"rny rs You Enter"

THE athletic associations which control
the Army and Navy football games -
year have withdrawn the gratuity whC. ( 2
the past was extended TO members of the
House and Senate Under the old system
each Representative and Senator was given
without charge two tickets TO each game.
and IL the legislator happened TO be mem
Der either of the Military or Naval Affairs
Committees. the number of free seats was
increased TO four.
All othcr citizens of the republic were
expected 10 pay for the pleasure of witness
ing the football contests. Even the mid
Shipmen and the cadets OF the two acade-
mics, tho officers attached to these institu-
lions and the officers detaIod TO the War
and Navy departments pay. radically
all OF these groups arc members OF one or
the other OF the two athletic associations
and their membership dues cover admission
fees to the game.
When notice was given members of tho
House and Senate that the privilege of
free seats had been withdrawn there was
Indignation in moro than one quarter.
Statesmen became iniamed over the in
dignity which had been visited upon them
by lot Of official coeGians who in broad
sense owe their standing TO tho men who
make our laws. II seemed unthinkablc
that midshipmcn or cadets who we're APP
pointed 10 their present positions by ma
tional legislators should he so ungratcful
as TO require their patrons 10 pay what 9TH
ers pay TO attend football games.
One member OF the House. who is identi-
fed as Representative MacGregor OF New
York has introduced resolution forbid
ding either the midshipmcn at the Naval
Academy or the cadets at the Military
Academy from ''commercializing" their a,h-
lctics by charging admission fees to the
games in which either may participate
Such legislation is so childish as TO make
its author laughable, and It would make
Congress even more laughable if that body
took the measure seriously. The bill will
not pass Of course. II will soon he forgot

| favorable to the Administrations boom for
General Wood in 1924 would not he kept
very long under cover"
NnQuostionably. tho admin stration OF
President Harding has not been only seri-
| cusly disappointing to the country as a
whole. but to the sane-thinking elements
or his own party as we'll. The progressive
revolt from Old Guard leadership. which
has come much into evidence through sig
nal victories in several strong Republican
states over candidates who had administra-
iion backing. attests the growing strength
OF this movement. With the Administered
ton winning only meaGcr victory in the
coming elections 1IardnGs policies would
be so discredtcd as to make 1t unsafe for
the party to risk the 1924 elections with
him again as its standard bearer. Taft
had to fight Roosevelt for his denomination
In 1912; and the Colonel himself in 1903
1904 was for time menaced by Senator
Mark Hanna. These party denominations
have not been freely given as some may
think. Adler and more popular Presidents
than Harding have had TO fight hard for the
retention OF the leadership. Two years
hence. General Wood will be 81 years OF
age--not too old to be President Mean
while mis- absence from the United States
has served 10 disconnect him from mistakes
of the administration. and that fact alone
may work to his political advantage.
