It is a case where the United States will be asked to decide whether ‘eoncurrént power réfers to thd neces- ity of passing similar laws before these can be enforced or whether it Means that the states shall have thé o jointly with federal authori- ties to ses that the law is enforced. e, NO THIAD TERM RACE, Some ‘i’ all probability who aspire to the democratic nomination for ‘president have been refrained from letting that become known because of the failure on the part of President Wiilson t6 gay whether he intended to be a candidate for a third term. President Wilson is a gredt breaker of precedents so that it would not as- tonish fhe country on that score should he want to run again, but the political condition is such today and the staté of his health that it would be-most surprising sheuld the nemi- nation Be again sought. Unjust as it may seen that he has not make known ‘his decigton before this, the explanation for his reticence is the fear that such would knock out the Jast prop of an already weakened po- Htical control. The result is that those who want to get thelr booms going are handicapped, Attorney General Palmer appears to have put his hat definitely in the ring, however, when he wrote to the Georgia state committee that his name could be uced in the primary and that he supports the record of the present administration. That séems to effectually break the ice. It may even be inferred therefrom that Mr. Paler as a supporter of the ad- ministration’s policies has been as- red or expects the support of the prasident in his eandiddey. Dut with- out any inference béing necessary it places him definitely to the front as an_aspirant for demdcratic honors and will of course make it possible for others who have been holding their booms in check, out of deference to the president, té come out into the open. After having endérsed the present administration, though in “These minor automobile' accidents amuse me,” laughed the girl whe was sitting on the front seat beside her chum, who was driving a new road- ster. “I'Ve seen S0 many of them, in my-own car and others. They are ail much alike, and they ase all funny as long as no gne is hurt.” “They don't strike you as fanny at the time' remonstrated the unh whas dniwing. ‘They seemr pretty dead serious then.” “That's just the " weént on the #irl beside her. body looks s serious that it's perfectly killing.

IN THE DAY’S NEWS Navy Medals and Why They Are Given | The controversy about the bestowai of decorations upen naval horees of the War lends intérest to the hittory of the three Navy awards now made, *hich is related in the following bul- ielin fron. the National Geographic Society: The Nuvy medal was changed in 1%°2 to bestow it on ‘seamen distin- guishing tucmseives in battle or for extraordinary heroism in the line of their profession’ This eliminated ‘seamaniike qualitie’ and confined it to heroism, but it will be noted that it permitted the granting of the yeward for heroism at other times than in action, and a number of Medals of Honor have been sa given in the Navy. This condition lasted until February, 1918, when the wording ot the Army conditions was adopted for the Navy ials0, 50 that the Medal of Honor. the highest award in the Army, and the Navy Medal aré now on exactly the same footing. “The Medal of Honor was institueed by act of Comgress in 1861°and was the earliest American decoration.

The Distinguished Service Médal ranks next to the Medal of Honor. “It should bhe noted that the rvices | to be awarded with this decoration do not havé to be renedered at the front, much less in action, the requirement of sreat regponsibility being the govern ing factor. It should also be observed that this decoration can be awarded to_ivomen. “The Navy Cross was authorized by the simé law that establishem the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, and it can be awarded to any ore In the naval sérvice who distinguishes him- If by extraordinary heroism or by distinguished service not justifying the award of the Medal of Honor or the Distinguished Service Medal. “The difference bétween this and the Distinguished Service Cross of the Army should Be noted.

The Navy Cross is much broaded in scope and, in addition t6 heroism in action, it Includés any other distinguished service, not only in time of war but also In peace, in the theatre of hostilities or elsewhere, It is a junior decoration to both the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Meédal. “These three naval decoritions cover the whole possible gamut of services hich should be rewarded. The Medal of Honor is the appropriate reward for éxtraordinary valor in action, the Distinguished Service Medal for any other specially distinguished services, and the Navy Cross for any meritori- ous service, of whatever character, of a lesser degree OTHER VIEW POINTS The train through the Berkshires on which General Pershing was a passenger, was hauled by two engines and headed by a snow plow.

The state executive commiitee of the American Legion has piaced it- self upon record as endorsing a proposition to pay bonus to every one of the former service men. It is apparent that the bonus idea has not been received with universal ap- proval by men who served in the army and navy in the great war. Some of them are outspoken against it, because they don’t like to have a money vaiue placed upon their Serv- icés. But there is no immediate oc- casion for worry.
