WHEN A vICEIREsIDENT DIES

When the Pres dent dies the
Vice-presideut or Cabinet officer
becomes President. But when a
Vice President dies no one sue
ceeds to the title. There is no
Vice-Presldent today.
A Vice-President has two func-
tiors, He is the presiding o ficer
of the Senate and he is next in
line for the Pres dency in the event
of the death or disability of the
President. At the death Of the
Viee-President these two functions
are divided The senator whom
the Senate has chosen as its ptesi-
dent pro tenn becomes the regular
presiding officer eff that body. But
the presidential succession is vested
in the Cabinet
fhe constitution committed to
Congress the arranging for the sue
cession to the presidency. and in
1892 Congress enacte the law pro.
yiding that the succt ss.on should
extend to the president protein of
the Senate and after him
to the speaker of the House, a
new election to be held within two
months. In 1886, however, this
law was amended that now in the
event of the death OF the Vice-pres :
dent the succession goes to the
Secretary OF State, Secretary of
the Treasury, Secretary CT War,
Attorney General, Postmaster Cen
eral, Secretary of the Navy and
Secretary of the Interior. No pro-
vision is made for new election.
The theory was that in this way
the Presidents party would re-
main in control of the government,
no matter what might happen.
six other Vice-Presidents have
died in office-George Clinton, in

A CONTRAST

A few days age in Blu tie. Mont,
a candidate for governor was "a
saulted with rocks by a number OF
Socialists on the streets Of that
city and the Stars and Stripes were
torn down and trampled underfoot.
The same week, Victor l.. Ber-
ger, Socialist Congressman from
Milwaukee made campaign speed h
on the Pacific coast In which he
declared;
~ would give up the Initiative
and Referendum II / could in its
stead get old-age pensions" sa d
he. 81 would forget all about the
recall II | could get a legislat on
which would give insurance 20 a
workingman cut OF employment or
state assistance TO needy women"
He told them socialism would
not come at once or at any GER
tain moment, but by gradual pro-
cess, and that il would not con-
template an equal diyis'o ON of veal /

give equal opportunities TO all. !"

HERE'S HOPING

Every good citizen hopes that
the new administration will serve
the country in the next four years
as the country neecs TO be
served Because of the trend OF
public sentiment for so-cal' ed pro-
gressiye policies which
demand that the humblest citi-
en- shall have equal privileges, and
nc more, with those who posses
both wealth and power much wi.
be expected along these lines Of
Mr.. Wilson. In Mr.. wilson him
self the people have nothing to
fear. He Is an admirable figure, a
man OF high ideals. His purpose
undcubto dly is to do right, and II
he shall have the courage TO lead
his party rather than TO be led
by the influences which for half a
century have controlled 1t, he will
make a good president. II no,
he viii be miserable failure, and
the downfall of the Demo ratio par
~ viii be sealed.
The new administration wi /
not be divided against itself on
party lines The Democratic Or
ganization will be dominant in the
senate and house of representa-
tiyes. and IL must bear the full
responsibility for any wrongdoing
OF failure. The measure Of It's
success or failure time alone can

An Emmett woman went TO Bose
buy because from the crown of
her pretty head 10 the toes of her
little feet she is loyal to her
IN ONE town. But after looking and
looking in store after store, she
became bewildered, ard rhe first
thing she knew her pocket book
was twenty dollars lighter; she|
bought a hat in Boise. Her kne
knocked together all the way home
uptil when she finally entered he
own front door her knees sounded
like the bones handled by the end
man in the minstrel show. She
had to show that twenty dollar
Boise hat to her husband, and all
there was to it was frame. and
bow in the back, which looked
like one of her children's kites.
After kissing the children's sticky
faces, and pecking her husband
bristly cheek the woman took the
hat out of the band box and held
it up for her husband to see. Cloud
ing up, he said: Put it on" The
poor thing stuck the twenty do
lar object aloft on her hair, which
looked as though it had just
passed through a cyclone, and
her face was wreathed in a sick
ly smile. Her husbands face be-
came blacker as he said; What
did it cost?'' That question has
never been answered; the woman
tainted. But the next day she
went back TO Boise with a friend,
gent to that milliner who sold her
the hat, and said: Il have bought
all my hats in this store for the
past five years, and paid cash for
them. This one does not suit
me. VIII you take it back?" The
milliner did, and refunded the
money, and then that woman went
home to wash out her children's
mouths with soap and water every
time they told lie.

Sunday at Green Hill.

One of the editors of the News
had the pleasure of attending the
children's services in the Green
Hill churches last Sunday. The
Methodists held their meeting in
the morning, and the Presbyter-
ians, theirs in the afternoon.
Both churches were crowded to
to the fullest capacity. Three or
four families did not go home for
dinner, but camped on the church
green and had dinner, picnic style
The horses were fed too and fin
ished on bluegrass, after which
the campers attended services at
the Presbyterian church. Both
churches were tastefully decora-
ted with great masses of rhodo-
dendron, ferns, and other wild
flowers and foliage. 1t would be
out of the question for US to pub
lish the programs, but we must
say they were fine, and must
have cost the superintendents,
teachers, and workers, much time
and patience. The little folks
did well, and we are sure that
the end for which these days are
set apart was accomplished, name
ly, the awakening and retaining
of the interest of the rising gen.
Grafton in the great work of the
Sunday Schools.

screen filled with sawdust, that they

The blanchets are then taken to
