Fee Disappearing Along
With Turkish Authority
Though Moslerns Wear Badges
i'm Streets They No Longer
CLING to Them Indoors

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 25.-With
the crumbling Of Turkish authority
and influence, the fez, the badge which
all Turkish subjects, Christians, Jews
and Turks alike, are supposed to wear,
is rapidly disappearing. Although the
Moslems still wear their fezzes in the
streets. they no longer cling to them
slavishly indoors. Soon the Turks may
be wearing hats with brims in Con-
stantinople. Moslems in other parts of
Turkey insist the Mahometans in the
capital lost their religion lang ago
through their desire to initiate the in
fidels.
AS all heads must remain covered in
the mosques and it is impossible to
touch ones forehead to prayer rug
while wearing hat with brim, the
fez is indispensable to the faithful
Moslem who prays daily with face
turned to Mecca. Even military and
naval officers must wear visorless caps.
The fez still prevails in Anatolian
cities. In fact, it is unsafe for for
elgner, to wear a hat in many of them
unless he desires to attract q crowd
Of hooting small boys and run the risk
of starting q riot. Osman Agha, the
terrorist governor Of Kerrassunde, re-
Gently checked the tendency of non
Moslems in that city to get away from
cid customs.
An Armenian, who had just returned
from Russia, walked along the main
street of the little city wearing a
tiff-brimmed straw hat. It was worse
than wearing q straw hat on the New
York Stock Exchange after che season
had passed. Osman Agha grabbed the
"a. from the Armenian's head, slashed
the crown from the rim with his saber,
JaDmed the crown down on the Ar
r,enian's head, hitting it heavy blow
with the saber, and warning the I'M
fortunate chap never again to appear
in Kerrassunde in such unholy head
gear unless he wanted to go to Jail.

Harding and Cox Both
For Physical Education
Each Candidate Endorses Ma.
tional Service Program to
Improve America's Health

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1e.-support
or the movement for universal physi-
cal education is expressed by Senator
Harding and Governor Cox in letters
made public here tonight by the Ma
tional Physical Education Service. The
letters were in response to an inquiry
by the service.
Senator Harding in his letter re-
called that the war draft disclosed that
between Is and 80 per cent of the young
men examined were incapacitated fox
service and that examination of chill
dren in the public schools has shown
nearly 90 per cent have minor or ma
]or physical Deficiencies
Il believe, therefore, that neces-
sary task is before US; We must remedy
that condition. We must strength en-
our national health service; we must
not allow that service to become die
totorlal and bureaucratic, but we must
use it to educate and stimulate action
by our communities and our citizen
ship.
Governor Cox said he was Gin full
agreement" with tho views of the ser
vice with reference to one Of the
outstanding lessons of the war;" and
added:
1--WE have been giving more atten-
ton to the perfection of the physical
humanity. If there had been anything
like the prevalence Of diseases among
livestock such as has been registered
in the young manhood Of the country
we would have heard the alarm sounded
long ago."

Cox will Open His
SOuthernC California
Campaign Tod ay
Obtains Much Needed Rest
Sunday and Confers With
DemocraticL Leaders; Plans
for Sam Diego Changed

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19.--Governor
Cox passed through here tonight on
his way to open his Southern California
campaign tomorrow at San Diego.
Leaving Oakland, where he spoke last
night, the Governor spent to-day trav-
cling along the coast route. He passed
the day quietly, obtaining needed rest
from his rapid-fre visit in the bay
cities. He also discussed the loca,
campaign with Representative Ketner,
Of ASH Diego, anG Isadore Dockweiler,
Democratic national committeeman for
California, who joined the Governors
train at San Jose to participate in the
southern state effort.
Governor Cox will speak tomorrow
noon in San Diego theater. Plans for
an open air address, where President
Wilson spoke about year ago, were
the Governors throat, which was i'm
proved by to-day's rest, but by the in
door meeting It was desired to save his
voice as much as possible. The Gov
ernor is due at San Diego early to-mor-
row for sightseeing tour and recep-
ton before his noon address.
Leaving San Diego at p. m. to-mor-
rom, Governor Cox will return to Los
Angeles for an evening address. On
Tuesday he will speak at Long Beach
and address Los Angeles club women
and the California Editors Association
in Los Angeles, speaking later at San
Bernardino on his way East through
Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyom-
ing ard the Missouri Valley states.

EDINBURGH, Aug. e. The cam

which enables the electors to decide by

requisitien forms demanding q poll on

In order to secure poll 10 per cent

taking Of the vote which will decide
whether the people shall have no
licenses or fewer licenses in their own

Board of Estimate
Us Asked to Check
Budget Increases
Wild Scramble for Unlimited
Allowances Pointed Out
by Mayor; Warns Against
Heavy Taxpayers Burden

An appeal by Mayor ,Hylan to the
members of the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment in which he asks as
sistance in an effort to 'put a check
to demands for tremendous increases
in the 1921 budget" has just been
made public. 1t follows:
The responsibility for the new
budget rests upon the Board of Es-
innate and Apportionment, which ap-
propristes the money required for the
various activities Of the city govern
ment. AS chairman of the board, I
am asking your cooperation in an effort
to put check upon the demands for
tremendous increases in the 1921
budget, as approval of the appropria-
tions requested would mean a budget
in excess of the constitutional limit. !
There has been a wild scramble for
unlimited appropriations. No regard
has apparently been had for the re-
sulting burden upon the taxpayers. 1t
Estimate and Apportionment to give
prompt attention to Che many large
requests made.
"A higher budget means a higher tax
rate, and the taxpaying community is
entitled to some relief. The Legisla-
ture, through mandatory legislation,
has added many billions to the load
borne by the taxpayers. No blame at
taches to the city government and it
shares no responsibility for the financial
burden imposed by mandatory legis-
lation. There is. however, an obliga-
ton resting upon US to see that the
staggering burdens placed upon the
taxpayers are not increased Through
lack of economy in the expenditure of
the funds over which we exercise con-
troll. We will spend the city's money
wisely if all requests for funds are
scrutinized closely and approval given
only in the order Of their relative
need. An inflated budget cannot re-
suit if this insistent attention be given
by all responsible officials.
Il am absolutely confident that you
have the best interests of the city at
heart and are keenly alive to the ne
cessity Of saving the city's money
through economy of administration
AS | am but one member of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment, there
is need of your fullest help and sup
port if the problem of the rapidly
mounting budget is to be successfully
attacked and the budget for 1921 re-
duced to the minimum consistent with
effective municipal administration.
JOHN F. HYLAN."

BY William Howard Taft

The thirty-six members Of the Ten
nessee House Of Representatives, who
fed the state to avoid their sworn
duty as legislators, returned some days
later, after the vote Of both houses had
been. certified to the Secretary Of State
by the Governor and the adoption Of
the Nineteenth Amendment had been
proclaimed. Thay made a quorum in
the House by their presence, and, find
ing that they and rneir associate op-
ponents Of suffrage had fortYAseven
votes and a majority in the absence of
four or five suffrage supporters, they
tried to undo what had been done.
They expunged from the record the
vote by which the motion to reconsider
the suffrage vote had been voted down
They did this on the ground that there
had been no quorum when the vote was
taken. and 80 there was no power to
take the vote. They then proceeded to
reconsider the original vote in favor
OF the suffrage resolution and to vote
the resolution down. They advised the
Senate of the action.
The generally accepted view has been
that this proceeding is futile, does not
invalidate the original vote and does
not affect the adoption Of the amend
ment as proclaimed. The precedent re-
lied on is that furnished by the rati.
flcation of the Fifteenth Amendment
One New York Legislature approved
the amendment. Its successor voted
it down. Thereafter the amendment
was proclaimed as adopted by reason
of the first vote, the accepted holding
being that as the State aLegislature
has once approved an amendment il
cannot withdraw from it's ratification
Questions Power of House
1t is questionable, however, whethe,
such precedent applies to a vote In
favor Of a resolution. Under the rules
Of the legislative BODY the resolution
is retained by q motion to reconsider
as it was here. Certainly had the mo-
ton to reconsider been called up the
next day with q quorum present the
vote might have been reconsidered and

William Howard Taft
Discusses
Power of Tennessee House

voted down, and tho passage of the
resolution have been defeated.
Do the facts, that in violation Of the
house rules the passage Of the resolu-
ton by the house had been certified
to the Senate, its passage by both
houses had been certified to the Gov
ernor, and by him certified to the Fed
erals Secretary Of State and that the
latter on the strength of this certifi-
cate had proclaimed the adoption of
the amendment, take away from the
Tennessee house with a quorum, power
to reconsider the original vote on the
resolution and defeat it? AS already
intimated in these columns, court
will be Industrious to find presump-
tons from the record which will multi
fly the subsequent action of the lower
Tennessee house and sustain the con-
clusiveness of the certificates.
Question Must Be Settled
But the question is not so entirely
free from doubt that the utmost pains
should not be taken to remove it, even
though the later action in Connecticut
makes the question merely academic
! 1t will be a great disaster if ques-
ton were seriously raised as to the
validity Of the national election of a
president by reason OF subsequent
judicial decision that the suffrage
! amendment had not passed.
Before Tennessee's action Governor
Holcomb, of Connecticut, would rot
call the Legislature Of Connecticut to
vote on the ratification of the suffrage
amendment because he did not think
there existed such an emergency as the
state constitution required to enable
him to summon an extra session. The
| possibility of disputed national cleo
ton has been entirely removed by
Connecticut's prompt ratification. We
may hope that Governor Clement, of
Vermont, may now be induced to take
a similar view Of his duty after what
has happened. Now that Connecticut
has wisely ratified, the Secretary of
State, without conceding irregularity
or defeat in his first proclamation
could properly. because Of the protest
already made. issue a second proclama-
ton reciting the additional ratiAca-
tions and confirming his previous &C
ton.
