. It would be far bet ter for all of us If we read less and remembered more. "Second?That we will think over what we read. "Third?That we will apply what we read. Nine books in ten that we read are not read in order to apply them to life, but to distract our minds from Nfe. Books are a dissipa tion, a scattering of our'energies, not a charging and strengthening of them. "Fourth?That we will grow with our reading. Most of us read one ele mentary book after' another, with no direction or plan. We never think. 'Where is our reading taking us?" We never stop to think that books are steps upward. Let us go to school to our books, we educated illiterates, and not stay always in the first grade." It is true that although more peo ple are reading than ever before, there is also more shiftless reading, shiftless In choice of matter and method of perusal. And this mark of "Illiteracy" Is upon those who should know better, as well as upon those from whom, because of lesser advan tages, less should be expected.?El mira Star-Gazette (independent).
