PRESS COMMENTS.
COOLIDGE IN THE CABINET.

In SPITE Of his call for return to nor
malcy" in governmental practices, Sena-
tor Harding is proving himself something
OF precedent breaker. His announce
mont that Vice-Presidcnt Coolidge, as It
will be after March 4, is to be m ex-officlo
member of the cabinet, while not so spec
tacular n step as President Wilson's ap-
bearance before Congress TO read hts mes
sages, is no less significant. President
Wilson's setting aside OF the custom OF
sending messages to be read To the two
houses by their respective clerks forecast
the personal direction of affairs which won
such triumphs as the establishment oil the
Federal Reserve System and the repeal OF
the Panama Canal Tolls law but which IN
the end aroused violent resentment. Pres
ident-elect Hardlng's announcement iits
in with his advocacy of the opposite coutse,
program of constant consultation with
offic and unofficial advisers.
Various reasons have prevented en- rlier
Presidents from making use OF the Vice
President. First OF al, there is the dellcacy
of the general relation between an official
who il elected to govern and an official who
is elected TO do nothing except be ready TO
take the other mans place IT anything
should happen 10 him. Then the Vice
President stands upon very different
ground from n member of the cabinet.
The latter il mere appolntee ot the Presi-
dent, who in the event of fundamental
divergence of view between them can ask
for the cabinet membcts resignation No
such course is possible with the Vice
President. An even Rreatef obstacle Is the
fact that Vice-President g often owe thor
nomination TO the circumstances that they
represent a rival faction in the party The
Nice-P e-Presidential nomination IL apt be
n consolation prize Imagine Roosevelt

COLLEGE Students I IeNs Intelligent.

Frederick A. Hall, Chancellor Of the
Washington University, bns made sur
vcy of the -eseaych work Of American
colleges and declares he hns found that
The average intelligence Of students has
fallen Oft quite perceptibly since before the
war He is disappointed TO learn that in
stead Of being more earnest in the pur-
suit Of knowledge than previously, the
students arc less inclined to labor serious
ly over their books.
This educators observations are not
like those of clergynen who predicted
that the trials and terrible experiences Of
war would sober the youth of this country,
and that, as a consequence, they would be
led into more direct touch with church
work and would seek closer communion
with their Christian brethren. In fact, it
was anticipated by educational and re-
lipious leaders, as well as big business,
that the experiences on the battle fields,
the rigorous training and splendid dis
cipline OF the men would make them
much more seriou. and efficient in
every way.
Like many other predictions, based on
psychological premises, none OF these
betterments have come to pass. There
probably is no peroeptible change IN the
attitude of the ex-srvice men toward the
church. AT least they are not more at
tentive 10 its teachings nov more devout IN
the worship than they were previous 10
their experiences on the battlefield in the
| barracks
Now that leading educator finds that
| the percentage of intelligence is declining
among the young men who are attending
colleges, we must conclude Tint war, IN
stead Of steadying tho young men, has had
much the opposite effect. This is especial
| " noticeable in those who are without the
responsibility Of family maintenance
With this finding, two years after the
| close Of hostilities, il is entirely obvious
| that the war has not brought us single
| change for the better in the daily life Of
the men who served either At tho battle
| front or in the campo, or in the lines oi
| those who STAYED at home.

The Willingness of Christmas collectors
to work go cheerfully and such long hours
may be explained by the circumstance
that those in most of the large cities, and
possibly some who are operating here,
receive 80 per cent Of the total amount
they obtain, the rest going to the cause
for which it was contributed after the cost
Of administering the benevolence or
charity has been subt~acted So, probably
afte- all, we may be rewarding these
persons above their deserts Perhaps the
big fee for the collectors may explain the
bitter rivalry between them for positions
on the most advantageous street corners
where the Christmas offerings are sup
posed TO be most numerous.

CROSS COUNTRY MIXERS HERE.

Known as the honeymoon mixers, "
Mr. and Mrs f. NJ Richards, hikers of
Long Beach, Calf, stopped in Whining
ton yesterday on their way to New York
which city on wager of $4,000 they must
reach by New Years eve. They are
dressed in khaki uniform, and under the
stipulations carry camping outfits OF so
pounds and 20 pounds respectively, and
must cover the ground on foot, not using
trolleys or trains.
The nickname honeymoon mixers, !"
was applied to Mr. and Mrs Richards two
years ago when they hiked from Denver to
Los Angeles on their return from o honey
moon trip. The couple expect to arrive
in New York by Christmas, one week
ahead Of schedule

HAzing the bride and bridegroom ha

Hnzing the bride and bridegroom has
gone to such an extreme that either OF a
newly-married couple would be justified IN
bringing action for assault and demand
ing damages from the silly friends who
seek 10 harass them and make them
ridiculous A case in point IS the ex-
perience Of bride in Chester, Pa, who
was forced to slide down the water spout
from her window TO the street in order to
escape q plot TO playfully kidnap her and
detain her apart from the bridegroom so
long as the. amusing cusses" Of the we'd
ding party enjoyed this sort of humor.
There should be a continuous open season
for the frolicksome "hardboiled" youth
who turn the pleasure and pretty ameni-
ties Of a marriage ceremony into the
trough house" that would not have been
tolerated in a semi-reputable barroom IN
days when the latter fourished openly.

that many persons may find good burglar

The assurance Of the chief engineer Ot
the Water Department that the fire plugs
are all in good condition and ready for
service when called on is particularly
gratifying, in view Of recent experiences
with fires in this oity. Now, if we might
have the pledge that hereafter no novices
would be permitted to serve with the de
partment at fires, and unintentiorally put
fire hydrants out Of commission by turning

CREATE
 FREE BOOKING AGENT
 FOR BASEBALL TEAMS

A free booking agency for SeH1l- professional baseball teams of Arizona has been established by Gus Hanson manager of the sports department Of the -Berryhill company. Through this agency, efforts will be made by MT. Hanson to arrange games for all teams
 In furtherance of his plans, Hanson has already mailed questionaires to the different baseball teams in the Salt River valley Managers of the differ ent teams are requested to fill out these documents. returning them to the BerryhiIl company. In this way, the booking bureau will be enabled to make up weekly schedules for the diff ferent teams.
 The agency has for its primary pur- pose the aiding of all teams to secure games. The bureau hopes to be in a position to furnish any manager the open dates of prospective contestants on a minutes notice and thus afford the different teams opposition.
 Through a centralized bureau of this nature. it is believed. arrangements can be worked out whereby all teams will be enabled to have full schedules. The cooperation of the various man. agers is necessary, hcwever. to make the plan a complete success.
 Teams taking advantage of the booking agency are under no obliga- ton to the Berryhill> company. 1t was stated.

 FUR RETURN BATTLE
 WITH OILERS SUNDAY

Defeated for the first time of the season in their game at Casa Grande last Sunday. the Standard Oil company baseball team will endeavor to take revenge on the strong down state nine in a return game to be played here next Sunday.

MUSSULMEN MAY PUT BOYCOTT ON
 BRITISH GOODS

Delhi, India, Jan. 8-British goods will be boycotted if the peace settle- ment with Turkey is not satisfactory to Mussu1mans, according to a reso- 1ution adopted by Indian Moslems who gathered here recently in the au-India kha1ifat conference.
 By another resolution it was pro- posed to bring 8 gradual cessation of cooperation with the government in event of an unsatisfactory peace with Turkey.
 Indian moslems have been insist ing upon the principle of nationality and self determination as basis for dealing with Turkey.
 A joint meeting of Moslena and non- Moslem representatives of India was held after the conference. It adopted that, in view Of Americas attitude, voice in the settlement of these terms with Turkey, and that "the sacrifice in men and money made by the Mos- lems and their accomplishments made in the late war entitle them to a de- ternining voice in this settlement
 It was decided to send a delegation to England and if necessary to the United States to lay the true sentf- ments of Mussulrnans before the Brit ish and American governments.
 The All-Indian khalifat conference requested Indian Moslems to abstain from participating in the celebrations of victory in the war.

cox IS MILLIONAIRE
 AT 29 YEARS

Boston, Jan. 9-From a penniless country boy at 20 to millionaire at 29 is the story of the meteortc rise to power of Richard c. Cox of Boston and Cambridge.
 He came East to Boston nine years ago to get an education and to seek his fortune. Having successively passed the entrance examinations to Harvard, he found his slim purse would not permit of his attending. And so he entered Boston University, specializing in physics While still freshman he found in a classmate the future Mrs. Cox and married, as he puts it. "on shoestring." That was the end of college and he had to go to work.
 So successful has he been that to- day he has a fortune totalling ap- last fortnight 10 big apartment houses in Cambridge. representing an out lay of S2,000,0O0, have been purchas- ed by him Or have come under his control.
 He intends to keep on purchasing until his daily rentals will aggregate $1,000. !:
 The largest single check he has ever paid out was for $675,000.
 MT. Cox is an inventor, not of the long-haired kind, but able to temper inventive genius with business ca pacity. He is the inventor of @ steam gauge tester, enabling the fluid press ure scale to be determined in steam gauges. The Navy Department has purchased these gauges in quantities. The invention that has brought him his great fortune. however, is a den- tai engine for use by dentists in boring teeth.
