over, the right to take power out Of
Maine might have been worded more
carefully. But these now are details
only and I shall not mphasize them.
We face conditions. not theories.

needs to keep her young people at

They see a future if the Cooper pro-
ject becomes a reality. I want to
help them make it so.
LAS to the engineering and financ-
ing Of this great undertaking I am
not now prepared to speak. Mr.. Coop
er has studied it and believes in it.
The idea is catching. Without ex-
pressing anything more than a cas-
ual opinion, I am prepared to say
that the project appears on the sur
face to be feasible. 1 do not, how
ever, hesitate to say that the project
from point of view Of public policy
is entirely unobjectionable.
1.-THE passage of the bill by the vo-
ters of Maine will not constitute a
precedent for invading our LONG es-
tablished, and to my mind, our sound
policy for the non-transmission. In
one way 1t emphasizes and re-en-
forces it.

| that on the contrary 1t was in direct
conflict with American institutions.
"Other opponents in discussing the
| question of reform Of the senate rules,
| endeavor to create the impression
| that they are to be regarded in i'm
portance as If they were part Of our
, organic law" he declared. "They are
not organic law. The constitution is
the instrument through which our
forebears designed to limit the rights
of the majority and to insure that
the ultimate judgment Of the people
passed into law as distinguished from
passing phrase Of popular opinion.
1T provided that a bill must pass
both houses of congress before 1t be-
came law; that then the President
may veto it, in which event 1t must
be passed over that veto by a two
thirds vote Of both houses of con-
sress. The supreme court then has
the power to examine the law in It's
relation to the preservation of those
minority rights, and the rights of the
states outlined in the Constitution,
and if 1t finds any of them are over
ridden. then the Supreme Court de-
clares the law to be unconstitutional
and void.
1T is absurd to maintain that the
original rules and of the senate
providing for majority cloture, which
were in effect for the first II years of
its existence, and which were aban-
doned only because the small mem
bership of the senate made them un-
necessary, did not accord with the
spirit of the Constitution or of Amer
lean institutions. They did accord
with them and if these rules had con-
tinued in force, the system of legis-
lative barter would not have grown
UP and the will, at times, of an in
dlvidual senator or a minority of the
senate could not be substituted for
the will of the people as expressed in
the manner and by the method pres
cribed by the Constitution.
1T is not relevant to say that ma
jorities In the United States are tenn
pcrary. OF course they are. The
Constitution provided for frequent
elections and thus insured that ma
jcrities should remain temporary. We
are a government of the people un-
der constitutional limitat tions, and
neither free democracy, an obligar-
chy or monarchy. The principles
OF an obligarchy or a monarchy are
those. in effect which are urged
against the reform of the senate rules,
to wit: that the will of an individual
or Of minority in the senate should
at times, be substituted for that ulti-
mate judgment Of the people repre-
sented by a readiness to legislate on
the part of the two houses of con-
gress, in agreement with the Presi-
dent who must sign the bill; all be-
ing ready to act under their consti-
tutional rights, subject again to the
possible intervention of the Supreme
Court.
ITO re-establish the majority clo-
ture provided for in the rules Of the
senate during the first II years Of its
existence, and thus check the intol-
erable evils which have arisen be-
cause of IS absence, would be a re-
turn to the first principles of the AM
erican government and of American
institutions and not a departure from
them.

President Has Char. = to
Settle Big Issues on
Omaha Jaunt.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. TO-
President Coolidse's trip to Omaha
for the American Legion convention
early next month will give him a
chance to kill three birds with one
stone.
He will be able to efface what little
resentment remains among the
legionnaires for his veto of the sol.
diers' bonus and to present through
the Omaha speech his future program
for the care of debilitated victims Of
the great war.
If he yields to the deulge of re-
quests from western regular politicians
he will stop. in Iowa long enough to
attempt to compose the bitter differ
ences which threaten the busting of
Senator Smith W. Brookhart via the
Senate recount, and the possible de-
feat next year of Senator Cummins.
A third possibility is settling the
row among Republicans in the debat-
able state of Missouri. where a score
of regulars and irregulars threaten TO
contest for the seat of the late Sena.
tor Selden W. Spencer.
The trip likewise will afford the
President the first personal insight
into conditions in the great agricul-
tural belt in which 100000 farmers
have gone bankrupt. many banks have
failed and farm property values de-
creased s13,000.000yO00 in the past
few years.
The Presidents itinerary is being
made up with great care. Despite
the Presidents interest in the mat
ter. diligence will be exercised against
any impression that he is meddling
in state or partisan conflicts.
His present intention is to reject
all invitations to stop en- route, but
HIS special train will doubtless pick
up many politicians in states through
which he masses
