Congress Flaunts President T&e willingness of President Harding, who undoubtedly enjoys greater confidence among the people than Congress, 1 to'temporize and conciliate was directly responsible for the spectacle yesterday when the House of Representatives dealt a death blow to the"American Army by overriding the wishes of the White House and tffe War Department. The Congressmen, facing a crucial election this hardly defend their actions on the ground of economy for at the same time they showed their contempt of restraint by upholding a huge increase in the rivers and "pork barrel," overturning in their mad course even the recommendations incorporated in the budget. e The flaunting of the Executive was not alone 'onfined to the ruinous attention Congress bestowed upoi Hie Army, but it was evident when it passed she readjusted compensation bill Ih the face of a threatened presidential veto. In fact, the threat was received with manifest skepticism by the Representatives. Congress, unfortunately, has been encouraged in this attitude by too many executive compromises. The President failed to stand squarely behind the recommendations of Secretary of War Weeks. He also failed to back Secretary Denby to the limit in behalf of an adequate Navy. When provisions were put into the tax revision bill which' he disapproved, he signed, practically under protest. Against his best judgment, he agreed to the Brandegee reservation to the four-power Pacific pact. Previously he had allowed an amendment to the German treaty giving Congress authority over the appointment of the American member of the reparations commission, doing so against the advice of Secretary of State Hughes and thereby inviting a muddle. Public opinion throughout the country has reached the conclusion that the Harding policy of dealing with Congress must come to an end, unless the President is willing to see the executive place and authority brought into contempt and his own standing before Ihe Nation jeopardized. Typists and Endurance ' A stenographer who can rattle off eighty words a minute on the type! writer is considered fairly, speedy. At allowing five letters to the average word, the typist’s fingers hit the keys four hundred times a minute, or n* arly seven times a second. To accomplish this, each letter Is carried -to the brain, sorted out, identified, relayed over the nerves to the finger-tips and the necessary muscles called into play to strike the right typewriter key. This complicated process occurs seven timqs a second! * ' Thought is the fastest and most powerful force. Light, which travels 186,300 miles a second. Is a snail beside thought In a fract on of a 6econd you can run one of your thought waves qut to a star so far away that it takes light millions of years to travel from the star to our earth. Few people use this enormous power, thought, possessed by all except the mentally unbalanced. Watch a fast stenographer, pounding the keys so rapidly that her fingers receive nearly two hundred thousand tap-shocks a day without, causing more than, mild nervous xatigue. Apply those same taps to any other part of the body and insanity would speedily result. One of the most terrible of medieval tortures was allowing water to trickle slowly, drop by drop, on the forehead of a prisoner ‘bound to a bench. Victim always went c:nzy. The typist takes ttmt same torture daily, many times over, because she works up to it gradually in learning her trade. Behold, there, the body’s marvelous powers of adapting itself to new conditions. s It is this power of adjustment that enables men to stand the sudden changes brought by loot-fortunes. For a moment there Is anguish, for days grief. if the victim doesn’t lose heart and commit suicide, the botfy and brain adjust themselves to the new situation. Things go on with the lapso-of time and soon there is as much happiness as ever, expressed in a different way. ' When life gets monotonous and boresome, look about and examine the first thing that catches your eye. Everything in the world has, locked up In it, as intense an interest as the things.you learn by watching the typist’s flying fingers. That’s what-' Horace Gre4ley .meant when he said that a good reporter could write an interesting column about a cobblestone or a pin. /

The Wireless Campaign The latest wrinkle in politics is the wireless campaign. It was sprung on an unsuspecting public by Senator Harry S. New and as a publicity' getter is unequaled, with the possible exception of closing a State headquarters in the middle of a campaign- to save money. A wireless campaign has its possibilities. Whether the politician or the public should be more grateful for the Inoyation is* a question. Ftom the viewpoint of the politician it has its advantages. He can reach a great many people With the 1 same speech."* He doesn’t have tb shakTe He doesn’t'have to pay railroad 'are. He needn't wear himself out. Above all, the heckler can't heckle by wireless. As we understand this thing, the wave lengths' or something w-ould get mixed up if he should try it. So much for the politician. From the viewpoint of the harrassed public,the wireless campaign also has its advantages. It is not necessary to receive campaign cigars. No one need put on a clean collar to go out to hear the orator of the day. He can sit at home in his own cellar. If he wishes to sleep during the speech his snores will hot disturb the remainder of the audience. When he becomes bored he can shut off the speaker and listen to a concert without any particular effort. Belies, in a wireless campaign, there caa he no wire pulling. Perhaps wireless politics Is the solution of the spellbinder problem.

COSTUME PLAYS GAINING IN FAVOR According to Robert Edeson, Prominent Actor

The cycle of dramatic popularity Is swinging about again to the coßtume to Robert Edeson. This celebrated American actor, whose latest role has been that Os Colonel Capt in Rex Ingram's motion picture proudctlon of the “The Prisoner of Zen<Ja,” applies the word ‘‘ilYamatic’’ both to the stage and screen. n For the last several months he has been In Hollywood engaged in his important portrayal in the $1,000,000 Metro picture of Anthony Hope’s romantic novel, which, if ever a photoplay were, is a costume play. The setting is that of the mythical and diminutive kingdom of Rurltania, in central Europe, a"vlvld little country of scarlet-lined cloaks, of glittering ceremonies, of nany medals and ribbons on the chest, of regal, stately gowns for the women of the court. The appearance of such a screen play at this time Mr. Edeson sees in relation to world-wide public hunger for the spectacular, the 'iway-from-the-humdrum. “We are al la bit fed up on love among the oak-top desks,” he said recently between scenes at the Metro studios. “Perhaps it Is the second reaction from the wm\ Our first impulse was to cast away regalia foreyer. Now, comes the inevitable return swing of the pendulum. We want back our color. ” ‘The Prisoner of Zenda,’ I believe. Is a forerunner of a general recrudescence of romance upon the screen and the stage as well. It’s sheer romance; not what happens, but what could happen. Mr. Ingram has chosen with an almost uncanny insight tiip most propitious moment for bringing out this story in pictures.” Mr, Edeson pointed out other examples, "The Three Musketeers" and Mr. Lriffifths “Orphans of the Storm,” mentioning by way of proving that not only the motion picture, but also the stage, was dressing In court uniform. Miss Keen's new play In New York, “The Czarina.” The importation of continental pictures, the most-satisfactory of which have been historical romances, he also mentioned. “The. Prisoner of Zenda is based mn Edward Rose’s dramatic-version of the novel. It has been adapted to the screen by Mary O'Hara of the Metro scenario staff., and the photography is by Jonu F. Seitz. <•"

Church Census Shows More Than Half Million Gain Figures Prove Growth of Religious Life in the United States.

NEW YORK, March 30.—The church Membership of the United States showed an increase of 701,727 in 1921, according to complete official figures to be printed in the Christian Herald, April L This c sus of the religious life of the United States was made by Rev. H. K. CarrolL The t?aln is an excess over that of 0C7.007 reported In 1920. The Christian Herald will say: “Most of the denominations share in the in rease. The Methodist group appears to have grown to the .remarkable extent of nearly 300.000. Nearly a third of this, however, is credited to the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. The Presbyterian group advances by 62,040. It should be noted that the Welsh CalVJnlstlc Church disappears from the list of* separate bodies this year, having been merged in 1921 with the Nor'hern Church.

CLASH SHOWS CONTRAST IN TWO POLICIES \ Forestry Row Emphasizes Great Difference between Old and New Tunes. CONSERVATION PROBLEM WASHINGTON, March 30.—A clash between the hot, impatient spirit of the old pioneer bent on quick results, and the new, scientific expert who looks generations ahead with a cold, caTEulatlug eye, figures Id the forestry row now raging between the Interior and Awiqulture Departments, Secretary of Interior Fall is the last of the pioneers. He grew up in "the wild and wooly west" and saw an empire spring 'up on wind-swept prairies in a short span of years. His fondest hope is to see Alaska tamed W'the same swift way. He is after quick results. ( At least that is wha{ they say at the Department of Agriculture, where officials claim that in opposing Fall they are taking a far-sighted scientific view with future generations in mind. It i.B hinted by Fall's friends on the other hand, that the Department of Agriculture isn’t so much concerned about future generations or the ifublic as it is with its ovffn Jealousy over the Forestry Bureau and that the real reasoq Agriculture is fighting to keep the forestry service is that it just can't bear to see this bureau taken out of its hands and given to the Interior Department. DEPARTMENT DENIES MOTIVE. The Department of Agriculture of ] course denies any such motives and ofi ficiais explain at great length, though | not for quotation at present, Just why they want to hold on to the forest service. “For one thing,” they say, "when you put something valuable in the safety deposit vault, why give both keys to the j same man?” The answer being, according to the same official, that the Bureau ’should*be left alonge to keep check on I the Interior Department. All titles” to public lands, it is exj plained, are granted by the Department jof Interior. The Forestry Bureau hnv- ! ing merely the right to investigate and make recommendations regarding land i'claims which may or may not bear cepted by the Secretary of Interior. Tlut

this right of investigation gives an outside check and prevents any*wholesale grabbing. GUGGENHEIM SCHEME UNCOVERED. It pas through this function that the Bureau of Forestry uncovered the Gugenheim scheme several years ago and It was able to. arouse sufficient -public interest to frustrate the*plans of that mining syndicate which were not questioned by the Department of the Interior. Tho Forestry Bureau, its officials say, has followed a strict policy of preserving the national forests, allowing timber to be cut only in amounts’ that would not denude the forests for the future. i One result of turning bureau over to the Interior Department would be, they allege, to ’op n it ut> to bomestekd settlement which, unless rigidly restricted, would nibble away thff precious timberland and leave the country short *>l lumber in future years. y _ , DISTINCTION BETWEEN JUNCTIONS. The Interior Department functions as I a real estate bureau interested chiefly in j lawful disposition of the lapds, forestry j officials say, whereag the Department of j Agriculture la ‘interested In the land from j a.productive point of view. /This mental difference of function, it is al>* leged, is sufficient reason for leaving the forests in 'the halids of those who are chiefly concerned witlrtheir preservation rather than their disposition. Fall charges the, Forestry Bureau keeps the forest lands locked up tight against development is denied by Department of Agriculture officials. However, in the Alaskan forest reserves alone 100,000,000 million fe@t of lumber is being cut yearly under the direction of the Forestry Bureau, .it is/ said. Private individuals "Bid lumber concerns buy Limber designated by forestry experts and cut it under Government supervision which aims at perpetuation of the forests. Experts estimate that 500,000,000 feet, five times the present annual cutting, could bo safely cut without impairing -the permanency of the forests. Lack of demand is the only thing now that holds the annual lumber yield down, they assert.

PLACE TO SECT RE LUMBER IS ALASKA. Secretary Fall wants more lumber cut, they argue, be is perfectly free to have it done on the 95 per cent of the Alaskan forests wjrtch are under his exclusive jurisdiction and which the Forestry Bureau has whatever to do. v One of TOe reasons advanced most frequently for the shift of the Forestry Bureau Is that it would reduce the overlapping and divided authority in Alaska and bring all the forests'under one head. Over thirty Government bureaus and departments Jtave to do with Alaska, and Secretary Fall believes thia Is a serious handicap to development and adtniniatratltm there. Forestry officials reply that while thia, seems like a reasonable complaint, that In practice it la impossible to get away from overlapping and division of k&tbority. ’ \ Bo*th sides agree on one point—that there is too much long range government In Alnvka and that government routine ought to be simplified so that the maximum amount iff business could be transacted on the spot without appeal to Washington for approval. RESERVES FLACM) IN INTERIOR IN 1891. The Forestry Bureau claims this has been* dona with Its business! so far ns the 1 law permits. Digging back Into ancient history, forestry officials say that the forest reserves were originally place I under the Department of Interior hack In 1801, hut after fifteen years • xperlmefft. Congress decided to place them in the Department of Agriculture, where they have since remained. One of the first reforms Instituted after the transfer, it is claimed, was to abolish the system of passing on grazing permit* at Washington and allowing the forestry agents in the field to authorize them. —— Charges are made that the Forest ’ Service Is Inconsiderate in dealing with settlers, refusing to stretch regulations where Individual cases warrant exceptions to prevent undue hardship. “Local settler are allowetj to graze milch cows and work horses on the national forests free of charge without permit or formality of any ktud," W. B. Greeley, chief forested, declnred In denying these allegations. "The whole grazing policy of the Forest Service favors the settler and requires large own- j

era to make room for newcomers who revelop ranches near the forests.” • He said that 35,(00 to 40,000 settlers and prospectors are given free timber every year for hom?s and firewood, and that miners are supplied with free timbers for their mipes when necessary. One of Secretary Fall’s contentions is that the Forest Sevrlce is holding on to -lands not fQrestad at all -and Is refusing to allow them to be settled by homebuilders. . Greeley retorts that'the Forest Service Jina opened 'up 21,000 homesteads and during the twelve years has 'eliminated 20,000,000 acres from its forest reserves, because this land was less valuable for forest purposes than for agriculture of other uses. Nearly half a billion feet of tilhber has been sold by th Forest Servicb in the last ten years, Greeley declared in meeting Fall’s argument that the Forest Service has kept ite Alaskan, resources locked up. “Many of the allegations are revivals of old charges current from ten to fifteen years ago when the work of the Forest Service was new and the objects sought not generally understood,’* Greeley said "tTi a recent letter, "’There were then in the West mnny opponents of the National F*orest system, and much agitation was conducted with a view to breaking it down. But the work has long since established itself In public approval, wnd opposition has been replaced by public confidence and support.

Washington Briefs ! , • Special to Indlantt Dally Times and Philadelphia Publlo Ledger. WASHINGTON, March 30.—Action lit-* erally designed to blaze a t trail' through Alaska for President Harding was taken by the Senate today the midst of the naval treaty debate. At the instigation pf Senator New, chairman of the Committee on Territories and Insular Possessions, unanimous’approval was given to a Mil Immediately t-T*lease $212,500 of an jilready alloted fund of $425,000 for road building in Alaska. The purpose of she etnergency grant is to purchase the necesary materials and have them, shipped to Alaska by, the end of June. They will be obtained under competitive bids in the Northwestern StaAps. Work, it is hoped, will be well advsmced by, the timp of the Prescient’s prospective arrival—some time in August. Congress holds the destiny of Mr. Harding's Alaskan expedition in Its dilatory hands. It was reiterated at the White House that for the moment the trip remains wholly a cherished aspiration.

One of America’s foremost naval authorities, discussing the London cablegram on Admiral Sir Percy Scott's antibattleship crusade, recalls the contrary views held by the British naval experts at the tVhshington conference. Both Admiral Lord Beatty and Rear Admiral JSlr Alfred Chatfleld while, here consistently upheld the big gun super-dreadnought as the backbone of nibdern sea powef. Discussing the battleship controversy in Washington, Beatty said: “The trouble with the experts who want to put the powerfully armed, heavily armored battleships out of business is they've never been shot at. Some of us have been. ThaGs why we pin our faith on the battleship.” “The an informal association of United Spates naval officers on duty in Washington, had a Jolly get-together dinner Monday night. Five hundred of them, headed by Secretary Denby and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, gathered round the festive board and swapped assurance of undying fealty to one iraother and the service they love, despite the slings and arrows to which a cheese-pairing Congress and fi pacifist propaganda are subjecting it. The name of the naval men's get-togethar society, “Alnavs" comes from the code address of “Alnav" which stands fqr “All the Navy” and means that a message is to be broadcasted to every American~ship and station the world over. TTnnotleed by press snd public i& the maelstrom of the bigger things that make up our national life, the Bureau of Entomology at the Department of_ Agriculture has been dealing with the of the hifmble busy bee. Be it known that a malady Known, ak the “Isles of Wight” disease, has been ravaging the bee-keeping Industry throughout Great Britain and other parts of Europe. So far the blight has not as it were buzzed across the Atlantic, but believing that prevention is better than cure, American and Canadian entomologists have been eonferrnig in Washington ■'’under the chairmanship of Dr. L. O. Howard, Secretary Wallace's chief bug expert. One of the measures they decided upon was to place an absolute embargo on European queen bees and to discourage the importation of adult bees into North America except for scientific purposes.— Copyright, 1922, by I’ublic Ledger Company.
