As ranking member of the House
Committee on Banking and Cur

terly opposed 10 the bill on general
principles. was accorded the honor
of membership on the House Con-
ference Committee, his colleagues
being Congressman McFadden of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the
Banking Committee, and Wingo of
Arkansas ranking Democratic
member.
The conferees representing both
Houses met Tuesday afternoon,
and after a prolonged and heated
controversy "agreed to disagree, "
and so reported to both branches.
Subsequent meetings were held, so
that the conferees were in eXecu-
tive session for practically the bet
ter part of two days and a night
before harmony was ultimately es-
tablished.
The storm centre was the pro-
vision permitting the extension of
United States credits to foreign in
dividual and corporate interests.
Colonel Dale believed that this
was one of the most iniquitous pro-
visions of the entire bill and from
the first he vigorously and stead
tasty opposed it. In this stand he
was heartily supported by the 9th

Judge following the advancement

he is a good student of the law

association with making bodies
and with revision of laws, for the

Wilcox is a high-minded gentle
man who has a full conception of
the responsibilities of the position
to which he has been called, so
that there is general expectation
that he will measure up to the ira

Its to his boosted ingenuity. An en-
tomologist IN a New York college
tells Of case where a trusted jap
anese assistant failed him IN a mo-
ment where singular ingenuity was
required. The scientist had a tray OF
carefully arranged and minute speci-
mems, and was carrying 1t from one
table to another, when he stumbled
on a protruding chair leg and partly
fell, scattering the specimens over
the floor. Many hours Of work were
In second quite undone. Some
serviceable and hard-worked exple-
dves must have leaped to his lips
and then proved inadequate to the
occasion. for, after pregnant mo-
ment Of silence, he turned to the
Japanese and said:
Tell me quick. what would you
say IN Japanese X such thing hap
pened to you? Give me the transla-

Electing the President.

Technically Messrs. Harding and
Coolidge were not elected president
and vice president until the electors
who he'd been chosen last November
met in their respective states and
went through the form Of casting their
ballots. Practically the discharge Of
tk::t function was merely the core
monious recording of the decision Of
the people rendered two months be-
fore. It served also as reminder of
the fact that president of the United
States is really elected by virtue Of an
unwritten law in contradiction to the
pundoubted intent of the constitution.
It YVES, of course, foregone con-
clusion that all electors who had been
chosen on republican tickets would
designate Harding and Coolidge as
their choice. Yet they were under nc
legal compulsion to do so, and the
makers of the constitution did not III
tend that they should be. The inton
ton was that there should be no nomi
nations made in advance, but that thu
people should choose electors who

conduct Investigations into the fitness
OF various men and the presidency,
should analyze the qualities adapted to
the station, and then, acting in circum-
stances favorable to dcliberation,
should vote according to their own
Judgment. It is Of curious interest to
recall that this provision Of the con-
stitution was one of the very few
almost the only one-that escaped
severe censure and seemed to receive
practically universal consent. Yet it
is the one which from almost the very
first has by practically universal con-
sent, been ignored and nullifed! Can
it be tibet it was thus accepted be-
cause of some prescience that it would
be annulled?
In the election and reelection of
Washington there was no occasion for
anything more than the letter and
spirit of the constitution. But in the
third presidential contest Hamilton
himself led the way in overriding the
intent of his own constitution by die
tating in advance for whom the cleo
tors should vote. Thereafter for
years, until the end of the 'Virginia
Dynasty" nominations were made by
congressional caucusses, which the
electors, subsequently chosen by the
people, were regarded as morally
though, of course, not legally, boune
to confirm. That was a most objec
tionable system, not so much because
