ROOSEVELT VS. HARDING.
TMSCUSSING the dismissal of the
officials of the Bureau of En
graving and Printing, Representative
Roert Vt’aitou Moore. Democrat, of
Virginia, not only pointed out who
probably prepared the order of dis
missal. but drew this striking con
trast between the action of Presi
dent Harding and what would have
been the action of Theodore Roose
velt in similar circumstances. Mr.
Moore said:
“It is a circumstance of marked
significance in the estimation of
those who dread a return to the spoils
system that only a few days before
the president's order was issued his
attorney general proclaimed himself
hostile to the present system. His
utterance was not, rebuked by the
president, but, nevertheless, I am re
luetant to believe that he spoke with
the president’s authority and ap
proval. There have been president
who would not only have rebuked
him. but dismissed him for the good
of the service. Mr. Roosevelt, who
would now, had he lived almost cer
tainly be in the presidency, who ab
horred the spoils systems and was
ampfig’t-hp stanchest and most reso
lute defenders of the merit system,
would .'indy not have counlernaneed
the doctrine which the attorney gen
era] has proclaimed, nor in my opin
ino, is it conceivable that lie wouh
have signed the order which the a ■
torney general doubtle prepared.'
There is food for th.eight in th
’ words of Senator Moore.

. n * ail forms of romantic adven
ture, the sailor’s life has been th.
tr.p-nntchgr since Marco Polo soar
si.; centuries ago brought the mag
retie needle compass from Asia,
thereby putting ocean exploration
firmly on its feet. It was a great
tep forward from charting a ship's
course by the stars.
In a few generations the world has
seen romance steadily crowded out
by the steamship. The slave trader
passed. Pirates were driven from
the high seas.
Seamen's unions regulate ocean
Ji where.once the cutlass, belayin’-
pin and “walking the plank” reign
ed supreme.
One of the final nails has just been
driven in the coffin of ocean romance
in the Westinghouse electrical plant,
Philadelphia.
The occasion was the first suc
cessful demonstration of a giant gy
roscope which will prevent big ocean
liners from rolling except during
•wavy storms. Similar “gyro-stabi
izers are already in use in some
smaller ships, especially yachts.
The typical 1922 comment about
this will be: “Thank goodness, sea
sickness finally is preventable.”
Thefc'll be very little thanks
among the men who, as boys, wanted
to be “Treasure Isalnd” pirates when
they grew up.
Romance) is disappearing from the
land, as well as the ocean. It is one
ol the penalties of what man calls,
progress, or the conquest of the earth
and the elements.
Scientists and inventors are niak
ng life dull, cut-and-dried, ami ro
mance exits with uncertainties.
The modern boy senses this. The
briny deep has no such lure for him
as it had for his father. And the
11'22 youngster is losing a lot, even
if he imagines that he is finding as
much romance in wireles; and air
planes as his pa found in the domain

VALLEY OF VOICES

But another voice called out, “Go back! Ob, go back!"
T'HE next valley that the Twins
* came io on their way to the King
dom of the Korsknotts was called the
Valley of Voices.
Everything looked all right—-in
feed it was a lovely place, but the
dove told them that Halloo Hallo
lived there, and that as he was an
other cousin of Twelve Toes, the
Sorcer, it was more than likely he
would cause them trouble.
”I’ll fly ahead,” said the dove,
“and sit on the top branch of the
tallest tree in the other side of the
valley. Watch where Igo and fol
low—no matter what happens.”
But no sooner had the dove dis
appeared than a voice right beside
them shouted fiercly, “Sit down.”
Nancy and Nick were so surprised
that they did as’ they were told.
Down they popped on a fallen log
and looked around wonderingly to
see who had spoken. But not a soul
appeared. Old Halloo Hallo lived in
a vine-covered hut in the middle of
the valley, but as he was miles off,
the Twins couldn’t see him, of
course. He could throw his voice as
far as he wished, and in any direc
tion he wished, and imitate anything

i sat and as they didn’t see anything
i and nothing more happened, they
: got up. “We’ll have to hurry,”-said
i Nancy. “We must have made a

j didn’t mean us.”
But suddenly a little, weak voice
I near the bushes beside the path
[called out, “Help! Help!”
“Something’s in trouble,” said
Nick. “We’ll have to find it.”
So they looked and looked and
they looked but nothing could they
see.
“It must be a joke,” said Nancy.
, “Come on. We’ve wasted enough
I time. We must follow the dove and
i get out of this place.”
! But another voice called out,” Go
back! Oh, go back! If you value
your lives, go back!” x
Back they started, running hard.
| Suddenly Nick stopped. “Old
I Halloo Hallo is fooling us,” he said.
“We’d better stuff our ears and fol

‘ Soon they were out of the Valley
