THE PRESIDENT AND LEADERSHIP.
In special telegraphic correspondence from Tacoma
to the New York World, Charles Michelson, the
farnout' political writer who is now in Alaska, de
clared that President Harding's western trip had
made him the loader of the Republican Party. He
declared that the President now commands the center
ct the stage and that he, not Lodge or Borah, will
dictate the next platform of his party. Mr. Michelson
laid six cardinal issues had already been laid out for
possible platform planks: the World Court; the con
solidation of railroad systems; n consomcrs’ league to
act directly with producers; development of natural
resources by reclamation; selective immigration, and
proh ibl t icn en forecmen t.
After this letter was written Senator Borah, who
had opposed the World Court, reversed his position
and gave it support. His reversal, however, came
after President Harding announced that the World
Court which is now an adjunct of the League of
Nations but in no manner bound or controlled by it,
should be absolutely separated from the League. The
change of Senator Borah caused a tremendous boom in
the President's stock, notwithstanding that some
political writers, including Harold Phelps Stokes, also
in Alaika at the present time, contend that the
President in his Si. lauds speech stooped to conquer.
However, if the Minnesota election does not cause
a- reaction that would undo what has been accom
plished, there is every reason lo believe that Presi
dent Harding has established himself as the leader
of his party. His persistent support of the World
Court in face of opposition from both the radical and
standpat factions of his parly, followed by the sur
4end«r of tke. supposedly carelessly independent Sena
tor from Idaho, has done a lot to dispel the belief
that was more or lets general tiial he did nol possess
leader, hip qualifications.
That Senator Borah's abandonment of insurgency
will have a tendency to' lerecn the general estimate
of Ills courageous disregard for consequences. He
was leukej upon as a free- lance, who took his posi
tions on public mutters without regard to his own
political fortunes. It will he difficult to convince
many that his change of attitude was not due to the
fact that lie comes up for re-election next year and
the discovery that Idaho Republicans are with the
President.
THE THREE MILE LIMIT.
Aside from the Interest In the matter by the wet*
and the dryi and (ireat Britain's alignment on the
question there should he an extension of ecu control
beyond the three-mile limit. The three-milo limit
was fixed in the days of sailing ships and man-pow
ered small boats and when three miles was txlieved
to be the limit ot a cannonball’s effectiveness. Since
that time we have developed the swift leviathans of
the sea. high-powered small boats and vast extension
of effective cannon range. Distance annihilation has
made it so that twelve miles are not as great as
three miles were when the limit of sea control was
established. Much larger things than rum running
are involved in this matter. A country has a right
to protect its coasts. That is the reason for coastal
sea control, and a three-mile limit does not make
coast protection secure.
MISIN FORMED ( ITIZENS.
Sonu.' good citizens of Juneau, citizens who would
not purposely mieroprcsrnt lhln.es. have criticised the
Citizens Committee, named by Mayor Goldstein at
the suggestion cf Governor Hone, which had charge
of the reception of the Pnsddnet, on the ground that
i attempted to make the affair too exclusive by
restricting the lumber of people who would be per
mitted to see the President and the members of his
(abtne. Thee criticisms are not based on facts.
Tlie original plan lor a smaller reception and for
smaller meetings with the Cabinet officers was at the
fuggegicu of Governor Hone and the latter made the
suggestions because the Secret Service representatives
who were here in advance insisted that the program
ihould allow for plenty if rest for the visitors.
The Governor's suggestions were wholly tentative,
however, depending upon tin result of consultations
with the President and those accompanying him.
Mayor Goldstein and his committee asked for all the
time and opportunity that could he obtained for
people of Juneau to present their case to tile Presi
dent. himself, and the Cabinet officers. Governor
Bone agreed to get all the time that he could, and the
circumstance that )\e got more time and the reception
was more general than first hoped for is evidence that
lie carried out hi - plans in good faith.
A good citizen of Juneau told The Empire the
other day lhat he would have liked to present some
ideas to the Cabinet members but he had been told
that the speaker; had all been arranged for. The good
citizen had been misinformed. There had been no
arrangements. For instance, the editor of The Em
pire had uq intention to make a statement at all
until he was toid, while present at the hearing being1
conducted by Spcptary Hoover, that Mr. Merritt was I
IJioklhg fpr,lj|ni in order to get him to make a state-j

ing in another room.
No committee was ever appointed that tried harder
to represent the people of Juneau than Mayor Gold
stein and ihe other member* of his committee, and
none ever came nearer complete success.
Premier Poincare has told representatives of the
Soviet Government that France will not. under any
I circumstance, resume relations with Russia until that
country recognizes the debts contracted during the
C'aarirts icgimr and in good faith set about preparing
to care for them. Now if lie would suggest that nego
tiations begin lor tlte settlement of France's debts he
would complete the circle and get full credit for good
faith with the world.

Tlie jury was out fifteen minutes. This is another
illustration of the fact that publicity will cure most
American civic or social ills. Give the people the
(facts and they will do the test—-and they will do it

Dr. Eliot’s Wise Words to Labor.
(Boston News Bureau.)
The President Emeritus of Harvard for several
I years has been giving much attention to labor prob
lems. No student of Industrial conditions is fairer
j minded, more anxious that both labor and capital
j shall fare equally before the law and share justly In
the rewards of their productive efforts, or less liable
; to be deceived by specious arguments in behalf of
i cither tide.
! He cays that the public interest requires that
the "secret societies” of labor shall no longer be
i exempt from legal processes to prevent violation of
j contracts and enforce payment of damages. He wants
| them to accept legal accountability for the use of the
'power they pos-<.,s. and, presumably, he wants them
j to be required by law to become incorporated if they
Ido not themselves voluntarily seek incorporation.
Coming from such a man at such a time, and
addressed by him to the National Coal Association,
this statement has much significance. It verifies by
as disinterested and able an authority as there is in
the land (lie conviction that slowly has been taking
shape in the minds of the people as a whole. Labor
has no right to class exemptions or special privileges.
1 in; ideal ot unionism is collective bargaining, but
the unions do not provide any assurance of the bind
ing force of the bargains they make. In every other
human relation in the country contracts are inviolable
unices fraud be shown; but whenever a small faction
In a labor union is stampeded by some soapboxer, or
becomes excited over some grievance that ought to
be settled in conference in 15 minutes, or In any
one of a thousand ways Is misled, then a covenant
that morally is as sacred as any other agreement is
repudiated. And the other party to the covenant
has no recourco, no defense. The employer is re
sponsible under the law, the employee is Hot.
llie unions have made a serious mistake in re
fusing lo accept any legislation that would define iheir
accountability. Therefote in all labor contracts men
do not now negotiate us equals. Their obligations do
not hung even, they are not reciprocal. That atti
tude lias cost the unions may of the best friends thev
ever possessed, and is costing them others every dav
'ihey themselves are lo blame for the small faith
the public has in their fidelity to the contracts they
make, and the uncertain value of these contracts tends
!o defeat that full recognition of the unions for
which they strive.
The Leviathan Sails.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
We have reason to feel pride in the Leviathan.
Her refitting cost this people $8,000,000, ir she—
the last word in passenger-ship construction—shall be
the mians of inspiring greater effort in the upbuild
ing of an American merchant marine she will many
limes have repaid the coat of her rehabilitation.
Mr. Lasker may, or may' not, deserve the criticisms
or those who chose to question his methods and
policies, but Hie fat-' remains that he has turned
over to the nation the mightiest of all ocean-going
\esaels, a monster thing which plows the scab thrfough
stot m or calm with the speed of a railway train, a
ship capable of carrying the population of a con
siderable town, a vessel us comfortable, luxurious and
beautiful as an Emperor's palace. Nothing quite like,
this new Leviathan ever before was known in the
mat ititne history of the world. Naturally, we arc
pioud. and hopolttl that the great vessel will so
demonstrate her practical efficiency that in time Bhe
may have sister ships, many of them, to enlarge Am
erica's marine service to proportions which shall stand
second to none in the world.
Truthsevkinj; Makes Greatness.
(New York World.)

Democracy has always had its leaders It needs
