MOTORCYCLE, COPS

A Wag once remarked that tEo only persons seen riding motor cycles nowadays arc the motorcycle cops-tllat3 all the other motorcyclc customers are operating HordS. This. obviously. is little exaggerated, for there are still some citizens lcr. who appear 10 be in such hurry that nothing hut a motorcycle will gat them there and back on time.
 Motorcycle cops are becoming more necessary every year. Two of the operators of the two-W hcrled speed wagons on the New Britain force, however, have been switched 10 regular patrol duty for the winter; which naturally leads 10 the conclu- sion that spordcrs are lees numerous in winter. Or else, that the spccdcrs will have less to fear.
 Nothing throws the fear ot au- thority into fool drivers so effective ly as inc knowledge that there are motorcycle cops scooting around. Many citz"us seem 10 lean to the opinion that more are necessary.

KANSAS CITY AS HOST TO C. o, r, CD\CLANE

To the shores of the Missouri and the kaw they will go. the delegates who will decide in June as to who will be the Republican candidate for the next presidential campaign Geographically central, the city is some 800 miles further west than the center of population. Most delegates, therefore, will be forced to do long distance railroad travelling to get there. although in this respect they will be much more fortunate than had the decision been to accept the proffer of san Francisco as the con- vention city.
 Kansas City has been up-and com ing. IL really is a considerably larger city than the census would inlici.r. as across the river lies Kansas City, Kansas itself q city of no mean di- mcnsions. Its metropolitan area con- stitutos a population of close to ha.t million-which in the far west means considerable. Its F trunk line railroads will be well able to yield transportation 10 the conven- ton throngs: its highly intelligent citizenry will struggle manfully to tender fitting welcome. Hotel rates, however and as usual will not remain as low os they are now. The new auditorium will he proudly ad- yortised 10 the country and not since 1900, when Bryan Was nominated at a Kansas City conontion, will the eJty be as thoroughly excited.
 Now that Coolidge has definitely ', fused 10 ruu--or so it appears 10 most 9r those who have made a con- -rt.uious effort to interpret his Words-i, is certain that the Kansas City convention will become one Of much historical importance in the annals Of Republicans. For the first time in many trtle to the pres idential plate tl. grand old party convention seems destined to hr a hotly contested at,ur Tn" com- patius Democrats may discover thai they have no monopoly Of internal warfare.

"\D MAN TOO BIG TO DODGE PRESIDENCY"

T. is said no man is too big 10 dodge the presidency of the United States. Many a man, however, has lodged the opportunity to become q candidate for the third time In our day President Coolidge. who in the opinion of q large number of Ecpub- liCans is the logical candidate for another term, has twice given it as his wish that he be not considered for the nomination. One cannot help concluding that the President thus exhibits q quality of mind that is far removed from the ambitions of most men. How many of the able go-gett"rs everyone knows, placed in q similar position, would consist cntly forcgo the opportunity for an other opportunity to become the first gentleman of the land? Not many.
 The Coolidge declination of a third term does not make him d great president, .>ut il places him alongside of some great names who made an exit to private life after having served two terms: Washing ton, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe. Jackson, Grant, Cleveland, Roose- yelt. Wilson.
 1 "A president of the United ] States" Roosevelt said in 1912. "can. ! if he knows how to use the ma chinery at his disposal, renominatc 1 himself even though a majority of his party is against him."
 Then. when he was elected 10 succeed himself, he made a state ment which included the following: The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will l be a candidate for or accept another nomination"
 But this declaration did not hold good for Roosevelt after he had been out of the White House while his successor, Taft, held sway thcrc He then said he had not referred 10 third term if the third -tcrmer did not succeed himself.
 Be that as it may, the effort of President Coolidge to abide by time honored traditions will commend it. self as time passes. Some rabd fol- lowers may be greatly irritatcd over his determination to eliminate him. self, but history no doubt will write 1t down that he most effectively helped to maintain q great American tradition.

MIE.tN AND BINGHAM VOTE AS EXPECTED

The state or Connecticut, through ifs two distinguished senators, is again or record upon the inalienabIc rights Of states to send anyone 10 the Senate they care 10 elect. Scna- tore Mclean and Bingham were among the = hardy band of Re publicans who voted 10 seat Frank L.. Smith ot Illinois. As usual how ever. they were on the losing side.
 The vote Of 50 10 32 clearly indi- catcs there has been no marked change in the attitude Of the Sen ate on this supposedly vital issue since the vote on Ware was regis tered.
 Senator Borah seems to have argued in a rather peculiar manner when he poured the vials of his wrath forth in contemplating inc plan 10 shut the door in Mr. smiths face without q hearing" Inasmuch as the Senate campaign funds com mittce had already conducted q pro trlctol hearing, which brought forth volnninous evidence, it is difficult to estimate what could be gained by another hearing, If the sundry senators arc not acquainted with the evidence as the committee produced it they are astonishingly delinquent in their duties. In addi- ton, Senator Eorah must have 1 known that few Of the senators will ever change their viewpoint about the matter regardless O. hearings, Permitting smith to address the Senate IS a courtesy combined with a gesture.
 ] The Smith-Narc controversy has become political, with q camounage Of states rights thrown in 10 make the politics seem an heroic effort to safeguard the states. Consider, for proof, the lineup of those on both sides of the fence. Virtually all the Republicans who voted for smith were the indrpendent-progrcssive persuasion; all the others favored denying him a seat.
 Ii Smith and Ware were Demo- crats there are a multitude of ob- serving and rather cynical citizens : who would be willing to wager new Ford against | monkey wrench that both Messrs. Bingham and Mclean would vote against seating them and probably do so on the score that ! the Senate is the only fit judge of the qualifications of it's members, and that 1t has q perfect right 10 exercise the functions granted by the l Constitution.
