| at the short session. and even the sup
ply bills have to be passed only hall
| digested. The chairman or the APP
propriations committee of the two
houses have repeatedly complained
that in the rush of the short session
many appropriations are allowed to
slip thru which would be held up and
rejected were there time enough to
give them proper scrutiny. A second
session Of five months instead of three
months would greatly promote econ
omy and efficiency in legislation.
Moreover, the amendment suggested
bridges over dangerous hiatus In
the presidential succession. AS the
constitution stands it fails to take into
consideration the contingency that ne
president-elect may die IN the interval
between the canvassing of the vote OF
the electoral colleges and the date set
for the inauguration. 1t may be held
that the vice president ELECT under
such circumstances can qualify on in
augura ton day as vice president, and
then assume the presidency, but that
is only an inference suggested by COM
mon sense. The amendment removes
all doubt by definitely securing the sue
cesson in the vice president.
Furthermore, both president ct
and vice president elect may die in the
interval between the canvanssing OF
the electoral vote and the inaugura-
ton. Some extra constitutional rem
edy would then have 10 be sought, for
there is no constitutional provision for
q succession under those circumstances.
The proposed amenment gives congress
the power, when there is no person en-
titled TO hold the office of president or
vice president, to declare by law what
officer shall then act as president.
There is need for such an authorize
ton, for it is easily conceivable that
with three parties dividing the elector-
al vote in fairly equal shares there
might be no election of president by
the house of representatives and no
election of vice president by the senate
under the constitutional requirement
of a two-thirds quorum and ma
jority vote for the winner not of a
quorum but Of the entire membership.
Instead of merely furnishing a better
opportunity for Inauguration street pa
rades in Washington the amendment
defeated last Monday seeks to cure de-
fectS in a vital feature of the constitu-
ton, legi1ina1ely completing the good
work accomplished by the Twelfth
amendment.

BOYS PLAY...QulT ii.

There was jangling on the floor the
other day over the request that the
president be permitted to draw on next
years s25, 600 allowance in order 10
pay off his overdraft on the present
years allowance. 1t appears that the
many and extended trips of the presl-
dent cost more than the $4,000 he Is
entitled to use and which was granted
in order that he might run about some
without paying his own fare or be IN
der obligations to the railroad cor
porations. The president Went so far
and so often that his expense account
overruns the allowance. He seems 10
be much in the condition of the lady
whose husband gave her a check book
and q, bank account. She complained
that the bank shut her off tho the
check book had not been entirely used
up.
Then too when one is having the
time of his life he does not pay such
STRIFE attention to trivial details like
a bank account. These trips were a
sort OF honeymoon TO the president
He had always gone on trips overshad-
owed by some higher authority, These
time he was the whole thing. No Won
der he spent little more than he
meant to- We all do it.
The serious thing comes after the
trip when the bills come in That is
what seems to be happening in Wash
incton. And the money is gone. More
over the democrats are Directing siren
uously over paying up the deficit or
even permitting a little reaching over
into next year. II is a small matter
willing to attend to 1t as soon as pos
sible. but really haven't the money
with me today.
There is a good deal Of boys play
in the refusal 10 settle the bill one way
or the other. The thing to do is to
nav off the obligation with a warning
not to do it again. There was
good deal of boys play evidenced in
spending more IlO!!eS C44 - ~ Ntt
had been provided and expecting that
some one would attend to the deficit
later. Business is business all right
but the country will not desire the
president nagged over the deficit, 1t
should be paid up without fourfushing
over it on the floor or attempting to
make capital out of the incident.
Time was when the deficit would
never have shown. It would have been
the privilege and pleasure of the cor
porations to furnish the special trains
as courtesy" 1t is good sign
of the times that even a deficit proves
that the government is paying cash for
railroad fares.

MOhuM EXITING.

Some good friend and admirer Of
John A. Kasson is suggesting monu-
uent to that useful man commemora-
tive of his service. Attention is called
to the torpid state Of the movement for
the Allison monument and criticism is
offered as to Iowa's alleged neglect
and forgetfulness of those who have
attained high places and given long
service
II is worth noting that practically
every demand for a monument is for
some man who has been high in politi-
cal life. The impression seems 10 be
general that political place and SER
vice are particularly entitled to re-
membrance and memorial shafts. Il
we are to go into monumenting it
would seem just that we remem-
Der other services as well as those po-
,itical The inventor, the philanthropy
ast and all others whose services has
been great and long or great without
length certainly have claims to monu-
ments and the piled up granite that
suggests remembrance.
Some of US are inclined to agree
with the assertion that the man who
needs a monument does not deserve
one. It is at any rate true that neither
Allison nor Kasson need multiplica-
ton of monuments. Their fame is Sc
cure in Iowa history and each has won
his imperishable place in the annals of
the nation. If we were to build monu-
meuts to all the Iowans who have de-
served them quite as much as has eth
ed Allison or Kasson the state house
grounds would look like cemetery and
the mere multiplication of shafts de-
tract rather than add to the true great
ness OF the men to whom they were
erected.
The contemporaries and friends of
most able and beloved men in their
generation desire expression Of their
love and appreciation. 1t is entirely
ns4ural. Within limits it is beautifully
appropriate. It is a question however
whether much monumenting by the
state OF men.who must still meet the
test OF fame, the verdict OF those un-
born. jsreither necessary or advisa bic.

"PRA1RlE JIM" WILSON.

James H. Wilson of Adair county,
candidate for the republican nominal
ton for railroad commissioner, is
one of the common people, and if he
is nominated and elected there is no
question but what he will ever be
watchful of the interests of the peo-
pie first, last and all the time. There
are to be two commissioners elect
ed this year, and We look to see Cliff
ford E. Thorne and James H. Wilson
secure the republican nominations in
June and be elected this fall.
The editor of The Pioneer has
known Mr.. Wilson for a great many
years He has good, practical ideas
on public questions. has business abil-
ity and best of all has the inclina-
ton to give the public the best there
is in him.

In Place of the Apostles Creed.
Hartford Courant.]


In the twentieth century the Center
church of New Haven has been still
requiring applicants for membership
to assent to doctrinal statements form
ulated many hundreds of years ago.
The Apostles Greed commands Pastor
Maurer's admiration and reverence. "a
majestic voice out of the past" he
calls it. He believes it will always
keep it's place in the liturgies. But
he thinks it is misused when it is used
as test at the church's doorsill. He
said Sunday morning:
We are requiring men to express
their faith and belief in terms of this
creed. And If a man loves Christ, be-
lives in Him, wishes to accept Him,
wishes with all his heart to submit
heart to the will of God, but differs
from the Nicene theory of the Trinity
or the parentage of Christ, or can not
understand how it was possible for
Christs physical body to ascend into
heaven, which flesh and blood can not
inherit, or whose reason tells him that
there can not be a resurrection OF the
body-I call your attention to the fact
that we are compelling that man 10
twist and juggle phrases into meaning
what they We're not intended to mean,
and before the very altar of God are
urging him to be insincere. The
church must have place for every
man who can meet the test of disciple
ship, or pay the price. Men will find
their way to God, and woe be to Zion
IL they are forced to find that way
outside the Christian church.
1t isn't within the range Of hope that
this explanation will satisfy or even
soothe the militant orthodoxy that
speaks thru the advance" of Chicago.
But the members of New Ravens
Center church know now If they didn't
before just what they are asked to do
by their pastor and deacons, and why
they are asked to do it.

As to the Inauguration Date.
New York Tribune.)


The failure of the house of represen-
tatives last Monday to approve the
Joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the constitution changing the
date Of the Inauguration, lengthening
by eight weeks the short session of
congress and closing certain gaps in
the presidential succession is probably
attributable more to ignorance and
Misrepresentation than to deliberate
iudgn ent. Some of the opponents of
the resolution must have neglected to
read it, for they rang the changes on
the old argument that the constitution
was to be amended merely to prevent
congressman from catching cold at
March 4 inaugurations and to help
swell the Golfers of Washington trades
men anxious TO attract larger crowds
to the capital for the display. We re-
gTet that representative from THIS
city. Mr. Harrison, should have oppos-
ed the resolution on such trivial and
mistaken grounds as these:
What is the proposition? 1t is sim :
ply this, to turn the constitution OF the
United States into weather yane.
It is simply this, to set in motion the
most solemn machinery in the hands OF
this congress to bring about an amend
ment to the most immortal docum ent
ever penned. For what purpose? For
the purpose Of securing sunshine upon
the date of an inaugural parade. Mr.
Speaker. the proponents of this meas
ure evidently look upon the inaugur-
alton of the president as a sort of third
show rivaling the Barnum & Bailey
circus parade and the Buffalo BilP
parade that we saw this morning. They
look upon the inauguration OF the
president Of the United States not as
a solemn function with meaning
which goes deep down into the roots
Of our history, but as show to be
provided for the entertainment OF those
neonle who may happen to be in Wash
ington at that time"
Now, If that were the sole or even
the chief purpose Of the amendment
submitted, congress might possibly be
justified in treating it as Of minor con-
sequence. But it has other purposes
far more important In the first place
by shifting the date Of the Inaugural
ton from March to the last Thurs
day in April it extends the second SEES
sion of each congress nearly two
months Such an extension is highly
desirable, since under present condi-
| tions little legislation beyond the pre-
paration Of the supply bills is possible

Mr.. THOMAS ABATEMENT,

The president of the sugar trust hav-
employees of his trust who stole by
short weight is hurt and astonshed.
He can not imagine what the govern
ment expects TO find out" by him. He
He is astonished to know that the gov
eminent connects him in any way with
the crooked work of minor officers and
workers which directly benefited the
trust of which he is the official head
an Increased its dividends at, the ex-
pense of the customs revenues.
One of those who stole for the trust
explained his failure to confess at his
trial thus: Had he confessed he must
have implicated dead Havermeyer,
former head of the sugar cinch. His
confession, he said, would have led
him into the cemetery" Perhaps the
government expects to discover some
thing thru a live president. 1t may
ployes did not steal and take chances
on the penitentiary for the excitement
of weighing sugar short 1t may be
a suspicious government suspects that
the idea of theft originated among
those who would be most benefited by
the theft.
However, Mr. Thomas amazement
will be shared by others who will Won
der that the government expects to
find out anything by him. Unless he
has much more stable memory than
nagnates who have been cross exam
ined in other cases Mr. Thomas will
have forgotten everything which might
support the governments charges
while remembering all that will assist
the defence.
Nevertheless the public desires to see
him on the stand There is a universal
hope that his foot may slip.

WHO GETS TIP.

Iowa coal has been advanced 20
cents in price. It is not claimed that
the miners get this. There has been
increase in the pay Of the miners. and
as seems to be customary the country
over wherever a few cents are added
to the miners pay the mine owners
add an equal and sometimes a greater
amount to the selling price. They are
dividing more or less evenly with their
employees. OF course, the dear public
pays, and many good man is saying
all sorts of things about the rapacity Of
the mine workers, and never stops to
investigate how much of the added cost
goes to the miner and what portion of
the cost of coal actually goes to the
man who gets it out Of the ground at
the risk of his life.
