WHO GETS THE EXERCISED
(YonkerS Herald)

I IouhCIo
One Of the annual lamentations
of the physical culturist has its an
niversary on the opening of the
baseball season. Seeing thousands
seated in the stands while eigh-
teen players run around the field
the opponents Of daily-dozens
grieve that the thousands are not
on the field and the eighteen in the
stands.
Those who believe that the play
er gets all the health and exercise
out Of the ball game prove their is-
norance Of the national pastime.
There is just as good cause to say
that the player should be sent up
into the stands for his exercise.
While the eighteen players are
loaflng around in their dugouts or
on the field, stopping a ball that oc-
casionally comes their way. strik-
ing at the ball one eighteenth Of
the time. running bases once in a
while and hurting the sphere
among themselves; while the eigh-
teen men on the field are going
through this feeble eyertion TO-
600 fans up in the stands are yell
ing themselves hoarse. madly wav-
ing their arms and as vigorously
jumping up and down.
An incurable baseball fan can
put more physical effort in ball
game than the physical culturist
can put in his clubs, rings and
hobby horses. And then, people
who are healthy enough to enjoy a
baseball game are not usually in
any immediate need of extra ex-
ercise.

ineffective" and futile" This is
the newest form Of propaganda
against President Coolidge. 1t is
acknowledged that the people are
with him, and that he is generally
right and Congress usually wrong
on the things on which they differ.
But it is claimed that he lacks
the power to make" Congress do
things, and that the failures of Con-
gress must therefore be laid to his
account.
Results will have to show whether
there is foundation Of fact for this
complaint. But the interesting thing
is the revelation Of our changed
attitude toward executive and legis-
lative responsibility.
Definitely, we demand Of the pres
ident legislative leadership. and we
judge him, not merely by the right
ness of his policies. but by his sue
cess in getting Congress to adopt

Prohibition Law Is Here to Stay
"What is to be done? That is for
the lawmakers to say" So argues
the most widely read of the cynics
on prohibition.
The trouble is that it is not true.
1t is not for the lawmakers" but
for the law enforcers and the people.
There is nothing the lawmakers can
do. They might theoretically make
minor changes in the Volstead Act,
but any change that would interest
the "wets" would be unconstitutional
and would be thrown out by the su-
preme court.
Inc law Is tnefe TO stay, and could
not be changed. substantially. even
if there were any possibility of get
ting lawmakers who wished to do so.
And that is impossible, too. Most
of the "wet" vote is concentrated,
to make huge majority in few
districts, all of which already have
wet representatives.
So electing a wet Congress is an
impOssibility, and it could not con-
stitutionally pass any wet law, even
if it we're elected.
Is there, then, nothing to do?"
Yes; two things. The enforce
ment officers can enforce the law
we'll or ill. The people can obey or
disobey it. That is all.
