Return To Duty

There have been troubled times before now, and troubled individuals, In one such period Robert Louis Stevenson writing from his home in Samoa to friend in Eng
 land, said: The world must return some day to the word duty and be Gone with the word reward. There are no rewards, and plenty of duties. And the sooner man sees that and acts upon it like a gentleman or fine old barbarian, the better for him. self
 A return to duty would be wholesome step for any public servants who have neg lected it for power and personal profit. It would be wholesome for any leaders in busi- ness. industrial or profession life who have come to regard duty as an old-fashioned notion, and material success by whatever means as the highest ambition. It would be wholesome right on down the line for every one, including Mir Average Citizen who shirks his civic duty, leaving government to the politicians. And there are rewards, though not perhaps the ones we have been accustomed to expecting There are the re- wards of self-respect, the repsect of ones fellow-men and satisfaction in honest achievement for the public good,

The famous Litchfeld Law School of Judge Tapping Reeve, the first to be estab- lished in America will be commemorated in law school for women just established in Morristown, N. J. The school is to be known as the Litchfeld School of Law. Its founder, Richard D. Currier, says. The first law school in America was opened at Litchfeld, Conn, in l784. As the first residential law school in the world, exclus- lively for women, it is significant that the new school should take the name of Amer ieas original law school, which was exclu- sively for men,"

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1883
\ Country Without a President

No change in our national administration has ever been accomplished of recent years without a hundred and one stories and rumors dealing with the machinery whereby we elevate a common ordinary citizen to the dignity of being chief executive of the na- tion. Our antiquated electoral college has enabled us to keep alive a series of rumors to the effect that the man elected in Novem- Der isn't actually president until this mythi-- cal group of electors has termed him such. Succession in the event of the death of president who has not been inaugurated can also produce endless speculation and argu- ments galore.
 Now with Roosevelts inauguration hard at hand we dwell with some Machiavelan delight on the announcement that for twelve hours the nation will be without president. They are the twelve hours that elapse from midnight, March }, until midday. March 4, when the new president is customarily sworn into office by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. As proof of the above letter now in the archives of the State Department at Washington is quoted in part or in full when ever 1t IS necessary to convince ,seeptic of the validity of the above
 The letter in question was written by Chief Justice John Marshall when he held that office. He conveyed the information that the country was without president for twelve hours to John Quincy Adams on February 20, 182l Adams at the time was Secretary of State. It was not an off e eial finding on the matter, but one that had been reached by the chief justice after con- sultation with other justices of the court and was in answer to an inquiry of Adams. Of course it's true today just as 1t was when Chief Justice Marshall wrote to Adams, but it is not an occasion for alarm. In recent years there is no possibility of the oath of office being delayed unless through an at- tempt at assassination.
 Where a president dies in office there often is possibility of the exercise of the presidential office being de- layed with serious consequences. If this nation was on the verge of being precipitat- ed in a war and the president died untimely it would be absolutely necessary for his successor to be sworn in immediately with out the formality of propriety of waiting some hours. While war was threatening us in 1923 when Warren G. Harding died, it was essential that Vce-President Coolidge be sworn in immediately. The oath of office was administered to him carly on the morning of August at his fathers home in Plymouth, Vermont. where he was Va eationing. The same thing happened after the death of Mckinley. Roosevelt was far up in the Adirondack mountains of New York when notified of MoKinley's death from the assassin's bullet. Those were ac- casions calling for haste in taking the oath of office. But where there is a peaceful transition, such as we will witness Saturday. the twelve hour interval in which the coun- try is presidentless is not reason for pro- posing constitutional amendment to change the system.

The business world and the investors are greatly disturbed right now over the flood of cur rent proposals for tampering with the mone- tary system, whether by mere imitation of bank credit or government notes or by schemes for silver coinage or debasement of the gold standard or fiat money of various sorts some most weird.

FOUR MAJOR CODES
SIGNED ON FRIDAY

Price control was the second
serious problem raised. The code
presented by the majority OF the
operators would require all opera
tors to file their price lists with
the code authority. The authority
would be empowered to compel
firms to raise their prices If the
original quotations result in "un-
fair competition"
Two major operators, the Phila-
delphia and Reading and the Le-
high Valley Coal companies, as
we'll as Representatives of the
NRA advisory board, vigorously
opposed price regulation.
The consumers board proposed
section which simply would for
bid sales at less than cost of pro-
duction.
At the close of the hearing,
Deputy Administrator W. H. Da-
Wis, who presided announced that
next Friday he would begin con-
ferences with operators and labor
representatives looking forward
to re-drafting of the code.

Jenny Dolly's Big
Collection of Gems
Sold AT Auction

PARIS, Nov. Is. (UP)-Jenny
Dolly's remarkable collection of
jewels, said once to have been
worth upwards of $1,000, 1000,
were sold at auction yesterday
for less than quarter of that
amount.
The diamonds, pearls, emeraiGs
and oth gorgeous stones
brought the former revue star Il
total of 3,11S,925 francs. or ap~
proximately $20S.96S at the cur
rent rate of exchange.
The highest price paid for a
single gem was 162, 500, francs,
or about $10,S8S. which an un-
named bidder gave for a 81
carat diamond.
A throng of persons, including
many noted international figures
in society and the iewelry world,
packed the famous Durout auc-
ton rooms where the song-and-
dance stars collection awaited
sale. Outside, a mob Of curious
sought to crowd into the room
and watch the spirited auction.
The gems, carefully displayed,
included a precious 2,975-grain
pearl necklace, a triple collar of
1913 matched pearls. diamond
necklace, a 135-grain black pearl
of unusual luster, the 51-carat
diamond valued at one time at
25O,000--more than the whole
collection brought under the
hammer-and glowing 4l-carat
emerald.
The bidders were lively only
at time, and the efforts of the
auctioneers failed to bring the
prices expected, rs evidenced by
the top price Of $10,S88 for the
huge diamond.
Jenny Dolly remained in a eli
mic, where she is recovering from
injuries suffered some months
ago in an automobile crash.
Whether the sale was due to her
need of cash remained conjectu-
raj. A mail said the actress de
sired to dispose of the jewels
because they mo longer have any
appeal to her."

MONEY REFORM
LEADERS meet
Silver Sterilization Fore
cast; Policy Assailants
Heavily Scored
ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is (UP)
"A group of monetary reform
leaders Of the nation meeting
here yesterday urged President
Roosevelt to expand his policy to
include wider use of silver in the
metallic base of the currency
and to stabilize the dollar when
commodities, wages and employ
ment reached the 1926 level.
A special committee composed
of Senators Thomas, Okla, Har-
rison, Miss. and Smith, S. c.,
all Democrats, was named to
make recommendations on the in
creased use of silver.
After approving President
Roosevelt's policy of devaluating
the dollar through increasing the
price of gold, the conference
passed resolution accusing
"certain we'll known groups" at
home and abroad of undermining
governments credit through their
"false and wilful" attacks upon
this policy. The president was
asked to have these attacks in
vestigated Immediately to ascer-
tain whether attractions of law
were involved.
This resolution, the United
Press learned, led to a stormy
debate. There were some in the
conference. it was said, who felt
the denunciation was worded too
sharply and urged revision.
At one stage, Smith left the
meeting temporarily returned to
his office across the hall and
slammed the door after shouting
out:
They're burning up tn e
world"
After the conference, the con-
ferees began issuing personal
statements. James H. Rand, Jr.,
of the committee for the nation,
proposed that profits from the
revaluation of gold under the
present policy be used as back
ing the new currency which
would be used in paying off SO
cents on every dollar in closed
banks before Christmas.
Rand said $2.500,000,000 of
SIS, 000,00O,0O0 still frozen in
closed banks thus would be
thrown into the credit stream of
the nation.
Thomas said he favored his re-
Gently announced plan whereby
the president would initiate a
silver purchasing policy similar
to his gold policy until the white
metal reached q price of rs cents
an OUNCE. This silver would be
used as the base for the issuance
of additional silver certificates
and each dollar of new silver
certificates would be backed by
deposit in the treasury reserve
consisting of one ounce of silver
and 25 cents in gold.

committee Senator Pittman, Dem
