A QUESTION OF AUTHORITY

When Mr.. Taft was President and
accepting invitations to attend inter-
national conferences a Democratic
congress hitched to an appropriation
bill an amendment which reads as
follows: Hereafter the Executive
shall not extend or accept any invi-
tation to participate in international
congress, conference or like event
without first having specific authority
Of law to do so.'
Manifestly there is ample authority
under the Constitution for a Presi-
dent to call or participate in such a
meeting with the object Of making =

TOO MANY FINGERS

The order Just issued by the De-
partment Of Commerce temporarily
suspending radio broadcasting by
amateurs is justifiable under the par
ticular circumstances which have
made Il necessary. Concerns whose
wireless message transmission is an
important factor in Government and
commercial enterprise have had their
oervice quite severely hampered Of
late on account Of the activities of
the amateur operators who send in q
wave length 20 broad that it Is inn
possible to "tune out"
Therefore those who have been de-
iishtedly experimenting and discov-
ering the Joys Of the wireless will
have to hang up their transmitters
and be content with the role Of lis
teners for . while. 1t seems to be
case Of too many fingers in a pie for
which the best recipe hasn't a. yet
been determined.

Editorial Comment
The Alphabetical Order
(Nouy Vorlx Times


When Mr.. Hughes called upon the
delegates at Washington on Monday
to sign in alphabetical order he an
nounced that those representing the
United States of America would sign
first. To those unfamiliar with pre-
cedent this transfer of the United
States to the head of the list must
have given a moments surprise. IL
happens, however, that official rrac-
tice gives support to the poetic fitness
of this arrangement. 1t was Jonh
Hay who, when Secretary OF STATE
promulgated the order making
America" the official designation of
"The United States of America IN
diplomatic correspondence.
Thus America was called first to
subscribe to the five treaties. And by
another happy chance Secretary
Hughes. whose persistence and mas
terly guidance brought the confer
ence in good spirit to these ccnclu-
sions, was the first to put his name to
all of them.
Now the United States should be
the first to sign. Other nations have
been disappointed over the failure of
the United States to endorse the
Versailles Treaty. They will natural
~ be disposed to wait, this time. to
see what America will do with regard
to these treaties. which mark in THEN
actual agreements and moral pur-
poses a long stride toward new and
better epoch in human affairs" !,

treaty, but II no treaty Is contemp-
lated this would seem to preclude his
doing 50 without first obtaining the
authority of congress. Such is said
to be the prevailing opinion in con-
gress and is of special interest just
now because Of the consideration be-
ing given to the question whether the
President shall accept an invitation
to have this country represented at
the proposed Genoa conference. If a
treaty is to be formulated there con-
gress would appear to have nothing
to say but otherwise it doubtless will
be DESTROYS of insisting on whatever
authority it may possess.

Oak Grove Girls
Campaign for Health
Vote for Virtues"

Nassalboro, Me, Feb. "a vigorous
campaign for good health is again on
at Oak Grove Seminary and the re-
ward to the girls who win is not only

hut the winning of the coveted Oak
Grove letter. A similar program was
enthusiastically put through last year
with II girls winning letters at the
end of the year.
The standards are practically the
same this year with few additions,
for the regulations as adopted last
year were surprisingly "workable''
from the start. While the health
program for the Oak Grove girls en-
bodies all the best points of the large
colleges, at the same time it has dis
tinctive features, which as far as is
known, are wholly original. and the
standards are so high that girl
must attain a remarkable degree of
physical development if she is to
hope to win her letter.
The largest possible number of
points is 100. A girl must win IS to
be eligible for her letter. If she can
win 80 points each of her four years
she will be awarded gold letter at
Ter commencement.
The points are divided as follows:
Thirty for her technical work in the
gym" class: 80 for observance of
five rules of hygiene; 80 for expert
ness in sports; and 10 for personal
improvement in that habit which by
popular vote her school mates decide

A BONUS PLAN

A plan which is thought by many
to afford greater benefit to the SOL
Giers than cash bonus and which
would greatly relieve the govern
ment's embarrassing financial situa-
ton is credited to Mr.. Hoover. I'm
der this it is proposed to protect the
soldier by form of blanket insur-
ance against unemployment, accident
and sickness and also protect the de-
pendents in event Of his death.
Notwithstanding such an arrange
ment would be n substantial recogni-
ton, more substantial than a cash
bonus, it is said it is not meeting with
favor among the soldiers. Indeed it
is now believed the congressional es-
innate that seventy-five percent only
would ask for cash under the original
plan is altogether too low.
With the government seeking every
resource to- provide for the disabled
veterans and with all others assured
in event of unemployment, accident
or sickness of $50 a month this coun-
try could scarcely be called ungrate-
full or penurious. Such an arrange
ment, 1t is said, could be made at a
cost to the government for the first
year of about 100000, 900. the COM
pleted liability over a term of years
amounting to three billion dollars.
lot only would some such solution
of the problem mean a greater serv-
ice than the payment of all in cash at
enc time, but it could be done with
out. by tax to raise the full amount
now, putting the brakes on the slow
ly moving wheels of business and
thereby probably greatly aggravating
unemployment throughout the coun-
try. with consequent injury to the
soldier and his dependents. Moreover
the soldier who is not disabled-and
provision is already being made for
the disabled with much yet to be done
lis under some obligation on his
part to be reasonable, especially at
time like this.

"'ROOSTJc" RAILROAD RATES

And did you notice that the Ban
gor and Aroostook, while it named
the amount of the taxes paid or to
be paid to the State of Maine, made
no mention of it's income ?-Aroos-
took Daily News.
We did notice it. and although not
directly concerned, would be inter-
ested to learn. When railroads ask
the public for favors. or for good
will, they place themselves under OBJ
legation to be frank. The Maine
Central appears to accept this obi
CATION. Possibly the Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad will do so.
And with regard to rates. while
there are many matters to be con-
sidered and the onlooker hasn't the
information necessary to do this
thoroughly, manifestly rates which
are prohibitive or which discourage
traffic cannot from any viewpoint be
conducive to the financial welfare
either of the railroad or of the COM
munity it assumes to serve. In this
same issue of the News appears a
communication from a resident of
Robinson. In this he states:
"a few days ago l wished to ship
10 bags of sugar from Bridgewater
to this place, a distance of around
three miles, and on calling on the
agent for rates, he informed me it
would cost sic per 100 pounds, and
hired a team for less than half to
haul this freight"
