IF you interested in the whereabouts of the Re-
publican Party political entity you will find it
in the political morgue. IT, may happen, you
similarly concerned the Democratic Party you will
find that in the morgue Tho two rigidy dis
posed on adjoining slabs They dead smelts,
doornails, herring, Herod as Nebuchadnezzar,
as Neoptoemus. They very dead 1t is true enough
that you will find something that claims to represent
Repubicanism operating at Washington and elsewhere,
and something that claims to represent Democracy.
They ghosts, wraiths, without original form and
substance without original character original charter
or original conviction. There genuine issues
between them, authentic differences of policy
performance. There is nothing between them save
the desire of the Republicans, who in power to
stay in power and the desire of the Democrats; who
in power to stay in power and the desire of the
Democrats who out of power to get back in power
The Republicans opportunists.

JACKSoN-REFUSED I.

Someone who has been digging into the records
has discovered that President Jackson once refused
a grant OF authority from congress similar to that
concerning the rcfunding of war debts which Presi-
dent Harding, i'll person or through the secretary
OF the treasury, requested congress to grant.
congress, 1t appears, had passed a bill autloriz-
ing President Jackson to arrange a settlement of the
debt which the kingdom of Sicily owed the United
States. Jackson returned the bill with his compli-
melts, but with the statement that he would not
sign 1T because 1t was unconstitutional. He pointed
out that the functions OF the executive were pre-
scrlbed in tho constitution, and that congress could
neither diminish nor increase them. Without any
action by congress lie had authority to negotiate a
treaty with Sicily Or any other country.
1t is held that the two cases are similar, and
that IN accepting the arrangement made by congress
in the funding bill President Harding is really
countenancing the SORT of invasion of the depart
ment of the executive by congress which Jackson
SO stubbornly resisted.
While there are some elements of similarity in
the two cases they are not necessarily parallel. In
Jackson S time the United States was dealing with a
single nation III relation to the disposition of a spe-
chic item IN q particular manner, and, whether or
not the acton OF congress constituted an attempted
usurpatlon OF executive powers, the matter could
have been disposed of in a single treaty. In the
present case we arc dealing with many nations, ex-
listing under various conditions, and each quite
possibly needing a separate sort of treatment. I'm
der the funding bill recently passed it is not con-
lSlAP1dte1 e1d lilc arrangements Snatl be MADE by
treaty. The arrangement is rather that the exec,l-
tive, operating through a commission for which pro-
vision is made, shall be empowered to administer
the settlement of the outstanding Indebtedness in
accordance with a general plan, the details Of which
may be varied within certain specified limits.
For all that appears to the contrary the execu-
tive department could have negotiated a separate
treaty with each nation, and such Treaties would
have been valid when ratified by the senate. AS it
is, congress has enacted a law under which the
executive may proceed without the form of negoti-
ating separate treaties,

ANCIENT OF DAYS.

The Indian widely known through the north
west as John Smith and whose age is reputed to
have been 1877 years has been gathered to his father.
How exact the estimate of this mans age may be,
we have no means OF knowing. Usually the ages of
reputed centenarians are exaggerated. These old
men arc often not SO old as they are said to be. The
sexaggeration is usually innocent and doubtless I'm
avoidable. Records have not been kept, and sreli-
vance must be placed on recollection which is faulty.
1T is easy tor those of great age to confuse their
made to them by others, and these very ancient in
Individuals frequently think they remembe incidents
which occurred long before they were born.
John Smith, however, was a very old Indian.
There is excellent reason for believing that he must
have been considerably more than 100 years Of age,
He cut no very large figure in the history Of this
country, but he had been a spectator while events
Of unusual significance were occurring. 1t is prob
ably true that he was living at the time Of the war
OF 1912. During his lifetime that war was closed
and relations of permanent peace between this ma
ton and Great Britain were established. The
American constitution. adopted before his time, was
interpreted in the light in the necessities Of the ma
was firmly established. The Mexican war was
fought, the Civil war followed, and in more recent
times the Spanish war and the great World war.
While these wars and preparations for war were in
progress the nation was expanding and developing.
The wilderness where John Smith was born became
producing the materials for food and shelter for
vast r1ultitudes of people; In that wilderness cities
have sprung up, railroads have traversed it, and
throughout the entire nation there has been a vast
work Of progress and development. It is given to
fbut few men to exist through such a momentous
period, and even though Old John may have con-
t~tTibuted IN no very large way to all this progress,
Ithere is something impressive in the fact that it
tEould have been brought about during the time
tspanned by the life of one man.

EVIDENCE oF>GooD FAITH.

II 1AiAS4lSdlt ADMINISTRATION mas lOSC no time
IN demonstrating its good faith in undertaking the
several plans for limitation of armament and for the
elimination OF possible causes of misunderstanding
among nations. Before there had been time for the
ink to dry on the treaties framed and signed by the
representatives OF the nations participating. Presi-
dent Harding had directed the discontinuance of
work then in progress on Notifications in the Pacific
and on construction of vessels which, under the
agreements, are to be strapped. y
If the treaties are ratified, as is expected, this
act Will result IN some saving of expense to the
United States, although the saving which NAV be
effected between the close OF the conference and
the final disposition of the treaties will not be a
very important item. 1t is conceivable that if the
treaties should for any reason be rejected, the sus-
pension of work will increase rather than diminish
the cost. Usually it costs less to keep work going
than to suspend and then resume it. If the treaties
are to be made effective, the sooner work is dis
the greater will be the saving.
1t is to be supposed, however, that the saving
to be erected IN construction work during the next
few weeks did not figure very largely iii the presi-
the demonstration of confidence in what the action
OF our own senate will be, i'll the ratification of the
agreements BY other powers, and in the purpose of
the United States to carry out it's agreements in full
and as promptly as is physically possible.
There are some things SO big that it is difficult
tor us to grasp their real significance. The mind
does not travel far or quickly outside the realm of
its own experience. In the worlds experience war,
and preparation for war, and repair Of the damages
caused by war have occupied SO much attention,
and for SO long, that it is difficult for us to realize
the relegation OF war to a subordinate place, or to
contemplate the elimination of war as anything
more than a theory. -.
Three months ago the world was armed as it
had never been armed before except during the
war just closed, and the work Of adding more and
more to the existing armament proceeded apace.
Men talked of peace, but they prepared for war as
they had never prepared before
Almost in a moment a change has been brought
about. Armament has not been abolished, nor has
the possibility of war been removed. But the rep
resentatives Of the~world's most powerful nations
have agreed on a program for the reduction of naval
power to less than half its present proportions to
the cessation Of many important works of defense
and of possible aggression, and, in earnest of the
complete carrying out of this program. the natio,,
which initiated the movement has actually sus-
pended work in many localities preparatory to the
complete dismantlernet1t Of many OF its mighty
engines of war.
The millennium has not arrived. All the devils
have not been cast out. Not yet will all the swords
be beaten into plowshares. But surely something
has actually been accomplished in which humanity
may rejoice.

that story of my slipping OF to the
dancing-class, and of my finding
there, all alone in the big empty gold
en- room, that solitary girl In black
perched up on the piano. I told him
everything she had said to me; I re-.
rnembered it accurately because it had
made such an impression upon me.
Slim sat in the other cornersaof the

vocABULARIEs.

According to the reports made OF a recent test
several OF the pupils in the Velva high school have
|vocabularies in excess Of 10000 words. That NAV
surprise those who are familiar with estimates n
this held which place the number Of words used
ny even the fairly we'll educated man at much less
than 10000. There are millions of Americans who
are not by any means i~lliterate whose vocabularies
will not reach 900 words. Five thousand words :
generally held to be 3 fairly large vocabulary for the
man OF affairs whose occupation does not require
him to be constantly on the alert for words with
which to express himself.
However, all vocabulary estimates are esti-
mates only. There can be nothing exact about the
subject. In the tests made al, Velva, under a plan
which IS in ommon use, words are selected which
are considered representative, and it is assumed
arbitrarily that ability TO define and use each test
word indicates ability to define and Use 100 other
words. 1t has doubtless been ascertained expert
mentally that this assumption corresponds approx.
lnately with the general average, but variations
from the average in individual ability are SO great
that such estimates are little mote than speculative.
Further, vocabulary" is a very elastic term.
In the sense that ones vocabulary is a part of his
personal equipment, like the familiar tools of the
workman, there is a wide difference between the
words which constitute the vocabulary and those
which one is able to define and use. ANY fairly
proficient student of a spcllingbook is able to de-
tine correctly and to use correctly some thousands
OF words which are IN no sense a part of his per-
sonal possessions. He can use these words, but
under no circumstances does he ever use them ex-
cept When writing in an examination.
Neither does the number of words which one
when he hcars them spoken or sees
them in print constitute his vocabulary. The fact
that one understands %another's vocabulary does not
make it his own. We believe that it is "a mistake
to apply the word vocabulary" as it is applied in
test cited to words which the individual is mere
ly able to define and to use. The result is to create
the false impression of the individuals equipment
to create a sense of ownership where there is none.
Ones vocabulary is his own stock of words, the
words which he can use and does use for the >pur-
pose of expressing himself, and not for the purpose
Of passing an examination.

MORBID1TY.

There is a case for psychological study in the
spectacle which was presented in Los Angeles when
thirty thousand>people, most Of them presumably
sane and respectable, fought for admission to. the
church where funeral services were being conducted
over the remains Of the murdered motion picture
director, William D. Taylor. Naturally the muir
.dered man was unknown to most of these people,
probably few of them had ever heard 81 him until
the news of his mysterious murder began to find
place in the papers. Those .crowding people had
no interest in the man, ard only a few Of them
could have any interest in his work. If he had died
2 natural death they would not have given the sub
ject a second thought. To them the sole element
OF interest was the fact that he had been killed, no
body knew just how or why, and that there was a
possibility of sensational developments as the in
|vestigation proceeded.
Granted that the circumstances were such as
to arouse interest, there is still a mystery in,the fact
that strangers should have struggled fercely for
places IN the building wher allthaf Gould have been
expected. to occur there was the usual order Of
funeral services, with. "a glimpse Of 4 closed casket
buried in flowers. "a
The incident was an exhibition Of n%1orbidity on
= large scale, the desire to be personally present so
~ 70 gain some slight measure OF personal contact
with . mystery, o. ! tragedy 81 i racy sensation.
The exhibition was decidedly observation-disclosures
people might call il psychopathic.
