ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION TESTING A SENATE RULE. The Senate is about to seek a court ruling on one of its ancient riles of procedure—the one under which it maintains it had the authority to request President Hoover to resubmit to it for further con- sideration the names of three of the Commissioners on the Federal Water Power Board. By resolution it has directed the United States District Attorney of the District of Columbia to determine the right of George Otis Smith to hold a place on the Com- mission after it had reconsidered its original con- firmation and reversed its first action by refusing to confirm. Opinion is sharply divided upon the subject. Senator Walsh, Montana Democrat and high author- ity on constitutional questions of law, maintains the Senate was within its powers in its action on the Power Commission. The Senate has a rule which gives it the right to reconsider its action on Presi- dential nominations within two legislative days after it has acted. The Senate notified the President on December 20 it had approved the nomination of Mr. Smith. It then adjourned for the holidays. When it reconvened it immediately started a movement for reconsideration. The President referred the question to the De- partment of Justice and Attorney General William Mitchell rendered an opinion saying: The position that the Senate did consent that these appointments be immediately made, subject to revocation on reconsid- eration by the Senate, is wholly untenable. That would allow the Senate to encroach upon executive functions by removing an officer within a limited time after his ap- pointment-because of dissatisfaction with his official acts. Any rule that provided for such a course would be void. The consent required by the Constitution is a consent absolute and irrevocable when acted on by the Executive. With such a condition at- tached it would be a case, not of a void condition, but of an invalid appointment. Either these appointments are valid because made with the unqualified consent of the Senate or they are void. There is no middle ground. Had the Senate not notified the President of its confirmative action, but had held the matter over until it had reconvened after the holidays, the question of reconsideration probably would not be debatable. But this was not the procedure. It did not wait for the end of the expiration period and it seems reasonable to conclude, as did the Attorney General, that its notification of consent was a “deliberate expression to the President of the Senate’s unqualified consent to the immediate appointment, and that it amounts to a decision by the Senate, not under a suspension of the| rules but in accordance with them, and to place! reconsideration beyond its power if the President should act and make the appointment before a request of the Senate for a return of the papers reaches him.” It is admitted that the Senate desired to reverse its favorable action, not because of some new light on the appointees which was in existence before it acted but not available, but as the result of official action taken by the Commission after the Senate had consented to the appointments. This, of course, puts an entirely differnt light upon its proposed procedure and its subsequent proceedings smack of removal from office more than failure !than in the dull intervals when they were fingering | " forced, | back—the kind that was picked up -occasionally by RADIO. The United States not only leads in radio ownership but also in the manufacture of this kind | of equipment. This is revealed in figures recently compiled for the United States Department of Com- merce by Lawrence D. Batson, who has just com-| pleted a comprehensive survey of the radio field. There are 24,000,000 sets now in use throughout the entire world and of this number the Unied States has more than 10,500,000. The value of the; world’s radio set equipment is placed at $1,500,000,- 000, and for those of this country at $676,000,000. In broadcasting stations there is a world invest- ment of about $20,000000, and some 50 per cent| of that is in the United States. Except in the United States and Canada, the radio is supported by the fee principle. The lowest fee is in France where the average is 39 cents per set and the highest in Turkey where a $44 charge | is made. The world average is between $3 and $4 per set. The fee tem in most European countries | is proving unsatisfactory and the trend is definitely AMERICA LEADS IN set toward sponsored programs such as are in vogue | in the United States. Many foreign countries, Mr. || Batson reported, however, are prejudiced against| mixing advertising with entertainment and prefer | to pay licenses to avoid it The superiority of American-made radio sets is e s = i W =< WHY Not Only Cheaper but Better RICE & AHLERS CO.

So, probably, with most of the men of history. In the natural course of human events, many of them lived through the seven ages of man; yet our picture of them evokes only one; of these, or at best two or three, and leaves a man | without a youth and without a dotage. | Study Napoleon as we will, for example, and we find whole decades of his life that make no impression on us; somewhere between the Italian campaign and the coronation the image becomes | fixed, disregarding the youth of the miltiary schoo],‘ the invalid of the hundred days and the lifer at| St. Helena alike. Similarly with Wilson. He was| for years in the public eye—as President of Prince- | ton, as Governor of New Jersey, as a retired President in Washington. But for most of us he makes his entrance in white trousers on a spring| day in 1917, recommending to Congress that it de- | clare war on the central powers, and his exit xn the summer of 1920, when he was led home a tob- tering wreck, to take part only imperfectly in the deliberations that were to follow. | There is really a sort of mercy in this, for at| least we remember men when they were magnificent, and forget them when they were something less| than that. Few are like Clemenceau, magni!icem”v all the time, aglow with something electrical gen- erated within. Most of them need a time, a place, | a hand of cards; and it is better to see them then| their chips and cursing the dealer. i In the event an extra session of Congress is it will be up to President Hoover to pro- claim for the people a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer.
