| am enclosing, little Marqu,se,
clipping from the society columns OF
The Albany Express about Alice
Hartley's wedding.

how we of today conduct these at

from the way they were conducted,
when you possibly hoped that you
might be the wife of king instead

You will see that the reporter
raved a little she said:
To-day at high noon, Miss Alice
Hartley and MIR. Porter Breed WE'RE
married at st. Johns Episcopal
Church.
The wedding was perhaps the
most impressive and elegant that has
ever been solemnized in this city.
Although the invitations were quite
informal, as the wedding was rather
a hurried one, every society matron
and maid seemed to have purchased
a new gown for the occasion.
"The whole interior of the church
was bower Of spring blossoms.
The chancel was completely covered
with lilies Of the valley and orchids.
Its beauty was so overpowering that
it almost overawed the guests.
There was little Of the usual gay
whispering while waiting the arrival
Of the bride.
ut is probable that never in the
history of Albany society has there
been such an exquisite wedding
pageant as proceeded the beautiful
bride up the aisle Of St. Johns
Church.

and educated young men regarded
muscle as more honorable than
brains. Probably not one of them
personally would admire a robust
od-carrier above the leader of one
of the learned professions.
But it doubtless did indicate that
they regarded prominence in the
sight Of their fellows as the most
desirable human achievement. Under
the competitive system. a successful
athlete has had the chance to earn
applause before audiences of tens
or hundreds of thousands and to
have his name blazoned by the press
to millions.
Scholarship, while admittedly
nobler achievement, brings no such
reward. Measured by this standard,
the choice, while not altruistic. was
not foolish.
Don't Blame the French For Re.
fusing Payments
! The French object to the payment
"in kind" of several hundred rail
way cars by the Germans, in spite
of the fact that it is provided by
the treaty and by the Dawes plan,
and that it is in return for French
cars carried off by the Germans.
What we all want is that our
creditors shall pay US, in full, in
money. There is, to be sure, not
money enough in the world to do it,
and il there were, its transfer in
such quantities from one country to
another would destroy it's value by
the very process of transfer.
All great international debts must
be paid, directly or indirectly, in
kind, or they cannot be. paid at all.
But don't blame the French for re-
fusing to recognize this. Do you,
for our debts?

Where Is Government by the

Legislatures have been meeting all

first of the year. Most Of them have
adjourned, or are about to adjourn.
Every one of them had dumped into
its hopper ten times more bills than

gest.

influence or log-rolling, during the
main body of the season. In the
final days, everything was rushed

Of it, and was generally applauded
for so doing.

was beyond the physical and mental
capacity of the governor, too. So he

and unofficial friends, none of them

BY THE PRESIDENT

Washington, Feb. 1S-President
Coolidge added a new chapter today
to the air service controversy by
making public the report Of spec

sea warfare" and that airplanes
would never assume paramount i'm

At the same time the president is
