cause he is personally not fitted for the Office.
It is evident that two-thirds of the Senate
opposed to Brandes and yet It seems probable he
will be confirmed. because, having made the nomina-
tion, the President will stop at nothing to obtain by
patronage and legislation the votes Of sufficient
number Of Senators to effect his confirmation.

mentally and intellectually not qualified for so high

accepting the retainer from the shippers who were
seeking to have rates reduced he concluded his argu-

sufficient compensation; that he drafted the tying

PLAY AND SCORE AT

Defects in Present System Of

QUESTION OF PREMIUMS
BY R. F. FOSTER.

Several OF those who have been good
enough TO send In their opinions as to
the advisability Of making some change
In the matter of game scores a, dhipli-
cato auction seem To think the only
solution OF the problem is 20 equalize
matters by altering the value Of the
suits or eliminating the honors or some
thing OF hat Kind. But any game that
requires such a departure from the stand
ard values would soon lose interest for
the average player.
The point that seems To require adjust
snent more than any other is to make Il
worth a players while to bid his hand
instead of lying back to get penalties.
and the best way to accomplish this
would seem to be 10 put a premium on
the contract and not on the play.
