THE DISCRETION THAT DOTH
HEDGE OUR PRESIDENTS
Mr. Harding Kept Within Its Bounds
In His Marlen Speech, While He
Made Significant Allusions te
Present Controversies
MH. HAKDINCi hns discovered that there
nre restrictions en the freedom of ex
pression of the President of the I'nlted
States which de net hnmper n private
citizen.
He cannot escnpe from his official pesi
tien when he speaks In public, and It fre
quently happens thnt significance Is given
te n casual remark Intended te menu no
mere than appeared en the surface.
He evidently cbnfed under the bends en
his freedom while he was addressing his old
friends nnd neighbors In Marlen, nnd nt the
mine time lie assumed the respensibilities: of
his exalted position and spoke with dls dls
cietleti. If he had been a private citizen he doubt
less would have referred In detail te some
of the controversies new engaging attention.
Hut as the President, charged with the duty
of taking sides in the controversies nt some
time In the near or remote future, he con
tented himself with the enunciation of gen
eral principles.
Take, for example, the labor contio centio contie
versies. He mentioned neither the coal
strike nor the railroad strike, but he did
say thnt "a free American has the right
te labor without any ether man's, leave."
Ne ene dare dispute the soundness of this
preposition by any formal argument. Yet
it Is disputed by overt act In nenrly every
strike. Strikers threw up their jobs nnd
nssume thnt they still held them nnd enn
prevent any ether mnn from taking them.
Virtually nil disorder in n strike nrise.s from
the attempt of the strikers or their sympa
thizers te prevent ether men from accepting
work uiuIt the conditions of pay and hours
against which the strike has been ordered.
Mr. Harding also said that any abridg
ment of the right of men te bargain cel
lectively that Is, through Inber unions Is
as objectlennble as interference with the
freedom of an individual te work for who
ever will hire him. Here he was Insisting
en the rights of the unions te represent
their members in negotiations with their
employers.
Hut it Is worthy of note that he did net
enter into n discussion of hew the repre
sentatives should lie chosen, whether by the
members of the unions In the shops affected
or whether the general officers of the union
should represent the workers. There is acute
controversy ever this matter.
He paid Ids respects te the agitators when
he remarked that "Ihe greatest traitor Is lie
who appeals te prejudice nnd tullnmes pas
sion when sober judgment and honest speech
are se necessary te firmly establish tran
quillity and security." And he announced
that the ftevcrnment has sought te give aid
"with patience, with tolerance and with'
sympathy."
Here is the keynote of Mr. Harding's
policy ns thus far disclosed. He lias sought
te be sympathetic, tolerant and patient, net
only with the men engaged In Industrial
disputes, but with the trouble-makers in
his own party. His hope evidently Is that
by manifesting a disposition te lie fair nnd
just he can communicate the same disposi
tion te ethers. Such a hope Is net nlways
justified, however, for men inflamed by
passion hnve turned their hacks en reason
and cannot be dealt with by peaceful meas
ures. The successful executive always has pre
pared in advance for the possibilities of a
breakdown of reaen, hut he postpones the
demonstration of his indexible purpose te
enforce the laws, te protect the rights of nil
the people and te preserve order until all
ether methods hae failed. Hut the weapon
of authority always lies ready te his hand
These lutei ested III the matter can rend
between the lines of .Mr. Harding's Marien
address and find there the formulation of
the belief of the uverage American citizen.
Indeed, the gient strength of Mr. Harding
lie? in the fact that he is an nverage Ameri
can. He lias been called a typical citizen
of Main Street, a characterization which lie
would regard ns the highest praise.
We have had ether Presidents nnd ether
men in public ellice whose public nddresses
have been constructed en n mere subtle plan
than these of Mr. Harding. Hut they have
net spoken In the language of Main Street.
All that Mr. nardlng needs te de when
he wishes te knew what the level-headed
average citizen Is thinking is te examine
Lis own thoughts en any subject. He spent
Ids adult life tn a community which con
tained no very rich men nnd no very peer
men. He went In and out nmeng them and
unconsciously absorbed their point of view
The problems of Mnrlen were the problems
of every ether community en n larger or a
smaller scale, because they were the prob
lems urlslng out of the efforts of men and
women te live together in an orderly com
munity. Every successful political executive has
been a man who perceived thnt the problems
of government are at bottom problems of
human relations. Themas Jeffersen touched
the fundamentals when he said the nrt of
government was merely the art of being
honest. Of course, mere honesty is net
enough. It must be an Informed honesty,
capable of understanding the facts In a
case. AH the obtainable evidence points te
the conclusion that Mr. Harding has that
kind of honesty.

processes didn't co-ordinate with usual
swiftness nnd surety te meet the require
ments of n high-strung railway schedule ant!
nn emergency of the sort that ordinarily
would be disposed of automatically nnd easily
In the day's work. An Instant's lapse of
mind nnd the thing xvas done.
Railroading Isn't nn easy business for
anybody nowadays and especially for the
men "out front" who dally nnd nightly, in
thickening traffic, pick their ways unerringly
nteng, finding their own signals In mnzes of
lights nnd seemingly proef,ngnlnst the sllp
of judgment that trouble most people in
occupations xvhere the consequences of mi
Instnnt's error arc slight and unimportant.
It Is en the rails that life is steeped in
colors of romance nnd drama apparent te
everybody but railroaders.
Marguerite Brennnn. railroad telephone
operator for the Pennsy nt Winslow, who
conversed with the Heading's tewermnn nnd
saw Ne. 33, go te smash, appears like n
figure out of n book. "I called him en the
telephone nnd told him thnt the flier xvas
blowing for slgnnls," said Mnrgucrltc of
Ihe operator In the Heading tower. "It
wns misty nnd there was a driving rain, but
I saw the lights of Ne. 33 n mile nwny.
He thanked me nnd then the crash enmc nnd
when I went ever they were lending him
nwny nnd he wns crying."
Hew many fast tialn.s had this same
veteran tewerman seen safely pii't his slgiialy
in nil the years of his employment there?
Hew tunny times had the dead engine driver
done bis seventy-five an hour ever tii?

and both hud spetleps tecerds. The step
signal was thrown with (lie turn of the

nn instant tee late. It is possible te imagine
thnt the man In the cab of Ne. 33 bad iu
mere expectntien of n step signal nt Winslon Winslen
thnn he would hnve hed uikui his own door
steps. At nny rate we nre reminded again
of whnt nil experienced railway executives
knew nnd say that no mechanical device
invented or lmnginnble can be depended qn
te snpplnnt the human equation In the
operation nf railroad trnins.
Ne matter whnt Corener's juries nnJ

In the Inquiry Inte the Winslow wreck the
fact will remain thnt no one deliberately or
willfully ditched Ne. 33 and that the flier
met her terrible end because the factor of

COMPLIMENT FROM THE LEAGUE
SOMR of the bitterest opponents of the
League of Nations, including, notably.
Senater Ledge, labored energetically en be
half of the naval reduction treaty nnd were
filled with content when the signatures of
lh participating nntlens were affixed In
Washington.
Tlielr joy suggests thnt of the contentious
pedant en demonstrating te his own satis
faction that the "Iliad" was net written by
Hemer but by another man of the same
name.
Fer it l mere casuistry te insist thnt the
snfeguiiids of pence devised In America in
1U21 -'J2 differ in principle from these in
corporated In the Covenant of the League
framed In Paris in 1010. This implied
linnneny of spirit has new been accorded
specific and vivid form in Lord Itebcrt
Cecil's interesting proposal which has just
been presented te the Armament Commission
of the League.
As might have been expected, this dis
tinguished British statesman nnd undismayed
champion of the much-dlscussed doctrine
of International fraternity has interpreted
the Washington Conference ns a distinct in
spiration for tlie League net in the hnst
as a depressnnt. His program centnins u
plan for extending, through (he League, the
Washington accord te nil the naval Powers
of the world. A icpert en this subject Is
te be prepared hy the nnvnl sub-committee
for submission te the Assembly nt its Sep
timber meeting.
Of much wider scope, tantamount Indeed
te n new invitation te the United States te
nssume International responsibilities, is his
design of a treaty Involving mllltnry, navni
and nerial disarmament and centnlnlng what
amounts te a modification of the obligations
emphasized in tlie long. debated Article X
of the Covenant.
According te I his latest prejed n system
of tentative ratios is proposed, ench unit
i ('presenting 30,000 men. Under the pro pre
visional scheme France would have six units,
Ituly four, Poland four, firrnt Brltnln nnd
Spain three, Sweden. Nerwuy, Denmark,
Switzerland and Belgium two ench. Portu
gal one. These proportions would apply
only te home forces. Germany, Austria,
Hungary nnd Bulgaria arc pievlded for ac
cording te the drastic limitations en their
armaments, set by the Treaty of Versailles.
The contracting parties nre te reme te tnc
support of a nntien wantonly nttacked, pro
vided that nation has compiled with the dis
armament regulations. The instruments
promoting sucf?a move nre te be n permanent
military commission nnd the Council of the
League.
Prevision Is made for the voluntary ad
herence of the United States nnd ether non
League nations, with the stipulation that
Western World Governments arc exempt
from obligations concerning Kurepe. Their
ce-qperatlve sphere is te be the home terri
tory In the Pnn-Amerlcan sense. This ai
tnngement Is distinctly in line with Menree
Doctrine principles, broadly applied, nnd
meets the objections of nations of this
continent te Interference in trans-Atlantic
qunrrcR
This is an ambitious and Ingenious ac
commodation of the spirit of the League te
realities. Bitter-enders, who go by the card
nnd nre particular ubeut labels, are none
Ihe less likely te be embarrassed by se put.
pahle an extension of the message of the
Washington Conference. Thnt memorable
Congress may yet revitalize the League. The
flattery of Imitation is Implicit in the pro
posed adoption of the ratio plan, one of the
novel and conspicuously stimulating feature.
of the Five-Power Treaty.
The test of Mr. Harding's affection for
the simple life in Marlen will be met in 11)24.
Moter speeders seem te grew mero
reckless. They did hardly Hny damage ever
th week -end.
It Is becoming easy te recognize the
geed men in Germany by the course of the
assassin's bullet.
A lndy we knew desired nnxleusly te be
Informed whether the fleer walkers in the
railroad shops also had gene en strike. We
told her that we didn't Knew.
There is nothing which renders the
bigot mere unhappy than nn example of fatr
play, a fact which may account for the dis
tressed silence of anti-Japanese jingelsts
when the subject of the scrupulous con
formity of. the Mikade's Government te the
spirit of the Naval Treaty Is breached.
And, talking of the havoc wrought by
reckless motorists, will nny one ever raise
a cry against railroad Kpeeders, the deadly
cocktail mixer of, these dry days, the fiend
who dispenses lee water te children and
ether malefactors who may (be classed as
enemies of tbe general public?

"LOVE ME LOVE MY DOG"
An Intimate Little Instance of Presi
dent Harding's Leve for Children
and Dogs Hew Pasteur Con
quered the Terrors of
Hydrophobia
By GEORGE NOX McOAIN
PRESIDENT HARDING'S love for dogs
. has been exemplified several times 're
cently. Next te the Chief Executive himself, the
Airedale "Laddie Bey" is the most con
spicuous Individual nr'eund the White Heuse.
Housten Dunn tells n fine story net only
nf the President's love for dogs, but of
children tee.
It was nn experience within his own
family circle.
Seme time age Mr. Dunn took his children,
three boys, whose love for pet nnimnls is
perhaps their outstanding characteristic, te
Washington.
When the trip wns decided upon the
youngest took his pen in hnnd and wrote the
following uncensored epistle te the ?hief
Executive of the Nntien :
Dear President I am going te" Wash
ington xvltb my mother nnd my clnddy Snt
ttrdny. We will step nt Hetel Washington.
Please let me knew what time I can sec
you en Monday. NEWBOLD DUNN.
It tickled the boy te write the letter, nnd
se Dunn, Sr., let it go. Anyhow, he ar
gued the President receives hundreds of such
1 letters nnd pays no nttcntien te them.
THAT Saturday en their arrival in Wnsh
Ingtnn, te their utter surprise, n Inrgc
square envelope with lettered designs In geld
waited the visitor.
It wns addressed te Mr. Ncwbeld Dunn,
Hetel Washington, Washington, D. O.
It wns a letter, with nil. the earmarks of
official character, signed bv Mr. Christian,
secretary te the President, in which he said :
The President will receive" Mr. Newbold
Dunn nnd Ills family nt the Whlte Heuse
nt i:au aienuny nttcrnoen.
Would the boys ncccpt the Invitation?
Well rather and with ti whoop, tee.
AWE nnd wonder could net obliterate the
smiles of anticipation upon three boyish
faces that Monday afternoon.
There xx-ns n slight delay, for the Presi
dent wns in consultation.
The author of the daring epistle perched
en n chnir in the reception room nt the
White Heuse, finnlly seemed te renllze what
he had done, nnd exclaimed :
"Gee, I wish I hadn't xvrlttcn that letter
new."
The President of the United Stntes nt last
appeared, greeted the parents, and bending
ever the three boys gathered them te till -self,
talking te the lads ns only he can tnlk.
"We have an Airedale at home just like
the ene you have," said the origlnnter of the
trouble proudly.
"Is thnt se?" snfd the President with
smilingly lifted eyebrows. "I'm glnd te
hear it." Then pointing te n deer he gently
pusneu tnc neys lewaru it nnd said;
"Walk out there. Somebody wants te see
you."
They passed outside nnd wonder of
wonders, there wns famous "Laddie Bey"
held in lensh by n young darky wnitlng for
them.
It was the thoughtfulness of the President
thnt, nbeve all ether things, irr-resscd Mr.
Dunn nnd his xvlfe.
The fnet that in the midst of his vast re
sponsibilities, witli Senators xvnltlng, and
Ambassadors crax-ing audience, he would
arrange te bring joy te the henrt of a kid
xvhe, like himself, loved a deg.
SO MANY nnd varied nre the uses of n deg,
his intelligence, fidelity nnd adaptability
te training, that the question, "Has the deg
n soul?" Is by no means a new or unusual
query.
At n meeting of the Academy of Medical
Science In Nexv Yerk, some years age, the
.celebrated physlclnn, Dr. Paul Glbler, read
n paper In which he nsserted that animal;,
like men, arc endexved xvlth' souls.
"Dogs hnve souls," said Dr. Glbler.
"A deg's soul is just like a man's soul,
though it lacks some of the properties of the
human soul," he declared.
"Dogs hnve reason. They can communi
cate xvltli ench ether nnd rendlly make them
selves understood te ether dogs.
"This is n matter of everyday observa
tion." AS AN Instance of their reasoning power
xi. I will tell you something that I have
noticed myself scores of times," continued
the doctor.
"If n deg with hydrophobia appears, the
most quarrelsome and vicious deg xvlll be
come terror-stricken Instantly, no matter
hew small the mad deg mny be.
"I de net mean that dogs hnve a spirit.
I think there is a distinction betxveen the
soul nud the spirit.
"By soul I mean that the animal has the
indestructible vital principle, the principle of
life.
"I de net knew xvhether Dr. Pasteur be
lieves thnt dogs have souls or net. I de
knew that he has nlxvays been ns careful of
tbem in operating nnd making experiments
as If they were humans."
DOG days are approaching, and the name
of Pasteur Invoked by Dr. Glbler wakens
thoughts of hydrophobia.
Ah te the origin of hydrophobia, Pnsteur
declared that nobody In the world could ex
plain the primal cause.
One of his ideas, advanced in nnswer te a
question by n member of the Academy of
Sciences, was the forced disappearance of
hydrophobia from the world.
His questioner nsked whether a man cured
of hydrophobia could suffer from a second
bite. In nnswer Pnsteur stated that the
malady is transmissible only by a bite.
By a general compulsory inoculation of
dogs for several generations, he said, 'he
malady would ultimately disappear, nnd
there would be no question of danger te the
human race.
DR. LOUIS PASTEUR'S great discovery
of a cure for hydrophobia was first com
municated te the xverld In October, 188.1,
The results of his experiments were made
known te the Aendemy of Sciences In Pnrls.
The story of Pnstcur's experiments is n
new one te the present generation.
Before the Academy he described the
process of cure by means of n rabbit lnocu lnecu
lated with tissue taken from tbe spine of a
rabid deg.
The incubation of the poison occupied lif.
teen days.
As seen as the first rabbit xvas dead, n
portion of Its spinal morrow was Inoculated
Inte n second rnbbit. nnd se en until sixty of
them had been Inoculated.
Se virulent had become the poison that the
last period of incubation required only seven
days.
Pasteur discovered that exposure te dried
air diminished the strength of the virus.
He placed portions of inoculated spinal
marrexv, i.l successive dutcs, in bottles of
dried air.
Fer nn operation he inoculated his rU,.
ject xvlth the eldest tissue and finished by
Injecting a piece only two days old.
After that the subject xvas found te be
absolutely proof against the disease.
JEAN MEISTER, a twclve-year-eld boy
was Pasteur's first human subject. He
had been bitten fourteen times and It was
sixty hours before he reached Pasteur's of
fice from Alsace.
It was decided that the boy was deemed
te a terrible death, for an autopsy en the
deg disclosed hydrophobia. lue
Fer thirteen days inoculations were made
en MeUter with pieces of spinal marrow con cen
talnlng virus and of constantly Increasing
strength: the Inst being from the spm0 f a
rabbit that had died with hydrophobia only
tbe day before.
The experiment xvas a success, the boy
xvent home cured, nnd the efficacy of the
great pnysiciun s experiments was etab

Hydrophobia had been conquered 'in tbe

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS!
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They
Knew Best
DR. WESTON D. BAYLEY
On Psychical Research
THE problem of the persennl survjvnl of
bodily death has been the subject of
graet human interest In ex'ery ngc, and in
none mere than in the present one. nccerdlng
te Dr. Westen D. Bnyley. one of the trus
tees of the American Society for Psychical
Iiespflrch.
"The immertnlity of the soul constitutes
the basic principle of innumernble thee o e
gles," snld Dr. Bnyley. "It is the founda
tion of the optimistic systems of philosophy ;
great poets have accepted It as the theme for
their lvrlc inspiratiens: lenrned churchmen
hnve dogmatically proclaimed it as a verity
and some of the grentcst scientific minds
have gravely pondered ever It as en un
solved psychological problem.
" 'If a man die, shall he live again?' has
been n burning question alike with the studi
ous thinker nnd the mnn of the street who
commonly accepts most of his thinking nt
second hand. All who have mourned the less
of loved ones have yearned for n restive
solution of the mystery of life nnd death.
With many the mere asseverations of some
particular form of religious belief or the
exnlted convictions of poet nnd philosopher
are nil sufficient; yet from the numerous
pathetic letters I have received nnd inter
views granted during busy hours of profes
sional work, it is certain that there- are
many who accept the solace of religion
acndemienlly, ns it xverc, but when it comes
te personal harrowing less they are net
fully consoled, much less convinced, and
yearn for mere concrete evidence of the sur
vival of their beloved dead.
What Mind Really Is
"The history of modern theology and
ether considerations equnlly cogent lift the
problem of life nnd mind out of theological
hands and place it xvhere it properly be
longs, in the psychological laboratory. Mind
Is cither the product of nn Intricate chemi
cal activity in the cells of the brain or else
it is a seporete and distinct entity xvhlch
merely utilizes the physical organism during
the "material conditions of this life. Ac
cording te ene view, xve may speak of the
brain as hnvlng n productive function; ac
cording te the ether a trnnsmlsslve function.
If mind is produced by the brain ns bile is
produced by the liver, then the conceptef
human survival Is indeed a sorry delusion.
"On tlie ether hand, if mind is a distinct
psychological entity, merely utilizing the
brain as an organ for Its earthly expression,
then It mny be possible for this personality
te survive bodily death, nnd furthermore
(for all xve knexv). this surviving personality
may be able (under rare and unusual con
ditions) te manifest Itself nnd even te give
satisfactory proofs of such continued exist
ence. "Whether or net evidence of such sur-x-lval
is actually lu our possession ut the
present time is net u question te be settled
by mere Ipse dixit medical, theological or
otherwise. Ne matter hew proficient ene
inuy be In some ether department of knowl
edge. If he Is net entirely familiar with the
problems and accomplishments of psychical
research his opinions concerning survival arc
of no value. Quite recently at a meeting of
a medical society several of our most tal
ented neurologists discussed and settled ull
of the problems of se-called spiritualism
with n vigor which revealed amazingly their
total ignorance of the xvhele literature of
psychological research. It is, indeed, hard
te say xvhlch Is the greater offender, the un
critical eplrltunllbt who sxvallews nil alleged
phenomena xvlth sublime credulity or the
learned scientist who, with a magnificent
wave of his hand, dismisses the whole sub
ject as unworthy of serious attention.
Many "Magic" Cults
"In all ages of the pest and among nil
peoples there have been many instances of
alleged supernormal or unusual happenings
which have led te innumerable 'magic' cults
The Society for Psychical Research has no
preliminary beliefs or preconceptions xvhat
ever. ,It has simply called attention te the
fact that there Tinye always been accounts
of mysterious and unceinDrehendeH i,,...
penlngs which are and havebeen believed
In as realities in spite of the 'commen-seme-

telllgent and reputable witnesses (often cor
roborated by several such) tends te shexv
that these same happenings appear te be
relatively common, even in the critical pres
ent ; nnd, furthermore, thnt very definite
beliefs arc entertained In some quarters
(e. g., the spiritualists) concerning these
phenomena.
"It has pointed out thnt there is a strik
ing similarity in the nature of these alleged
manifestations among people xvidcly sepa
rated by time, space and degree of educa
tion ; It has xviselv cautioned ngainst the
danger nnd worthlessness of prccencelx'ed
opinions either In the xvny of bias for or
prejudice against these allegations; it has
insisted that if upon examination these
clnims hnve no foundation in fnct, even the
psychology of such persistent fallacies is
xyerth the study. If, en the ether hand,
there be an element of truth underlying this
great mass of allegation, this constitutes a
fact of nature nnd as such places claim
xvlth us te be observed, investigated and
studied.
Appeals te Scientists
"With this series of prepositions psy
chical research has appealed te experts in
scientific methods te gather nnd examine the
alleged facts and in time te pass judgment
upon them. There has nexv been forty vears
of work in this complex field; much has been
accomplished, but the end is net Vet. The
impntlcnt may consider this slew, but we
did net have wireless forty years after
t rnnklin labored ever his Influence machine
nor trolley cars forty years after Faraday
xveund his first cell of wire.
"Furthermore, psychical research is in
no wise bound te produce nny predetermined
results. It did net start xvlth the intention of
'proving' anything; It has been unalterably
committed te a method, and that method is
the scientific one of careful record, impor imper
tlal qbservat en, comparison nnd fhterpre fhterpre
tntleu of this mass of psychological phe
nomena which was completely outside the
pale of M established and orthodox depart
ments of science. ' '
