DEAD HAND AND IMPULSE

That we have government by the
dead hand" IN this country every four
years is the somewhat poetical charge
made by those who advocate that the
new president by inaugurated and the
new congressman take their seats three
or four weeks after the election instead
OF four months. 1t cannot be denied
that when the party in power loses, the
session Of congress which Is held be-
tween the election and the fourth o.
March Is, technically at least. govern
nent by tho dead hand or by the lame
ducks" as they are called in political
circles
In sharp contrast 10 this delay in
handing over the governmental reins'
We have the spectacle in some OF the
European nations Of what may be called
government by impulse" We have
just seen an example OF this In France
where the failure OF the chamber OF
deputies to give a vote OF confidence
has overthrow the Leagues govern
which Is TO be succeeded by another.
This means that for some reason the
deputies were dissatisfied with the
policies or actions OF Leygues. Possibly
they had substantial reasons for want
inka new administration, but 1t Is easy
to see that such vote might be cast
on tho spur OF the moment. under the
influence OF sentiment unsupported by
sound reasoning.
A grave injustice may thus Do done
to q wise and capable statesman, for
time might Justify the very acts and
policies for which he is removed. Know
ing that his ofrlce depends upon tho
within OF the peoples representatives,
there Is every incentive for tho premier
TO play to the galleries instead OF fol-
lowing out a constructive policy. II Is
difficult TO understand how any well
seasoned plans can ever be carried out
by such Il government.
Originally. tho period Of four months
between election and inauguration In
this country was adopted because OF the
time required in those days for the
new officials and Legislators TO get 70
the capital city. That reason has dis
appeared. but in its stead has arisen
the necessity OF shaping policies TO
serve best the interests OF 1l7.000. 0OO
people. These policies cannot be def
nItely shaped nor the right men select.
ed to carry them out before election.
Admitting that the delay OF four months
~ open 10 criticism, we are still inclined
20 believe that our system is better than
the impuisive methods OF Europe.

. THE LANGDON KILLING

The killing OF Lieutenant Langdon. an
American naval officer. by a Japanese
sentry is one Of those incidents on
which an accurate Judgment cannot be
given until the exact details are known.
Whether the sentry knew that he was
firing at an American. and whether
Langdon provoked the shooting. are
matters to be determined by the court
OF inquiry TO be held by the navy de-
partment. The affair is unfortunate.
but so far It appears TO have no bear
ing upon the migration controversy
which has caused some i'll feeling among
citizens OF the two countries.

Identical with those OF Wilson.
Obviously, the delay in the publica-

It criticises the president severely. Tn
