opinion of officials is that the hue and

ceeds largely from Americas upper
classes who are feeling the pinch OF
prohibition and that the rich man
today is face TO face with the situa-
tion which confronted the poor man
in the first three months after the

The attitude of the upper classes is
to some extent based upon the theory
that they can violate liquor laws as

\ RESIDENT COoLIDGEs nomination

n RESIDENT CooLIDGE's nomination
for the presidency by the republican
party. in 1924 is being discussed by
party leaders almost as matter of course.
From time to time prominent repubi-
cans take pains to explain why every con-
sideration Of party expediency, as well as
personal merit, warrants the assumption
that the national convention will deem it the
part of wisdom to give him the nomination.
The Presidents present course and policy
i'll deprecating political speculation, the while
he devotes himself to the affairs of govern
ment, is not doing his political prospects
even little bit of harm. President Coolidge
is sincere in his attitude, the politicians
realize it. and it rebounds to his advantage
and credit.
Ohio, the home of the late President
Harding, it seems. is ready to acquiesce in
the view that President Coolidge should be
given the nomination, according to Senator
Willis of that state, who placed Mr.. Harding
in nomination in 1920, and who would be in
the "favorte son" class if contest for the
nomination were in prospect. He predicts
that. Ohio, approaching President Coolidges
course in carrying on" with the admnistra-
tons policies, will be willing to give him
warrant to carry on for four years more.

1t will no: be long now before the gossip
and speculation in political circles will turn
upon the available or prospective timber for
second place the republican national
ticket. Geographical and factional consider
at;ons will be taken into account. it is said
by the leaders, with third element included
to larger degree than ever before-itness
and availability.
Politicians say that the country has just
had the realization impressed upon it and
emphasized OF the wisdom of choosing the
candidate for the vice presidency with equal
the head of the ticket. Not because
aspirant for the vice presidency is the
possessor OF barrel" as has been the case
at times in both parties in the past, is he to

be selected, but because he has had training
in public life and possesses executive ability
Geographical considerations will enter,
because the candidate will be expected to
have influence for the republican ticket in a
pivotal or close state. 1t is believed that the
vice presidential nominee will be identified
with the progressive faction of the party.
President Coolidge through his afiliation
with the progressive element of the party in
Massachusetts,, is known to have fellow
feeling for the progressive wing and is in
sympathy with many of their ideals and poll
cies He is. it is declared, deeply intent upon
harmony in the party, being firm believer
in the destiny and responsibility of his party.
Since President Harding's death the atten-
tion of the country has been drawn to the
onerousness OF the Office of Chief Executive
and the terrific strain and wear and tear it
entails. More than once the suggestion is
heard that the President should be relieved
of more of the detail Fred Starek of the
War Finance Corporation tells incident
which occurred just before President Hard
ing left for the west. He said the President
was contemplating a mass OF documents Oil
his desk, and, in a tone OF deep distress, re-
marked: NO man in the world can do this
job alone!'
Yet, difficulties at once present themselves
when it comes to suggestions of distribution
OF executive authority. There must be some
where an executive power lodged in last
resort. This is especially true in questions
involved in the overlapping and ofttimes con-
fcting authority of different executive de-
partments over the same subject. One of the
most delicate tasks that confront the Chief
Executive is the composing of differences
that arise between and among the depart
ments, each sensible of pride of authorship
and tenacious of privilege and power.
X x x
Congress- too, is jealous OF delegation OF
power, and loath to distribute responsibility.
The more the question is considered from
all its angles, the more difficult does it seem
of solution that will give practical relief
to the Chief Executive and yet enable the

of races having widely varying cul-
ture and religion.
In order to effect the settlement of
the refugees plans have been made
for an international loan and a COM
plete survey has been made of the ag-
ricultural and industrial condition Of
the country. This survey shows that
with time and money to reclaim the
necessary land and start the ncces-
sary industries, the refugees can be
made not only self-supporting. but a
source Of great economic strength to
Greece.
Unfortunately the preliminary work
Of draining and irrigating land. build

ments, tools, animals, etc, for such a

Immediately available, which is not
the case. AS the laws of nature de-
mand that even refugees must eat,
and as under the most favorable Cir
cumstances they can produce nothing
before the harvest of 1924, it is OBJ
vious that money must be found to
feed them.
The international commission which
has aided Greece in making study
Of the situation, estimates the cost OF
feeding the refugees at $40 each per
month. so therefore the amount de-
manded by the Italian government for
crime for which the responsibility
has not been fixed. would care for
half a million of the refugees for
more than two months.

official, expressed his willingness, but

And now to the question Of why
italy does not defer to the league OF
nations. The utmost care is exer-
cised in order to keep the most i'm

orders from the governments to which
it's members respectively belong and
! because 1t is not tribunal independ-

would be considered immoral in any
court in the universe. But the Judges
Of the league of nations are all OF
this: they are creditors or debtors OF

would directly harm or benefit them
Moreover. in the case of Italy, by de-

One suggestion is to extend the classified
civil service so as to relieve the President of
some of the burden of deciding patronage
distribution. Right there, in that suggestion
the Congress and the politicians find their
toes being stepped on hard Take away or
materially lessen their patronage and you
diminish party organization and political ef
fectiveness of party leaders and minor work
ers. 1t makes the political game harder to
play, with no pawns or prizes.
=. The present system of aliocating certain
classes of patronage to senator's, others to
members of the House and others to national
committeeman takes a great deal of burden
off the Chief Executives shoulders, but at its
best there come times when they all get into
sQuabble and have to take their troubles
to the head of the party for settlement
President Coolidge at this very time has a
case on hand where senator from middle

a federal judgeship and the national commit

blow up with loud bang if the appointment
is made. And only yesterday the national
