WASHINGTON. March 1S.-The De-

Meanwhile, the Senate is irritated over
this departure. 1t does not like the nnova-
ton 1t seems to foresce complications
which will be unpleasant IL not creative OF
i'll feeling. Senatorial leaders fail to see in
what respect Nice-President in the Cabi-
net is to make for better government. This
official can contribute nothing. it is pointed
out by the strict constructionsts, to ef-
ficency of executive action. He will know
nothing about the actual workings of the
various departments.
All the Senators see for the Vice-President
to do is To act as liaison officer between
the Senate and the White House. They seem
to anticipate such relationship and they
are not pleased Senators are always jeal-
Gus of their prerogatves. No one they con-
tend. has right or should assume the right
to speak for them. They invariably speak
for themselves and they want the whole
world TO rem ember that fact They do not
relish the thought that Mr.. Harding, ut n
Cabinet meeting, should turn 10 the Vice
President for opinion as to what the
Senate might do with given treaty or upon
any proposition.
Senators surprised. it has now de-
veloped, to find one of their members who
happened 10 have been nominated and
elected President. should SO far forget the
prophecies OF the situation and should be-
come so Indifferent to the rights OF the Sem
ate as to look upon the Nice-President, even
for a moment. as representative OF or
spokesman for body that stands always
upon its own bottom.
The Senate may be taking this sort of
thing seriously, but the country will not. To
the average man there seems TO be every
sound reason why the President should take
the Nce-President into the councils Of the
government; contide to the latter every i'm
portant fact about the government and in
a sense educate the second in command"
for the important business which might at
any hour OF the day be placed upon the Vice
Presidents shoulders.
Mr. Harding has shown broad -mindedness
in putting aside any personal dstaste he
may have had, in inviting the Vice-Presi-
dent TO occupy seat in the Cabinet. The
Senate may fuss and fume all that it likes
but the average man, outside that body,
will praise the President for his attitude
toward Mr.. Coolidge
