Mr. Harding has been charged with the duties of his great office less than a year. In that time the buoyancy of , a care free senator and successful can-

didate has been somewhat subdued by the wear and tear of office. The smil pig candidate has become the philosopher.. The critic has become the criticized and he wonders why “little carping innuendos” should bo necessary for the successful working of a great democracy. “He has found." says Lawrence, “that looking at the presidency from inside the white house dwarfs in importance some of the criticisms which are made about a nation’s executive.” , The admirers of the devotion to duty which broke the health and heart of President Wilson while the supporters of Harding, the candidate, deluged the country not only with “little carping innuendos,” but with purposeful misinterpretation and misquotation of the president’s words, deliberate misrepresentation of the work and base slurs upon his character, have been waiting for the day when Mr. Harding would come to a full apreciation of the trials and hardships of the presidency. If they are now a bit callous

at the president’s increasing sense of

“the awful responsibilities of this era of economic reconstruction” it is bethey recall the picture of the broken figure of a president confined to the white house by sickness while a clique of senators, led a destructive partisan attack on the work to which he had passionately dedicated his talent. his resolution and his life.

1 moil, future world peace is in the lap of the gods, men are unemployed and people are starving partly If not wholly because the Uhltnd States spurned its opportunity of world leadership with itt repudiation of Mr. Wilson's work. Mr. Harding is only one of the sufferers, but he Is not n helpless one. Let him fearlessly and without regard to expediency or campaign balderdash, take up the load of his predecessor for the peace and rehabilitation of the world and he will not want either for Mr. Wilson's power of reticence or his peace of mind. —St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Fort Wayne basketball coach may be a game old sport but his silly interview as published in the morning paper fails to Indicate it. The truth probably is that he was afraid to bring his colts out, realizing that they would have to step along some. His idea of clean sport seems to be to permit them to have their own referee, both here and at Fort Wayne, and to fix all other rules. No one Will cry about the severing of relations with Fort Wayne high so long as they have a baby coach with a yellow streak a foot wide all the way down his back. Had he

wanted to be a man he should have come to Decatur with his team and played the scheduled game instead of giving out a lost of mis-statements to the press. We don't know the man or all of the facts, but we do know that in attacking Worthman. Cline and Miss Ossenberg he will have trouble convincing many of his claims. Names of six fair and credited referees were submitted, including Geller, whom he says he submitted. M hat Strum is trying to do is to get some cheap publicity and he has the nerve to call that clean sport. Ho must be a regular guy. In a number of states the good roads program has advanced to that stage i where they arc keeping a complete, | detailed and accurate record on all i types of pavements. According to a report recently issued by the Dependable Highway News Service, Cleveland, Ohio, the rfetordk disclose the following cost of maintenance for one year, per mile, on roads of all widths:

(trick, $23; concrete. S9B; rolled gravel, $313; bituminous concrete. $345; waterbound macadam, $381; bituminous macadam, $385. The figures should be of interest to those who realize that a big part of the cost of public roads is maintenance. if Secretary Mellon is trying to discover an unpopular means of meeting the cost of the proposed bonus bill he will succeed if his plan announced yesterday should slip through. Increased postage, added tax to tobacco and documentary stamps would be bad enough but a stamp on each check * is impossible and about the worst men--1 ace Imaginable. They will never do it. Operation of railroads is costing I thirty-two per cent more now than it I did under government control. No wonder freights don't drop much. INSTRUCTORS WILL MEET A meeting of all principals and superintendents of the various schools in file county will be held at County Superintendent Christen's office in the j court house tomorrow morning at 9 ■o'clock. The object of this meeting will be to thoroughly discuss better methods of instruction and to take tip matters concerning courses of study. Details relative to the coming spelling matches, musical and orator- ' ical contests and debating contests will also be decided and it is desired that all principals and superintendents be present.

aerintendent Worthman and Croningsr of Fort Wayne had agreed upon the Sryant girls' coach to officiate, the ar•angoment having been made several lays ago, Miss Ossenberg having noth ng to do with this matter. The feeling between the two schools s also taken up relative to the football game staged in their city early in he season. They charge the locals with disgraceful conduct at the Y. M. C. A. and also on the field, claiming to have sufficient evidence to oust the ; 'ocals from the association. Relative . o this matter, the treatment received ■ by the locals is well remembered. Although the locals were not entirely to blame for the slight disturbance caused, every charge has been made good, and no ill-feeling between them and the Y. M. C. A. exists. It Will alscf, be remembered that the first game of the season was staged at Fort Wayne, and the game scheduled in this city cancelled by Coach Strum. With the can■ellation of the game .the forfeit was aever paid and with the state athletic tiles stating that all forfeits not paid by November 30, the offended team is extended the privilege of expelling the >ffenders from the association, the •’ort Wayne high school may Hot de■ide to take their proposed action at his time. Coach Strum never brought his team to this city for a return game ’lilt was present when several visiting teams played here and remarked to Coach Moore after the C. C. H. S. game that he would never bring a team *o tills city, again making the same remark after the Bluffton game. Fort Wayne high was, however, desirous of continuing their relations with the Decatur school as football correspondence for this year was sent the local school, local school authorities refusing to agree to sign. eDcatur carried out both contracts for a football game and a basketball game in Fort Wayne, having the intentions of severing with them after all signed contracts had expired, as Fort Wayne refused to carry out the contracts for games in this city. The cancellation of both football and basketball games in this city proved a big loss to the local high School but the Fort Wayne school seems to be in the habit of cancelling games.'as the Garrett high school coach. who officiated at a football contest in this city this season, stated at the time •hat they had cancelled the return game with them for three consecutive years. • 1 • a • ——— —— PARENT-TEACHERS' MEETING.
