Inability Of q President Elect.
Judge Taft's trip outside of United
States territory makes pertinent a dis.
cussion Of methods for providing for
the filing of the presidential chair IN
case Of the death, resignation or in.
ability Of a president elect. The con-
stitution provides for the succession to
all 6. vacancy created by death or other
cause. but there can be no vacancy I'M
I'll the events Of March 4 place the new
president legally in Office.
It is the opinion Of experts that there
is no authority whatsoever conferred
by the constitution for filing the pres
idential chair in the case Of the death
or other inability Of a president elect
between the confirmation Of his cleo.
ton by the electoral college and March
4. The term Of the outgoing president
expires and creates a vacancy, but the
incoming vice president cannot fill It
because he can become president only
In cas- Of vacancy created after the
Inauguration Of his colleague. In 9th.
er words, disability of the president
elect between Jan. II and March 4
this time must result in an exigency
for which there is no direct constitu.
tional remedy.

The Cadet Falnine.

There is a shortage right now In
cadets at West Point according to the
complaint Of the Military academy off,
cials. This means that the prize Of a
first class education and keep at Uncle
Sans expense. a life career of M
creasing honors and emolument and
royal provision for old age have lost
their power as a lure for ambitious
American boys. 1t is remarkable that:
there should be vacancies at West
Point. Perhaps there is a string to
the gift that repels young mensof the
stun from which generals are made.
Nomination for the cadetship rests
with congressman. II all who are
nominated should pass. then the re-
sponsibility for vacancies might be. put
up to the members whose districts are
not represented. Yet 1t is but q few
months since an authority at the acad-
envy reported wholesale reflections Of
applicants for failing to pass examina-
tons not above high school grades.
One failure creates nj vacancy unless
there is a capable alternate on the
waiting list. Even the possibilities be-
fore an alternate to an alternate should
have charm to nerve a boy Of military
bent through the study grind which
precedes the .'exam." and some sort Of
official dragnet would doubtless gather
in plenty of the right timber.

SHOW THEM YOUR TICKETS
This VIII Surely Relieve the German
Railway Guard of His
Sadness.

Whenever a German railway guard
feels lonesome, and does not know
what else to do with himself, he takes
a walk round the train and gets the
passengers TO show him their tickets,
after which he returns to his box
cheered and refreshed. Some peonJe
rave about sunsets and mountains and
old, old masters, but to the German
railway guard the world can show
nothing more satisfying, more inspir-
ing, than the sight of a railway ticket.
Nearly all the German railway Of
ficials have this same craving fo-
tickets. If only they get somebody
TO show them a railway ticket, they
are happy. 1t seemed q harmless
weakness of theirs, and B. and I de-
cided that il would be only kind to
humOT them in it during our stay.
Accordingly, when we saw a Ger
40 railway Official standing about,
