I.u- i •+ meant what the public thinks it means—what any but an expert would assume it to mean—Governor Harding could not remain a week. Before the authority of the Supreme Court had been established thoroughly in our system of government, a president, it is true, did sign to ignore its mandates but there is no man big enough to do so today, from the president down, and none, save a bolshevist, would make the attempt. Governor Harding does not mean to say that he will continue collections by lead-pipe methods. He says he will continue to clear cheeks upon those banks which are listed upon the par lists. Of course, he will because that is not the issue at all.
