Senator Norris of Nebraska charges President Coolidge with packing gov ernment commissions, or making ap-' pointments with conditions attached to them, for the purpose of control ling the action of those bodies. In stances are cited and rather convinc ing proof submitted. One instance is the reappointment of Mr. Lewis of the Tariff Commis sion. On the testimony of another member of that commission the presi dent wanted Mr. Lewis, who was given a recess oppointment during the presidential campaign, to tender a written resignation, effective at the president's pleasure. Mr. Lewis declined. It is charged that the Lewis appointment was a political move to impress the country' with the presi dent'6 fair-mindedness in retaining on that commission a Democrat whose tariff views were quite the opposite of Mr. Coolidge's. The charge seem ingly is borne out by the fact that after the election, when the recess tenure expired, Mr. Lewis was drop ped. Another name was sent to the senate. The case of Mr. Haney, whose res ignation from the Shipping Board was summarily demanded by the pres ident by wire from the Summer White House, is a matter of newspaper rec ord. Mr. Coolidge charged Mr. Haney with failing to keep an agreement entered into at the time of appoint ment. Mr. Haney denied any agree ment, politely explaining that in such assumption the president was mistaken. Mr. Haney, it is said, is scheduled for retirement. To Senator Norris this arbitrary exercise of his appointive power by the president is a grave abuse of ex ecutive authority, which "will shock the conscience of the American peo ple." In his judgment the president "is violating the laws of the land" ",ttrw"6 instruments oi commissions wmcn the law intended to be independent todies. Whether those charges will shock the popular conscience, as Mr. Nor- It is pertinent, however, to say that the Norris charges have already been recited as facts accomplished in a complimentary appraisal of the Coolidge character by the president's close and admiring friend, William Allen White. In a recent article in Collier's Mr. White explained these actions complained of by Senator Nor- ris as due to the president's profound beli f in Dr0Derty. in genius of busi- tiobd ffy nrooHnir u Tl rl rllctrlKllTin"" ..-, blessings and. therefore, in the obli- b ' gat ion devolving upon him zealously e to shield industry from any unto- J ' Plutarchian narrative. The White explanation, in our opinion. Is incomplete. The presi- dental conduct, which so distresses Senator Norris, may thus be summed up: Mr. Coolidge is playing practical politics in the presidency. Is that 6ur- prising? uouiu anytning eise iairiy be expected? is not pontics mt. Coolidge's profession the only pro fession he has ever really practiced? Has he not made his living in and by politics? In a professional sense I is not politics the only thing he .viewpoints and mental processes of a tfteir Dest judgment, in me ngtit or the facts and special information, are to be controlled through secret understanding with the appointing official, then why not abolish them all? Again, if the president can make 'such private arrangements with his appointees to various commissions why can he not make similar ar rangements with judicial appointees? If the president can dominate the commissions why can he not dominate the courts? The Post-Dispatch looks for no heated reaction to the Norris charges against Mr. Coolidge. We have seen bribery and incompetence degrade the highest official circles with cynical composure.

Handy Pack JOY OF THINKING Said John Grier Hibben, president of Princeton, in an interview considerable share of mankind shrinks from thinking as something painful to the mind. We might com - pare every mind to a level plain which by force of though can be. transformed into a place of beautiful J vales and inspiring summits. Some men are better endowed than others, as one is stronger than his fellows, j but in the broad sense we all have the; making of our own minds." There is no finer recreation than the recreation that comes from think-j ing. The joy of thinking is one of, the most pleasurable indulgences to which we can treat ourselves. Too many of us occupy our idle time in reverie instead of in thinking. What is the difference The difference is that reverie is a train of idly wandering, uncontroll- ed ideas. Thinking is definite, for a purpose, aimed at an end. It is a good thing for the human being to think about things he can-1 vanity of the tale. The world under not understand. We do not know,1 stands that Hamlet is a prince, and for instance, where we came from, We do not know what life is all about. We do not know where we:ceremonv is indicated in the lines i are going. The mind is broadened, expanded, ' made more tolerant, more flexible, and more keen by thinking about these things. Reach far in you thinking. Do not he afraid to brood much about noth- ing will be unknowable. But it will remain unknown for a long time if the human being is afraid to think. The idea that we have within us the power to make our own minds is a very serious idea. We make our-J selves by controlled thought. It we let into our thinking every dirty vag- abond and stray that knocks for a' moment at the brain's door we shall have within a sorry company a company that is bound to make us miserable. ' It is within our power to let in the good and bar the bad. The' joy of thinking is a great Joy, but one must learn how to do it by earnest practice. -:o:- Light from stars born before Nazarene has but recently reached the earth, for the first time and still skin of women who smoke is becom men try to measure life's importance ing taut and yellow, why does not by a human span. 5:: Money to loan on Farms Several Good Cass Coun ty Farms for Sale on Very Reasonable Terms.

Then the much talked and greatly exploited under taking, brought from London and accredited a great success in the English metropolis, will be forgot ten. It will be a long time before an other attempt will be made to mod ernize a drama of a past century. It doesn't pay. The Philadelphia Bul letin says: "The idea that the play's the thing and that scenic environ ment or the suitability of the cost umes to the period does not matter to an audience only have originated in the mind of a faddist or a circus promoter who expected to assemble spectators to witness a novel stunt.' " It Is recalled that a very capable actor some few years ago undertook to present Shakespeare's plays "in the manners and mode" of the time of the great English bard. No scenery was provided and there was little little attention given to costuming. No light effects, or trap doors, rising moons or other 6tage paraphernalia were used and the excellent play ers very nearly starved to death while ploding from college town to college town and pracing about the campuses and collecting half-rate admissions "Aifrom well'read students. The envir- onment was declared to be very near- ly that of the original performances; - but the public doesn't wish to be told with a printed sign that "this is the fore6t." The modern playgoers want to see the trees and the water in the distance, and if the moon is due j to rise then have the machinery in order and "get it up," promptly but slowly j Hamlet is a wonderful play a play within a play, and the charac- ter from which it takes its name is a wonderful creation. A youth who j has much to weigh upon his jroung shoulders and a mind that Quivers between philosophy and conviction, To hear the play read, with the eyes closed, the Import of its grayness is felt, the dual tragedy of its conclu- . sion becomes anticipated almost at the outset. When the eves are fixed upon the actors it seems right that they should in dress and manner con- form to the dignity and the pomp and his appearance is in the court of the Danes. An atmosphere of royalty and land unless found there the play-goers are discontented, Probably New York and Americans generally will be chided with a lack of appreciation when it is told on the other side of the Atlantic that Hamlet in evening' clothes was rejected, They know what they want, and arter all, their declination to admire Shakespearian plays when "modern- ized," may place them in even a high class. :o; ,-.

If women who smoke are becom- Ing sharper of feature because they smoke why do not men who smoke become sharper of feature If the ! the skin of men who smoke become taut Bnd yellow? As a matter of fact, the tendency of both men and women who are getting along in years is to become somewhat darker of skin although the skin is far more apt to become loose than taut. On the other hand, both men and women who exercise with any degree lOf frequency in the open air usually become ruddy or rosy and it doesn't matter a hoot whether they smoke or not. If this beauty boy is right, then women who drink should look like men and even chivalry must admit that many women indulge in a jolt now and them. If they play golf they should look like men. Indeed, if they dare keep on breathing and sleeping and eating and talking, they should look like men. Smoking may not be beneficial to men or women; but to say that it makes women . look like men is the veriest blah. Sometimes a beauty specialist knows his business, just as sometimes a voice-teacher knows his but they are both rare birds. :o: According to a well-known scien tist, if the question of the earth's ', rotundity were put to a world vote, there would be an immense majority In avor of Vo"ya' theory that It 1 flat.
