Most Of President Buffers addresses, even on
academic occasions, turn sooner or later to affairs Of
State. This was the case with the paper which he
read yesterday before the Institute Of Arts and Sciene-
Is on THE Lost Art of Thinking. It showed once
more that he seldom speaks without feeling that some
of his words are, in the legal phase. affected with q
public interest,". H had a good deal to say about po-
litical thought. Too little Of it Of the right kind he
finds in our democracy, but makes the point that there
is still less Of il in those responsible for the conduct Of
our government. To his mind ii is clear that while
in some countries the attitude and actions Of Govern
ment are fully abreast Of popular feeling and desire,
or even in advance of them, in other countries, among
them, the United States, the attitude and action of
government in respect to more than one matter Of
greatest concern is notably behind popular feeling and
desire"
DR.. Buffers chief illustration is the failure thus
far Of the American Government to advance as rapidly
as the convictions and demands Of the American peo-
pie as concerns the steps to be taken to prevent a re-
currence of war. While many citizens have given
long and anxious attention to the subject, and have adj
vsnced plan after plan, the party in power since the
armistce has done little or nothing. The government
has Jagged far behind the leaders Of thought, OF whom
it was supposed TO represent. Great projects were pro-
posed. won wide approval. and seemingly we're in a fair
way TO be accepted. But "as months passed, political
partisanship. personal animosity and sheer stupidity
raised their heads again" and threw fatal obstacles in
the way Of those who were seeking to lay the founda-
tions for a safer and better world.
Whether this misfortune could have been sverted
by taking thought no one can positively say. Perhaps
the public thought which men in office could detect
was not common enough, not sufficiently concentrat-
ed, to move them to action. An administration, or a
Prime Minister, dependent upon popular support often
has to wait long until sure that the time has come to
take the tide at the full. Lord Cromer once compared
a ruler in a modern democracy to a man in a boat
waiting off the mouth Of an Australian tidal river for
precisely the right wave TO carry him over the bar. If
he sails in too soon he will be wrecked. And it is a
wise statesman under representative government who
knows just when the swell of popular feeling is strong
enough to carry him forward to his desired haven.

Washington Letter
BY CHARLES r. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-To Sena-
tor Simeon ID. Tess Of Ohio, Wash
ington gossip awards the medal for
getting the worst presidential talk
ing-to" Of the Coolidge administra-
ton.
Tess himself admits he was
'scolded."
He was the first one TO tell that
he'd been con the carpet"
The best guess is that he thought
his wisest plan was 10 own up,
rather than have the story leak out
with exaggerations-though they
say this was an incident il would
take a mighty vivid imagination to
exaggerate-
Tess will be recalled as q very
early caller on President Coolidge.
following the latter's issuance Of his
"do not choose" announcement, "out
west"
But he'll be drafted" added the
Ohio senator, right away.
Others said the same thing at
first, but presently they got the idea
that the president didn't like 1t and
shut up. They may have the same
notion still in the back of their
heads, but they stopped harping on 1T
after the first few days.
Not so Fess. He kept it up.
Now, IL Tess had listed sharply,
he would have overheard certain
cynical remarks politicians were
making, in explanation of his insist
ence upon the drafting" of the
president, 10 run again.
He would have heard them sur
missing that he (Fess) cared a blame
sight less about the presidents own
welfare, or his party's. than he cared
for his own (Fess) senatorial pros
poets next year. which he probably
figured-so the cynics opined-would
be materially improved by q renewal
OF the Coolidge candidacy at the
same time.
This was not a nice Interpretation
to put upon Senator Tess attitude,
but unfortunately it is not illogical,
from the standpoint Of politicians
who incline to impute selfish mo-
tives to others.
Painful as il is to record, Presi-
dent Coolidge was one Of those who
suspected. at least, that Senator Tess
was speaking about two dozen
words for himself and only one word
for him (the president) in all that
talk about drafting" him in 1928.
We know this is 30, because the

president accused Tess of it point
blank. We know that, too, because
Fess testifies to IL. and il wouldn't
be like him 10 make such a thing up.
Fess called at the executive offices
a few days ago-with not an inkling
that anything was wrong-to discuss
a little matter Of Ohio patronage, so
he said. He entered all smiles. He
came out red as a beet. and obviously
much perturbed. Asked what was
the matter, he told.
However. Fess stands pat. Even if
it ends their friendship. he says he'll
continue TO insist on the drafting
program in 1928.
That ought to prove he's disinter-
ested.

We could find cut much about the oceans at .
very small cost. We have the sonic sounder which
will furnish the depths of the water when IL Is used on
a steamer that may be making 20 knots or more per
hour. If each of the navies of the world should send
two or three destroyers, each equipped with modern
apparatus. we could know the exact eonfiguration OF
the ocean bottoms within . very few years.
IL is a remarkable fact that nearly all the great
earthquakes occur under the oceans, near the edges
Of the continental shelves and in the great ocean deeps.
We need TO have a large number Of chronological sta
tons which will record the time and the intensity Of
the earthquake shocks. From such records the exact
location Of the earthquake can be determined.
Some Of these days we shall have an earthquake
map with dots OF varying Sizes or colors showing the
earthquake locations and the intensities Of the quakes,
Just as now we have cyclone and hailstorm maps. All
Of these studies require the cooperation Of men Of diff
ferent countries; the problem cannot be solved By any
one nation.
Cooperation can only be obtained By having the
men come together to talk over formally or informally
the various problems before them. After the confer
enees, mmittee could be appointed which could set
forth the various problems to be attacked and outline
methods by which these problems may be solved.
We have the big question as to why we have oceans
and continents or, ather. why we have an irregular
earth's surface, with broad hollows and wide uplands.
This problem has confronted the scientists for genera
tions.

Coyote doesn't want to have anything
to do with me. So I'll go off where
she'll never see nor hear from me-.
That's what I'll do, and I'll start right
now"
He got to his feet and started off
along one of the old cow paths in the
Old Pasture. This time he wasn't
looking for footprints or for glimpse
of Miss Coyote. The fact is, he was
trying not to think of Miss Coyote
at all. He trotted along in very
determined way. Presently he came
to where the little path turned around
great rock. Old Man Coyote
trotted around the rock and then he
suddenly stood as still as if carved
from stone. Not even hair on him
moved. He held his breath. There.
sitting in the path just ahead of him
and back to him, was Miss Coyote
herself
Old Man Coyote didn't know what
to do. He was afraid to move. Yes,
sir. he was afraid to move. He was
afraid that the instant he moved she
would see him, or hear him, and dis
appear, as she had disappeared sc
many times So he stood there un
moving. He was sure that she
didn't know that he was there, for
she was sitting in a most unconcerned
manner exactly as if she thought her
self all alone. Poor Old Man Coyote
He didn't know what he ought to dc
and he was so afraid of doing the
wrong thing. And just then some
thing very wonderful happened. Miss
Coyote turned her head, looked him
full in the face and grinned. At last
she wasn't going to run from him
