Mr. Harding, it is said, Will
name his Cabinet in February and
put them to work right away, net
at their official deoks, of oourse,
but elsewhere, studying cenditions
and getting ready for work that
cannot actually begin before
March 5. The frst problem to be
considered by Mr. Harding and all
of his advisors is lack of employ
mont for American workers. No
problem can be solved until that
is solved.
The Arst step, regardless of all
sentimentality, is to see that
American workdrs make the
tkbegs used in Ameries. While
American workers lack work there
should be no purchasing abroad
of anything that Americans can
make. And what is done for
mechanics and laborers should be
done also for farmers.
Sympathy for other nations is
most becoming. But PROVISION
for American worker. is the Arst
eonsideration. The world is torn
by a war that still continues. This
country did not start It, however
earnestly Europeans may try to
make us feel responsible for the
war and for them.
The first business of this coun
try is to LOOK AFTER THIS
COUNTRY. If that be brutal
selnshness, make the most of it.
Fortunately, Mr. Harding knows,
by the size of the vote and the
ON4E issue of the campaign, that
he was elected to attend to THIS
country, not to Mesopotamia,
Armenia, Hhidustan. And he will
attend to the job for which he was
chosen.
Another woman, Mrs. Clara
Smith Hamon, having killed the
man in the case, presents to your
attention another diary of which
the moral, for foolish men, reads:
"Women are not as helpless as
you may think.'
The revolver has done much to
make man's brutality dangerous
to man.
If Sappho had had a revolver
she would probably have shot
Phaon and written a diary about
v him instead of jumping into thA
sea from tho Leucadian rock.
Mrs. Hamon's shooting, not now
before the courts, may be discuss
ed. Her lawyer should present to
the Jury two pictures:
First, a photograph of the
statue showing a gorilla carry
ing off a white woman.
Sp o, a picture of Mrs. Clara
Smit Hamon and of the man who,
according to her diary, kept her in
hideous moral slavery.
The lawyer would say: "Gentle
men of the jury, you would be
glad to hear that the woman in
the gorilla's clutch had killed the
gorilla.
"You ought to congratulate my
client, Mrs. Hamon, on having
killed the man that made her life
an unbearable torture. I request
yofi to set her free, with your
compliments."
IIlegal violence is to be regret
ted, always, but it is well, occai
sionally, to have a woman and a
diary come along to warn men of
a certain kind that you cannot
safely treat women as merchandise
to be bought and sold.
Thus far, you will admit, every
word that has come from Harding
is encouraging and on the right
American lines.
He demands now AMERICAN
ships, sailing to every foreign
kport, and does not seem to care
much what England thinks on
that question.
The present Gv~ernment, after
allowing the pai .-ge of a bill most
beneficial to American ships, ar
bitrarily killed the bill when it
became evident that it did not
suit the plans of Great Britain.
H arding's Administration, based
on the theory that THIS Is the
best country, that it should have
an Administration for America,
not for any other country or
group of countries, may do the
work of reconstruction that will
spread from here to the rest of the
world.
A sufficient reply to League of
Nations vaporings is contained in
these few words of Harding's lat
est speech:
"I want to acclaim the day when
America is the most eminent of
the maritime nations. I hope we
may find a way to work toward re
duction of armamemts, but until
that timue comes I want a Navy for
American defense that is equal to
the aspirations of this country.
And I want our merchant ships
sailing to every mart in the
That covers the ground in the
American way. The Navy must
be backed up by flying machines
and submarines; Hardn, knows
that.
If European nations say, "We
are too poor to compete with you
in shipbuilding," this country's
answer should be, "Then DON'T
compete. Save your money. You
will not be attacked by the United
States, and you know It well. This
country means only to have and
to keep what belongs to it. The
best thing for you Is to disarm,
since you used your armies and
navies for offense, and let Uncle
Sam he the international police
in any case, it is a comfort to
have, in the incoming President.

rtates has a right to male its own
nlans and carry them out.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-T4e scope of the recent pronounce

has not yet been grasped.
They concern America arnd Fourope ior than Ireland

Winston Churchill has condensed Lloyd George's justi

all hazards into a single phrase.
Ireland. he says, is "a fearful danger" to England.
CHURCHILL NOT MAN TO BE SCARED.
Now, Mr. Churchill, militarist ais h4 is, is not i nan to
be scared out of his sense by the pitiful attenipt of a hand

the martyrdom of the Lord Mayor of Cork can avenge itself.

have any effective aid for Ireland.
