THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

John w Kern of indianapolis, the
candidate for vice president on the
democratic ticket, appears to have the
same hay Views as to the usefulness
Of the vice presidential office that Mr.
Bryan and many others have, who
persistently ignore the obvious pur-
pose of the founders in creating such
an Office at all.
The original suggestion Of lifting
the vice president ont Of the unseem-
~ environment into which stupid poll
itlcians have lowered It, and making
him a political person of importance,
came from Mr.. Bryan and was UNI
questionably inspired by profound
desire to reinforce the situation II
is Mr.. Bryan's idea that the occupant
Of the vice presidential office should
be second only to the president; he
might live with the president In the
White House, but whether domiciled
there or elsewhere he should become
member Of the cabinet by courtesy
and thus at all times be In intimate
touch with the policies and practices
OF the administration. With this view
Mr.. Kern sympathizes, and probab bly,
| hundreds, who have never taken the
trouble to consider the proposition
agree with him.

dency had lost In public esteem be.
cause of some inherent weakness In
the Office itself which ought to be
cured, or IL 1t were impossible to cure
the evil complained Of without a rev.
dictionary enterprise, II would be vel
enough to let these thoughtless rec.
concentrations run their course. The
truth Is that the vice presidential of
fee has been reduced to its presen
condition through the failure of the
nominating conventions to select mer
of presidential timber to fill 1t. Tht
theory OF the constitution Is that sucf
a man should always be selected 70,
the office, in order that If anythins
happened to the president, he woult
be intellectually and morally fit t
take his place Until that something
happened he should preside over tn,
deliberations of the senate. 1t Is en-
tirely unnecessary, If he is fit man
