And ihis great ability in organization ana constructive force Ls to be eiven full and free Dlay. and he is to have the unstinted, unjealous cooperation of President Harding and all the other members of the Cabinet . And 'there is to be team work all down the line. And we are to have a new tariff law, next month, or the following month; framed with the idea of giving protec tion to American capital and industries andt labor, ihe Dm for this law is now being framed, after long weeks of hear ings bythe House Ways and Means Committee, of which our Congressman Hawley is a member, and a very lnfluentia member. I The ! United - States Supreme Court yesterday handed down, a decision givmg the stamp of irrevocable approva to the land credit act; so that the land credit banks wil hereafter function, without the shadow of danger from the three-ball financiers and the corsairs of thesea of credits. And the country is about through with , the shaking-out process and business is about down to brass tacks and back to first principles. , .v .. v In short, all sails are trimmed, all useless ballast has been thrown out oris about to be sent overboard, and the country is well along the road back to normalcy, and the ship of commerce is about . ready for a voyage of great progress and. prosperity . . : And, full steam will soon be on. : It isi going to be the greatest period of development and progress .along airlines of useful and fruitful endeavor in the history of the country - ( And the great strength and leadershiD of the United States will reflect itself upon the whole wide world not by pulling our people down to the level of the less progressive nations, but by helping them to gradually lift themselves up towards the level of this greatest of the nations of this age or any age. - .. . Hundreds of millions of dollars in farm loans will now be released,1 on account of the favorable decision of the United States Supreme Court yesterday; so it is announced by the heads of the land credit banks. These hundreds of mil lions will come into use at a time when they are sorely need edIn.the agricultural development of the country and on this development every other development depends, directly or indirectly. The weath of agriculture is the foundation . weaitn or any country. Once again arises the contro-1 versial point as to whether gifts made to the president and his wife from other nations are the personal property of the recipi ents, or are made to the nation through Its chief executive to be tn Joyed by all his successors. President and -Mrs.: Wilson re ceived fnany such gifts during their famous trip to Europe, in cluding a rare and valuable Gobe lin tapestry presented by the French government. The collec tion is said to include exceptional objects d'art, curios, precious china, furniture, pictures, etc.. which . Mrs. Wilson is preparing to remove to her Tuture home. Mrs. Wilson Is understood to have declared they are positirely hers and that the Gobelin in particular was presented to her as Mrs. Wil son and not as first lady of Am erica. But there Is ample opln ion that the treasure should re main at the White House. The controversy recalls the oc caslon when Queen Victoria pre sented some fine old engravings to Miss Harriet Lane after Pres ident Buchanan had entertained the Prince of Wales. Congress refused to permit her to remove them and they, adorn the White House to this day. But such controversies are rather petty. Some definite rule should be laid down on the sub ject once and for all. Otherwise It will become necessary for for eign donors to be asked to spec! fy exactly in what capacity they are lavishing their generosity upon American governmental of ficlals. "Excuse me, old dears but do you love me for myself alone or strictly because I hap pen to be holding an influential ob? Is this mine, or am I just allowed to hold It!" Which recalls the fact that the ex-kalser gave Lord Haldane of England a piquant little statuette and Lord Tweedmouth,, then of the British admiralty, an affec tionately autographed picture of himself. In neither case did par liament demand a relinquishment of the valuable spoils but both Haldane and Tweedmouth found the gifts peculiarly embarrassing in the light of later events. Hal dane. it will be remembered, was then influential in army reorgan ization and publicly expressed his belief in the .good-faith of Ger many. Tweedmouth was equally thoughtful in disregarding Ger many's secret naval program. Both gentlemen lived to wish they had regarded those tender little gifts as impersonal and handed them over to the British museum for noncontrcversiaTTpbs- seesion. department in this field.

But the center of gravity is still in Ohio. ? , The actual center of population of the-United States, ac cording to experts from Indiana university, is -in "Uncle Jimmie'i Herrin's hilly 40-acre farm, either in the Jiog lot or the cornfield."

The communica tion making Recht temporary "ambassador of the. soviet gov ernment was read by Mr. Palmer to the senate judiciary committee in Washington. Herman Finck. the not"d Kns llsh composer, tells the following amusing story of a somewhat am bitious attempt of a member of the nwly rich to grasp matters musical. He said: "My grandfather used to direct a small orchestra of about half a dozen, which could be hlreo. for dances, parties and weddings, and even (on one occasion only) or funerals, but that's another yarn. Well, the orchestra one night inadt its appearance at the house of the type of parvenu we should call nowdays a war profiteer. The guests were assembled, and the fiddlers and bo on were crowded up in the usual corner with the ferns and things. . Suddenly the host i approached. ! " 'Whatever's this hoirible noise you're making?" he said. Rotten piece. I call it!" " 'This Isn't a piece," my grand father replied; "we're tuning up. that's all. "" Tuning up?

' It will not matter much what President Wilson doe to the em ergency tariff bill, which is, now in us nands. The permanent bill Is now being framed, and it twill be a law in April or May. In the meantime. In case President Wilson vetoes the emergency bill. it can either be passed over his veto, or re-enacted at the special session, or the Payne-AIdrfch bill oitcu as an emergency meas ure, as advocated by the Ameri can Tariff League. Any way, the days of the Underwood free trad law are Kiowinr verv hrt Anri the country takes hope. The federal farm loan banks may now go ahead with their business. The United States su preme court yesterday held the law of congress under which they were operating to be constitution al. The case has been in that court for many months, in its original form and tn rehearing, and during all this time the land credit banks have been held up and hampered and enable to make new loans, even on applications that had been approved. This de cision' will result' in great " good With Its own affairs still a long way from being, settled, Europe is about to try to decide what it chall do about Turkey, which Is proving indigestible. A confer ence Is to be held In London with in a few days to discuss the prob lems of the Near East, which In eludes what's left of Turkey in Europe as well as Asia Minor Arabia and Persia. Questions bristling with difficulties will come before the gathering of statesmen and it is expected that the famous Turkish leader. Mus tapha Kemal. will attend. As he Is looked upon by the allies in the light of a rebel, it is explained in London cablegrams that the British cannot recognize him offi cially. Seeing that the leader of the young Turks is . the chief ac tor in the Near Eastern drama, this is a species of humor which even the British can enjoy, even in these sad days. One of the main points to be considered at the conference will be the treaty of Sevres, which rends Turkey. Mustapha Kernel declares that this treaty banishes Turkey's po litical, jurisdictional., economic and financial Independence. Thia is a tall statement, made with out strict regard for the truth. Nevertheless, the treaty is eo se vere in us terms mat it, com bined with the ever-present Ar menian question, has driven the Turkish Nationalists into the arms of the"Bolsbevikl.
