Fr fan ge New York office, etfics Mo Canadian Giving the President a Chance Comes Senator Edge of New Jersey with a method of relieving the president of the United States of his overwhelming burden of detail in the White House, so that he can maintain his health and devote himself to the major matters of policy of government. Senator Edge’s plan is only one of many that have been suggested since Mr. Harding’s break-down. Edge would add a simple amendment to the constitution trans- ferring the vice-president from his trivial post as pre- siding officer of the senate to the far more important duty of assistant to the president. , The vice-presidency has been a joke for half a cen- tury. The idea of duly electing a man to the second highest office in the land and then giving him notking to do is preposterous, especially so when viewed from the White House, where another man, just one step higher in our system, is so burdened with work that he cannot attend to it all. . Most of the other schemes for relieving the pres dent involve the creation of a new cabinet post, which Would correspond to the premier in most modern dem- oeratic governments. One advantage of the Edge plan is that it involves merely putting to work an official already provided for in the constitution. The weakness is that this official, the vice-president, is not respons- ible to the president for his job, and therefore might not make an ideal subordinate. More important than the details of the Edge plan, however, it will strike many people, is the warning that the senator makes of “the positive necessity to lighten the executive burdens at once and not just talk about it.” Let’s do something, and give our presidents a chance. Improvement in America reported. New Yorker whipped a man for singing, “Yes, We Have No Bananas. Hindus and Mostems clash. The Hindu, as you know, when he has no clothes make his skin do. _ More bad luck for Europe. One out of every four United States sena- ters are studying Europe. Some men will shine. One made $890 shining shoes in Sing Sing. .Why Courts Are Unpopular The supreme judges of this state have decided that Tacoma must vote all over again on the school bond issue, It’s very necessary, says the black-robed tribunal down at Olympia, because a couple of little technicalities in the law were not observed. Tacoma’s school board prepared the plans for the bond issue under the direction of Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Nash, of Pierce county. Nash is not a young, inexpe enced lawyer. He is an old, well schooled, careful man, who has himself been on the superior bench, and he studied the latest freak laws of the legislature well before he prepared the plan and gave it to the school board. Nash probably knows as much about the law as any member of the supreme court; he has had more to do with the actual handling of the law than some of the members of that tribunal. He thought he had the tech- nical problems settled right. Then the people of Tacoma voted overwhelmingly for the school bonds. There was not the slightest question about what the people wanted. The supreme court found nothing fundamentally wrong with the Tacoma school bond plan. The people had ap- proved it. The means for paying the bonds was provided. But out of the great mystery of long words and hidden meanings and hokum, the judges dragged forth technical reasons which in their opinion makes it necessary for Tacoma to vote all over again and to wait a year to do it. Is there any wonder that most folks regard the law as a game of chance and justice all a gamble when not even a specially trained lawyer can draw up a simple bond is- sue so that it will get by a technicality-seeking court? Chief Justice Taft, of the United States supreme court, Yécently made a statement that evidentlywhas not come to the attention of the Olympia jurists. He said courts should NOT EVERLASTINGLY TRY TO DEFEAT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE! Nordgaard, of Muskegon, Mich., made a golf hole in one, but doesn't quite believe it yet. Canadian bankers offer $10,000 for skx robbers. Ought to get at least 8 dozen for itiat. In Monticello, IIL, a golfer who made a hole in one Is able to sit up In bed a little. All hotels are higher. What Women Talk About Men often wonder what women talk about when they’re alone. We presumie women have a reciprocal curiosity. * Henry T. Moore decided to make a scientific investiga- tion of “sex differences in conversation.” He tells about it in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology. Every evening for several weeks Moore walked up and down the night-life district of Broadway in New York, listening to the talk between men, between women and be- tween mixed groups. He discovered that, out of every 100 women conversing with women, 44 were discuss’ persons of the opposite sex—men. Twenty-three talked about clothing, building and interior decorations. Sixteen discussed persons of their same sex. Where a woman was talking to a man, in 22 cases out of 100 the conversation was about men and the same number about money and business. In the case of a man talking to a woman, the talk in 25 out of 100 cases concerned amusement. Second-choice topic was money and business, 22. f Where men were with men, no women present, the talk in 48 out of 100 cases had to do with money and business. Amusement ranked second, 14 out of 100. Third came persons of the same sex, 13 cases. And only 8 out of 100 conversations were about women. According to Moore’s eavesdropping, money and busi- ness dominate nearly a half of the conversation between men, while nearly half of the talk of woman-to-woman deals with men. Of course, Broadway is not altogether typical of life in general. It is a center of diversion and the crowds found talking there at night are light-hearted and none too serious-minded. Still, it’s in our recreational moments that our real selves—our repressed desires—rise to the surface. Detroit will have a 29-story hotel. Springfield, 1., will have a baby show. About 1,000 babies will enter, much to their disgust. Printer arrested in New York is supposed to have three wives. Release him for punistiment.
