The Inauguration.

There was printed on this page yes.
terday an appeal by Frederic William
Vile to the President of the United
States to do for the sake of the great
American Boy something he seldom,
if ever, does-namely, to change his
mind. He was urged on behalf of that
well known American character to re-
wise his determination to restrict the
coming inaugural parade to a rather
drab-colored and brief cortege, and
asked in a way that, if he read it, must
have made some impression on him.
No man who as a lad saw an old
fashioned inaugural procession, or
who even dreamed of seeing one, could
read without pang of sympathetic
longing that article in which Mr.. VILE
appealed to Mr.. Coolidge to suppress
his distaste for show and to be a boy
himself again just for day; to re-
member that on March 4 he is some
thing more than just a man, or an
official, with likes and ~dislikes.

all over this country boys who either

Wichita Beacon Independent Re

Senator he obtained a wholesome ex-
perience in the field of quasi-legfsla-
tive treatment of treaties, and he
should be successful cabinet mem

Francisco Bulletin independently ''Afr.
Kellogg is a man OF experience both
in domestic and international affairs,
and his service at London has bean
marked by promptness and dignity.
That he is notably qualified" the Bull
letin thinks, FOR the work he is now

The Seattle Times independent Re
publican) considers Mr.. kellogg "a
man of unusual capabilities" and
sees in his experience abroad and his
studies of the problems under con-
sideration by the allied nations as
highly valuable as the incoming SEQ
retary of State.
From Mr.. KelIoggs home State the

facts to say that his course has been

this very responsible place comes
from President Coolidge, who, obvi-
ously enough, entertains a higher

agreement at Paris which amounts
to q triumph for the American views
against British opposition on our

His career in the Senate and later
as Ambassador to Great Britain
should fit him admirably to head the
nations cabinet" says the Spokan4
Chronicle (Republican). There Is
nothing in his record to support the

! or wholesome. 40 that, denied to the
States, it might by Inference be vested
| in Congress. They denounced it as
| intrinsically and in essence abhorrent.
In explaining and defending this con-
stitutional prohibition, the Federalist
says: Laws impairing the obliga-
! ton of contracts are contrary to the
first principles of the social contract
and to every principle OF sound legis-
lation."
Such laws are fundamentally
vicious and hurtful everywhere and
by whomsoever enacted. When
passed by a State Legislature they
are unconstitutional, and when passed
by Congress, without specific consti-
tutional authorization and when act
ing as the Districts State Legisla-
ture, they violate certainly the spirit
and probably the letter of the Con-
stitution.
The reasonable plea in behalf of
the Capital community as whole,
including home owners, tenants and
landlords, all of the $4,000 real estate
owners and the entire $4,000 popu-
lation, is that in rents legislation the
President and Congress shall check,
punish and, for the future, as far as
possible prevent e>ttortion through
excessive rents, by effective measures
which shall not inf1ict destructive in

without due process of law upon

shall not inflict hurtful violation OF

tonians.

The Senate Gives Advice.

Some surprise seems to have been
ate yesterday adopted, without debate
or a record vote. an amendment to
the naval bill authorizing and re.
questing" the President to invite
other nations to a conference for the
limitation of ornaments. Just why
there should be surprise is not ap-
parent. 1t would rather have been
an occasion for surprise had the pro-
poSal been made the subject of se-
rious debate or a record vote upon
it demanded. For the resolution
amounts to an expression of amiable
intentions, and not to much else.
The Senate is perfectly within its
rights in thus giving expression TO
its views. An effective agreement
among the nations for the limitation
Of armaments would necessarily take
the form of a treaty. and the Sen
ate is constitutionally a part OF the
treatymaking power of this Govern
ment. competent. to give advice and
TO give or withhold assent. In ''au-
thoriZing and requesting" the Presi-
dent to call an armaments conference
it is making use of its prerogative
to give advice, and nothing more.
The President is in no way bound
to follow the advice given, any more
than he has need of the authority
carried in the Senate pronouncement,
He already has all the authority
gotiations looking to the formulation
of treaties, and that authority can
neither be enlarged nor diminished
by Senate resolution. The President
is not required to negotiate a treaty
because the Senate advises him to,
nor is the Senate required to ratify a
treaty because the President has ne
gotiated it.
The Senate's action, therefore, is to
be commended as a re-eIpression Of
Americas oft-expressed desire for
peace and good will among the ma
tions. Anything that tends to make
nations and peoples think in terms
of peace instead of in terms Of war
is a distinct contribution to better
understanding But before the Pres
ident undertakes to summon the ma
tions of the earth to Washington to
formulate an agreement by which
armaments for war, either upon land
or sea-" shall be effectively reduced
and limited there are practical as
we'll as idealistic considerations he
will have to take into account. A
primary one is the Willingness Of
other nations to attend such a con-
ference and to enter into such an
agreement. Another is Of the causes
which keep nations armed, and ways
in which such causes might be re-
moved. A third, and very important,
consideration is the contribution
which America could make to q
scheme of general limitation Of arma-
ments, especially Of armaments on
land.
OF course, the President could in
vite the nations here and, If they
came, we could give them good ad-
vice. But it is much to. be feared
that our advice, unless accompanied
by a quid pro quo, would not be OF
greater practical effect than was the
advice given yesterday by the Senate
in its amendment to the naval bill.

The mystery of the tall man with
the, rugged face will remain until my
conversationalist of the oyster house
corner at Twelfth and L streets comes
forward to proclaim his identity.
Readers of this column may re-
member that in that former article
after the first paragraph, I said:
'T tell this. not to impress the
reader with my familiarity with Sena-
tors, because he Is the only one
know, but merely to show what a
friendly man Senator Jones is and
how cold that corner was"
1t would seem I do not know even
one Senator, since the genial one
from the great State of Washington
disclaims being the man who froze
me or the corner.
Who Is he?
During the lengthy conversation
that big fellow never once refused &c
take my salutation OF Senator Jones'
and Senator" which l sprinkled in
copiously, as is the manner of most
men when speaking TO a member OF
of our great halls on the Hill.
He told me of his long chautauqua
trip; how he made two speeches q
day, one entitled "At the End OF the
Rainbow" the other having a title
have forgotten. This big chap in the
light-brown overcoat said that he de-
lighted in the places and people he
met; that he learned more about the
United States in this work than he
could in any other sort of endeavor
whatever.
He told of standing on the very
spot IN New Hampshire, or some New
England State, where Ethan Allen
was born and related how the inn
keeper informed him of this interest
ing fact.

Kellogg, as Secretary Of State,
Both Praised and Condemned

A wide difference of opinion exists
| in the expression of editors concern
| ing the selection by President Cool
idge of Frank B. Kellogg as sue
| cessor to Charles E. Hughes as Secre-
tary of State. Estimates of Mr..
Kellogg as head of the State Depart
ment run from high praise of an able
statesman to the curt dismissal with
the opinion that he will be a lame
duck" who may be expected to be a
rubber stamp" man for the President
who will conduct his own foreign
relations.
Mr.. Kellogg is exceptionally quail
fed to carry on the work which Mr.
Hughes drops" declares the New
York Herald Tribune IRepubLcan),
which continues: He was a member
of the Senate foreign relations COM
nittee during the Versailles treaty
deadlock. He was not then and never
has been an isolationist. He thor
oughly understands the Senate's point
of view in foreign affairs and is on
friendly terms with all the Senate
foreign relations committee members.
Mr.. Kellogg will be in an even better
position to win Senate support OF the
world court protocol than Mr.. Hughes
was. He has an exceptional first-han
knowledge of the intricacies of the
reparation problem and will need no
apprenticeship at It, as almost any
| other choice for Secretary OF State
would"
On the other hand, and by way of
contrast, the New York World Cin-
dependent Democratic) says: Mr..
Hughes retires with grace and credit.
1t is Mr.. Coolidge's position that calls
for sympathy. After March 4, with
Mr. Kellogg retained, he will be
without a Secretary of State, without
even subordinate of first-rate
training to carry out whatever poll
oies Mr.. Coolidge has time to formu-
late. Mr.. Coolidge will find that a
burden"
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader Gre
publican) says. Mr.. Kellogg, with
his experience abroad, will, of course,
be no mere rubber stamp. but at the
same time the Secretaryship of State
Is not likely to continue to be as
important post as Mr. Hughes made
it." In the opinion of the Kansas
City Star independently "the coun-
try has had little opportunity to ap-
praise the diplomatic equipment and
services of the new Secretary of
State. President Coolidge has had
such opportunity, and his selection of
Ambassador Kellogg will be ac-
quiesced in because of general con-
f1dence in the Presidents judgment.
In the last four years the foreign
policy of the United States has been
established on traditional and reason
able American lines. 1t Will be the
easy and the expected thing for the
new Secretary to follow In the course
laid down by Mr.. Hughes. If he does
SO he will not go far wrong"

The Ell Paso Herald independently
thinks Mr.. Kellogg's career has been
a we'll rounded one, such as seems
admirably to fit him for the score
