THE BOARD OF FSTTW4TE'S DUTY

In order to make clearer the extent 20
which the Board Of Estimate and Ap-
pOrtionment is responsible for the pres
ent attack from Albany upon the city's
right to govern itself and determine the
uses to which its parks shall be put 1t
report of the Courthouse Commission
favoring the use of a large part of City
Hall Park as courthouse site was
made on March s of last year. More
than fifteen months have elapsed and
the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment has done nothing with that report.
Its neglect TO act has afforded an excuse
for taking out Of its hands an affair
that belongs within its control. and is
failure to announce in unmistakable
terms the policy Of the city not to use
its park area for building sites has
helped the purposes Of those who are
proposing this raid OH City Hall Park.
How obnoxious the plan is which the
Board Of Estimate has failed for If
teen months TO reject may be appreci
ated by considering the size of the pro-
posed court building. The present
Tweed courthouse. which would be
torn down, occupies an area Of 24S by
1873 feet The proposed courthouse
would occupy an area of $50 by 90 feet,
thus using almost two and one-half
times as much space as the present
structure. How little of the park would
be left may be perceived from these fig
ures: The proposed building would ex-
tend TO within Sc, entyeight feet of
Broadway and to within ninety-three
feet Of Centre street.
The Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment can kill this project now, and
should Kill il. Before the vacation sea-
son comes ii should reject the report Of
the Courthouse Commission. as it re-
jected all previous reports Of that com
mission. Its failure TO do SO has kept
alive the scheme to invade City Hall
Park and hUddle the municipal build
ings together in way TO make New
York angry and ashamed TO It's rejec-
ton of the scheme the Legislature
would not fail 10 pay attention.

TIE VICE-PREMDENTS VOTE.

r.
The scope of the Vice-Presidents
power to vote when there is tie in the
Senate has been very fully discussed by
Senators sire, Mr.. Sherman exercised
his preroga i've on June ~, when the
upper branch Of Congress was trying to
modify House resolution submitting
sn amendment 10 the federal Constitu-
tion. 4 protest was made against the
yice-PresideRt's action on the ground
that in submitting an amendment TO the
Constitution Congress is not acting un-
der the authority of Article | IF the
Constitution, defining the powers of the
legislative department, but under the
authority of Article V, relating TO con
stitutional amendments, and that rights
given TO the Vice-President under the
first article do not apply To- the coDsld-
Grafton of such amendments.
The argument made by the DIRECTORS
was one from analogy. They pointed
out that the Supreme Court had decided
that the Presidents power of approval
OF veto did not extend TO constitutional
amendments. thus annulling to that en-
tent the provision Of Article | which
reads: Every order, resolution or vote
ito which the concurrence of the Senate
"and House of Representatives may be
necessary Except on question OF adj
"iourBment) shall be presented 10 the
president Of the United States; and
before the same shall take effect shall
"be approved by him, or. being disap.
proved by him. Shall be repassed by
"two-thirds of the Senate and House OF
Representatives according to the. rules
"and limitations prescribed in the case
"of a bill" Therefore. they contended,
IL was equally sound 10 hold that the
power given to the Vice-President 10
vote In case of tie WAS also suspended
when amendments TO the Constitution
were under discussion.
But the fault of the analogy is APP
larent. The Supreme Court decided
that the Presidents right Of approval
OF veto applied only TO legislation as
such and that amendments submitted
10 the state legislatures were not leg
islation. The relation between the Pres
ident and Congress is legislative one
pure and simple: but the relation be-
tween the senate and the Vice-PreSident
Is different and more inclusive. He Is
made the presiding officer Of the Senate
with the qualification that he shall not
vote except when lie occurs. The con-
ringent right 10 vote must extend as far
as his right to preside extends. IT he

CORONATION ,HEEH

The attention Of the world is largely
turned this week toward the coronation
festivities and ceremonies in London.
Throughout the widespread British EN-
pire the interest is chiefly patriotic. but
in addition il partakes OF qualities which
elsewhere are paramount. I'm all friendly
nations there are sympathetic felicitation
and hope that this impressive occa-
sion may prove to be the prelude TO Il
long and prosperous reign. TO all men
everywhere who possess information and
imagination the appeal Of historic and
spectacular interest must be strong. For
the coronation Of an English sovereign,
as spectacle and from social and per-
sonal points Of view, is one of the most
splendid and impressive proceedings in
the world, while in its maintenance of
ancient customs and its reminder Of
essential achievements OF the remote
past it has surely not more than q single
rival
If Americans compare the coronation
of Il king with the Inauguration of Il
President they find the correspondence
very slight, and negative rather than
positive. For neither Of them is neces-
sary TO the validity of rulership. A
President might take his oath Of office
in a private ROOM and make 10 speech
nor any public appearance, and his title
and authority would still be perfect.
So a king might be privately crowned,
or not crowned at all. and yet be every
inch king" In other respects, how
ever. the two incidents are unlike. The
Inauguration marks the beginning of
the new administration. and Is at
least potentially and is in fact usually
accompanied by important political
