Today A Miracle of Science. Politics Is Politics. Nothing Since Ptolemy. - Claiming the Ether. By ARTHUR BRISBANE L _J Today the first radio set will be installed in the Vatican, and the pope, at his leisure, will hear voices from far and near. What a mar velous miracle it would have seemed 500 years ago had it been announced that the pope, sitting in his palace, could hear voices singing across the ocean. The miracles of today are scien tific miracles, and almost as inter esting as the spiritual miracles of olden time. Politics is politics, which means that it is mean. That effort of democratic senators to drag Presi dent Coolidge into the oil scandal because he sent two telegrams to E. B. McLean, owner and publisher of the Washington Post, may bp all right in the political game, but it would be all wrong in any decent game. The president of the United States answers all messages that come from citizens whom he knows, and from tens of thousands whom h. does not know. He replies to messages from E. B. McLean, one | of the most intimate friends of the late President Harding. There is no connection between President Coolidge and the oil scandal dis honesty, and all intelligent citizens know it. The Egyptian government re opened Tutankhamen’s tomb amid wild demonstrations of patriotic enthusiasm. That’s difficult for a westerner to understand. Egypt has done nothing much since the days when Ptolemy, one of Alex ander’s generals, probably Alexan der’s half-brother, and the ances tor of Cleopatra, temporarily stim ulated national life. What comfort today's dismal re mains of old Egyptian power one can find by looking into the tomb of an old pharaoh who at least had the energy to go out and hunt lions, it is hard to understand. The giant American Telegraph and Telephone company indicates that it intends to control the mes sages through the other by radio. Sometimes reaching out too far is dangerous. People have fallen out of windows doing that. The telegraph and telephone company does pretty well for its stockholders and itself with its firm monopoly of communication by wire on the surface of the earth. That ought to be enough. The important pat ents on radio are dead or dying. And the bitterest enemy of single tax will admit that th« people should own the air. Another bad drop in the value of French francs yesterday. _ New York gamblers in foreign exchange were selling francs for less than 3 1-2 cents apiece, to be delivered next July. They were gambling on their conviction that French money will be lower in four months than it is today, by a great deal. That's dangerous gambling, harm ful to the French nation, disturbing all Europe. The first test of strength in con gress favors Henry Ford’s bid for Muscle Shoals. It might have been different awhile ago. But that Teapot Dome matter made dis tinguished gentlemen a little shy about selling public property “at public sale.” Mr. Ford probably will get the opportunity to prove that he can use Muscle Shoals for the public benefit, and, incidentally, provide farmers with cheap fertilizer. England, under labor govern ment, proposes to protect children. Girls in England can be married now at 12 years of age, boys at 14. The new law will prevent any mar riage before 16. It will stop smok ing by children until 16 years of age—and the English will stop it. We have such laws here, but they nre not enforced. The law will undertake to pro tect children before birth and will punish with two years at hard labor any woman leading astray a boy under ih year.} of age. Over here we can’t even get a law to protect children from dc structive child labor. England announces eight squad rone added to her fighting air fleet, with 33,000 men added to the fight ing force. Perhaps, when this country gets through cleaning up the Teapot Dome mess, it will devote attention to the creation of an air fleet. This biggest country should have the biggest air fleet. Every man in it could earn his pay in the post office, forest fire fighting and otherwise in peace. And mere pos session of the biggest air fleet would protect this country from war.

The more the merrier d Daughertv With Coolidge Is Guest O J O of White House Newspaper Men Attorney General Tells Correspondents It Is Easy to Re linquish Office, but to Give Up Honor Is Another Question—President Speaks in Defense of Amer ican Form of Government. Washington. March 9.—Conviction that the American people look to the executive, judicial and legislative branches of the government to abide by the fundamental purposes for which each was created, was ex pressed by President Coolidge in an address Saturday night at the annual dinner of the White House Corres pondents’ association. Speaking informally lo the men who daily report events at the White House, the president said: "I suppose that the American peo ple are conscious that we have a constitution of the United States, and I know that they are attached to the defense and maintenance of that great institution. “They know that wo have a gov ernment that is made up of three branches: The executive, whose duty it is to enforce and maintain the laws; the judiciary that Interprets the law and administers justice between man and man, and ihe congress or the legislative branch which is sup posed, under the constitution, to be engaged in legislation. “I think the American people ap prove heartily of that kind of consti tutional government and that they want it maintained In it» funda mentals." Attorney General Daugherty also was a guest at the dinner and in an address made reference to the move to compel his retirement from the cabinet. "It isn't much to give up an of fice,” Daugherty declared, "It isn't much when you live the span of life men ought to live to give up your life, hut to give up your honor Is another question," the attorney gen eral declared. "When I came here as attorney gen eral, having to do more than any other enforcing officer in the cabinet with the enforcement of the law, I answered all the questions of all the correspondents all the time as you remember. Practically all inquiries made of the attorney general per tained to crime. "Now', recently I have refused to have anything to say for the reason that I have discovered with great ac curacy that I have oeen charged with Howard Votes Alone in Congress _c Nebra*kan Splits Off Both From Democratic and Re publican Colleague.*. By P. C. POWELL. Washington Corrropondent The Omaha lire Washington. March It.—Actions of Congressman Edgar Howard In voting on important measure* that have come before tho house of representa tives at thi- session are puzzling and apparently no one can be found who ran do anything but conjecture his movements. First, the Columbus congressman lined up against his democratic and republican colleagues from Nebraska in voting against the Green resolution calling for discontinuance of Issuance of tax free securities. In explaining himself that time Howard charged that nil of tho Ne braska delegation except himself were out of step and were lining up with Wall street. The next measure of any Impor tance was thb revenue bill. Howard was one of eight congressmen in the entire house to vote against this measure. In this Instance. Howard couldn't accuse other Nebraska members of playing Wall street's game because the real dyed In-the-wool reactionaries and New Yorkers were practically the only persons to vote against the rev enue measure except Howard. The other seven negative votes repre sented "die-hards" for the Mellon plan. Howard's explanation In voting against this measure was to the ef fect that It contained a retroactive clause which apparently none of the other members of the house, except Howard, was able to discover any thing about it that was vicious. Ex cuses of the other negative votes wore that they were for the Mellon plan, first, last and all the time. That Howard, self-confessed purist and progressive In politic*. Is an In congruous figure, aligning himself with the self confessed reactionaries who voted with him against the rev enue bill, is admitted. Reasons ad vanced by the Nebraska delegation for his strange actions are varied. In some quarters it Is believed that Howard, who has never been nllgnt-d with the Khnllcnberger-More head crowd in democratic politics, is attempting to put those ‘two gentle men In a hole. However, the most common sense advanced Is Howard's aliened love for the llmellnht and publicity. Men who understand the publlelty-seeklnn name say that the best way to net publicity Ih to be different nnd do somethin)? different from everyone else. . Anyway, he has the reputation here of be In ir a publicity-seeker. all the crimes ever committed and I am inclined not to be quite so com municative." Coolidge Recalls lloylionri. President Coolidge discussed In formally several pending national questions, including government economy and reduction of taxes and devoted a considerable portion of his remarks to reminiscences pertain ing to the field of journalism. He re called that as a boy there were two weekly papers that came to his town and two daily papers, one published in a Vermont city and another in Poston. "One of these daily papers as I recall, and. I don't want to do any violence to present newspapers in the thriving city of Boston," he said, ' was the then very powerful and In fluential Boston Journal. It was partly from that and partly from in heritance that I secured my party affiliations, for the Boston Journal was the strongest republican news paper, I think, that there was in those days in New Englarfd. ’ The president reminded newspaper men that they and he had "mutual responsibilities" and said that he felt he was under very great obligations to the newsiiapers "for the success that I have had through them in in forming the American people of what I have tried to adopt and put into effect as policies.” Relieves in Economy. “I think everyone knows that I be lieve in economy in government," he continued. “Not that I can see a real virtue merely in eutting down ex penses, but a real virtue in a con structive economy that undertakes to measure the resources of our coun try, comparing them with the de mands that are made for the ex penditure of money, and as wisely as possible making a fair adjustment be tween those two conflicting forces. "I had occasion to suggest to you the other day that there'are many organizations just at the present time tiiat are very vigorous, very active, in undertaking to secure appropria tions from the federal treasury. Some of them are undoubtedly en titled to be considered as having a great deal of merit and they will have to be adjusted In accordance with the principles of a constructive economy. Predicts Ealr Tax Bill. "Others of them are not so Im portant and they have to be dealt with in the same way, remembering that it Is necessary to make the ex penditures of government as moder ate as we possibly can, in order that we may leave to the people the use of their own resources and the ad vantages of their own effort of pro duction. "We should always keep, in mind that there is no warrant in taking from the itcople anything more than what public necessity requires' It is for that reason that at the present time we nre undertaking to make a reduction in taxation. I think the effect on the country has been very marked. The reaction has been greater than that in favor of nay ether proposal that ever came under my observation and 1 have every reason to believe that the result will he successful and that we shall have here a tax bill that will fairly meet the requirements nf the situation." r Kraft Cheese with vour , pie—a per feet combine, tioti.
