COOLIDGE'S FUNCTIONS

CENATOR HARDING'S announce
~ m"nt that If elected to the presi =
dcncy he will invite Mr.. Coolidge to
attend all cabinet meetings is interest
ing, but it is not important.
\ similar announcement was made by
Mckinley when he was first nominated
He did invite Mr.. Hobart to attend
cabinet meetings and Mr.. Hobart at
tended a few of them. But legally he
was an outsider. There was nothing
that he had to do which could be affected
by decisions of the cabinet and there
was nothing that the cabinet had to
do that could be affected by anything
that Mr.. Hobart might say. The ex :
pertinent of lifting the vice presidency
into a place of Importance in the gov
ernment was abandoned and Mr.. Hobart
contented himself with presiding over
the Senate and attending dinner parties
to the ruin of his digestion.
Until some legal status is given to the
Vice President in the executive depart
ment of the government the attempt In
make the incumbent Of the Office apy-
thing more than the presiding officer q,
the Senate is likely to fail
1t has been suggested that the Vice
President be made chairman of tbe
budget commission, but il this nIsn
should be adopted 1t would put the fran
Ing Of the budget In the hands Of a man
over whom the President has no control
and would undermine executive respon :
sibility for public estimates.

STUDENTS NOT LAW EXEMPT

THE father of the Dartmouth College
i student who killed another student
in a quarrel over Illicit whisky has de :
manded the resignation of the president
of Dartmouth. He charges that the
president neglected his duty in that he
did not prevent the smuggling Of whisky
by the students.
1t would be unkind to say that a
father whose boy would engage in
whisky smuggling in violation of the
law had not done his whole duty in
training his son at home. The ques-
tion raised, however, is not one Of
parental responsibility, but one Of the
responsibility Of college authorities for
the conduct Of the students. There was
time when the young men in the, col
leges were subject to discipline similar
to that of boys in boarding schools to-
day. But it is the general assumption
now that q boy old enough to 20 to
college is old enough to be allowed
certain degree OF freedom. II his con
duct is such as to demorali2e the other
students he is usually expelled.
The conduct of the Dartmouth whisky
smugglers was certainly demoralizing
to the students. II is said that the
smugglers we're in the habit Of hiring
an automobile truck to 90 to the Cana
dian border and bring back a load of
whisky at night, which would be sold
to the other students at $18 a quart.
If this was known to the college au-
thorities they ought to explain why
they took no action to clear the campus
of the whisky and Of the men engaged
in selling il. But the federal and state
officers who failed to stop the truck on
its hundred mile run from the Canadian
border to Hanover have also some ex-
planning to do.
The public officials may say that they
have not assistants enough to prevent
the smuggling, which is said to be
common in all Of northern New Eng
land, and the college authorities NY
say that they had been seeking the
guilty students but had been unable to
get evidence against any OF them. But
if the president shall say that he as
sumes no responsibility for enforcing
the civil or the criminal laws when vio-
lated by the students, he will be taking
the position occupied by the presidents
of many other colleges. who have sue
ceeded in teaching their students that
they are not favored class by turning
them over to the public authorities when
they have been guilty of conduct for
hidden by the laws.

MAYOR ASKS BODINE
ABOUT GAS PRICES
Wants to Know If U. G. |. Plans
to Increase Bills If Stand
ard Is Changed

| Mayor Moore wants to know whether
the proposed change in the gas standard
from light to heat units will add to the
cost OF gas to consumers or will dimin-
ish the service Of gas.
The Mayor in a letter today ad-
dressed this query to Samuel r. Bo-
dine, president Of the United Gas I'm
provement Co., who advocated the
change.
Council passed an ordinance author
izing the change until January I, 1922
The measure now awaits the Mayors
signature before becoming operative.
| When the ordinance was before Coun-
Gil Councilman Cox Iniscd the question
OF a possible greater cost to consumers
and said It was estimated the heat
standard would add IS per cent to gas
The Mayors letter follows:
There Ia now before me for approx
a. or disapproval an ordinance OF Coun-
ell authorizing the temporary suspen.
sion OF the operation Of Clause 0 Of
the ordinance approved November 12,
1897. relative to the lease Of the Phila-
delphia gas works so far only as relates
to the candlepower required therein,
which contains proviso that the
change in the agreement as aforesaid
shall be conditioned upon the company
executing an agreement with the city Of
Philadelphia containing such terms and
conditions including a minimum re.
Guirement Of $50 for daily average Of
British thermal units. as the Mayor
may consider to be fair and just under
all circumstances
"Since the Council has thus i'm.
posed upon the Mayor the duty OF
determining what is fair and just under
oil circumstances I request. before
acting upon the ordinance, to be advised
ty you whether the temporary suspen-
sion Of Clause o, which substitutes the
heat or British thermal unit standard
for the light or. candlepower standard,
such Substitution being in the interests
OF the United Gas Improvement Co. and
for the purpose of saving fuel. will add
TO the cost of gas to the consumer as
provided for In the agreement Of No
vcm Der IL, 1897, or will work any
diminution of the service to the disad-
vantage of the consumer"
Mr.. Bodine said recently he believed
gas service would be improved and the
| cost to the consumer no greater.

ANCESTRAL PROMPTINcS

WHEN Charley Barr used to sail the
w cup defenders, Americans of the
1lO per cent variety were occasionally
slightly annoyed on being reminded
that, although citizen OF the United
states, the gallant skipper was native
OF tn" United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland
But Qualms concerning the nativity
and ancestry Of the present director OF
operations on the Resolute are alto
gethcr untcnab,c. Skipper Charles Fran
els Adams is the grandson of the Adams
OF the same name who was ambassador
to Great Britain during the critical
period of the Civil War, and he is con
sequentIy the great grandson of Presi-
dent John Quincy Adams and the
great great grandson Of President John
Adams.
All this is rcassuring. 1t is especially
interesting. however, as offering o field
for speculation. When the throat hal
yards parted the other day, was possi-
bly, the influence of his distinguished
forebcarS and kinsmen traceablc in the
language and sentiments of the de-
tenders commander? Was it his ever
''uneducated" Uncle Henry's classic
phrascoloGy that he echoed or the poised
critical temper of his great grand
fathers celebrated treatise on weights
and measures?
On the whole, it seems reasonable to
suggest that Skipper Adams explored
even deeper into the past. Sturdy old
John Adams was altogether unafraid
OF his emotions. The Democrats of his
day were quite cognizant of the Adams
temper So very likely were those
throat halyards, had they been sentient
and were ancestry on the job.

THE TICKET ABUSE

hlHECIOk CORTELIOU may in
tend to prevent policemen from
peddling tickets for picnics and balls,
but his statement on the subject does
not 80 quite far enough to satisfy those
who are opposed to the custom.
He says there will be no compelling
OF men in the police department to buy
tickets for political affairs" and "where
man is willing or anxious to buy the
tickets a different aspect will be given
to the Affair."
The abuse of which complaint is
made is that the politicians have forced
the policemen to buy tickets to picnics
and balls. The abuse of which the
public complains is that the policemen
ask householdcrs and business men to
buy the tickets which the politicians
have made them take.
The only remedy lies in an order
comprehensive enough to prevent the
police from buying tickets against their
VIII and to prevent them from Offering
them to the public under any circum-
stances. When man dependent for
the protection of his property on the
eood will of the officer on his street is
asked to buy ticket he feels that he
cannot refuse. A form of moral CO.
ercion Is used, which ought not to be
tolerated. An exception may be made
In the case of tickets for entertainments
Tor the benefit of the police pension
fund, but the wisdom of making any
exception Is doubtful. The city ought
to pay adequate salaries to the police
and provide pensions for them when they
are retired so as to make It unnec =.
essary for them to solicit the help of
the citizens to increase the pension
fund.
