roies of men and women as they relate to the Interests of the common people. U ts true that countries like Armenia and Austria r.re just new in need of the sub-jt.-.t.tiil aid of all pop! charitably disposed, and It Is also true that other millions need encouragement in their efforts to recover from the eJit'ti of the world war; but America especially Is being "fed tip' with the jeremiads of pedantic contributors to magazines and ether periodicals. Sometimes It Is not sympathy, but a kick, that will do the individual the most good, for It will encourage him to go out and do something fcr himself. The workers, not whiners, are the need of the time In every nation, and this oue in particular. Radicalism in literature is the bane of any people, ;ind there has been a flood of this scrt of writing In the I. uited States for some time. The world constructive criticism, but it should not bo weakened In its efforts to make progress by the pessimists who decry everything that does not t rigtnate in their own circumscribed minds.

HARDING DELIVERING INAUGURAL ADDRESS; CLOSE-UP OF HIM

THE "EKA OF GOOD FEELING" The "era of good feeling'' forecast for the Harding n'jministraticn by, many political observers following 'he unprecedented majority given the president at the ' Section seems about to be realized. Wei' wishes and

expressions of commendation for the anuounced Hard- j lug policies have bcu brought forth by the opening i

'iays of the new administration, frcm newspapers and ( rher Quarters hostile to the president in the campaign, s'ich as no chief executive had ever received upon taking office. But the new administration is to be far more than a Madlsonian "era of good feeling." The exceeding rersonal pcpularity of the new president and he practical harmony assured by the substantia! Republican majorities in house and senate are highly gratifying, but these very advantages impose a heavy responsibility upon the administration to get things clone with especial promptitude and efficiency for the nation's welfare. It should be an era not merely of good fellng" but of good and great works. If it be true that President Harding has inherited a heavy burden of things left undone by his predecessor, then all the greater n bis opportunity for constructive statesmanship. Then he realizes to the full the tremendous task with which he is confronted is evidenced by his thoughtful Inaugural address and by the thorough-gcirsg manner in which he Is completing the administration organization and clearing the decks ;or the big tasks ahead.

TAX-FREE HOMES ?sew York state has ordered exempted from taxation all new homes costing' J5.000 or less for a period of ten years. New Jersey has authorized a referendum on the same proposition. It is estimated that there Is s shortage of 1.500, 03 homes in the United States. Exemption from taxation for ten years would bo an inducement to . capital to build. A terlcus handicap to building for a number of v ears has been that Industrial and other Investments have offered greater Inducements to capital than mortgages on real estate. There Is a limit of course, to the extent to which freedom from taxation may be carried In Justice to tho public, but if industrial concerns fi'a given the privilege of issuing securities free cf taxation, as they are In many states, home buildiDg might be reasonably encouraged by temporary suspension of taxation.

FREEDOM FOR A PRINCE Royal match-making used to be a political business of the highest Importance In Europe, but it Is not so any more. Fashions have changed so completely that an oracular Hritish journal feels privileged, or maybe re

gards It its duty, to advise the Prince of Wales that he i is free to choose for a wife whomsoever be pleases. It says the English people no longer feel that the consort j of a Pronce needs to be of royal blood. Following that ! it easily adopts the pose cf preceptor and warns the ; Prince of Wales "to avoid entering Into marriage with 1 a foreign princess, to avoid a political marriage and to ; marry for love.'' Quite redundantly, it assures him t that his bride does not necessarily have to be his social j

equal. All this, we may believe, represent? with reasonable accuracy sentiment in llritaln. The princes royal have attained to a degree of freedom which a few vears ago would have been altogether unthinkable. Surely the Prince of Wales and others of comparable rank will be highly gratified. At least so will the people who aforetime were wont to pity royally for its lack of freedom to choose a wife from the sentiments of affection as "common" people do. On the other hand, this newly acquired liberty will prove less of a blessing than it appears to be. The divinity that doth hedge a king was enjoyed only at the expense of some sacrifice. Likewise the claims cf kings have been recognized by the people only in consideration of royalty's maintaining certain standards. Purity of the royal blood was one thing demanded, however fictional its realization migbirbe. That was one of the things which kept .cyalty as folk apart. By the blood test they were better than the commonality. Evidently the British people have experienced a change of sentiment in this respect. And that probably portends a greater change In the status of kings. If the people have become Indifferent to. the kind of a wife the Prince of Wales may take, it is likely that they are on the road to Indifference whether or not they have a king. if that is the tendency the ycung man under consideration may well ponder what is good for him. He may, and probably will, lose his meal ticket. If he Is wise he will take for a wife a woman who can he a help-mate. That kind is not apt to be found among the royalties.

UNENFORCED LAWS There are reasons why the laws are constantly violated, and it Is high time that those reasons should longer exist. The United States enacts more laws than all the world does, and consequently there is more violation of law, not so much on account of their being so numerous, but beause of their complexity and itselessness. So every legislature when it meets in this country must regard itself as an enemy of the country, because it passes so many laws and makes them so common that the people care, nothing for them. We have so many laws that it is impossible to enforce them, largely because they are useless laws and therefore have lost all influence among the people.

WORLD NEEDS OPTIMISM N"o Individual can live a norma! life under influences that make for the utmost iu pessimism. N'ai iona are made up of individuals and no nation can make progress if its own woes and the woes of the world in general are being constantly paraded for th: purposes of arousing sympathy or enabling some writer tu earn a little money from the magazines. The United States in particular is just now sundering from the distribution of the aftermath of the wot hi war the dissemination of rrilioism of rulers and statesmen and cynicism regarding the motives and ;ir-

ADVOCATING FEWER CHURCHES At an Ohio conference of denominational leaders, held In Columbus, at which ten churches were represented, it was recommended that church members In rural communities get together to bring about a reduction in the number of churches. A recent survey of rural churches in Ohio revealed that a large number cf churches were net self sustaining, and in many counties large numbers of churches were without pastors and many of them without religious services, except for efforts made by members of the churches themselves. Nor Is this condition confined to the state of Ohio. It is nation-wide end exists wherever the rural church is found. The recommendation seems practical, from the standpaint of community progress, but In many Viaces it will not he easy to bring about an agreement cf the kind Fuggested. Tho desire for denominational

advancement would operate against an understanding

of this kind. The conference also recommended that, ia cases where an abandonment of some denominations was undesirable, members of the local churches form a federated church, retaining their denominational characteristics, but using a single church and employing one pastor. Even this plan would require considerable concessions. Church interest in many rural communities is at a low ebb. That fact is admitted by practically all denominations. Country churches have felt the tide of the people toward the cities. The suggestions of the Ohio conference of denominational leaders are now v.-orthy of attention.
