PASSING THE BUCK.

The Supreme Court of the United
S ates in decision handed down
Monday, 18th inst, has declared tho
Volstcad prohibition enforcement act
constitutional. This remarkable leg
ii document may be regarded In the
language Of tho stree 8 as passing
tho buck" up to President Wilson
There arc three CO ordinate branches
Of tho Government. That is to say
that they are, in heir respective
fields of cndcavor OF equal power and
authority and one Is not presumed
to no superior or higher in authori-
ty than the other. although In recent
years he gentlemen or some OF them
at least, who have occupied seats in
opinion that the Executive branch Of
tho Government was and is superior
TO either OF tho other coordinate
branchcs-tho Judicial and the Lcgis-
lative departments.
The United States Senate rejected
tho treaty negotiated by the Hxecu.
tive Dcpar tmcnt OF tho Government
and 1t has left tho responsibility at
the door OF President Wilson, the
official head OF the Executive Depart
mont Of tho Government. Now, the
Supreme Court, representing the Ju-
dicial Department OF the Government
declines to set aside the prohibition
act and goes out OF it's way in meas.
ure to declare that the Volstend pro-
hihi'ion act can be ended by presi-
dental proclamation or by demobili-
cation, that is by the final disband-
ing of the troops mustered into SER
vice on account of the war.
President Wilson had previously
requested the Congress. representing
the Legislative Department Of the
Government to repeal the Volstead
II has not done so. The other two
branches OF this Government have
therefore passed issues up to tho
President Of The United States ana
there is a strong suspicion that pol
tiles is at the bottom of the whole
affair. That President Wilson is
deeply Inundated and disappoin' cd
man seems evident. His desire OF n
lifetime has been denied and he will
retire to private life with n feeling
that even his party associates have
done much to humiliate and ruin
him In the eyes OF the civilized world
Men who advocate and espouse great
principles will view with regret tho
present condition or affairs in this
nation and other nations.

principles and thoroughly imbuea

SIGHT WELL WORTH SEEING
Times Furnish Spectacles Nothing
Short of Remarkable.

The spectacle of rain, fire and flood
all occurring at the same time, is not
an unusual sight in some of the can
yons near Los Angeles, says the Scien.
tifie American. The most notable ex-
ample is near Santa Monica, which is
on the southern coast of California.
The precipitous sides of the canyons
debauching into the Pacific ocean in
that vicinity are composed of clay and
shale. Whenever rain falls on these
rocks, great clouds of steam rise from
the canyons. The canyon crests and
faces are crowned by vitrifed rock
burned dull red.
1t is reported by the early histp-
rians that when the Mission fathers
visited this region $50 years age the
natives avoided these places. They
claimed that these mysterious canyons
were the abode of evil spirits and the
Indians could not be induced to guide
the priests to their vicinity.
Actual fame has also been reported
In one of these canyons. Hence the
occasional newspaper accounts of ac-
tive volcanoes" near the coast of Cal
lfornis. The phenomena are evident
ly due to fires in the petroleum-bear-
ms sbales which crop out in these re-
sions The cause of the fires is I'M
certain. They may be started by light
ming or they may be a case of sponta-
neous combustion.

The new Lower Wakefield township
school truck makes two round trips
daily between the township schools
and the Edgewood school. Joseph
Briggs is in charge of the truck. An
attempt was made to secure better
trolley service for the pupils who
connect with the truck but without
success.
Poor service on the Newtown
trolley line discrepancies the High
School, Principal Cannon Ross, of
Doylestown, told the School board,
Monday night. 1t appears that about
twenty pupils use the trolley road
daily between Wycombe and the
County Seat to come to the Doyles-
town schools, and that the arrange
ment of the two hour schedule and
the irregular running of the cars has
resulted in the out-of-town pupils
along the line being about half an
hour late, so that the class schedules
are thrown out.

Owing to the effects OF the war
and the influenza epidemic, the num-
ber OF term extension districts is
larger than usual this year The ap-
preparation of 100000 has stood
since 1910. The excess paid dur
Ing 1888 is due TO the uneXpend-
ed balance left over from the appro-
priation OF 1917. The general as
sembly, however, has always pro
tected these weak and struggling
schools, and the state superintend-
ent will recommend a continuance Of
this policy next year. Seldom, II
ever, does the enrolment in one OF
these schools fall below ten pupils.
Wherever a small number OF pupils
is reported a careful investigation
of the facts and conditions is al

expenditure of state aid"
