The striking passage of.President Hardingjs inaugural address Is the one In which*he declares for universal conscription-in the next great war, a con scription not only of men but of money. It is so striking that it will bear republishing many times and rereading as frequently as it is republished. For if what he declares to be our national policy for the future becomes ai» ' accepted rfhing, we may be assured that no congress will declare war for America but in the face of a great national uprising. Here is what President Harding said: If war is again forced upon us. I earnestly hope a way may he found which will unify our individual and collective 4 strength and consecrate all America, materially and spirnually, body and soul, to national defense. I can vision the ideal republic, where every man and wsman is called under the flag, for assignment to duty,, for whatever service, military or civi0, the in dividual is best fitted; where we, may call to universal service every plant, agency er facility, ail in the sublime sacrlfic for country, and not one penny of war psofit sliall inure to the benefit of private individual, corporation or combination, but alMabovve life normal shall flow into,the defense chest'*of the nation. There is something inherently wrong, something out of accord with. theQdeais of representative democracy, when ose portion of our citizenship turns Ms activities to private gain amid defensive war while another is fight ing, sacrificing or dying for national preservation. Out of such universal ser vice will come a new unity of spirit and purpose, a<new Confidence and conse cration, which would make.our defense impregnable, our triuipph assured. There w~should have,.,little or no disorganization of* our economic, mdustrial an® commercial systems at honie, no staggering war debts, no swollen fortunes to flout the sacrifices of ouiAsoIdiers, no excuse for sedition, no pitiably•'slack erispi. no outrage of treason. Envy and jealousy would have no soil .or. their menacing development and revolution would be without the passion which en genders it. If the president had said this in a single sentence, thrown in among a lot of other sentences about the desirability of every man bearing his burden, but little attention would be paid to it. But here it is elaborated into a com manding‘part of an inaugural address, elaborately argued through, evidenc ing the most careful thought and preparation, a seasoned declaration of policy on one of the things the people are most likely, to be alert to in this new period in which taxes for war are bound to grind heavily and when invidious comparisons of burdens are bound to be made. Translated into the terms of common speech, what the president here says is that in the next great war we mast conscript everybody from J. Pier pont Morgan up or down, and set him at the national service of defense in what capacity best fits him, and that all the wealth of the. countiy must be conscripted also and be used to the best advantage in the defense of the country, to the end that when the war is over there shall be no complaint that one part of the people fought the war while the other part stayed at- home and made money, afnd after the war was over that one part of the people bore heavy taxes to pay for-it, while another part by taking advantage of tax free bonds and other like avenues of escape got out of paying anything at all. We are awaiting with some curiosity to discover what those who have been prating about getting away from idealism are going to say about this view of-our mutual obligations in time of war. It has been heralded with great satisfaction by some of the profiteers of the war that now we are to have good business judgment at Washington and be riel of idealism. Per haps it is too soon for some of these to have gotten their breath. But they •will cateh it quickly enough if in this congress, or any future congress, Pres ident Harding sees fit to present liis program in a formal message asking for specific legislation. Whatever is clone now, seed of tremendous significance has been sown in this portentous paragraph. It is seed that will spring into great growth when the next conscription of boys is proposed for war. This paragraph will, be preserve-1 and treasured, and it will be brought forth in many shapes'when the proper time comes. It will never be possible again to pass a one-sided conscription law. That much President Harding has done for the cause of world peai e. For when it is no longer possible ho make conscription one sided we shall be amazed to learn how little use important and influential sections of the anmmunity will have for war. No mightier blow could haw ft dh^merican participation in future wars than to open the door to the consjMjHb of wealth, and to the conscription of grown men for public service.

From the Christian Science Mionitor. It is interesting to see the way in which some of the nations active in the great war are now tackling the press ing question of economic reconstruction. The French appear to be relying upon obtaining large reparations from Ger many in order to balance their budget, and any politician who has the temerity to ruggest that Germany may not be able to pay anything like enough is in danger of being decidedhy unpopular. While in most of the allied countries a general cry has been raised for econ omy, and the people are demanding that expenditure be cut down, the German public appears to be indifferent on this question and is allowing things to drift. The attitude of the British taxpayer is typical. Not only is popular opinion running high, on the absolute necessity of cutting down expenditure to the bare subsistence minimum, but what seems to trouble the average Briton particu larly is that under no consideration is any indemnity to be received to be in cluded in the budget as an asset, though every halfpenny due to other countries by Britain must be shown as a liability.

From the New York Herald (republican^ A gdbd many subcaliber republican politicians are speculating on the possi ' bllity of inducing President Harding to restore to the field of partisan spoils tho postoffices President Wilson put under civil service rules. These republicans assert that President Wilson did not throw civil service protection about the postmaster until his own appointees were safe in office, that consequently the incumbents are mostly democrats, and that the victors In the election of 1920 deserve the Jobs. Tiiey talk now about “building up the republican or ganization," and soon, no doubt, they will raise the ory "Turn the rascals out!” From the standpoint of mere party expedience the republicans can gain little or nothing by opening the post office to job hunters. When Mr. Wilson became president he appointed as post master general, Mr. Burleson, who is reputed to be one of the most compe tent politicians in the democratic party. Mr. Wilson ran ffcr president the second time in 1916, and no body with a head under his hat thinks the machine Mr. Burleson built up between March, 1913, and November. 1916, brought the second Wilson administration into office. In 1918 after Mr. Burleso-. had spent two years more in office, the democrats got a sound beating- all over the nation. In 1920. Mr. Burleson having had another two years in which to manipulate the posto'fflces in any way which suited his judgment, the democratic party went to tlu polls again, and was so terrifically beaten its leaders cannot yet get en thusiastic about fighting for the privy liege of salvaging it. This is recent his tory that even small fry politicians should not have forgotten. Left to His Fate. From the Topeka Capital.
