Senator means . of which he ks opposing third dency is unique frankly aimed at tempt to conceal passed, it ‘term candidacies. for the Presidency Constitution and they mere resolution. But Jution would inevitably bar as far Mr. Coolidge The reason for the Wisconsin Senator’s action | in pressing the matter at this time is, appar- ently, found in the situation that has developed in certain Eastern States, notably New York and | Massachusetts. Somewhat uneasy over (the pro- gress of the Hoover which has made defin- ite h(*.n]\\n in the few Charles D. Hilles, York leader, and some of the State organization leaders, and William M. Butier, Republican National Committee Chairman, of Massachusetts, have seemingly come to the con- clusion it endangers their plans for having a big| bloc of Eastern delegates sent to -the Kansas City convention uninstructed and unpledged to any candidate. With such a bloc, headed by the big delegations from New York, Massachusetts | and Pennsylvania, Bastern politicians would be in position to demand important concessions from the convention. As they apparently view the| present situation, the only way in which the Hoover movement can be slowed down is through a revival of the Coolidge draft proposal. l'nquus»J LaFollette's res to put the record term candid the in the annals of Congress President Coolidge its purport i would constitute Qualification lution Senate by g for s and no at Even if | to third | | made legal bar for no are clearly set up in thel be changed I ge of the r to be a political | coneerned. cannot the pass prove by a 80 a as is hoom, past weeks, w time. Very probably its sponsors do’net themselves expect that Mr, Coolidge will consent to be drafted. His “I do not choose to run’ statement last summer and its amplification at Washington in December is definite notice, and so charac- terized by Mr. Coolidge, to the National Com- mittee and other Republican leaders that the President will not consent to be''a candidate. But that does not constitute a bar against a movement to draft him if the would-be drafters can make their program stick. If it can be made specific enough to block the committal of Fuet delegates to any particular candidate, ree::d of whether the President chooses to recog the plan will have served its purpese. Mr. LaFollette’s resolution has the novelty, at It seems.to be unnecessary and, if adopted by the Senate, of no particular value. Third term candidacies are so unpopular as to be altogether unlikely If third term can- didates do appear, the tl('l torate is in position to deal with them at the polls far more effective- ly than any pronouncement made by the Senate can possibly hope to do. Ty SUFFRAGE. Japan's new suffrage law, under which 7 000,000 men were given the privilege of voting, will operate for the first time February 20, when a _general parliamentary election will be held following the dissolution of the Diet, Under the suffrage law, self-supporting mewg of 25 years of age of more are permitted to vote. Politicians of all parties are uncertain what the new voters will do in the election—thre first in which the male section of the public as a whole will have a vote, virtue of least JAPAN AND THE WHY OF BIOGRAPHY. John 8. Sumner, of the New York Society ! for the Suppression of. Viee, in a recent address sharply critic “iconoclastie biographies” of famous Americans which tended to dispute some of the traditional and accepted protraits taught for many generations. He argued that it was good for the school children of the country to be inculcated with the idea that George Wash- ington and other founders of the country were made out of clay superior to that of ordiaary men. If we differ from that conception of the mission of biography, it is because we feel that ' biography has a more intimate connection with the record of the ages than has conventional history. -Incidents that may hot be considered essential in the writing of the latter certainly have a place in the former. It may make no difference In h\o history of ~ the United States that George Washington was . a still owner, but certainly no diographer who took his task seriously would omit that fact. | That his temper was of the hair-trigger variety * and rather more than less violent 0n provocation, sed l«mluly forlorn cause, but most assurelly m biography which failed to take it into |for voting to revise the candidates | * | in has | quite It the appears that preferential primary vote unopposed in all of Ohio’s districts is doomed to disappointment.

(New looks York Times.) if the Senate fixed a day tariff when it knew that would be out of the country. have borne the vote of 54 to immediate downward revision if near by when this gacreligious step was taken. For to him, to thie straiter sect of the high protectionists, the tariff has been the ve Ark of the Covenant, for lo! these many To ak of it with anything but awe mag wource of all our national bless- eemed impossible in the pure air of Republicanism Yet no fewer than twelve Re- publican Senators voted kedly not only that the far is oppressive the farmers, but that it filled with rates which ought at once to be cnt The tariff can never be the same thing again. Like the Equator, which Jeffrey was once heard to respectfully,” it has lost caste irrecove one her t up in a Republican con- vention and in the old unthinking way without danger of provoking a laugh. The posi- tive vote by the Senate brings the question down out of sacred mysteries into the realm of business and common sense. No one supposes that the Senate wlill follow up its audacious action by introducing a bill or bills to correct tariff abuses. That must be pri- marily the function of the House of Represen- tatives. And it shows no inclination to enter upon a tariff digcussion. But the main thing that the fatal words have been spoken No less than fifty-four Senators haver struck at the very pillars of the Raepublican temple. No ono of them fell dead in the act. The gain is not so much any enactment of tariff relief now in sight, for none is in sight, but in the relief of the human mind from a portion at least of the superstitions which have for so long been con- -nected~with. the protective tariff. . People may now say what they think about it without being accused of blasphemy.

The frightful toll of blindness resulting from industrial accidents gives pause for sober thought According to the announcement of the National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness, in- dustry is responsible for 15 per cent. of the blind population of the United States today ““This despite the fact that the experience of muany plants proves that most industrial eye acci- report se ratifying p 12 more appalling because sress made against blind- ness re ng from infant diseases. In the twen- ty year's work of the national committee, blind- ness from this source has been reduced by one- half. ~When one reflects upon' the enormous number of babies who are either born blind or become so shortly after birth, as in the case of that superb woman Helen Keller, a realization of what this work means to mankind dawns on the mind. That it Khuuh\‘lv offset and ren- dered in large degree nugatory by carelessness in handling industrial appliances seems tragic indeed; that it should be spoiled by improper or defective machinery seems too horrible to think about. Yet it must be thought about. The blind population of the United States, according to the latest census, is 52,567. Of this number, 15 per cent., or 7,885, owe their affliction to industry. ul ’l‘lmt Lost Art. (Kansas City Post.) Those who complain that we have lost the art of conversation are sadly mistaken if they think people can't talk intelligently., The trouble is that there are no listeners now as there were in the old days. It is the art of listening we have lost, and it undoubtedly is due’ to the fact that in this day everybody takes newspapers and magazines and each citlzen is so well informed that he wishes to do a great deal of thinking. Even when others in the company- -have the floor he is not listening, but is turning over in his mind the things he will say when it is his turn to talk. Good listeners are so rare today that when you meet one and notice that he is paying strict attention you are embarrfassed. The nov- elty of being listened to causes you to wonder whether you are saying anything worth while.
