Today Good Netvs. What About the U. S? We Are the Conserva tives. Mr. Ford Is Uncertain. By ARTHUR BRISBANE The president is better, sleep ing well, “asks for the newspa pers.” All serious cause for anxiety seems to be removed. That is the day’s best news. Senator Underwood, able man, with extremely and unusually prosperous supporters* tells the legislature of his state that he will accept the democratic nomination. He hopes the democratic con vention will have courage to face the international situation, and says we must “aid Europe.” Senator Underwood is not the first, second or third presidential candidate filled, apparently, with the idea that the all-important thing is to help Europe. One or more of those candidates might be surprised if a real candi date came along urging the im portance of doing something for the United States. We also have problems that need attention. Ask the farmers, the consumers of coal, the shippers on railways, and a few million others. This is the world's conserva tive country with China changed into a mixture of republicanism, banditry and chaos, and Russia running under the kind of govern ment that you know. Consider the difference, in radi calism, between the United States and the British empire. One lone some socialist member will sit in our next congress. Eighty social ists, elected as such, vote in the house of commons. If you have a hatred of radical ism, let those figures comfort you. In England, and all over Eu rope, “labor party” or “socialist party” means practically the same thing, except where labor is more radical than socialism. Here in America, labor has officially driven out and refused to affiliate with socialists that came with the mes sage, "ths only way for labor to throw off its chains is to combine with socialism.” Labor replies that $7.00 a day for hod carriers and $16 for brick layers constitute a set of “chains” not exactly unbearable. Henry Ford, who does not know whether he is a candidate or not, describes union labor as “a great scheme to interrupt work. It speeds up the loafing.” Mr. Ford describes the proposed bonus as “an insult to the ex-serv ice man.” Judging him by other politicians and by things he says. Ford sounds as though he were really not espe cially anxious to be nominated or elected. E. Fatterini, able Italian engi neer, predicts, that in 60 years, ships that now burn oil instead of coal, will give up oil and be driven electrically, the power sent to them by wireless from the main land. Many years ago this writer pointed out that the problem of power for flying machines would be solved by wireless transmission of power, now in its babyhood, but soon to be practically successful. When a ship on the sea or in the air can draw from power houses on land electricity manu factured from tides, waterfalls or sunlight, the power problem of the earth will have been solved. Ten million men, wounded In (he big war, are drawing pensions in different parts of the world, ac cording to League of Nations sta tistics. Those horrified at such vast ex penditure, destined to run on in definitely, do not see both sides of the question. A man can live on a compara tively small pension, given in cash each month. Many civil war veterans, because they had. to, got along on pensions miserably small. It would have cost the various communities at least three times as much to keep the same men in poorhouses, allowing for graft of various kinds. The pension that a man Is allow ed to spend for himself is the cheapest way of meeting the situa tion. And no one can tell how much the business of the United States and its general prosperity have been benefited by the rogulnr dis tribution of from one to two hun dred millions in pensions every year, the money going into every part of the country arid for life’s necessities.

Christian Reads Speech Prepared by President Secretary to Harding Repre sents Chief Executive at Knights Templar Cere mony at Hollywood. By Associated Tress. . Hollywood, Cal., Aug. 2 — George B. Christian, jr., secretary to the presi dent, presented to the Hollywood com mandery. No. 66, Knights Templar, the international traveling beauseant of the order here today, instead of President Warren O. Harding, who is ill in San Francisco. Secretary Christian read the speech the presi dent had prepared for the presenta tion. The international traveling lysau seant is a banner symbolic of the great lodge. The original banner was carried in the crusades of the first Knights Templar. The present beau seant originated in the priory of Can ada and was started on its Mp around the world when it was present ed to the eommandary at Buffalo. It was brought here from President Harding's commandery at Marlon, O. Reads Harding's Address. Speaking in the Hollywood bowl, | a natural amphitheater In the hills here, Secretary Christian, reading the president's prepared address, said: “I gladly and proudly join in send ing this banner on its highly-pur posed Journey, which is to continue probably beyond the span of the lives of those here assembled. Wherever it inspires more of real brotherhood, more of devotion to Christ’s simplest teachings. It will not have been borne In vain. "I charge that it shall not be hold as a banner of militant force, nor as a memorial of deeds of arms, not as a mere piece of ritualistic pageantry, but as the symbol of brotherhood, raised to the glory of our grand com mander. whose law was love, whoee reign was peace, and for whom the herald angels sang; ‘Glory to God in the highest; on earth peace and good will toward men. Beautiful Idea. “It was a beautiful idea which brought about the reproduction of the banner under which the Knights of the Hbly Grail went forth to battle to the death with the Saracens for the restoration of the holy land and its shrines to Christian hands, and to send it on a pilgrimage to the temples of the latter day Christian knights to reawaken or reanimate their faith and devotion. The repro duced beauseant will not encounter the storms, the fanaticism and the romances of knighthood which at tended the original banner, but I trust Its journeys will encounter no less of conscience and no less of noble purpose.” After tracing the history of the beauseant down through the ages, Mr. Christian read: “I am sure the mission of the beauseaat will be a failure if its travels are made simply a matter of symbolism and pageantry. It bears emblaroned upon It the supplication: ‘Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us; but unto Thy name be the glory.’ Teachings of Christ Simple. "We should glorify the holy name, not by words, not by praise, not by displays at arms, but by deeds and service in behalf of human brother hood. Christ, the great exemplar of our order, repeatedly urged this truth upon his hearers. There was nothing mythical or mystical in the code of living preached by Jesus Christ. The lessons He taught were so simple and plain, so fashioned to be understood by the humblest among men, that they appealed to the reason and emo tions of all. ilia words to the fisher men boro conviction to the learned men of the Itoman bench. "All of Ills teachings were based upon the broad ground of fraternal ism. and justice, and understanding, from which Mows always peace. *A new commandment I give unto you— that ye love one another.’ Surely In this was ‘all the law and the gospels.’ I make bold to say. In reflective de liberation, there Is nothing in templar knighthood, nothing in obligation, lec ture or exemplification, nothing In practice where obligation is kept, which could not be openly, and in equal simplicity, proclaimed to the world." Underwood Candidacy Grows in Potentiality iContinued From Pate One.) extremely Impressive showing of popular strength. The same is true of Henry Ford's friends. If the McAaoo candidacy and the Ford candidacy can be carried along simultaneously without giving rise lo too much enmity between partisans of the two, there will always remain the possibility of a combination, and that combination, as things stand now, would come close to being suc cessful. It would seem to be the( greater likelihood, however, that Me Adoo and Ford combined would have something short of the necessary two thirds, and that the final third, with Underwood's their favorite, would be able to take advantage of a sort of strategy. in which Underwood's friends are more skilled than the friends of the other two. All this, of course, is based on premises which are just about 11 months ahead of the actual date of the convention. Handicap Is Overstressed. Underwood will not be handicapped In the least by the fact that he la a southern man.

It will very probably turn out, that aa the convention comes into being:, Under wood will havo an even larger and more formidable backing from New England, the east and the middle west than he has from the south. It Is from these latter sections that tlie lenders come who, in a quiet and In a formal way, have more or less put their shoulders behind the Under wood movement. One of the Immediate developments will be to bring out evidence as to how far Underwood's stand on foreign relations will be agreeable to friends of ex-President Wilson. Underwood seems to lake the position that European affairs have gone from had to worse ever since 1919, that because of this, our own American economic basis Is going to be hurt, that the republicans throughout all this period followed a policy of mere negation, of refraining from doing anything, and that the republican party is, therefore, responsible. It remains :o he seen whether any of Senator Un derwood’s opponents will take a posi tion more nearly identical with the orthodox Wilson doctrine. (Copyright, 1H2J.)
