A New Iowa Idea.

The old saying that there is nothing
credited by the demand of the Iowa
Republican central committee that
Smith w. Brookhart be denied the
seat in the United States Senate to
which he was elected last November.
Certainly the demand raises a new
issue in American politics, and one
that is full to the brim of interesting
possibilities.
Demand that Senator Brookhart be
debarred is not based on allegation
that he did not receive a requisite
number of legal votes, but it is
charged that he was guilty of fraud
and deceit" in that he obtained the
senatorial nomination as Republican
and continued to pose as a Republican
until the time for fling independent
candidates. had expired and until it
was no longer possible for him to be
removed from the Republican ticket"
whereupon he repudiated the national
candidates and platform of the Repub-
AASoiA D1A ~ anu oOEPOl bCb LILO ScllOl
dacies Of La Toilette and Wheeler and
the platform upon which they stood.
Members Of the Republican party
were thereby deprived of having a
candidate for United States Senator" !"
the Iowa committee asserts.
Senator Brookhart already has been
punished" for his disaffection by the
Senate Republican caucus, which read
him out Of the party. But to under
take to read him out of the Senate for
the same offense is something very
different. The Constitution takes no
account Of political parties or of party
nominations. Party loyalty is no
where made a test Of fitness for Office.
It Is true the Constitution makes the
Senate the sole Judge Of the election
and qualification of its members, but
never in the past has it been proposed
to unseat Senator on the ground
that he was disqualified by disloyalty
TO his party, or that such disloyalty
constituted fraud Of a character to In
validate his election. If the Senate

Not a Suicide Job.

In farewell speech to newspa per'
correspondents stationed at the White
House c. Bascom Slemp, secretary to
the President, took occasion to dis
credit a popular belief that the duties
OF the presidential office are necessar-
lily such as to break down the health
OF the incumbent. In support Of his
denial that election to the presidency
must be regarded as form OF sui
eide" Secretary Slemp cited the fact
that President Coolidge has gained
eight pounds in weight since succeed
ing TO the Office and continues In
splendid health.
We often hear It said that what is
one mans meat is another mans poi
son, and this may well be true of the
presidential duties; that the effect Of
these duties upon the Presidents
health depends upon the tempera.
ment OF the man. It is a common
place In positions of less responsibility
that one man will .succumb and an
other flourish under equal burdens.
Much depends upon the way the man
goes about his tasks. If he can do
his days work and when the day is
done put his problems aside and en-
gage In wholesome recreation, he will
last much longer than If he carries
his work problems. with him when he
tries to play.
President Coolidge, according to
Secretary Slernp, trains for the work
OF his office as prizef1ghter trains
for fight" He has his meals at reg
ular hours, keeps regular hours at his
desk, is regular in his exercise and
recreation and gets plenty Of sleep
And, though Mr.. Slemp does not so
specify, it is probable that after do
ing each task to the best Of his ability
he refuses to worry over the manner
OF its doing. Given a sound body TO
start with, any man by following such
program can do an enormous
amount of work without impairment
Of his health.
Mr.. Slemp does not exaggerate the
popular belief that the presidency has
become a killing job. Prevalence of
this belief is due to the undoubted
fact that President Wilson sacrificed
his health TO the great tasks he had
undertaken, and that President Hard
ing died in Office because his resist
ance to disease had been weakened by
overwork. With two such object les
sons before him President Coolidge
IS wise to train like a prizefghter"
and to insist upon regularity in his
hours Of relaxation. The public will
rejoice that by such. methods he is
not only preserving his health but
thriving upon the herculean labor he
has been called upon to perform.
