Excluding a EEalf

The other day an inQuiring reporter
(the war is over and interest in nor
NAL matters Yevives) asked five young
ladies, picked at random in the business
district, concerning their choice in men.
The quintet conceded in their prefer
ences--all did not hesitate to declare
they liked the dark ones best. One Of
fered a gratuitous insult to the other
sort by saying that blends are deceitfu.
We don't know whether the replies are
representative, but as far as they go
they furnish another bit of evidence that
styles in men are changing The light
are going out and the dark coming
in. Perhaps it is an unconscious war
reaction and indicates that the aversion
to the blond beast which Nietschke
hailed as superman is deeper than has
been supposed. The fair haired and light
of eye and complexion, after centuries
of vogue and eulogy, have had their day.
Exit the so-called Saxon type and enter
the Latin. Farewell to peroxide and wei
come to nitrate Of silver. Perhaps it is
just. Moreover, it is easier to be an arti-
fetal brunette than an artificial blond.
But, irrespective of where the prefer
ence fell, the fact that one was prompt
ly and emphatically proclaimed is not
without significance. 1t suggests the
greater particularly which has come
in with feminine economic independence.
lime was when the young women were
more catholic, because of an instructive
realization that Of both types of men
there were scarcely enough to go around
Now there is indifference to this consid-
GRAFTON.
The motto is bachelor blessedness if
you can't get precisely what you want.
1t is necessary to revise the verse which
says in regard to the old kind of girl:
Or light or dark. or short or tall
She sets a syringe to catch them all;
ALPS one to her-above her fan
She'd make sweet eyes at Caliban.
On the other hand the stupider but
more constant sex blunders along in old
ways and can't keep up with progress.
1t does not presume to dictate the color
scheme of the delectable. They take the
goods the gods provide and in their dull
and non-discriminating way are happy.

men shouting with gusto the refrain of

Not a Prime Minister

What is the purpose behind the policy
which the President fol- vs. with respect
to the other department. the govern
ment and in his genera. handling of
public questions?
The explanations commonly circulated
do not altogether satisfy. The President
does not lack in intellectual CAPACITY or
firmness Of will = is not an arrogant
lgnoramus, as was Andrew johnson, or
q weakling in will, as was highly in
telligent James Buchanan.
Nor is it possible to trace the policy
to wrong-headedness with respect to the
particular issues. The tendencies which
mystify his fellow citizens, although
thrown into relief by the war issues,
were manifest long before hostilities be-
gan in Europe
Nor IS excessive partisanship an
adequate explanation. The President
though willing to use his party to adj
vance his aims, has seldom put devotion
to party first. He is strongly mugwump
in his mental bias Moreover, his course
is antlpodal to that traditionallv upheld
by the political organization of which
ne is a member. More than Hamilton
he is an ant-Jeffcrson-is an upsetter
of the work Of the Jefferson who believed
IN diffused government and was violently
hostile to centralization President VII
son scarcely processes even life-alle
Chances to state rights-cares little or
nothing for states as conceived by Demo-
cratic theorists.
The most plausible explanation ia that
the President, for what he thinks are
good and patriotic reasons, seeks to alter
the governments character-apDarentl
entertalns deep-seated conviction that
a government Of independent powers and
separated departments is a great blum
der. He is persuaded that the evils Of
dlsunlty are greater than those of con-
centrated power. Americans have found
1t difficult to locate responsibility when
public business went wrong. He would

The Munich Terror, Russian Style

& TRANGELY enough, it was quiet, back
~ ward Bavaria, with its sleeping viii
ages and it's Catholic population,
largely reactonary and somewhat stupid,
a peasant land with little industry and
without much wealth, that took the lead in
the German revolution. The Bavarians
themselves, indolent and avorse to radical
experiments, did not effect this revolution.
1t was a small group of Jealous revolu-
tionaries led by Kurt Esner which. on No.
vember 8, 1918, overthrew the centuries
old kingdom Of the Wittelsbachs like
mousse OF cards. The people Of Munich went
to bed as usual on November 7, railing at
the thin war beer, and awoke astonished
on November as citizens Of the first Ger

another type. At their head stood the Rus

Spartaclst riots in Berlin, where a warrant

A New Mascagni Opera
tFron, The Buffalo Erpress)

1Fron' The BN6alo Erpress)
Pietro Mascagni, composer of "Cavallera
Rusticana," has written a new opera entitled
I'll Piccolo Marata." The theme is the con-
hict of ideas between the autocrat and the
democrat; between oppression and freedom.
The characters are not personal, but repre-
sent ideals. The evolution Of man is de-
picted in song. If Signor Mascagni comes to
America to produce his latest creation, let US
hope that he finds American hearts and
American purses open to welcome him. His
last experience here, when he hardly accu,nu-
lated steamboat fare home, was not cacu-
lated to inspire confidence in our cordialty.

but as a constitutional OVerhaullng is
difficult if not impossible a series of
encroaching interpretations and prac
tees are relied on to bring the desired
result.
In the form of theory the Cabinet
system is attractive to many Americans.
It is direct, understandable, responsible,
secures maximum Of democracy. But
scrutiny shows what is proposed is not
the Cabinet system at all but only half
of it.
The Cabinet system in essence is, first,
a union of legislative and executive
powers, and, second, a continuous current
responsibility to freely elected legis-
iature 3r parliament. While in Office q
Cabinet has all powers, but en- be
turned out 10 an hour by vote of no
confidence. Thus is linked efficiency and
responsibility.
Vow the Presidents programme is
practically I blank with respect to plac-
ing his incumbency at she mercy Of Con-
gress or any one. II the Cabinet system
is not imported intact little can be said
for bringing it over at 81.
In q general way The President has
conceded the principle ~f responsibility
ard has said II President SHOULD be re-
sponsible to public opinion But public
opinion cannot express itself unless pro
vided with some sort Of trumpet The
press is not to be accepted as carrying
it's voice, and accelerated mass meetings
are unsatisfactory. Concerning disputed
matters no one knows what the majority
thinks or wants. If there is RESPONSE
biity to public opinion there must be
definite ways for it to declare itself.
Now, only once in four years is there
Presidential election, and it is appar-
emily no part Of the Presidents plan to
hold himself ready to resign during his
term. Thus it would appear that or
but one day out of 1,461 would a Pres-
dent be responsible A fixed term is
incompatible with the Cabinet system
is destructive OF it's heart and life.
1t is theoretically possible to have the
Cabinet system in this country, and this
without altering the letter Of the Con-
stitution. Only the President and the
Vice-President have fixed terms. Other
wise the Presidential succession is as
Congress fixes. Should it become polti-
cal practice for President and Vice
President to resign, when Congress votes
its lack of confidence, and should Con-
gress provide for the succession to fall
to some functionary named by it and
serving at its pleasure, there would be
the foundation Of Cabinet system. The
British have shown how easy it is to
devise similar fictions-indeed, the Brit
ish Cabinet system rests on fiction
scarcely more artificial than the one
outlined above
But no sign comes that the President
desires to become responsible during his
term. Thus he is not endeavoring to
give u.s. Cabinet and the boon of a
lis you" government, and an -explana-
ton Of his course that is significantly
plausible breaks down and why he does
as he does sinks deeper and deeper into
mystery.

Our War on I.eniE,e

President Wilson's letter explaining
why American soldiers are retained in
Siberia deity minimizes the military
character of their mission The troops,
it is said, are to serve solely as railroad
guards. They are to repel attempts to
interrupt traffic on the Transsiberian
Railroad
The President is careful to describe
such attempts as being made by "parti-
san bands under leaders having no set
tied connection with any organized gov
eminent and bands under leadership
whose allegiance to any settled author
lty is apparently temporary and transi-
tory This description adroitly covers
not only mere marauders, but Bolshevist
lrregulars-perhaps, also. organized
Bolshevist forces.
The safeguarding of the Transsiberi-
an Railroad is a legacy transmitted to
US from the early days of the Rus
sian Revolution. The Lvoff government
solicited our aid in this task and the in
vltatlon has been reextended by the in
dependent Siberian government.
The propriety of our military service
TO the Slberians-limited as it is-can-
not be doubted General Gravess force
is not making war on the Siberian peo-
pie IL has not invaded hostile coun-
try. Nevertheless, it's presence on
Siberian soil and it's assistance to the
elDerlans constitute acts of war against
Lenines government, which treats ST.
oerla as rebellious province and is
surviving to reconquer it. By whatever
form of words it is softened. the fact
remains that the President officially adj
mlts that we are doing things in Siberia
which en- involve US in state of war with
the soviet regime. ''''' ~
Such state of war has. of course
existed for more than a wear, although
not officially recognized. American SOL
dlers have fought the Bolshevists in
northern Russia. They have helped to
scatter Lenine's armed Siberian SUM-
porters. The United States and the En-
tente Allies would long ago have over
thrown Lenine's soviet government bv
force If they had not been deferred bv
the effort and cost of such an under
taking
were our government to withdraw
she troops now in Siberia, as it has al
xeady withdrawn most of the troops in
Russia proper, some color could be given
TO the claim that we had ceased to make
war on Lenlne. But so long as General
Graves's guards remain along the
Transsiberian Railroad we shall be actin
ally at war with him.
And if this is the case, why not frank
~ face the consequences of the situa-
ton? If Lenine is our enemy, why not
