Harding's Accomplishment.
Pity President Harding!
Swept into office by a majority of
7,000.000 votes which gave him the
Unrest plurality ever given any Presi
dent, he la today but a figure head.
At a time when his opportunities for
flphting not only his own but the
shipa of Rtates of all the world are
possible he stays close to the White
House and does nothing.
The reaadn for this "masterful in
activity" is analyzed by the New
" orfc World in tliese words:
"The teastn Mr. Harding is afraid
to stir is that in spit* of hia vote ha
haa no following. He was blown into
office by storms that blew from all
quarters of the sky.' Ha won not be
rauae any one agreed with him but
because he disagreed with nobody.
He threw a sop to every discontent
without committing himself to any.
•Ha championed no cause. He was all
things to all men and nothing in par
ticular to any of them. -
"Therefore in oflce he is the pris
oner of hi* own majority. Therefore
he cannot do what every ether Presi
dent would do in Us place. He can
not appeal over the heads of the tr
reconrilablee to the country for sup
port. Re cannot do what Rooeevelt
did, what Wilson did, what even Taft
did—he cannot go to the people, ex
plain the problem and ask their sup
port.
"The Moment he attempted that,
his majority, already reduced to the
vanishing point, would disintegrate

to do the obvious thing, which is to
