WASHINGTON, July 26 The pres ldent bu turned his cheek but not in tbe Biblical sense. That's what some of his friends are saying. This apparent change of face is what might be described as an op tical Illusion, they explain such, for Instance, as you get if you look first at one side, and then the other, of Daniel Chester French's statue of Lincoln. If you have imagination, you see on one side the detonclned and relentless politician. On the other, the genial, philosophical and persuasive statesman. If you had seen President Roose velt on the day after the court de leat, quiet, calm and cool as a Julep, you would have had the feeling that the splinters of the big stick had been consigned to the woodshed, thus serving to confirm the unpub lished decision that the dress order from now on is "chsrm." The president at his first press conference after the debacle did not apeak for publication on the court bill. Members of the chsrm-school-ol' thcAutht orlvatelv declare that he was gaatng over the heads of his sudl.noe, end that bis thoughts were dlraoted toward "a high official or the administration" described "the country."
