MORRIS RESOLUTION While constitutional changes should be made carefully _and not in the heat of a campaign or in the rush of popular “opinion one situation calls for immediate attention of Con- gress. It will be thirteen months before the Sixty-ninth Congress is called into session unless President Coolidge summons an extra session. That would not be a disaster per se if it were not for the fact that under the constitution a “lame duck” Congress is in action and can hardly function according to the mandates laid down at the recent election. The time elapsing between the! inaugural of a newly elected president and the convening of a new Congress is a =relic of the days of horseback, stage coaches and other pic- turesque institutions of colonial days. It will be recalled that rivers had to be forded, before Washington could be reached in the days of Jefferson. Legislatures had to convene to name senators and often Congress was without a quorum until the representatives of the people could get on the job. | All is changed now. Not long ago a Secretary of the Navy to gain a few hours took a navy airplane so as to be on time for a White House conference. There is no need to delay the transfer from the old to the new government in these days of rapid communication. There should be no constitutional barrier to the immediate assumption of office, say in the following January, of the President-elect and the new congress. The Norris resolution provides this very thing and puts the new regime in the saddle the January following the gen- eral elections and the constitutional amendment also pre- cludes confusion if none of the presidential candidates se- cure enough electoral votes. Such a reform should be provided at the present session.

INDIANS Duke of Alba, direct descendant of Christopher Colum- bus, says the great explorer recorded: “The Indians are a gentile people, without knowing what evil is, without killing, without stealing.” Our Amercian pioneers left quite a different story.

By Albert Apple | English soccer football is crowding out the bullfight as ‘the favorite sport of Spain. So reports Professor J. Ortega of University of Wisconsin after a-long tour over there. ' He says: “The Spanish people are building large. stad- jiums holding 35,000 spectators. They run their games on i Sunday afternoon in competition with the bullfights, and the ‘football takes the people. The kids who used to play at ‘bullfighting now are playing football in the streets, like | American boys.” !

This is illustrated quite as much by the change ‘iw their national sport, as in political upheavals. What does it all mean—this shifting to football instead of ibullfights? Something big in history, bank on that. Civili- zations are swayed by changes in sports, diet, customs and | fashions. | eee | Spain has been frequently condemned for its bullfights. ; The real trouble has been in the government’s permitting ithese brutal exhibitions. The popularity of bullfights does | not necessarily mean that the average Spaniard has the bull- fight temperament. We have observed that bullfights are quite popular, in | movies and fiction, with our own people. And if bullfights | were permitted in America they’ed “play to packed houses.” | We have a very close imitation—the’ prizefight. | New York, Dec. 6.—It is generatly| the cafeteria of the Young Women’s believed that Broadway stars who} Christiam Association of Allentown, make big money spend it in an “easy | Pa., week-ended at the Pennsylvania. come, easy go” manner.
