it occurred to her that there was
something odd about the appearance
of one of the tempting little rolls

THE PRESIDENT AND SENATE

The growing indication of a split be-
tween President Coolidge and various
members of the Senate is a token of
something to be avoided if possible. If
there is an open rupture the conse-
quences may be more serious and far
reaching than at present appear That
contingency is a factor in all fights A
man may know where he goes in, but
he is never certain where he will come
out.
AS to the merits Of the present dis
pute, it may be said that the response
bility is largely on the Senate. 1t has
shown radical tendencies that are
not at all assuring to lovers Of good,
sound. democratic government. There
are men in the Senate who seem to be-
lieve that body is the governing power
in the United States government and
that, on no account, must it be inter-
fereG with. Naturally, the President
does not hold that view Under his
oath to preserve, protect and defend the
constitution of the United States he can
not hold that opinion.
1t is not legal for the President to
delegate his powers to any other indi-
vidual or to any number of individuals.
The duties appertaining to the office
of the President of the United States
must. under the law. be carried out by
the President and by none other.
The same rule binds the members
of the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives. They cannot delegate their pow
crs to others and by the same rule, they
cannot themselves, take up the powers
and duties of others They have the
rights, privileges and powers that are
given them under the constitution. They
have no others and can obtain none
except through amendment of the consti-
tuition. The duties of their positions
they Must themselves fulfill. They can
not permit those duties to be carried
out by other persons.
For several months the Senate has
been conducting various investigations.
In handling these inquiries the Senate
has repeatedly gone far outside all rec
ogni7ed rules of securing evidence It
has summoned people from all parts
of the United States, listened to hear
say testimony, suggestions, differences,
and innuendoes of the vaguest descrip-
ton. 1t has done these things, not so
much for the purpose OF uncovering cor
ruption or unearthing fraud as for the
purpose of besmirching political parties
and possible political candidates. From
any angle and from all angles, it is not
a pleasing spectacle.
Recently a portion of a senatorial
committee journeyed TO Ohio for the
purpose of looking into the books OF
a bank conducted by the brother of the
recent attorney general, Mr.. Daugherty
Access to the books was denied and the
Senate is now talking about citing the
brother of Mr.. Daugherty for contempt.
The United States has the right to
summon and examine witnesses for two
causes. Beyond these two it has no
right to summon or examine anybody.
These two things are cases of treason
and pending legislation. The Senate
cannot compel anybody to testify on
any other subjects.
The probable ending of the citation
OF Attorney General Daugherty's broth
er for contempt will be. that the SEN

MAY RUN HIMSELF

Governor Neff is hardly fair to William
G.. McAdoo when he says the latter "haS
the money of corruption in his pocket
1t has never been proved against Nc
Adoo that he took crooked money. excep,
in the moral sense that he took large
fees from Doheny and others for which
he knew he was incapable of making
adequate returns in the way of legal
services. He was perfectly well aware
that he was receiving money for his pos
sible influence in administration circles
III Washington. There is, possibly, moth
ing crooked about such transactions. but
for all that, they do not sit we'll with the
public and a man who aspires to be
President of the United States. the most
exalted position in the world, should
keep himself free of such things.
1t is one of the strong indictments OF
McAdoo as a fit person to be President
that he does not or will not see that the
Doheny money absolutely put him out
of the running for the Presidency. As
soon as it was matter of public lnowl-
edge that he had received money from
Doheny. he announced that his transac-
tons were entirely innocent, BUT that he
would have no more OF them. If they
were innocent, there was no reason why
they should not continue. McAdoo's
conduct in this matter was not dsngen-
uous by any means.
1t is. however, unfair to say that he
has taken crooked money, although it is
enlnently proper to assert that he has
shown himself man who should on no
account he elected President or nom;-
mated for the presidency by any party.
Governor Netf also disapproves of Sen
ator Underwood as Presidential timber,
but his objections to this gentleman are
fair and such as he or any other person
has right to hold. He truly declares
that Senator Underwood is a good ard
capable man but adds that his political
actions and views do not meet the ap-'
proval of Pat M. Neff and therefore. he
is not for Senator Underwood for Pres-
dent.
Senator Underwood and William G..
McAdoo are the leading candidates for
the Democratic nomination. In fact. at
this time, there is no other candidate who
seems to be figuring at all in the race.
If neither of these two men is nominated
the leader of the party will be some
man whose name has not so far been
brought before the country il, really
way.
1t therefore follows that with Under
wood and McAdoo eliminated, the race is
open to many other men, among whom
Governor Neff may, perhaps, by force of
a vivid imagination, picture himself.
However. the governor can content
himself. All lie can do is 70 Jockey him
self into position of some kind in the
event OF a Democratic victory. No Texas
man has any chance for the presidency
or for the nomination until Texas is
something different from an impregnable
Democratic stronghold. Tie governor
may make presidential faces at himself
in the political r,irr.,- but tll.t IS as far
as he will ::etsil that direction.

THAT THIRD PARTY

Reams have been written about di-
vorce, the why and whcrefores of it.
its danger to the nation, why it should
be and why it should not be. Recently.
two judges in California engaged in a
rather futile debate about whether men
or women re-marry more readily after
being divorced In this, much natural
ly came UP about "the third party" to
many divorce cases and how this third
party was Ito blame'
Specifically, the third party to a mat
rimonial difficulty is always to blame.
Here were two whom God had Joined
together presumably living on a plane
commensurate with such joining. and
still having arrived at the parting OF the
ways. Somebody must be to blame,
and needing an official goat what is
more natural than to conclude that the
third party is responsible. Divorce pro-
Iceedings reflect this idea. and chose who
read or handle such petitions are famil-
lar with the statement that Mr.. and
Mrs. So-and-so were living together in
a -superlative state OF happiness until
Such-and-such appeared and broke up
this state.
Perhaps that conclusion is the only
one on which superficial judgment can
proceed, as such judgment needs some
thing on which to vent righteous indig-
nation. The necessity is the venting of
indignation rather than the discovery Of
the true inwardncss OF the case in point.
Knowing really nothing about this, the
ventors are relieved of all actual re-
sponsiblity and have merely expressed
themselves automatically in response to

that breaks in matrimonial relationships,
as well as in love affairs and deep
friendships have long train of causes
and effects that reach back perhaps for
years before the actual break comes. So
many elements contribute to things of

than suggest them. such as. differences

PERIL SEEN IN LACK
Of RURAL DOCTORS
Red Cross Urged to Help In
crease Medical Facilities
! for Countryside.


Imminent danger to the health of
American people in the rural districts
within the next ten years turks in the
threatening and continued loss of doc
tors in such communities, according
to DR.. Charles +. Emerson, dean of
the school of. medicine of Indiana
University.
Painting a dire picture of this loss,
and what he said was the most seri-
Gus thing in medical practice today,
Dean Emerson appealed to the AmerI-
can Red Cross, in the closing session
of its fourth annual convention last
night. to step into the breach, and
with its nurses, help to turn the tide
before it is too late.
The way was rapidly opening. Dean
Emerson warned. for a flood of dan

branded as vicious" What the rural
communities need. he declared en-
pha tically. is not only education IN
matters of health, but actual care OF
the sick, and he asked the Red Cross
to put its nurses into such CommunI-
ties, opening a way for a public
health nurse and for more doctors.

Payne said the Red Cross was not a
personality.
Its an ideal" he said; 'it has its
birthplace in the very essence of the

in the heart of the human being,
wholly separated from sect or creed.
The Red Cross is service, and service
is sacrifice"
The chairman of the Red Cross en-
phasized its close connection with the
Government and asked the delegates
to bear this in mind especially in
communities where funds are raised
through war chest a subject of
spirited debate during the convention.
Judge Payne also told the story of
Japanese relief, in which more than
S11.000.000 was sent to Japan. every
dollar contributed. All expenses of
administration, he said, had been
borne by the Red Cross out of it's
regular funds He praised the work

salaries were kept low, and not in

they must have at the head IA doctor

Dean Emerson scored what he call
ed medical attention. as being re-

illness Of today. This, he explained
was different from medical service,
defined as what the patient needs

told the Red Cross, had been the

Dean Emerson criticized as making

Says States Can't Help.

The States themselves are not in
position to help. Dean Emerson re-
ported, saying he had personally cor
responded with the secretary OF the
State board of health of every State
within the past few months on the
question. Not one. except MichlSah,
according TO Dean Emerson. has the
legal authority to step in and save
the situation, and that one has the
money only to put doctors and nurses
in the field in one small spot.
"Too many calls for too small fees
was pointed to as one of the troubles
of the small country doctor of today.
The fees in many instances, said the
speaker, ARE now one-half what they
were in 1860. and then money brought
more" He said. however, such prac-
tice could be made lucrative.
Dean Emerson was emphatic in his
condemnatio of the small hospital
which is controlled either by "A nurse,
efficient though she be, or a board,
