bureau will be investigated and thai the republican leaders will not offer objection to a continuation of the in quiry. We'll. well, and again, well. Ii there is one cabinet officer whom President Coolidge has been strongly flor" it has been Secretary Mellon His suggestions have been accepted by the president as perfect and. especial ly when they first appeared as inn possible of being improved upon. Of course the Mellon proposals did not come through with all the eclat pre- dicted, but that is another matter. The interesting point at the moment is why this attitude of complacency toward such an inquiry on the part of the republican leaders? Have they something up their sleeve; do they think that the investigation will prove such a fiasco and that Secretary Mel Ion and the bureau will come out with such flying colors that the democrats will be discredited? Or do they feel that the attitude they have held up to date namely one of appearing to block all investigations has been an unpop- ular attitude in the peoples sight? Do they fear that further objection to throwing some light on the way things are done at Washington under this administration will give the impress sion of being afraid of the develop ments which might come were the in- yestigations carried farther?
 or-and the thought is, rerolu- tionary one, scarce believable--have they reached the conclusion that they are tired of standing by President Coolidge's friends: that they don't care if they show the people in how little esteem they. these leaders. hold the chief executive; have they decid- ed that, at this last minute. President
 
 Coolidge is not the only small, round object on the approach to the ocean that another candidate may be pre- sented as the republican standard bearer at the convention?
 President coolidge's strength with the ordinary republican voters throughout the country has been shown. Similarly the unwillingness of the republicans at Washington to fol- low the presidents leadership has been shown-if it may be said that President Coolidge has attempted leadership" The men in Washington know the presidents qualities, for strength, wisdom. or the reverse, far better than do those who have voted for him in the republican primaries. Have those mo in Washington made up their minds that tho president has a stubborn, rather than firm strain, or that silence comes often from some- thing not as estimable as strength? In all seriousness tho question Is ask cd--have the republican leaders de- cided that as candidate against man with a vital. living personality backed by sound judgment and deci- sion of character, President Coolidge will not do?

yIGE-PRESIDENTS

"Nice-p presidential nominees of the two party conventions next month are likely to assume a greater importance than has ever been attached 10 candi- dates for that position in the history of the United States" declares George II. Manning, of the Washington Bureau of the Herald. He does not base this assertion on the fact that the late Theodore Roosevelt and Pres ident Coolidge have come, compara- lively recently, into national promi- nence because of the death Of the pres ident while they held the second places in the country.
 The basis for Mir. Manning's asser- ton is his belief that the latest de- yelopments in the political arena all boint 10 third party movement, probably headed by Sen. La Toilette and that such a move would almost certainly make sufficient inroads into the strength of the two regular parties to prevent a choice of president by the electoral college and throw the election into the house of representa- tives-and as at present the com pIexion of that body would make the choice of a president impossible. the office would devolye upon the vice. president elected by the senate from the two highest candidates for that office"
 This presents novel thought. In sense. and opens interesting pathways for political prophets given to sur missing. But the whole fabric falls if it be not granted that the third party movement will dovelop--and 1t Is significant that without Ia Toilette there would be little talk of third party
 And it would seem somewhat waste of time to consider the political possibilities that would follow the ris- ing of a strong third party movement when we have serious doubts concern- ing such a movement being carried farther than the vague rumblings al- ready heard by the men who keep their ears close to the ground. We would hazard a guess that Senator La Toilette is far to wise politician to head such a movement this year with the almost universal popular republi. can backing being given President Coolidge and the strenuous efforts that will be made to select in the demo- cratic party a man strong enough to take advantage Of the excellent pros poets democratic candidate would have this year. Without La Toilette, therefore, no third party; without third party movement, no failure of the electoral college to make deci- sion; without such failure, no holding of the office by the vice-president.
 Added importance will undoubtedly be given to the selection of.the vice presidential candidates. and Nr. Man ning's suggestion is Of extreme inter- est for the political analysts. But the added care that will be given to the selection Of these candidates will probably not be because Of any third party movement.

CA Reminisccnce by pr. TraprockI

CA Reminiscence by Dr. TraprocD
 had asked my friend Traprock if he believed the story of the faithful iattle-snake who held up a burglar while he stuck his tail out Of the win dow and rattled for the police.
 Absolutely" said the great trav- eler. "Do you see that snalte-skin draped over the mantel? That was once Worn by Bettina, my pet python, whom l captured near the waterhole of Rhat in the Sahara. I always use the Hindoo method in capturing rep- tiles, viz. to charm them with music. used to go out on the edge of the oasis with my harjnonica and l found that the Banana Song went just as big with the animal kingdom as with humans One day as I was playing it over softly l felt the pliant folds of Bettina gently wrapping herself around me. From then on We became inseparable companions.
 "She used to sleep coiled about my waist, and very useful she was too. for I in this land of surprisingly cold nights she took the place Of a hot water bot 1 tie admirably.
 And then came the tragedy-a fire. Fire in the desert is terrible because it { is an unusual thing.
