NORMAL 5 WINS
BASKET 7 TITLE
FROM GILBERT
IN CLOSE CANE

Tempe Normal won the valley bas-
ketbali championship. defeating Gil
bert High school 46 to 40 at the l.. ID.
S. auditorium last night. The game
was hard fought and very close from
start to finish.
Gilbert started out fast and at one
stage Of the first period had 16 to
lead over Normal. The Tempe boys
recovered form and when the first
period ended they were leading 10 to
is.
The playing of Pete Brown of Tenn
pc was the outstanding feature OF
the game. Pete was the best man on
the floor and kept in the game every
minute Hatch OF Gilbert showed
good form and Captain Austin of
Normal played a brilliant game.
Coach Brock OF Florence refereed
a good game.
Normal has one of the fastest bas-
ketball teams ever developed in the
valley and Coach Cooper deserves
much credit for the wonderful work
Of the champions. The team work Of
Normal was the deciding factor in
winning the valley championship.

mittee. control plan, which the Board OF
Directors has approved. Is unquestionahiy
meritoriovs. Without administrative sub
divisions It ia manifestly impossible to IN
fuse vitality into any large. scale enterprise.
The simultaneous functioning Of bureaus
or commissions Of experts proved Invaluable
both at Paris In 1919 and at Washington
IN 1921 30. But the departmental system
need not necessarily conflict with the con-
centration Of ultimate power and RESPONSE
hility in directing head.
Indeed, in IN undertaking like the pro-
jected exposition, individual leadership Is
precisely what Is requisite to insure de-
partmental development. In affairs of the
first magnitude partitioned obligations are
not always keenly realized.
''Responsibi!!ty in such matters is single.
1ot joint: absolute. not relative. This
excerpt from one of the most vigorous state
papers Of the last national Administration
Is stimulating In pence as we'll ns war.
The strength of unified responsibility can be
attained by the appointment Of n comman-
der. In chief of the fair. in whom the right
Of final judgment will rest.
As super leadership Is not always readily
0btainable, 1t is entirely fitting to organize
committees which can Immediately proceed

not initiate against the cvcntual selection
Of the right type Of high official. Fortu.
nately, Mr.. Moore has cateGorically stated
that the search for a director general has
not been abandoned.
1t should be possible for the twenty COM
mittees already existent to adjust themselves
to the Mayors administrative policy, in
which authority Is derived from the Execu-
tive Committee, and by that body from the
Board Of Directors. The score Of subsidiary
bureaus ore certainly not handicapped by
deficiency Of opportunity.
Aside from the decision upon the site, the
exposition still is in the nebulous stage. On
this account 1t Is gratifying to note a step
toward the practical in the resolution urging
for pressure upon the National Government
IN the long discussed project of a new Fed
sral building.
1t is the hope of the fair promoters that
this new edifce will be a feature Of the
Sesqui. Centennial and Of permanent worth
to the community. Similar expectations are
entertained regarding the States contribu-
tion, and this also has been embodied In a
resolution. Sites for the two new structures
are available near Logan Circle or on the
pArkway.
The beginnings Of definite program are
discernible In these appeals. After much
delay the contrast is distinctly refreshing.

WRONG PLACE FOR LEGISLATION

TT Is not too much to hope that In another
j century or two the fOolishncss of clut-
teeing State Constitutions with legislative
provisions will impress itself upon enough
voters to insist that all legislative details
b kept out Of the fundamental law.
< The commission which proposed lot Of
smendments to the Pennsylvania Constitu-
ten did not have the courage to cut all such
matters from their draft. As matter OF
fact. they followed the old rule and proposed
q lot Of amendments to the legislation where
they should have cut 1t all out.
As we have said many times, n Constitu-
tton is properly declaration Of principles
and grant of power. The Federal Con.
stitution Is an admirable model for the
States. That t., 1t was an admirable model
until the prohibitory amendment was in
serted In It, That amendment is legislative.
The proper way to have approached the
question In the spirit of the Constitution
itself was to have granted TO Congress the
power to pass laws regulating, even to the
extent Of prohibiting. the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating beverages. This would
have put up to Congress the duty OF lcgis.

legislating by constitutional amendment in

1t Is easy to view this declaration Of policy
rs an echo of the militnrism which caused
the World War transferred west of the
Rhine. The imperial Hohenxollerns pre-
pared for peace with the bayonet and the
machine. gun. Without the previous ex
istence of great standing armies, It is hardly
imaginable that the world conflict would
have been waged.
But the problem in France is complicated
by memories which react against the ampli.
fcation of the logic of the situation. A
nation which was invaded BY foreign armies
three times within n century cannot be pitt
lessly condemned for entertaining fears.
Time must be allowed for recovery of French
nerves, and 1t is not surprising that less
than four years after the armistice they
still are shattered.
1t Is General Castclnau's idea that. owing
to dlsparities in population. France must
have three men to one for Germany as a
standing army"
But this mlitaristic talk does not ac-
curately represent French opinion. The
new Army Bill. now in the Chamber Of
Deputies, provides for eighteen months
compulsory service, which Is marked re-
duction from the pre- war regulations.
The progress toward an alienation of
French fears has been slowed and constantly
embarrassed BY m aggressive chauvinisnl
which has been capitalizing the national
psychology. Americans who may be dis
pleased and troubled by the present situa :
tion have no means OF knowing whether
they would be capable Of thinking more
clearly than Frenchmcn II enmeshed In sim
