PALMER'S FITNESS
FOR PRESIDENCY
No Candidate for America's High
est Office Ever Had a Finer
Set of Moral and Politi- _
cal Ideals.
(William T. Kltl* In Leslie's Weekly.).
Various men have mora or less hesi
tatingly ahled their hat* Into the Presi
dential ring; A. Mitchell-Palmer, hat
te*s aud Coatleas, I* In the ring himself.
A houry American story nurrates
the visit of a horseman to a stock
farm. where he was shown veterans of
the paddock with famous record* and
colt* of Infinite -promise. At length
the visitor exclaimed, "I've seen plenty
of 'has-beens' and a Iqt of 'inay-bea,'
but I would like most of all to seen an
'la-er.'" '
I'aliner Is a personality In the pres
ept tense. He I* first In the public eye
because he Is at the moment first In
the service of the government. That
1; what I mean by saying that he Is In
the ring himself. An America's cham
pion knight 'errant against tlie four
dragona—tlie "Reds," the food prof
iteers, the Industrial malefactors and
the prohibition vlo'latois—the Attorney 1
General ls-at-tha moment the busiest I
mun In tho public behalf to be found in
America. He is. pur prlte "ls-er."
No csndldate for America's highest
office ever had U'tyisr aet of political
and moral Ideela, conaiatently held and I
practiced, than this young Friend, with
the story book rlsa-by self-help from
the lot of a country lad to a position
of nstlonal eminence; nevertheless, It
1* a* a doer rather than as a dreamer
and a talker that Palmer la known. He
has the chsracUHatlc American qual
ity of ability to "make good" at his
present post, whatever that may be.
As u congressman his efficiency made
him the key man nn the Waya and
Means Committee. The same trait bad
put him at the head of the cl en used
polltlcsl organization if the Democrat
ic Party In Pennsylvania—after one
Belleau Wood of a light. President
Wilson, who distributes offices after
sn Inicrutable fasldon of his own, hav
ing In 1012 offered this Quskcr the In
congruous post of Secretary oif War In
hie Cablaet, thus shoarlng hi* eatlmate
of Palmer's first claaa qualifications,
later, when America had entered the
war, named him te the nondescript
and apparently trlvlsl post of alien
property custodian.
What thereafter happened the whole
world know*. Palmer's nnme became
a word of,execration In Germany and
a word of admiration ttt America and
the allied nations. He took eight hun
dred million dollar* of German money
away from our enemies—revealing In
cidentally the relation of German t>usl
ness to espionage aAd propaganda—
and turned It Into Uncle Sam's war
chest. The country learned that thla
placid-faced member of the Society ef
Friends was about the flghtlngest Yan
kee of us all. What a crop of bitter
enemies he raised up for himself dur
ing the war, ranging In location from
the smallest German beer garden to
the stately halls of ths United State*
' senate. Is In part known to the public.
This fine disregard for foes Is a qual
ity which tho prealdency ever needs.
Palmer would not truckle to the Irish
vote or the German vote or the British
vote or the negre vote or the labor vote
or the btislneea vote; aa President he
would contend so vigorously for the
American Constitution and the right*
.6f the "rtiole American people tlist the
nation would redlarever Ita historic
