10th Amendment, Effective Tomorrow,
Cuts Salaries, but Not for Economy

legislation. made It possible for jokers
to be inserted in bills because of the
inadequate time for study and con-
sideration. The need for haste now
Is gone.
Senator Norris observed that people
were asking why the trainers of the
amendment provided that the terms
Of members of Congress shall begin on
the third day Of January and the
terms Of the President and Vice Presi-
dent on the twentieth day of January.
This was necessary he said, so that the
new Congress could assemble and can
vass the vote for President and Vice
President before those officials took
ofnce. The Constitution requires such
q canvass. so that 1t was considered
necessary to give time for the Congress
to organize prior to the time the execu-
tive officers were inaugurated.
Two other sections of the twentieth
amendment relate to the method Of
selecting the President and Vice Presi-
dent should they not qualify or should
the President-elect die before taking
office. The old term of the Constitu-
ton provided no means of procedure
in the event Of the death Of the Presi-
dent-elect
Section three provides that If the
President-elect dies, then the Vice
President shall become President. Or
II President is not chosen before the
time fixed for the beginning of his
term. or if the President t-elect should
fail to qualify. the Vice President then
Is to act as President until President
is qualified. Besides, Congress can pro-
vide by law for the method of procedure
If neither the President nor Vice Presi-
dent can qualify to serve as President
Section four says that Congress may
by law provide for the case of the
death Of any Of the persons from whom
the House of Representatives may
chose a President, whenever teh right
Of choice shall devolve upon them, and
for the case of the death of any of the
persons from whom the Senate may
choose President, whenever the right
Of choice shall devolve upon them, and
for the case Of the death of any of the
persons from whom the Senate may
choose q Vice President whenever the
right Of choice shall devolve upon them
This section makes more clear the
present constitutional provision or the
election Of a President by the House
Of Representatives. which in the past
has been confined to the election Of
one of the three highest on the list
voted for in the Electoral College. If
one of these three should die, the
political party that he represented
could not be able to share in the elec-
ton.

RENEWED CONFIDENCE
BY THE RIGHT REV. IAMES E. FREEMAN DID. LID. DEG.
Bishop Of Huntington.

Cast not away your confidence,
which hath great recompense OF re-
ward"
The men and women whom we meet
daily VINO are conscious or apprehenstve
Of imminent defeat are those who have
lost their confidence. Confidence Is the
1t Is the groundwork Of our assurance
and stability. Where an individual or
y people suffer an impairment Of con-
tldence they are marking time to fall
ure and defeat. Nothing 50 impairs
the concerns Of commerce, Of society,
or of the state itself. as the loss Of
this cardinal quality. Panics issue
from it. Revolutions find their genesis
in 1t. The mistaken foreigner who
would seek to overthrow our institutions
does SO because he does not under
stand them or believe in them: there
fore he would destroy them. Our whole
credit system, that is indispensable to
the life Of trade. Is born out OF con-
fidence between men and institutions.
The continuing crisis, notably abroad.
Is due largely to the failure Of 1ndi-
viduals and nations to believe In the
integrity Of one another. There will
be no concord and no guarantee OF
peace and Q return Of normal economic
conditions until confidence once again
restores the harmony and fellowship Of
the peoples of the world. Our own
country Is by no means immune to the
tendency to regard with suspicion
groups and parties within our own bor-
ders. Legislation itself, tmperatively
demanded to meet changed and chang
ing conditions, is retarded and impeded
by the narrowing and distracting in
f1uences that arise out Of impaired con-
fidence and party suspicious. For the
time being this seems to be the uni
versal malady. and we shall not again
assume right relations one with another,
one nation with another, one institution
with another. until we have recovered
our poise and restored our lost as
surance.
The practical application Of all this
to individual life is clearly evidens.
When a man says that he has 'lost his
grip" he simply implies that his con-
fidence has been shattered and de-
stroyed.

elders. Against such q background OF
inherited tradition the modern child
finds himself, and he would be untrue
to his ancestral past II he were totally
neglectful of the instruments OF -of1ense
and defense upon which his progeni-
tors relied. Those who have made
special studies Of the psychology OF
children have noted again and again
how conspicuous in the character OF
immature intelligence is the thought
which centers about the sword, spear,
dagger, rife and pistol. Practically
every youngster goes through the stage
of imagining himself warrior.
But firearms are dangerous, espe-
cially in the city. There can be no
question about that. The number of
accidents reported from day to day Is
legion, and it Is o normal reaction to
deplore the circumstance. In most
States and in the District Of Colum-
bia there Is law Of one kind or
another designed to control the situa-
ton. The difficulty lies in the fact
that so long as adults have firearms in
their homes children will find and at
tempt to use them. The carelessness
of parents in leaving lethal weapons
unguarded therefore Is responsible for
many of the tragedies. Allowing chill
dren to use firearms or even air rifles
indiscriminately is responsible for otll-
ers. Obviously, boys and girls should
be protected from that kind Of tempta-
ton. No child should be permitted to
handle firearms without superintend-
ence.
Perhaps a partial solution Of the
problem might be accomplished by edu-
cation along the line Of the obliga-
ton involved. Let the child understand
that the proper use Of gun Is a
science and requires skilled teaching,
and make 1t point of honor that only
those who can be trusted shall be al
lowed access to weapon, and then
only under proper conditions which
assure the safety Of others. Such
guidanc, might serve to eliminate a
portion ri the present peril. It would
be q middle course between prohibition
! on the one hand and ungoverned IL
cense on the other, and it has the
grace Of including reward Of merit.
Each parent, certainly, will have to
be ned by his own Judgment and ex-
perience. As matters stand 1t would
appear that wherever youngster runs
wild, spraying the whole neishborhood
with random bullets, or injuring him.
self. some adult Is at least in some
| degree to blame. Children are free

Foreign Minister DR.. Carlos eaave-
dra Lamas Of Argentina, chief promo
ter of the pact, ranks as an apostle Of
the theory that Argentina is entitled to
. certain hegemony in South American
affairs. It was under his militant aus
pioes that Argentina recently rejoined
the League Of Nations with o reserva-
ton to the clause In the Covenant
that recognizes the Monroe Doctrine
a. q regional" understanding. Mexico
joined the League in 1881 with . SINH
lar reservation. At the signature Of the
Latin American anti-war Fact Brazil
ian Foreign Minister Franco explained
that Brazil had withdrawn from the
League Of Nations not as an act Of self
interest. but as an assertion of the spe-
cial rights of the South American con-
tinent.
Coincident with the conclusion OF the
six-power anti-war pact, Argentina and
Brazil signed q series of 10 treaties
designed to cement the relations Of
South Americas two most important
republics. Peru, Colombia and Ecuador
will probably join the anti-war treaty
after settlement Of their dispute over
Leticia. Paraguay's adhesion Is ex-
pected to persuade Bolivia to come In
and to lead to an amicable settlement
Of their controversy for possession Of
the Gran Chaco.
Although there are unmistakable
hints In these international activities

die the Latin American canoe without
any cooperation from the United
States, "the colossus Of the north" views

The streamline which is appearing In
50 many types Of automobiles, railroad
trains and other agencies Of ranspor-
tation was not adopted for its beauty
but for coldly scientific reasons. For
centuries men have been studying
means Of overcoming the resistance Of
the air and finally have discovered that
they must reverse all previous concep-
tions to achieve their goal.
It has been natural to assume that
point will penetrate whatever 1t Is
aimed at more readily than q blunt
nose. No one would attempt to drive
a fist into an oak plank. He takes
some sharp instrument in that fist to
tablished that the sofest element any
one has ever tried to penetrate acts in
q precisely reverse manner. To pene-
trate the air, the blunt instrument Is
more effective than the point.
1t has been established that II one
Of those wicked-looking roadsters, long
and low and lean with q sharply
pointed radiator, the sort Of racing car
which looks like a spear, were to be
driven backward 1t would make better
time. BY driving the blunt end into
the air less resistance would be en-
countered than by passing through 1t
with the point foremost.
This idea seems to do violence to
every notion. The fact Is that when
q sharp point pushes the air aside that
same air rushes in behind the object,
be 1t vehicle or bullet, and creates
a suction behind. 1t is true that the
point does penetrate, but that very ac-
of air which drags at the rear of the
moving object with giants hands. II
the object Is designed so that the cur
rent Of air slides smoothly OF q point
at the rear. the suction Is defeated and
the moving object goes forward with
a minimum Of resistance.
DR.. H. L. Dryden, chief Of the aero
dynamic section Of the Bureau of
Standards, and DR.. r. H. Heald, asso-
ciate engineer, have conducted ex-
haustive experiments and discovered
that the streamlined automobile en-
counters just half the wind resistance
which the usual conventional type
meets.
Principle Not New.
The importance of this to the aver
age individual is that costs of operation
are appreciably lowered. The gasoline
which goes into the fuel tank Is con-
sumed In turning over an engine and
fighting friction. At very slow speeds
the air friction is slight, but as speed
increases, the air friction becomes an
important factor. At brisk road gait
the motorist Is using about as much gas
to fight the imponderable air in front
Of him as he Is to climb the hills. So
by streamlining the design of the car
he can cut his gasoline consumption
down materially.
While probably no one has made
so complete study Of the principles
Of mechanics involved as the Bureau of
Standards and the Institute of Aero
dynamics, the idea is far from new.
Leonardo da Vinci. certainly the great
est mechanic and, some believe, the
greatest man who ever lived, expert

The Library Problem.

The annual report of the board OF
trustees of the Washington Public
Library invariably furnishes food for
thought. Through successive volumes
since 1896 the history of the cultural
development of the people of the
Capital might be traced. The inquirer
would find in the story abundant evil
dence of consistent progress. The
library has served the community as
a spiritual power house, distributing
educational values to the homes Of the
city, growing as the public mind has
grown, advancing as civic spirit has
advanced, becoming ever more useful
and effective as 1t has promoted In
creased interest in its work.
During the period Of the depression,
this years report demonstrates, the de-
mands upon the institutions facilities
have been heavy beyond all anticipation
The number of its patrons has been
doubled, and the quantity Of service
required has been multiplied many
times. But despite conditions OF vast
difficulty, Librarian Bowerman and
his staff have kept their standards
high, meeting every requisition and in
deed welcoming the opportunity to be
helpful. The chronicle OF their labors
is an inspiring document, and they
merit grateful thanks.
Obviously, the Library is charged
with a heavy responsibility in the cir
cumstances. The question is as to how
to discharge the obligation adequately.
For means to build the Georgetown
and Petworth branches, to enlarge
the central building, to replace worn
out books, to purchase new titles
wanted and to maintain personnel the
trustees appeal.
Funds for building the Georgetown
and Petworth branches and enlarging
the Central Library might justly be
given under the public works program
Of the national recovery act, and it Is
for that help that the Library is asking.
The institution Is one Of the instru-
ments by which the new deal for
American humanity Is to be effected,
and 1t Is as such that the trustees rep
resent 1t to the District Commissioners
and to the President. Its claims are
valid and compelling. They deserve
prompt and sympathetic consideration.

A signal and striking expression Of
this came to US in the letter of
young man who contemplated suicide
He said: i am moral and physical
coward, due, In large measure, to tho
fact that have succeeded in no single
venture. Failure is written upon my
dismal countenance" Two things had
brought this misguided youth to the
parting Of the ways; the one, as he ex-
pressed 1t, was the lost confidence of
his friends in him, and the other his
own lost confidence in himself He
had reached the stage Of admitted de-
feat. His morale was gone: he was
afraid to face the future. He was like
the young man Stephen Crane de-
scribes in the Red Badge of Courage"
colors, went to France, entered the
trenches, but when the zero hour came
and the order to advance was heard
he fled from his comrades and was
branded As Q traitor. His physical
forces were not impaired. but his con-.
fdence In himself and his cause was
destroyed.
There Is no work we have to do today
more vitality important than that of
rebuilding in individuals and peoples
that which has suffered the most seri-
Gus impairment during the past four
years, namely, confidence. We can op-
crate under new and more favorable
working conditions, but these will prove
Of little worth unless we can restore
that which constitutes our security as
well as our peace. There Is no finer
example Of confidence recorded than
that which the Master of men disclosed

After Repeal.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
BY November 7 thirty-nine States
three more than the number required for
repeal-will have voted on the eighteenth
amendment. BY December ratifying
conventions will have been held In
SO. Assuming that all have voted AFFIRM
atively, when will repeal become effec-
tive? There is apparently little reason
for doubt on this point. 1t will not be
necessary to await the proclamation by
Secretary Hull that SO States have no
titled him of their decision. The action
of the thirty-sixth State will it itself
effect repeal. Convincing evidence in
support of this view was recently pre-
sented in the New York Law Journal
Among other court decisions cited was
one affirmed by the Supreme Court with
itself:
Its ratification, of which we take ju-
dicial notice, was consummated January
16, 1919. That the Secretary of State
did not proclaim its ratification until
January 29, 1919. is not material, for
the date of its consummation, and not
that on which it is proclaimed, con-
trolls"
So clear is the evidence on this point
that an inquiry concerning 1t Is pre-
sumably not among the nineteen Ques-
tions" which the Department of Justice
is reported to have put to its attorneys
in the matter of repeal. There are other
points on which the department may
need counsel. For the responsibilities of
the Federal Government with respect to
enforcement will not disappear entirely
when national prohibition ends. The
new twenty-first amendment, repeating
the eighteenth, forbids the "importa-
tion into any State" for delivery
or Use therein of Intoxicating liquors" !"
in violation Of State legislation. and the
Democratic party. which pledged repeal,
promised also the effective exercise"
Of Federal power to help dry States Ito
protect themselves against importa-
tion."
How large this responsibility will be
cannot be f0reseen at present. There
are now % States which either by
statutory law or by constitutional
amendment prohibit the use Of intoxi-
eating liquor. But, as the recent report
sponsored by Mr.. Rockefeller suggested,
the trend is unmistakably toward repeal
of State as well as national legislation.
Ten States have followed this course
since January of last year and others
have planned to hold referenda. Thus
within q short time following repeal Of
national prohibition the responsibilities
of the Federal Government in the field
of local enforcement may be consider
ably narrowed.
