NOT SUFFICIENT REASON

(From N. Y. Times, Democratic.)
Until President Wilson raised the
point there has never been any ques-
tion of the legality or constitutional
ity of these procedures Cabinet meet
ings) Of all men in the United
States President Wilson should have
been most wary of raising that ques-
ton. 1t was known early in October
that he could not attend Cabinet meet
ings. If Congress had then accepted
the theory which Mr.. Wilson now pro-
pounds, that the Cabinet could do
nothing without his presence, and
consequently that Government bust
ness was at a standstill, Congress
might have felt it to be its duty to
ascertain whether, in respect to the
President the condition described by
Article III, Section 5, of the Constitu-
tion as Inability to discharge the
powers and duties of said office" ac-
tually existed. Had constitutional in
ability been ascertained and declared,
the powers and duties of the Presi-
dents office would at once have been
devolved on the Vice President. That
eventually, we are very sure, would
have been much more distasteful to
President Wilson than Secretary Lam
sings temporary and, as it seems to
US and to the people of the country,
absolutely necessary assumption Of
the power to bring the Cabinet men,
bers together in informal conferences.

PLAN STATEWIDE
FARM ACCOUNTING

East Lansing, Feb. ga state
wide campaign to secure definite in
formation on farm production costs
by means of accounting workAhas been
launched by the cooperation of the
Michigan State Grange and the Mich
igan Agricultural College.
Farm account books are to be dis
tributed among grange members of
the state, and these books, when re-
turned with full year records, will
furnish basis for reliable figures on
production costs. The data furnished
by individual farmers is to be consid-
cred as strictly confidential, and no
names will be given out in any re-
ports.
Summaries of the individual rec
ords will be made by the Farm Man
agement Demonstration at the college,
who will send out reports of the gen.
eral results on behalf Of the grange
and the college.
A crops supplement, by means of
which farmers will be able to get at
cost of production figures on individu-
al farm crops, has been included with
the farm accounting books which are
being distributed, and is expected to
provide valuable statistics for the
work.
The objects of the projects, as sum-
married. by c. II. Graves, farm man.
agement demonstrators at M. A. c., are
as follows:
1. To determine the financial re-
turns of representative types of farm
ing.
2. To discover the features of the
business that have the greatest eff
feet in raising or in lowering farm
profits.
3. To determine the practices of
the different farmers in producing the
principal crops at the lowest cost per
unit.
a. To furnish reliable and up-to-
date data to send out to. the farmers

forces of the Grange ard The College.

GET SCHOLARSHIPS

East Lansing, Feb. 23-Champions
in both county and state divisions of
Boys and Girls club work are. to be
awarded scholarships sufficient to
meet their entrance fees at the Mich
igan Agricultural College, according
to announcement made recently by R.
A. Turner, state leader of club work.

lege will be given the equivalent of the
matriculation and incidental fees for
onesyear@a total of $50. State cham
pions who enter the siXteen-weeks
short course will be awarded $25, a
sum equal to the entrance fees for the
two years. County champions who en-
ter the sixteen-weeks short course win
$15 scholarships, or enough to defray
entrance fees for one year.
Added interest in the boys and
girls club work in the different coun-
ties of the state is expected to follow
the scholarship awards. The winners
in the different counties will be de-
termined by the county agent or club
leader, with the state leader serving
where there is no farm bureau.
The scholarships were made posi-
BILE when the State Board of Agricul-
ture adopted resolutions which pro-
vided for the awards, at their last
meeting.

Washington Letter.
WHITE HOUSE COVERED
FAVORED SON OF FORD

Washington, Feb. 24-In offering
an amendment to the deficiency bill
requiring the War Department tfo fur
nish copies of the draft records of the
constituents of members of Congress,
Senator Sherman of Illinois paid his
respects to Edsel Ford, son of Henry
Ford, of Michigan. Mr.. Sherman ex-
planned to the Senate how he had tried
to obtain a copy of the draft record
and reasons for exemption of young
Ford or even to read them and had
failed.
Senator Sherman characterized Ed
sci Ford as young man exempted
from military service "and coddled by
Executive order" and he held the Sem
ate should not continue the exemp-
tion "thrown around Edsel Ford by
the White House."
"His SIRE" continued Senator Sher-
man, twas the famous pacifist, the
commodore of perambulating peace
task, who would not fight himself or
permit his son to fight. He was given
special protection by departmental
secrecy"
Holding that the draft record of
this young man should be exposed,
Senator Sherman further said: "He
has been guilty of shameless lodging
of military duty"

PRESIDENT MUST PROVE 1T

(From N. Y. World, Democratic)
The sensational element in regard
to the Lansing resignation lies in the
Presidents accusations of usurpa-
tion during his illness. That is a
grave charge for a President Of the
United States to make against his
Secretary of State, and it cannot be
left to the realm of speculation and
conjecture. 1t is charge that the
President is under moral obligation
to prove by citations of cases. The
offense that is alleged is one that is
impeachable, and the President has no
right to let it rest on his own general
assertion. 1t is inconceivable that Mr..
Wilson is angered by the mere fact
that Cabinet meetings were held or
that Mr.. Lansing presided. These
meetings have been going on for
months, and the fact was known to the
President. He could have stopped
them by word. Secretary Lam
sing could not have usurped 3he, pow
ers of the President without having
done something definite. It is that
something definite which is yelled
and masked in the correspondence.

more complex and extensive than the

grams were planned, but it was handled
in fine way by Miss Tidman.

NOMINATE FORDNEY
WITHOUT OPPOSITION
1t Would be the Proper Thing to do
This Year.

From the Greenville Independent
The Independent does not know what
other people or papers in the district
think or feel sbout the matter. but it
believes that it would be nice way to
show appreciation of Congressman
Fordney's standing in the nation, by
nominating him this year without OPP
position. Mr.. Fordnev is one of. the
acknowledged leaders III congress, and
the people of this district certainly
would not consider the idea of dispen-
sing with his services when the affairs
of the nation are in the muddled condi.
tion that they are. If this is true, and
it cannot be otherwise why should he
be put to the trouble and expense of
making primary compsign2
As chairman of the ways and means
committee, Mr.. Fordney has an inn
mense amount of work on his hands
that need his attention, and it would
be better for the nation if he were al
lowed to devote himself to the consid-
GRAFTON of the important matters that
come before that committee without
interruption of any kind. 1t is true
that Mr.. Fordney does not let the mat
ter of his nominations interfere to any
great extent with his congressional
duties, but it is only natural that a
man should be- interested in the things
that concern him personally That he
will be nominated and elected is fore
gone conclusion, but it would be nice
little compliment to his ability and the
high position he holds in congress to
make his nomination unanimous this
year. Certainly he is deserving of this
honor at the hands of his constituents.

SON-IN-LAW McADOO is
TRAILING AFTER BRYAN
Said to Be Out of Sympathy With
Father-in-Law Wilson's Idea
Regarding Reservations


Now it appears that William G.
McAdoo, former secretary of the
Treasury, and son-in-law to the Pres
ident, is not in sympathy with the
stubborn and unyielding attitude the
President has been taking with ref
erence to reservations on the peace
treaty. Mr.. McAdoo evidently takes
substantially the view of great many
other Democrats of whom William j.
Bryan is one of the most conspicuous,
that the important thing is to dis
pose of the peace treaty and not stand
out against peace as the President is
doing because of unwillingness to ac-
cept Americanized reservations.
- Mr.. MeAdoo III speech in New
York before the Argentine-American
Chamber of Commerce said he was not
concerned about the reservations and
what he wanted was to see peace es-
tablished. Mr.. McAdoo did not am
plify his views but those who heard
them came to the conclusion he was
out of sympathy in this matter with
the President and would shed no tears
over the Lodge reservations.

WHY

(From the Rochester Democrat and

But there is another aspect of the
matter. Why President Wilson resent
foreign interference in American af-
fairs-conceding that there actually
has been nterference-after he HIM
self set the pernicious example by in
terfering in the affairs of Europe? He
went abroad in person, to make sure
that his views would be incorporated
in the treaty, and not satisfied with
that, addressed himself directly to
the people of England, France and
Italy.
