I THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS I N his inaugural address President Harding said some splen ; did things. He is a good speaker and a good writer and he enters the white house in a spirit of service that cannot be questioned. He desires to be a good president, to have the na tion prosper and to be a force for peace and harmony through out the world. It is a laudable ambition and in that ambition the world will wish him well. , . "N'o one justly may deny the equality of opportunity which made us what w , e nae rmstaRen, unpreparedness to embrace it to be a challenge! u reatity, ana aue concern for making all citizens fit for participation will a" a aauea strengtn of citizenship and magnify our achievements. u revolution insists upon our overturning established order, let other jn-uuies mane tne tragic experiment. There is no place for it in America." ' ; What he says is true. Let those who want revolution turn to . Kussia or to South Dakota. They have it aplenty. At the same time tne antidote for revolution is not to be had from the ultra conservatives. It must come from intelligent nrofrrpssivism The stream must be kept open so that the channel will not be obstructed. To hold back the waters too long means an inevit- aoie Drean as czansm in Kussia proved. "Our best assurance lies in efficient administration of our cnosen system," says the president. Yet our "chosen system" is not a fixed affair. It is constantly being modified to meet new conditions and requirements. The ox cart days are gone and there are some ox cart methods in government and business that must eventually go. We should not so too fast, nor vet too slow The new president will not be too radical, we can count upon mat. yv newer ne win prove too much of a standpatter remains to be .seen. On the subject of the League of Nations the president talks as ne aw during tne campaign last year. He takes a pro nounced stand in favor of a world court and favors an associa tion of nations for conference but he fights from the league cdyenant on the ground it would impair the nation's sovereign ty! He speaks of a "world super government" and of a "mili tary alliance." Needless to say this view of the league is not held by the league champions in this country or abroad. They assert the covenant would infringe on no country's sovereignty or independence of action. They will claim that the covenant as it stands will meet the Harding specifications. ! It is wot clear whether President Harding will seek an arfiended league covenant or will insist that this country go no farther than to cooperate in the formation of a court. If he is lor a court &ndn court only the test will come in securing the assent os oiner nations to mat view 01 atiairs. will a war stricken world feel that a court without force behind it can serve as a guarantee of peace. Will France put faith in a court to de fend her against a possible revengeful Germany? Will Poland jmd Rumania feel that a world court can assure against aggres sion on the part of Soviet Russia? Can a world court bring about Disarmament and security? Possibly, but it must be admitted the Hague tribunal was not very effective in stopping the kaiser's horde in 19f4.- There is an ambiguity about the president's position and it may be some time before it is cleared up. His inaugural talk squares with his platform and with his campaign speeches, but he has Hughes and Hoover in his cabinet and these names ap peal strongly to people who believe in a forward looking policy. Are they there to guide the president or were they named to appease a certain element of the public? Time will tell. The record of the Harding administration is yet to be written and the. president will do much of the writing thereof. That he will do his utmost for true service to the country cannot be doubted. Let it be hoped he has the vision that the position calls for and that the politicians will give him a chance to do his best. ' PENALIZING THEMSELVES AND EVERYBODY ELSE ! tin I N allowing the telephone company to make a further heavy advance in rates at a time when prices are falling and all are asked to take their losses and get upon a readjusted basis, the public service commission made a blunder. It is a Llunder that is likely to be as expensive to the phone company as to the public. The railroads have learned to their sorrow that r ate ad vances do not necessarily mean more profits. The new rates Itave stifled business and the roads are making less money than formerly. . The phone company may face the same experience. 4 Tele " hone and telegraph charges are now far above the pre war basis. It costs a small fortune to phone or wire a message from Pendleton to Portland or any other distant point. The only re course is for people to use the wires as little as possibfe. This they will do and many who can dispense with phones, in their homes will do so. Instead of seeking higher rate's the telephone Company fhould retrench by providing improved equipment that would reduce costs. In that way the company could have increased its volume of business. The result of the rate advance will be to curtail business. . In allowing the phone rate advance the public service com mission has acted in characteristic fashion. The chief business of the commission for some years past has been to grant rate in creases. From a public standpoint the commission is about as vi-luable as a tallow dog in August. Some stronger men should le chosen for the commission or it should be abolished. The new president has a hard Jobjbut he is a jnaji of rugged jihysique and he has a noble wife to encourage him; he should be able to stand the strain for a time at least. adherence to the things which made us what we aro. lonay, better than ever before, we know the aspirations of human kind and share them. We have come, to a new realization of our .place' In the woria and a new appraisal of our na tion by the world. The unselfishness of these United Mates is a thing prov ed, our devotion to peace for ourselves and for the world is well established, our concern for preserved civilization baa had its Impassioned and heroic expression. There was no American failure to resist the attempted rever sion of civilization, there will be no failure today or tomorrow. Ijewt on Popular Will "The success of our popular govern ment rests whollv uunti the correct interpretation of (he deliberate, Intel ligent, dependable popular W ill of Am erica, in deliberate questioning 6f n suggested change" of national policy where InternaticBiality was to super- nede nationality, we tnrned to a ref erendum to the- American people. There was ample discussion and there is a public mandate in manifest under standing. .. - America Is ready to encourage, eag er to (nitrate, anxious to participate in any seemly program likely to lessen tho probability of war, and promote hat brotherhood of mankind whluh must )e God's highest conception of human relationship. Because we cher ish Ideals of justice and peace, because we appraise InternaUonat comity and helpful relationship no less highly han any people of the world, we as pire to a high place In the moral lead- rshlp of civilization, and we hold a maintained America, the proven re public, the unshaken temple or" repre sentative democracy, to be not only an inspiration and example but the high est agency of strengthening good will nd promoting accord on both con- nents. Mankind needs a world-wide benediction of understanding. It Is eeded among individuals, among peo ples, among governments,' and It will Inaugurate an era of good feeling to mark the birth of a new order. In such understanding men will strive confidently for the promotion of their better relationships and nations "will promote the comities so essential to peace. Trade Ties Btnd Crosc(y We. must understand that ties of trade 'bind nations in closest Intimacy and none may receive except as he gives. We have not strengthened our in accordance with our resources cr ojr genius, notably on our own con tinent, where a galaxy of republics re flect the glory of new world democ. racy, but in the new order of finance and trade we mean to promote enlarg ed activities and seek expanded con fidence. "Perhaps we can make no more help ful contribution by example than prove a republic's capacity to emerge from the wreckage of war. While the world's embittered travail did not kave us devastated lands nor desolated cities, left no graping wounds, 'no breast with hate, it did involve us in the delirium of expenditure, In ex panded currency and credits, in un balanced industry, in unspeakable Waste and disturbed relationships. While it uncovered our portion ; of hateful selfishness at home, It- also revealed the heart of America as sound and fearless and beating in confidence unfailing. "Amid it all we have rlvited the gaze of all civilization to the unselfishness and tho righteousness of representa tive democracy, where our freedom never has made offensive warfaro, never has sought territorial' aggran dizement through force, never has turned to the arbitrament of, arms until reason had been exhausted.
