F. Ladd. See-} tion 78 of the state constitution reads: | “When any office shall from any cause become vacant, and no mode is provided by the constitution or law for fill- ing such vacancy, the governor shall have power to fill such vacancy by appointment.” In the Albama case where the senate refused to seat an appointee of the governor, there was extensive debate over whether by any stretch of imagination a United States sen-| ator could be regarded as a state officer. Eminent lawyers! disagreed and the senate failed to seat only by a narrow and somewhat political margin. It was never questioned that the senate had absolute power in the Alabama case to seat if its members desired. There is no legal decision touching the matter. The situa- tion is wholly political, and the present senate might reverse the action taken at a previous session in the Alabama} case provided the appointee were persona grata to the Re-| publican majority. Certainly the state constitution in Section 78 is plain Written and adopted at a time when United States senators were selected by the legislature, it was plainly the intent of | the ‘people to vest the appointive power in the governor to meet just such emergencies as that occasioned by the death’ of Senator Ladd. When John Burke was criticized in 1910 for appointing | a successor to M. N. Johnson in the person of W. E. Purcell, the point was raised that a United States senator was really a state officer. Purcell was a state ;senator when appointed and it was urged by the political opponents of Burke that he violated h oath, as the state constitution provided that a state official could not resign to accept another position during the period! for which he was elected. Gov. Burke in a long communi- | cation published in the press defended his position and Pur- cell was seated without difficulty. The Seventeenth amend- ment to the federal constitution at that time had not been passed, so there Was no confusion over the governor’s power to appoint a successor. Attorneys who have given the matter deep study state that there is no legal power in the state that can force Gov Sorlie to call a special election or prevent him from appoint-j ing a successor to the late Senator Ladd if he sees fit. It is an issue over which Gov. Sorlie and the United States sen-| " ate have absolute control. Should anyone take legal steps, in the opinion of prominent attorneys, the action would fail, as the issue comes within those termed “political,” which are usually settled as the supreme body desires without much; attention to the legal status. In this case the supreme body | seems to be the United States senate and political align- ments the exigencies to cope with. THE ART OF READING Profit and pleasure can be derived to no greater degree | than by reading. { Closely allied to the journeys in the realm of books is the gaining of knowledge at first hand through travel. But travel is something for which the average individual has little time and, it may be said, money. So of the two, reading remains as a means of losing one’s self in the far away and long ago. The boon of a bachelor is a well-filled pipe and a good book under the soft glow of an incandescent light. Or at least he has been pictured so many times. But in this age of radio, jazz and movies it is to be feared that the art ot reading is losing its hold not only on.bachelors but on every one else. With the modern cry of speed has come the desire for sensation. Gone is the day of the tranquil enjoyment of the great works of the masters. Instead we have the tale of the pioneer west, the yarn of the Arabian desert and the story of the business world, all popularized through periodi- cals which have achieved an immense circulation. Discrimination in reading is a lost art. We no longer fine-comb our reading material, but absorb that which the publishers find most profitable to publish, evanscent stuff at best. A DRY NATION : Protests against the expense of maintaining a “dry navy” to check the flow of liquor into the country are occasionally heard. To be sure, it’s expensive. But stop and think a minute. So long as the prohibition law is on the statute books it ought to be enforced, to the hilt. If it’s one of our laws, let’s see to it that it is made as effective as is humanly possible. If you’re not in favor of prohibition, that’s something else again. There are perfectly feasible ways to work for its repeal. f Pout if it’s the law, let’s make it work. EAWS “There ought to be a. law about it.” How often haven’t you heard someone say that, when discussing some practice or other especially objectionable him? . Probably that’s the chief trouble with us today.

R “thinking what I would do if I were a cow.” Scientists have been trying the same tactics on the cotton boll wee- vil. They found that weevil larvae would leave the most tempting foods |and make in the direction of cotton buds, at distances too great for any sense but smell. 5 The scientists could smell nothing themselves, but they distilled the buds, to concentrate their odorifer- ous essence. They found a mixture of several, separated these and tried each on sample weevils. The most attractive turned out to be one that can be produced cheaply, from su- gar-beet waste. So now, having found out what a weevil likes, they are going to use it as bait, to entice him into trups or poison Science, once more, is simply com- mon sense, applied with systematic exactness.

The newer state universities, being supported by the taxes of the very people whose sons and daughters are clamoring for admission, haye felt obligated to accept all qualified comers, and to call on these tax- payers for the necessary funds. The result is that the older insti- tutions have been compelled to se- lect, on other grounds, even among the educationally qualified. Their diplomas will, therefore, be taken as certifying to this selection, while the diplomas of the public uni- versities will certify only to educa- tion. Quite as many exceptional persons will doubtless graduate from the one as the other, and the grounds of the best qualified for anything else. But the burden of proof will at- tach to the holder of the more demo- cratic diploma, while a certain pre- sumtion will go with the diploma of the institution of limited attendance.

ANCIENT INDIAN GRAVEYARD DISCOVERED IN CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara, Cal., June 29.—() —An ancient Indian graveyard, be- lieved to antedate the California mis- sion period, was discovered recently near Purissima Mission in the Santa ¥nez Valley near here, by Don Mead- ows and Ray Gruwell, Orange, Cal., research workers. A number of prehistoric specimens, including sev- eral Indian skeletons, skulls, beads, and arrowheads were obtaine The burial plot, once the “happy hunting grounds” of the bronzed war- rior of the west, was situated in the center of what was a large bean patch, which, up to the time of the discovery, completely obliterated all trace.of the important find According to Meadows, they dug through three different layers of graves, each from three to four feet in depth. It is possible that there are other graves below, he suid. The braves were buried in a sitting posture with the knees crooked be- neath the chin.
