CONDITION NEEDING REMEDY

If practicable way may be found
Tor determining when a President is
1ncapacitated for the proper perform
ance of his duties, that way should
be found. Now is an opportune time
for finding it, when the undertaking
may not be clouded by suspicion of
partizan connivance. Moreover at
this time the public has become pref
ty we'll acquainted with the need Of
such an arrangement.
A recent occurrence has served to
emphasize the need, several recent
occurrences, in fact. When in Paris
the President signed a secret mem
orandum pertaining to the Belgian
indemnity, and under which it APP
pears he committed himself to the
plan of accepting on behalf of our
government German bonds in lieu of
the S343,445,000 loaned to Belgium.
1t also appears that other interested
this country was thereby committed
TO the policy; anyhow President Will
son undoubtedly promised to urge
such a plan on Congress. When he
returned from Paris and assumed to
take the country into his confidence
did he tell US about that? He did
not. Did he overlook such an i'm
portant matter because of his illness .?
il so he was incapacitated for hold
ing the position of President.
A few weeks ago the lord mayor
of Cork came to this country on a
mission in behalf of those in revo-
luton against country with which
this country is at peace. He was
seized and steps were taken to deport
of opinion arose between the secreta-
ry of state and the secretary of labor
and this was twiddled back and
forth with the result that it appears
the lord mayor of Cork accomplished
what he came to do. As to the merits
of the controversy we are unable to
form a correct opinion, not having
possession of all the facts, but one
may readily conclude that it was the
duty of the chief executive to take a
hand in this important matter and
st seemed to have been understood by
the cabinet members receiving in
structions that he was doing SO un-
all it developed that the Instructions
came from the Presidents secretary,
Mr.. Tumulty.
1t need not be argued whether
Tumulty possessed the ability to
properly perform this duty or wheth-
er he performed it correctly. Under
no construction of our form of gov
ernment should. he be empowered to
do that which it appears he has done,
and which, were there proper facil-

New York, April 25.-Men and women prominent in political and professional life tonight organized the American Peo- ple's league here to bring into co-opera- ton the forces which have been con- sistently opposed to the existing prohi- bition and proposed new laws.
 The speakers included Edward l. Ed wards, governor of New Jersey; Judge R. L. Haskell of Brooklyn and City Comptroller Charles l.. Craig The league adopted resolutions to contest the issue raised by those groups of citizens which seek to deprive the people of their indi- vidual rights and privileges" and to give it's support to Frederick R. Law renee leader of the movement in en- listing the adherents of public leaders of recognized ability.
 In declaration of principles the or ganization committee opposed a motion picture censorship, all laws prohibiting Sunday sports, properly conducted con certs and similar theatrical productions.
 We hold" said the committee, refer ring to the proposed state motion picture censorship, that present conditions evil as they are, do not warrant the impo- sition of the greater evil of censorship upon the pictures or anything else that would at single bound revert the United States to the time of Louis XIV.

SUSPECT DENIES ALL
 KNOWLEDGE OF BOMB
By Associated Press

Scranton, Pa, April 25.-Tito Ligi, de- tained here in connection with the Wall street explosion of last September de- clared in a statement from his prison cell tonight that he had never left the anthracite mining district along Lack awanna valley since coming to this sec tion of Pennsylvania from Italy in 1912 He said he had never heard of any bonn plots in Wall street. He had not been lin New York since reaching America nine years ago.
 He had no recollection, he said, of ever having seen Thomas Smith before the latter came here last Saturday and identified him as the person he saw standing behind the death wagon shortly before the blast and running away with two others immediately after the explo- sion.
 Ligi told detectives who questioned him that he was an anarchist because he was "sore," he said, adding that he had never read the several radical books which were found in his room.
 Two detectives of the homicide bu- reau and two more from the bomb squad were here from New York today. They expressed themselves as dissatisfied with the identification made by Smith, wha was escorted here by department of justice representative.
