Such a mission is naturally devoid of politics, but it would be too much to expect that President Cosgrave's coming will not be made the signal for some manifestations of disapproval from Irish Republican sympathizers.

Meanwhile Representative White of Maine has introduced in the House a measure designed to extend the life of the radio commission for at least an- other year.

Now that the annual seed catalogues have begun to come in. the home gar- dener may decide which plants he will grow this Spring, and, what is more important perhaps, which ones he wili not_grow.

Despite the gov- ernor's dictum to the effect that he re. fuses to recognize the Senate's action, mominations for the seat in the Senate may be made by the political parties | in the State, in anticipation of the| election in November. At least, the | Democratic party is likely to make such & nomination and to demand that the official ballot carry the name of its candidate for the office. Would the Republican party in the State follow | suit or would it, under the domination | of the governor, who is the recognized | head of the organization in Illinols, | abstain from entering the lists? In the latter case there would be a contest, Pprobably in the courts, over the ques- | tion of the official ballot. Buppose at the opening of Congress next December a Democrat should pre- sent himself with a certificate showing that in an election held in the Btate, in November he had received a ma-| Jority of the votes cast for the office | of United States Senator, the governor refusing to give him formal credentials | on the ground that no vacancy existed | and that the election was not valid.

It is proposed by the pending meas- ure to subject all schools of learning to certain standards of instruction and responsibility before permitting them to leit students, resident or respondent. Some question has been raiced as to the authority or bady by which this su tained. The b require amend- ment in this respect to insure perfect confidence that the standards will be adequate and the practices of the supervisory body will not be unduly narrowed. But in some form there should be lezislation that will stop this public nuisance-of traudulent diploma sranting. Washington has suffered severely from this evil. As the Capital of the Nation it has a peculiar prestige. The " the title of some of these institutions, suggested by their location at the seat of government. has led to much mis- chief and confusion. The implication of association with the Government has been evident. Th: frauds reflect upon the community. Washington is helpless, under the laws as they stand. and should have the protection of the more stringent legislation that is now proposed. R A Deterring Example Ignored. If an arrest fust made in Baltimore is justified by the facts, the deterrent ef- fect of capital punishment for homi- cide may be brought again into ques- tion by those who hold that the death penalty does not lessen crime.
