Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. Proverbs 14:7. The President and the King WARREN G. HARDING, President of the United States, has met the uncrowned king of America. The President, speaking earnest, solemn words, asked the close knit group of railroad executives to respect law, decency and humanity. He received a curt refusal and a rebuff from King Railroad, but his courage and moderation have won him the esteem of the millions of Americans whose chief and whose spokesman he is. The President asked the railroads to recognize the railroad labor board which was created by Congress; to withdraw their strike law suits so as to permit government by law to be resumed and government by injunction to be discontinued, and lastly to take back their striking employes without prejudice. To the first two proposals King Railroad gave qualified assent. To the third he gave brusque refusal draped in mealy mouthed phrases. : President Harding sent the Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover, as his representative to speak in person to the railroad executives. Mr. Hoover’s speech was calm, fair and dignified. He was received almost with disdain by King Railroad. The meeting was in the board room of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad; a railroad that is one of the many whitened skeletons that mark the progress of King Railroad. But to examine King Railroad’s reply: the thin vail over the rebuff to President Harding is a claim that seniority rights to strikers cannot be restored because it would be unfair to employes who did not strike and to strikebreakers who took strikers’ places. How about that priority thing and the concern that King Railroad has for its preservation ? The fact is that at bottom the men struck because King Railroad was destroying the seniority rights which he now holds So sacred. The railroads entered upon a deliberate program of giving their car repair work to contractors and closing down the company repair shops. That meant lockout for the railroad shopmen. It meant that they not only lost their seniority rights, hut Iheir jobs as well. The men appealed to the railroad labor board on a test case and the board decided in favor of the men—the work could not f>e contracted out. Sixteen other eases were set for trial. Other railroad shops were being closed. The railroads appealed the decision to the slow process of the courts. They denied that it was a test case. By a flank attack the railroad labor board was enjoined from even publishing its decision. To protect their rights and jobs the four hundred thousand railroad shopmen, finding the labor board paralyzed by the arts of the railroad lawyers, went on strike. President Harding has given patient study to the whole case. He summed it up. He temporately asked King Railroad to obey the law. lie was rebuffed and the sear of the rebuff is an honorable scar earned in the public service. . King Railroad says he will fight to a finish. That means a coal famine. It means food cannot be moved. It means that in- 1 dustry and commerce will be paralyzed. It means that payrolls' will be stopped. Mr. Harding is not the first President who has met King Rail-1 road. Nor the first to be treated with disrespect. He is in good j company. King Railroad declares war on the people of the United States j —on women and children. Presently he will ask President Hard- i ing to employ the United States Army to fight under King Rail- j road's banner and against the people of the country. Then again, the President will meet the King.

‘LIE DUCKS' TEASE Hi FDD POSITIONS Executive Perplexed in Quest • of Jobs for Defeated ‘Old Timers.’ SENATOR NEW ANGLING Whispered That Work May Quit Postoffice Department in Hoosier’s Favor. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Taking care of the faithful ones who fall by | the Republican wayside is becoming Ia burden, rather than a privilege, for ithe President. I “Lame ducks,*’ they sometimes call these old-timers in Congress, who Anally lose contact with their constituents, and are defeated at the polls. Already the primary elections are revealing some “lame ducks” so high in Republican ranks and they must have good jobs. Notable among them are Senator Porter J. McCumber of South Dakota, chairman of the Senate F.nance Committee, and Senator Harry New of Indiana, political cronies of the President who have ggne down to defeat. , More to Come Primaries yet to come wlil reveal other "lame ducks’* in the Senate, while the House of Representatives is expected to deliver a whole dock of them, all in position to demand lesser jobs, at least, from the party to which they were loyaL One of the curious things about a “lame duck” is that he never wants to lea.ve Washington. A few terms in Congress and a chance for his family to mingle in the capital social whirl; make It hard for a defeated Congressman or Senator to return to | the old home town. There are in Washington a number jof commissions and boards set up from tipie to time, some important, some merely Jobs to be handled in a perfunctory way. There is the tariff commission, the Federal trade commission, the interstate commerce commission, the war Anance corporation, and others. New Presents Question War finance seems to be Senator McCumber’s berth. He will be rei warded with the post of chairman, if I Eugene Meyer, present chief, can be j transferred to the Federal reserve board. I Senator New is a more difilcult ! problem. The President and New’s I fr.ends think that nothing is too | good for the defeated Hoosier. Some I talk says that Postmaster General j Work will resign, thus enabling the i elevation of New to the Cabinet. Others say that New. an expe-1 rienced military man. would make a: good Secretary of War, and if the President could only maneuver Secretary Mellon out of the Treasury, so that Secretary Weeks could take that post, the rewarding of New would be j solved. But it’s a problem, for the Presl- ! dent, when too many of the faithful become “lame ducks.”

THE REFEREE By ALBERT APPLE TREES Benedictine monks for 910 years have been cultivating one of the world's finest forests. It surrounds an ancient hermitage, about fifty miles southM east of Florence, Italy. A report in an Am- \ rM er.can forestry maga- \ 'JLwf zine says that this forj jtJw. est is as fine as It was I nearly one thousand years ago, though APri-E. lumber has been taken out of it in great quantities. The shrewd monks plant new trees as fast as they cut down the old ones. Our forests rapidly are disappearing. Unless we want a treeless America we, too, will have to plan: a tree for each one logged. Forest destruction is our greatest waste. POLICE A Chicago policeman’s diary, written in 1853-1858, comes to light. One entry says: “Arrested I. Breed, a hotel thief, and had his likeness taken. Went out on fresh trail of Vanderhill's mares. Found out that one had been swapped for a horse.” Most of the thefts, covered In this five years' record, involve horses and petty objects that professional criminals of 1922 would scoff at. Chief reason we have so much crime now is because there is so much more wealth than before the Civil War, when things really worth stealing were few and far between. More bait, more fish. CONFISCATION All German farmers are ordered by the Reichstag to turn over to the government a fourth of this year’s grain crops. The grain will be sold to the poor at a third of market price.

Army Dirigible C-2 Begins Cross-Continent Pathfinding Cruise in Early September

By HARRY B. HURT WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—The first transcontinental airship pathfinding expedition to be undertaken in the United States will be started early in September when the Army dirigible C-2 casts loose from her mooring at Langley Field, Newport News, Va., and heads for Washington on the first leg of a flight to Ross Field, Arcadia, Cal., and return. The flight will be undertaken by a crew of five in command of Maj. H. A. Strauss, now in charge of experimental and research work in aeronautics at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio, The personnel will consist oftwo pilots, two engineers and one radio operator. The only members of the crew so far designated are Master Sergeant William A. Fitch and Staff Sergeant A. D. Albrecht, both of Airship Company 18, now with the C-2 at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, Md. Itinerary Announced The route that has t>een selected approximates what is believed must be the line of flight for transcontinental airships in the future. Its course has J been largely shaped by terminal and hangar facilities, available hydrogen gas supplies and low altitudes. The total distance on the outward flight approximates 3,085 miles, divided into twelve legs. The route selected# and distances between scheduled stops, are: From Langley field to Washington.

Tennessee Blue Law Candidate Pays Expenses By Collections

Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—When Noah W. Cooper, “blue law” candidate for the United States Senate | down in Tennessee, passed around the I hat after his campaign speeches on j a recent tour of the State the dimes j and quarters dropped therein totaled i just $126.55. This is the amount credited to "voluntary offerings” in Cooper's first statement of campaign receipts and expenses which he has filed with the Secretary of State here. Additional receipts, including contributions from Sunday school classes, brought his total up to $1,741.55. H.,8 expenditures came to $1,664.31.

Connected Grid and Plate Help in Elimination of Static Noises

ENGLISH DISSENT ON OEEOi! lIIEIIf IN UPPED HOUSE Question of Modernization Is One Which Confronts All Classes. —t ...... 4 COMES UP THIS YEAR Agitation in Various Political Groups Begins in Early Anticipation. By United Press LONDON, Aug. 3.—The House of Lords, England’s legislative upper chamber, is threatened with the reformer’s ax. From the Democratic viewpoint, the House of Lords probably is the most reactionary senate to be found in any country today. The thing that makes reform absolutely essential in these Democratic days is the fact that the great majority of its members hold their seats by virtue of descent from some peer who was summoned to some mediae.val parliament by a warrior monarch, who did not greatly care about the “rights” of mere common folk. Under the unwritten constitution of Britain the House of Lords consists of “Princes of the Blood and the Lords Spiritual and Temporal.” Os the first grade, nowadays, only royal dukes are eligible for membership, and for many years they have discreetly refrained from voting so that the throne should not be compromised by intervention in party politics. The I present royal dukes are the Prince of Wales, as Duke of Cornwall, the Duke of York and Duke of Connaught. No Two Agree Just how to modernize the House of Lords is a question on w’hich scarcely two people agree. The older type of political thinker insists that the mere fact that a peer does not have to worry about getting himself elected or re-elected, places him above momentary and possibly “unhealthy” agitation and scares, and renders him fitter for impartial revising legislative work. For many generations it has been an axiom of British politics that the Lords may not interfere with national ! finance or taxation, i The first move toward reform was i made when the Government intro- | duced a series of resolutions (which will have to be submitted to and ap J proved by the king, in order to get ! round constitutional rocks) providing i for a partly elective, partly nom.naj tive house, whose membership W’ould ihe limited to 650. It was also pro I posed to abolish the mandate as to | w’hat constitutes a “money bill” and to 1 leave decisions on this point to a joint | committee of both houses, i An election is regarded as inevitable i before any definite steps can he taken. | This would necessitate the whole j scheme being gone into again—accordI ing to the viewpoint of the party suo- ' cessful at the polls. HOLD STOLEN CAR Three Thieves Escape Connersville Police—Find “Mule.” George Kech, chief of police at Connersville, called the Indianapolis police department today on the longdistance phone and reported that the Connersville police are holding a touring car the license number shows belongs to IV. R. Bassett, 413 N. La Salle St. Three men leaped from the car and escaped when it was approached by the Connersville police. Three gallons of white mule and four new auto tires were found in the maI chine. LEARN A WORD TODAY Today's word is—COSMETICLAN. Though not yet recognized by the dictionaries, it has been adopted by a ! large and growing profession and is j coming more and more into use, as ! meeting a legitimate need in a legiti- | mate way. j Those who use it to describe their | occupation pronounce it—koz-me-tish- } un, with accent on the third syllable. It means—one skilled in beautify--1 ing or in improving beauty, especially the beauty of the complexion. It comes from “cosmetic,” which, in turn, is from a Greek word, meaning “skilled in decorating.” It's used like this —“The American ; Society of Cosmeticians recently concluded its annual convention in Chicago.” RADIO PRIMER CLOSED CORE TRANSFORMER —A transformer in which the path of the magnetic flux is entirely through metal.
