AT LAST!
After years of inactivity, after years1
of discussion and periodic pleas from
various leagues of political econom-
ists and governmental improvement
associations, Congress nas at last
taken the initial steps in the process f
of amending the constitution to ad-
vance the date of the inauguration of
the President of the United States
from March 4 to January, and to con-
vene Congress two months, instead of
13 months, after its election. The
change has already been too long de-
layed, and now that action is started,
it should be passed as quickly as pos-
sible and subihitted at once to the
states.
The makers of the constitution of
the United States, back in 1789, did a
remarkable piece of work, writing a
document that has lived through more!
flan a century, despite tremendous
changes in the size of the country
and the advancement of its civiliza-
tion. Only 19 amendments have been
necessary, ten of which are not
amendments in the technical sense of
the word, but merely a Bill of Rights
appended to the original document.
It was a monumental achievement.
However, modern conditions havc
long since made the process of in-
augurating a President out-of-date.-
The long period between the presi-
dential election in November and the
naunguration in March was necessary
in 1789 and the decades following it,
but modern communication and trans-
portation have rendered such a long
period unnecessary and, especially
when the nation refuses to sanction
the action of its leader and changes
the administration, it is distinctly dis-
advantageous. A constitutional amend-
ment has been necessary for some
time, and Congress has at last come
to this realization.
In addition to all the other points
in favor of the proposed constitutional
amendment, it will eliminate the so- 1
called "short" session of Congress,
which, under the present system, must;
otcur every other year, as Congress;
goes out of office in March. The
elimination of the "short" session
will greatly reduce the amount of 1

during the 164 days of the strike.
The miners gained little, and lost
much in wages and damage to their
union. Their officials were forced to
recognize the principles of arbitration
and their organization has been
greatly weakened, from which weak-
tess it may never recover.
Perhaps when both parties become
more fully aware of the real signifi-
cance of their losses, they may at the
same time become aware of a better
way of settling their disputes.
WELCOME, H IGdWAY EN(AINE ERS
The sessions of the twelfth annual
conference of highway engineers,
sponsored by the engineering college,
opened yesterday with pertinent and
authoritative talks on the practical
road problems of the state. The open-
ing speeches were an index of the in-
valuable work being done by these
men. The members discussed ways
and means of improving, in the im-
mediate future, our highways. These
men benefit our state while others
talk about it.

A DEFENSE OF THOSE FOSSIL
PEARLS
Aristophanes says that those fos-
sil pearls look like shriveled peas. He
goes on to state that mastodons could
not have played marbles or golf with
objects so small unless they used
microscopes. If these pearls are
shriveled who knows what their origi-
nal size was? They have been shiri-
veling for 20,000,000 years. They may
have been as big as balloons. This
disposes of the anachronism of at-
tributing microscopes to prehistoric
animals.
ARISTO.

And that finishes the Pearl contro-
versy. If anyone wants to know any-
thing more about it, they may find out
by writing us care of ROLLS dept.

The next etching of Mr. Mipp will
appear as soon as it can be prepared
for publication, which will not be very
long.
