FRANCES NEW PRESIDENT.

In the United States our presiden-
6al campaigns overlap. No sooner
do we elect a president than We begin
to speculate on the possibility Of his
reelection and to lay u plans to
facilitate or to prevent that result, ae-
cording to our political complexion
and our estimate Of the individual.
Two things contribute to the constant
agitation of our country by p%residen-
tial desires and possibilities, frst, the
frequency of our presidential cleo
tons, and second, the real import
ance, the power and authority Of the
ONCE.
The president Of the United States
comes YER near being ar elected
despot. His powers are limited. of
course, but within the limits fixed he
is supreme. II he insists too strongly
on his supremacy he is likely to make
rough weather Of II, a fact Of which
VIC have bad some very conspicuous
illustrations recently. Nevertheless.
within the limits fixed by the consti-
tuition the president is supreme. He
is not responsible to any legislative
body or to any person or persons ex-
cept the whole body of the people.
A new president Of France has Just
been elected. The gathering at which
this was done has been aptly de-
scribed as a sumptuous social func-
ton. To those of us who are familiar
with the strenuosity Of a presidential
election on this side the occasion
seems very tame. And. the new presi-
dent having been elected. the little
hurry Of interest which was aroused
by the event viii subside. to be re-
vivcd no more until very shortly be-
fore the next election some seven
years hence
The president Of France is, by vir-
tue Of hB Office. a dignifed figure
head. Hi position corresponds much
more nearly to that of the king of
England than to that Of t~heapresident
Of the United Staes. Like the king,
it may be said OF him that he reigns
hut does not rule. The real political
power Of France is vested in the
premier. a. is the real political power
of England vested in her premier.
In each case the official head Of the
state IS a dignifed perxonage. ex-
ceodingiy influential, It may be. but
almost entirely without actual power.
Paul Descanel, the new president,
is d brilliant and eminent man. Tis
life has been passed in the duties of
atAtesmanship, and his long service
and vide experience ought to enable
him to WELD in full measure the in
fuence which belongs to his position,
and which, under the French system,
takes the place of actual power.

The good Lord UNDERWOOD us when he taught us how to SMILE.
He knew " couldn't stand it to be solemn all the while; 49,. !.
We could let u neighbors know 1T in a quick and easy Wy
So He touched the lips Of Adam and He touched tho lips II Eve.
And He said: Let these be solemn when you sorrows make o 9rtsva
But when all is well in Eden and o u life seems much worth Wills,
Let your faces year the glory and the sunlight OF a smile -
Teach tho symbol to your children, pA it down threushout the years
They shall know their share Of sadness and shall weep their share Of tears;
But forever throush the ages men shall prove their faith in Me
By the smile upon their faces when their hearts are troub1e.froe"
The good Lord understood Va when He sent US down to earth,
He knew u need for laughter and far happy signs OF mirth;
He knew We couldn't stand It to ba solemn all the while, s
But must share our joy with others-$o He taught us how to smile.

with equal facility and effectiveness
proceed in utter disregard of every
other provision that the constitution
contains.
In a decision which upholds every
essential contention Of those who
have insisted that the enactment of
such aflaw as House Bill so was not
within the power of the Legislature,
four OF the five supreme court judges
declare the bill imperative before the
constitutional time, July /. In other
words. they have declared that the
constitution of North Dakota, in
spite of the assaults made upon it. is
still a living thing, endowed with
force and authority. That constitu-
ton is the voice of the people, the
means by which they have conferred
authority on legislatures, and courts,
and governors. the instrument which
desisnates the manner in which their
work is to be performed, and which
fixes the limits within which their
work must, be done. The constitution
Of North Dakota still lives.
As to the present status, n COM
ment must be speculative until the
full text of the several opinions is
received. From the synopsis of the
decision already received, however,
certain things stand out as reasonably
certain. ~
First, House Bill so is not op.r-
alive, and cannot become operative
prior to July 1, unless and until the
people themselves by their independ-
ent act make it so. The initiative and
referendum provisions tof the consti-
tuition make it possible for the people
to take early action ON his or sany
other legislation which interests
them. 1t is clear that the people may
initiate the substance Of this bill, as
new matter. either as a statute sor as
a constitutional amendment, and in
either of these a may give it eff
feet by a majority vote. 1t is not
quite clear from that portion Of the
opinion received whether or not the
court holds that the measure may be
made operative through the refer
endum, although, because of the
reference to other bills, this is the
Implication.
The adoption Of House Bill 60, in
substance or in form. whether as an
amendment or a statute, will affect
only laws enacted subject to it's final
ratification. This is made clear by
these words in the opinion:
The acts adopted at such spe-\
cial session, not as emergency
measures, Senate Bill 40, chang
ing the composition Of the state
auditing board. and House Bill
~, altering and reducing the
state budget, do not become OPP
eratire as laws until July /, 1920,
UNLESS MADE SUBJECT TO A
REFERENDUM TO THE I'EO-
PILE. AND SOONER RATIFIED,
BY TILE PEOPLE AT AN
ELECTION PURSUANT TO
THE CONSTITUTION! 4
