MUST THE PRESENT CONGRESS BE CLUBBED INTO SENSIBILITY? The Failure of Mr. Harding's Patient Tactics Suggests That Rough Treat ment Is the Only Remedy TTIinHTINf! v.erds, or phrases Indicative of jangled nerve nnd lnerdlnntely tried temper, are net discoverable In Mr, Hard ing's acknowledgment thnt present condi tions in Congress nre unfavorable te nctlen upon one of his cherished measures, the Ship-Subsidy Kill. As n specimen of self restraint and deliberately assumed poise, the President's letter te Keprcsentntlve Mendell, conceding the advisability of delay, is noteworthy. The President, however. Is net the com plete stoic, a fact for which the public, with an alleged taste for "humanized" Chief r.xecutives, should presumably be grateful. Mr. Harding indeed mnkes no secret of his dls-appelntment ever the obstacles te his favorite program. If there Is scant belligerency In his letter no effort i made te disguise the note of genuine regret. It Is, In fact, u porrewful missive, pathetic testimony te the futility of entertaining In this country a theory and a philosophy of government nt variance with eeme ugly facts. It Is well known thnt Mr. Harding en tered office with the preconceived Inten tion te refrain from quarreling with Con gress. His conception of government nml cably administered, of co-operation between the executive and legislative branches and of the restoration of n kind of goodfellow geodfellow goedfellow ship In politics, was originally welcomed as n relief from the tempests of the Koosevelt Keosevelt Koesevelt lan and Wilsenian dna"tles. The new President nourished an Ideal through which tact was te have been mere effective than bludgeoning, nnd accommoda tion of interests was te have replaced brutal one-sided pressure. Tl" conception was creditable te Mr. Harding's personal character and scrupu lously in line with constitutional precepts. There is, moreover, little doubt that the public would have rejeii ed in the spectacle of n Congress working constructively with the C'hlef Magistrate nnd moved by his kind word" and friendly admonitions.

Ri.'. whl'h, evn after its pas iaje. !s wl'hesit definite form,, and the bonus r;8S-.r, wh.rt. "irh its contempt for the sir.' is' prcb.e.-cs involved, is a monstrous delusion. Mr Harding auredly knows that con cen con greier.i! ficise for side-tracking the Sv.'p-l Subsidy Kill hre fallacious It Is net pressure, of legislation which has produced the impasse, but the desire of backwoods 'erigres.smen and Senators te avoid Imagined offense te inland constituents ignorant of the vital Importance of the measure and of I significant value te the country as a whole. The regained maritime prestige of the I'nited States is imperiled by procrastina tion, destined, unless overcome, te nullify the most magnificent opportunity for re covery in the unnals of the country. Kut omens of Impending disaster and chaos In the commercial fleet situation are uieantneless te political charlatans bent upon supporting the flimsy tower of delusion until Klectlen Dnv. The President in his letter hopes for action in the short session, nnd accepts the dismal present in the expectation of a brighter future. Kut what guarantee of reform can be sighted actually? Mr. Harding has re frained from chnstislng Congress, nnd his reward is precisely that of teachers who have adopted the policy of moral suasion with vicious pupils. Congress, though It may splutter and howl, understands the red. Koesevelt and Wilsen taught them something of its mennlng. There are, in truth, Increasing evidences, lamentable, though they are, that the press ing business of the Kcpubllc cannot be con ducted without recourse te a dictatorship theoretically unconstitutional, if you will exercised by the Chief Incentive. It was this pass te which the Reman republic came In the anarchic days pre ceding the ascendancy of Julius Cuesar. The transition te imperialism was net ad mitted by the public until Diecletian threw off all pietense of democratic government. Three hundred jenrs before that event the change had come, Induced by the Incapac ity and malign obstructionism the Ben ate and the Cemltla. An American empire with the trappings of despotism, however efficient, Is net a prospect calculated te gladden the hearts of persons who may recall the principles upon which this Nutlen was founded. Mr. Harding is among such individuals, and It Is natural that he should be pained und hurt bv repudiation of his policies and the flouting of his conscientious purposes. At bottom, of course, the drift toward an Augustus cannot be nscrlbnl exclusively te the unties of Congress. H is the body of cltiens themselves thnt primarily is re sponsible for the bandar-leg In Washing ton and has provoked the growing necessity for application of the big stick, Mr, Harding lit loath te use this weapon, which Infuriated Its victims when tome of his predecessors struck savage blows. It Is the Pfesldent'H misfortune that he has conceived n higher type of republican Institutions In this country than these which actually exist. He Is dangerously, if honorably, close te becoming a martyr te an Ideal. DIRECTOR AND MAGISTRATES TlUi:cTOK COKTKhYOr, arguing be--' fore the Hetnry Club for higher ball In criminal cases nnd less tolerance In magis trates' courts for prisoners chnrged with really serious crimes, wns talking what any geed section hand of the demlnntit political machine would call treason te his party nnd rank disloyalty te the tievernment of the United States. De net the wise men nt the top of the Organization always say that The Reys must be treated gently, even when they get themselves Inte trouble, in order that the power of the ward boss may be long In the land? And If jeti weaken the Organization, don't j en weaken the Party? Diiccter forte en ought te be mere cau tious in his public utterances. Fer If bail i made higher for dope )eddlers and stick-up men nnd burglnrs end thieves nnd gamblers and the promoters of vice, the magistrates will no longer be nblei te exercise the power of caliphs in their districts nnd, of ceure, they will net be nblc te held voters together in nwed crowds against the days of gang elections. What will then become of the foundations upon which the vast system of ward politics Is triumphantly founded? It Is true, of course, that organized vice nnd clime and ward politics have the same roots. Viewed from n strictly academic point of view, it sometimes seems thnt courts ami juries ought te be permitted te deal intelligently nnd sternly with felons if the present order of society is te continue. Kut the practical man in politics, with little respect for the academician, would pooh pooh that belief and prove In no time that Mr. Cortel.veu ought te be reprimanded. If the machines nre te live, magistrates must live. And magistrates cannot live In the style te which they nre accustomed unlesn they nre permitted te sell fnvers and deal out or withheld punishment for n price. Reform the system under which magis trates held sway In the wards and you will deprive the political machinists of bread nnd butter and bribe money. Kut, merely te improve the stnte of society, te punish felons and te repair the injured dlgnlt of the courts, would you meddle dangerously with the foundations of the Republic. ' Would ou interfere cruelly with the well being of the boys who turn in the majorities en election day-? Let us by nil means btlck te what gangmen call normalcy protected rime nnd freedom for criminals with political pull and nil that sort of thing. SEX EQUALITY "T FHF.I, sure," says Mrs. Henry O. -- Ilavemeyer, "thnt we will yet win man ever te thnt point where he will really treat us as an equal." "Kut is it really equality?" queried the Yeung I.ndy Next Doer Rut One, "If It has te be wen with fine words?" Mr. Rena Sltke, of Les Angeles, suing for divorce, says her husband ducked her head in' Eenpy water te mnke her say the moon was made of green cheese; net that he believed it wns made of green cheese, but that she must believe It Is made of green cheese if her husband se avers nnd desires. Se Kutherlne hales Petruchie Inte the divorce court. Jane Addama gays women de net scold "except when men who don't understand them refuse te give them what they are en titled te." "Kut what." Petruchie demands, "are they entitled te beside love nnd affection?" And Katherine, the modern Katherlnc, promptly answers "Alimony!" Kut that doesn't eeem te be sex equality, cither.

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT Mrs. Warburton Nails a Canard and Explains the Plan of the Repub Mean Women of Pennsylvania te Finance a Campaign Ily SAKAII I). LOWRIE IF TIinRM Is one thing I nm surer of than another, It Is that n question hurled nt me In the morning, which I nm utterly unable te answer, will be nnswered none the less nnd In the most satisfactory way possible by nightfall. It Is one of life's "habitual suirprlses!" 1 bad n letter from a very conscientious objector te most things handed te me by a friend with tills sentence In it: "What does Mrs. Warburton mean by her S1000 bribing of the women voters? Dees she think she can carry the women who stand for n free choice, without coercion at the polls, by such methods?" Well, the thing was an entire enigma te me! I had missed three days of the Phila delphia papers, having te be content with the world news through the fractional viewpoint of n New Yerk City local. 'What indeed could Mrs. Warburton mean thnt could have been se garbled? The only thing I wns sure of was that she had net meant an.v thing thnt bore the faintest re semblance te btlbery. or te coercion. I was as sure of that ns 'any of the ward politi cians of mv native town have grim reason te be. Kut ns te what some lgnnrant nnd perhaps ever-cxcltnble political lady thinker hail commented en whnt she believed Mrs. Wnrburten hud said that was another matter! ALL the back Issues of the Philadelphia papers bad gene te light the numerous fires this cold wave hn Involved up here In the North Weeds. There was no one In sight who had been in Philndelphla recently! I forget mv habitual gend luck of getting nn explanation out of the Everywhere Inte the Here, nnd I wns guessing what te de next, when In the most nwful deluge of the entire season, when every leaf poured n torrent, and the golden glow nnd the phlev were mixed In one drench of moisture, nt that moment some one an id: "Helle, where arc you?" And In walked Mrs. Warburton! She was metering In the Adirondack and stepned in te "laugh along with me" for a brief moment. NnMirnllv when we get settled for a talk I nsked her about that "?1000 bribe" and In fact gave her the anxious politician's feminine gender letter te read. She gave a little sigh nnd stepped laugh ing, shook her head doubtfully before em barking, nnd then said: "Oh. vluit is the ue!" However, in the end I get from her whnt bad actually been said through the publicity department of her office after n slewlv mn tured plan that had been passed upon by the powers flint he. in the State and the National Republican Councils. THE coming election. It had been decided, wns the time te recruit the women of this State Inte Republican organizations along local and unofficial lines. This i pnrtly being done by the organisatien forces nl remit in existence in what is known ns "machine committees": it Is nle being done by clubs that are offshoots of the In dependent Republic'in bodies, notably b.t such n markedly Influential one ns the Republican Women of Philadelphia, of which Mrs. Lerlmer and Mrs. Klnnkenliurs. Mrs. Dunning, etc., are leaders; and lastly it is being done bv certain women heie nnd there who were appointees of the (Inventor during the first year tl e women In the State had the vote, and who while no longer members of nny State or County Republican Committee nre in positions of Influence in their particular localities, at least ns leaders of factions within the party. New there are no funds nt the disposal of the State headquarters or of these unofficial Republicans for n force of expert orgen-li'iT-i who will enroll these var.ving elements of the Republican Pnrtv into some sort of an adjustable force for the coming election. Yet it Is important for these backing the candidates, from the ('overnnr nnd the Sen ntnrs te the county representatives, te have some reliable data as te the way the women nre going te stand back of the party candi dates at the fall election.. The women who voted for Alter and there were an appreci able number in Mime of the counties, espe cially Allegheny Count, where the League of Women Voters Is strene nnd where some of its leaders were franklv for hlin hew they were going te jtand by the choice of their party as n whole was the question. OF COURSE, a great deal of money could have been collected nnd spent te make n campaign fiem headquarters with these Alter voters te stand by their party In spite of the fact thnt Plncbet and net Alter wns the party candidate, but It was thought better te have the work for this propaganda for fair-mindedness come from the local leaders in any of the abeve mentioned groups. And In order te insure these local leaders who would have te spend money for such propaganda as suited the local needs, letters, meetings, spenkers, etc., it wns decided that where nny woman had shown herself able te collect a beciv of Republican women who were willing te back the ticket, ine spectlvn of their pretieus primary vote for Alter nnd the machine candidates who had gene down In defeat, her legitimate ex penses as tin organizer should be paid. If there were no ether funds nvutluble then li) n fund from headquarters collected by e general subscription. Kut, of course, thice reimbursements for money expended would naturilllv have te be Kept down te a minimum, probably net leis, say, then Se, and it wns devoutly te be hoped net greater than ?100 in an.v case. Ne sum of money, however, was stated, Mrs Warburton ex plained, nor were the plans for the local leaders, innchlne or Independent or other wise, enough formulated te be put cm paper. The idea was given out by the publicity department te get a reaction from the vnrleus types of lenders. Roferc they could answer, however, the Dcmecrnticv candidate for Governer took up n strange inversion -almost an abortion of the tentative plan nnd made cnmpnlgn poison out of it te suit his very apparent needs. Later some of the women who are politically minded, without being affiliated with either ptnty, took It up lu attack it from a mistnken premise thnt prizes were te be efTereil for votes Instead of campnlsn expenses essured for party organization. MRS. AVARKURTON was net apparently exercised nt the "side, wipes" that were being made nt her own gene sense, but she was troubled flint the attempt, that Is appaient In some quarters of the machine, te confuse the victerv gnltieil at the primary bv splitting the party vole al the big ejec tion, should be bneked by some of the so se called high-brews and the conscentieuH vnteis, who, under the guise of voting fur whom they please next nutiimn, irrespec tive of the party mnierity for Pinehet, etc., will weaken the whole lessen of the defeat of last spring. Ot course, the machine politicians would like te de nway with the primary altogether and go back te the old iiefarleiiHlj manage able way of placing their pnrtv candidates en the ticket. Mrs. Warburton is fighting with all her strength for a fuir priinnrt, ami for nil the voters te turn out then and make their choice. As long as party nilc Is our wn) of governing this country, then party rule must be enforced, once the primmv .ns settled the quest inn who nre te be the party candidates, is her be'lrf; just as tirv leg. Icall', as n citi.en of the United State., she would back the successful candidate, for President Republic tin or lienncrat once lie was elected. She may have a nariow nariew gauge mind te be se logical, but thnt is her, mind evidently. Se she was troubled by tin. false accusations ngalnst her geed sense, ijTt because they were ngalnst her personally, but because te her thinking they were siunku clouds thrown up by mischief-makers tu bide the very real and clear lBsue. tfl; ' 4 l" i w ! r ..! jir.t M V J$ rtllt V NOW MY IDEA IS THIS!

BLITHE On the Children's Country Week ONE of the principal objects of the Chil dren's Country Week Association is te inculcate into the children n higher standard of living nnd 10 develop them mentally ns far as can be done, nnd it Is surprising te what an extent this Is possible in the short time that the little ones nn- under the bene ficial Influences of the organization, says Mrs. Wesley L. K'.lthc, president of the association. 'The actual beginnings of whnt is new the Children's Country Week Association, said Mrs. Klithe, "were in 1ST,". At that lime Mrs. Eliza Turner, afterward presi dent of the New Century Club, conceived the idea of taking for a visit of a week ut her summer home nt Ch:idd Ierd two ve children who would net otherwise be able te have nnv vacation nway fiem the city. "We have become se accustomed te having children taken away during the Mimmer for periods of rest In the country without their pnrents. thnt It seems hard te under stand at this time thnt Mrs. Turner had some difficulty in finding children te enjoy her hospitality.

Increase and Growth "The work increased rapidly In extent, nnd as it Incrensed the methods chnnged somewhat, although the fundamental Idea of riving children a much-needed rest nnd roc-n-at Ien has remained the same from the first davs of the organization. Miss Jennlseti, who took se active a part In finding one-half of the lirst twelve children te go out, was one of the first presidents, and Miss Lvnns was treasurer. Later as Mrs. Aetzel. the latter became president nnd held thut posi tion until her death in October of 1020, when I succeeded her. "In the early days of the association we were dependent entirely upon Inventions from persons who had homes in the country and "who were willing te tnke children for varvlug periods ns their guests. Later we changed from the invitation system te thnt of bearding, that is, we paid the beard of such cblldien as we were able te from funds ralscsl bj the iite-neliillnn, the children being bearded chiefly by farmers' families who were willing te de this. "We carefully s-upervlsed the visits of the children nnd. watched te see that they did net come Inte contact with any had influ ences, although, of course, nil farms wcre carefullv investigated first, and that they were receiving the greatest (imniint of geed from their visits. At that time we paid Js'' r,0 a week for the beard of each child, and the stay of each child In the country was one week, ns ut'der previous conditions. Length of Visit Doubled "About three years nge It was decided that the stay of each child should be two weeks Instead of one, as it was felt thnt one week was tee short n time for n child te get the required amount of benefit. Of course, we cannot send into the country all the children who need it. nor nil whom we would like te senil, and therefere it becomes te a certain extent a mntter of selection of these who need it the most. Kut even with thcie conditions we decided that it was for the better te send one child for two weeks rather tliMwe cunurcn ier one ween ea,en. whldrhave been uttalned In the Tne rci -0 . .""

"The work has stendllv Increased through the years, and our hlgh-wnter mark was reached when we sent nwny mere thnn fiOOO children In a single summer, using for this purpose forty-five different bearding places. "The passing of the years has seen net only the enlargement, but also the better ment of the work in many wuys. We new have six houses of our own which we use every summer, nnd put the remainder of the children in vnrleus bearding places, nil of which we knew te be excellent. Twe of these places are at the seashore, where we send mothers and children for whom the sea nir has been recommended. Finding the Children "The children whom we select each sum mer come te us from the vaiieus social service agencies which nre working nil the cnr round with children nnd who knew the conditions among them better thnn any one else in the city. We ill se get names from Sunday-school teachers, from the pas tors of churches, from Individuals who send them te us and from the children them selves in some instances. Seme of them come te us iiml register themselves. All cases nre thoroughly investigated except these recom mended by the secinl service workers, whose assertions we take as sufficient. "We new send out about '"t children n week, each of whom has two weeks In the country. Where the beard of n child for a week was formerly $.,ri0, It is new $7..r-0, and this, of course, makes n difference In the number we can send. We have also added n counselor for every group of twenty children, no mutter whether they are nt one of our own homes or en a farm being bearded. "This counselor plan hns been n develop ment of the work, and by means of them we nre able te glte supervision such ns the systematizing of meals, games, see that regular rest hours nre observed, looking te the Improvement of the manners and te the mental and moral growth of the children as well as their physical progress. The coun ceun coun scler write u report weekly, end in the cese of an.v tiling unusual developing with uny of the children, thnt child Is immediately returned te the family or transferred te that special organized society which Is best fitted te supply Its needs. Mothers Alse Frevlilcd Fer "We are also able under the present con ditions of the nssocintlen te take enre of n certein number of mothers, letting their children accompany them, nnd this Is one of tlie most useful and best-appreciated works of the organlzntien. On Paradise Farm we have really two operations. One of these is a house built by the Inte Charles W. Kelb and endowed by hlinsvith n sum sufficient for Its maintenance. In this building the mothers nnd their little children are housed. The ether operation heie is a camp for boys, Camp Weilzel, and this is en u hill oppo eppo oppe site, "The only requirement for the children te go nway Is that they have no ether mentis of getting out of the city for n while during the bummer. If Investigation shows that this is the case, we consider them as our lenses. Every child is examined by u phy. slclnn for contagious disease before being iifcepted, and there is also a pit slclnn at the train te mnke a second last-minute ex amination te see that no contagion- disease has developed since the first examination Special attention In this last examination is made te the nesc. threat mid the possible presence of tubercular feigns. "The children whom we accept are boys nnd girls from six te twelve years of arc and there nre no conditions as te race color' nationality or religion. Children under hx vears of age nre Inken with their luntheis We hnd been wending fifty n week, but saw thnt we should net be nble te get tlireuch with our work, and se sent sixty. five a week for the lust few weeks.
