Importance to that of Superintendent.
Although there were at least scor,

only one put in nomination.
William L. Ettinger. Superintendent Of
Schools. previously reminded the board
that the office was one of the most i'm
oortant in the DEPARTMENT Of Education
and required "A person of unquestionetl
xperience and broad administrative

Arthur S. Somers proposed Miss Nc
Cooey. He said he had appointed her
to her first position as assistant prime
pal of a school in Brooklyn nearly thirty

This lady has not been prominent in

SPOILS SYSTEM DEFEAT
HARDING ECONOMY PLAN

/ ton scheme would be summarily dis
mirscd. Tho chief effect OF the ad-
mon!tion was to inspire the adoption
Of more discreet methods OF acceler-
uting untagonism TO the reorganiza-
ton scheme, but It did not stop 1t.
Some members of Congress have
advanced reasons that appear to be
generally specious for their opposition
to the Presidents plan to remodel and
make more economical the administra-
ton of Government affairs. Com
plant 10 made privately by Senators
and Representatives that he has
ignored Congress in the development
Of the reorganization plan and sup
ported the proposal developed by Mr..
Brown without consulting Congress
sional members of the commission
appointed by him. OF course this and
other similar reasons are mere pre-
texts to cloak the real obstructive rea-
sons, which, as said. are primarily
political.
The President apparently Is deter
mined to insist on the adoption of the
reorganization plan by Congress. 1t
Is understood to be his purpose to sub
NIT the report prepared by Mr.. Brown
to Congress with special message
setting forth the reasons that In his
Judgment justify the changes pro-
posed. He will urge the Senate and
House members Of the reorganization
commission tomorrow to sanction the
Brown plan approved by him. There
Is a serious question whether the ma
tority of these men will indicate their
pprovaL
Whether he>obtains this approval or
not the President will certainly trans
NIT to Congress the Brown report con-
tanning detailed plans for the reor
ganization of the Government institu-
tions, leaving to the dissenting men,
bers of the commission the privilege
of presenting minority report. The
President Is said to believe he can do
no less than submit to Congress the
report for which he received slegisla-
tive authority to prepare.
The chances for enactment OF any
legislation regarding the subject at
the present short session of Congress
are remote. The reorganization scheme
will meet opposition at the outset, and
presumably Of the same sort as that
which the Roosevelt plan encountered
sixteen years ago. The vigorous bat
tie then waged by the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration on Congress to obtain the
adoption of the Keep reorganization
plan continued for several months. 1t
ended in the pigeonholes of the COM
mittees to which it was referred.
Students Of government and eco
nomics who have been consulted re-
garding the present reorganization
venture declared it to be sound. rea-
sonable and prospectively beneficial to
both the Government and the country.
They believe that if Congress would
seriously turn it's attention to apprais-
ing its merits Congressional as well us
popular sentiment would iEdorse the

CANARIES TUNE UP

Duke Of Wellington, Who Has

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-The only thing In
the canary line that wasn't being exhib-
tied at the International Roller Canary
Breeders Association annual show to-day
was Canary wine. Fifteen hundred
feathered songs.ers tuned up for the
elimination contest that will decide the
champion roller canary singer OF the
world.
The Duke of Wellington, which has
sung for King George of England and
other notables, Is the favorite for the
big silver loving cup that will be awarded
embematie of the championship.
Hes the finest singer in all England
Is the Duke" asserted p. Greenall OF
Manchester who will act as senior judge
Of the contest.
The judges will determine the cham
pion songster through "A series OF elm
nations during the week, four canaries

stage at the Hotel Sherman.
Fife little would be" opera stars ar
rived from the Southwest to-day for the

They are regular cowboy singers,
said Howard Fogg. secretary of the as
sociation. They sing nothing but jazz
Their voices are shrill and unmelodious
Consequently we cannot enter them In
the contest nor allow them to hobnoh

canary voices cause the good ones to de-

by Chairman Brown aru basod on the
disinclination OF members OF the Cabt
net TO surrender Joint or participating
power over Government agencies,
which under tho present archaic and
complicated system fall within the
Jurisdiction Of moro than one depart
,nent. This Is notably true Of the
Agricultural. Interior, the Commerce,
Labor, and to some extent OF the
State Department.
The heads Of these bureaus have
contended that the segregation Of
authority over disputed subordinate
bureaus would cause an immense
amount Of confusion and In the end
cos. a great deal more money than
ut present, thereby defeating the
major purpose for which the reor-
ganization scheme was designed, that
OF econmy.
Unofficial but apparently reliable
opinion has indicated a wide and posi-
tive division Of opinion between the
President and some Of the members
Of his official family over details Of
the plan. Whether he has succeeded
In removing this opposition is mat
ter Of conjecture. The understanding
OF Congressional leaders is that he has
not done so. There is great deal Of
speculation regarding the more recent
attitude Of Secretary Of War Weeks
and Secretary of the Navy DENLY re-
garding that proposal contained in
the Brown report to consolidate the
two armed branches into one depart
ment.
Under the Brown plan the new de-
partment would function under one
Cabinet member with assistants in
charge of the army and navy respec-
lively. The advantages of the con-
solidation have been clearly pointed
out by Mr.. Brown and indorsed by the
President. Whether he has reconciled
Secretaries Weeks and DENLY to it is
uncertain.
Another and even more serious ele-
ment in the situation is the manifestly
unfriendly attitude Of members Of
Congress to any Encouragement of the
Government service. Politics, Of
course, is at he back Of this opposi-
tion
Persons holding important positions
in the Government service which
would be abolished by the reorganiza-
tion plan are taking their troubles to
Senators and Representatives and
seeking the defeat of any scheme that
might affect their personal welfare.
Propaganda of this sort has caused
the President embarrassment. The
persistence Of it recently inspired him
to announce that any Government

friendly sentiment to the reorganiza-

that these workers had been attacked

Washington. ID. c.. Dec. 13.
To carry out a suggestion by Presi-
dent Harding in his recent message to
Congress Senator Lodge fMass.), Re-
publican floor leader, introduced to-day
joint resolution to pave the way for
an amendment to the Constitution which
would give Congress power to prohibit
and to regulate child labor. The pro-
posed amendment reads:
The Congress shall have power to
prohibit or to regulate the hours of
labor in mines. quarries. mills. can
neries. workshops. factories or manu-
featuring establishments of persons un-
der IS years of age and of women
This action follows decisions of the
Supreme Court declaring unconstitu-
tional child labor legislation by Con-
gress. including a section of the reve-
nue. bill which would impose heavy
tax on all goods made by children in
shops and factories.
