Editorial Correspondence WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. The proudest 'man in WatihhiKton In not I'rcHident Hardin;. The mom power ful man in W&nninKlon In not Presi dent ilurdinK The man of Uie ercutvt pi'Mt the man who has the ureatewt power In hia two hands is none other than old Doctor Kims. Old Doctor Sims for over half a century, for 65 years to be exact, he hnH held in his hand, not only the fortunes, but the very lives of at least half the members of the nenule and cabinet, and today at the flliKht t'Ht twist of the wrist he could snuff out the political career of President Harding, like blowing out it candle. And yet, outside of Washington, Dr. Sims Is scarcely known. In social and diplomatic circles, in the newspapers ho never appears, or to be exact again, he has only appeared once. He Is iuiut, unassuming, gentlemanly, retiring uml though he has enjoyed tho intimate confidences of every president since Fillmore, he has "never yet abused a confidence, he has never yet allowed that emblem of his power which In the hands of other mem bers of his race, is such a deadly weapon, to slip. For let it be known that old Doctor Sims is the presidential barber. He is also the senatorial barber. He has drawn that glittering blade of steel over the throbbing cheeks and throats of at least a dozen presidents, for some recent presidents have used a safety razor. Secrets of world crashing Importance have been pour ed Into his respectful ears, grievances and triumphs, joys and sorrows, af fairs of state, and affairs of the fire side, have been tendered to his safe keeping. And while he has been be sieged by newspaper' men, since the firing of Fort Sumpter, but ono word .for publication lias passed his lips. It was only a few months ago that this wall of rctIe.enco wan breached, when it became known that Dr. Sims had prayed for the safety and suc cess of 'resident Harding. Strong preHNUi-e was brought to bear, Dr, Sims allowed le photograph to bo taken, and his message to the Al mighty to be released, the story needless to say, went around the world, but the prayer alone constitut ed tho Htory. The editorial "wo" called on Dr. Sims this morning, in our provincial ignorance confidence of a warm wel-:i come and a fluent response, or Wash- ington negroes are, in general, a glad- ; handed lot and given to loquacity. Nut so the venvraMe du-tjr, doc tor of divinity, be it known. He met, our request with a grave shake of the1 head and a courteous refusal, phras ed with the meticulous care of a dip- : lomat of the old school. . "1'se sorry Hah. but 1 never talk to newspaper men. It is an old rule of this shop, which has nev'ah been i broken. I'se shoo you must under stand mah position. Yen Suit, I know Senator .McNary. He is one of my best friends. I love the senatah, Iiut '. if I yielded for one I should have to yield fo' all. I'm sorry, Hah, you must excuse me." One might as well have tried to j breuk through the well Japanned ex-; terior of Huron Admiral Kato, Impe- ; rial minister of marine. j Hut there was nothing pretenslous about Dr. Sims, he didn't put it on after the fashion of an African grand- j duke, the dignity and polish of his j manner fitted him far better than his white jacket. ' There was Just one slight flash of j the racial characteristic as we start- i ed to leave. Apparently the doctor, I who was born a slave, relented some what, or at least wished to avoid what 1 might diplomatically bo termed a . slight breach of friendly relations. "Ah gave my picture an' prayer to one newspaper man some time back, ; the request tame from such a source j nh well he jumped off a bridge In New York other day and drowned j himself. It's bad luck for me to talk to newspaper men." What beribboned diplomat could have done better. No newspaper man i country or city wishes to die for an Interview even with the president's barber. So there was no ill feeling on either side, as we departed. Small wonder that new arrivals in the senate rush for the doctor's chair. A little man, slightly bald, slightly grey, over 80 years old, and yet with a hand as steady as a barber school graduate. In (15 years they say he hasn't taken a drink or eaten an onion, except perhaps on holidays, and his Incomo is both a steady and ample one, A great denl can be learned by future presidents or plain citizens from old Doctor Sims.

THE LONG WINTER. t"--MIE winter will be loiifr ami cold." nliscrvcil the prophets, A bent uml old. who know the piosclioiic lore; "tho ni;:ns and tokens till agree that there'll be weather fierce to see. and stormy winds will roar. The little creatures of the woods have stored up nuts and other piods in itiuiitities immense: in huntint; deep and stormproof lairs the i;riiiiidio.,s and the grizzly bears have manifested sense. The bark is thicker on the trees," the prophets say; "such sinus as these were never known to fail; we'll have winter Joiiy and stern, mid he who'd have some eoal t burn should sail away his kale." The sirns and tokens agree, mid yel the seers don't worry me. for always I hey are wrong; I never knew u prophet yet on whom a man iiii;rht safely bet; the winter won't be Ions or cold, since length and fierceness are foretold by those prophetic boys; the skies will be serene and clear, find flentle Annie will appear, and raise a cheerful noise. There may be sundry puffs of snfiw, and now and then cold winds may blow, but they will wink out soon; when all the prophets arc agreed that winter will be fierce indeed, it's sure to be like June. AVhcn prophets differ we can't guess what sort of ele mental stress is .scheduled to appear; but when they're all agreed wo know that nothing they predict is so, and thus our course is clear.
