In making amendments to that docu-
ment, which declares that amendments
shall be effective "whcn ratified by the
legislatures of three fourths of the sew
eral states or by conventions in three
fourths thereof, as the one or the other
mode of ratification may be proposed by
Congress.
Congress directed that the prohibi
tory amendment should be ratified by
the legislatures of the states. 1t has
been contendcd that the ratification was
not effective in those states which had
directed that amendments should be
submitted to. the voters after the legis :
lature had acted.
The supreme Courts decision means
that the states may not of their own
volition change the method of ratifica
tion provided for by the constitution
and that they may not call in the people
TO indorse or reject what their legisla &.
lures have done.
The amendment. therefore, is con
stitutionally ratified.
The same reasoning applies. OF
course, to the suffrage amendment when
thirty six legislatures ratfy.
There remain to be decided the valid
ity of the prohibition amendment and
the validity of the Volstead act, which
limits the alcoholic content Of bcycr
ages to one half of | per cent.

HIGH COSTS OF EASE

TN APRIL the state employment scrv-
j ice was asked to fill more than
40 900 jobs that We're going begging in
the Industries and on the farms in Penn
sylvania. Current dispatches indicate
that the demand in the present month
will be even greater and that the need
for all sorts Of labor is now almost as
acute and pressing as it was during the
busiest months of the war boom. How
many people will read in this news a
fresh commentary on the causes of high
prices?
4 II is clear that general slump in
national energy has had much to do
with the CurtailmPnt of production,
which is the basic cause of upward
prices. How true this is will bp ap
parent in the autumn when the country
tbsgins to demand food from fields but
~ rtly titled. There were few people
,<<wno didn't save some money during the
I first, rush of war prosperity. What i,
clear now is that great many people
are not disposed to toll ovormUch unless
they feel a definite need to do SO. They
as well as proftecrs are to blame for
much of the high cost of living.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY

CENATOR EDGE, Of New Jersey,
~ has made an excellent suggestion
in his recent statement that the Vice
President Of the United States should
be something more than a tgurchead.
1t is strange but true that what should
be the second highest Office in the coun-
try in the gift Of the people should be
regarded as political grave and
therefore an Office which no man of am
bition really wants.
The strenuous days in Philadelphia
when tho Republican national conven-
tion met here TO nominate Mckinley for
the second time are still vividly remem-
bcrcd. It was the idea then to have
Roosevelt accept the nomination for
the vice presidency. position he ac-
ccpted only after the greatest pressure
had been brought to bear upon him.
Other national conventions have shown
that men of force do not want the nom
ination any more than did Mr.. Roose-
welt. who finally yielded to what he con-
sidered to be for the best interests of
the country and his party, even at a
great personal sacrifice.
The vice presidency should be consid-
cred an honor second only to the presi-
dency itself But it will not be so re-
garded until some more specific duties
and opportunities are given to the in
cumbent of the Office. AS at present
constituted the vice presidency is not
a fitting place for men of experience
and ability. Until this condition is
changed, the election of men of ad-
mittedly presidential caiber to the vice
presidency will always be difficult. That
this should be, in view of the uncer-
tainty Of human life, goes without say
ing.
1t was not the intention of the
trainers of the constitution that the
vice presidency should be what the Office
has degenerated into today. Originally
the man receiving the highest number
,f votes for President was elected to
that Office and the man receiving the
second highest number became Vice
President. This shows more clearly
than anything else could the original
conception of the fathers of the country
toward this now underestimate office.
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were
both Vice Presidents before they be-
came the Chief Executives of the nation.
Here again politics has entered in, to
the dotriment of the best service of the
country. For years past it has been the
custom to select the vice presidential
candidate from doubtful but important
state. in order to secure the votes nee
cssary to carry that state. How greatly
this policy is at variance with the in
tontion of the founders Of the country
that the best men for this position
should be chosen it is not necessary to
point out.
senator Edge suggests that the Vice
President take charge of the national
budget under the bill just passed by
Congress. Whether this is feasible re-
mains to be seen as the details of the
budget system are cleared up, but there
is no doubt that something should be
lone to make tho Office more attractive
to men of affairs.

FARES BY HEIGHT

COLOMON said that there is nothing
~ new under the sun. but then the
wisest of men never had any experience
with the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company. That organization has done
some unique things. but it fairly sur!
passed itself yesterday when it requested
OF the Public Service Commission per.
mission to charge n full fare for all
riders more than thirty one inches in
height.
Heretofore from time immpmorial
children under three years of age have
been carried free, but this age honOred
custom now goes by the board and a
linear instead of an age limit is to be
used. Many and violent were the ar
guments between conductors and par
,ents as to the age of the infant in
question, and therefore as to whether
or not fare should be paid Perhaps the
beneficent purpose of the transit com.
pany officials is to end these arguments
because while there might be some
legitimate question as to age. there can
s be none as to heighta provided both
parties agree on the accuracy of the
measure employed.
Inc details OF the measuring are not
given in the notice filed by the Rapid
Transit Company. Will the measure
be taken to the top of the hair or to
the top of the head? If the former
pompadours for children will go out OF
favor, for no parent will want to pay

And we see our little cottage
Set back from the shady street
With the hollyhocks a-booming
And the air is pure and sweet.
Then we sigh for that bright some day
When our hearts shall know no care
As we snuggle close together
On the creaking Morris chair,
As we sink into that rapture
Leaving earth and cares behind
Comes our love so gently stealing
Filling heart and soul and mind
Earthly treasures could not give n.
