the Republican party are regarded, it
is not safe to assume that they have
nothing up their sleeve. A move, such
as the circulation of "chain letteis,"
to keep the present Republican leader
in the political limelight, would be
wholly judicious. As well as keeping
the party itself to the fore, it would
do away with any if the inevitable
criticisms on the part of the Democra-
tic party were some other prominent
Republican to be nominated at this
time, and at the same time prolong
the opposing parties political cam-
paign.
With party strife thus diverted until
the last minute, and with interest cen-
tered upon their maneuvers, the Re-
publicans would be in a good position
to push a newly-chosen candidate.
It is certain, however, that Pres-
ident Coolidge will continue to dis-
courage any open movement to draft
him, such as the recent petitioning
movement: he ended in a hurry a
movement to have a meeting of Mas-
sachusetts Republicans endorse him;
a New Jersey G. 0. P. leader who told
the President his state was going to
indorse him anyway, was told in no
uncertain terms that President Cool-
idge meant what he said; Senator
Fess of Ohio was rebuked for his per-
sistent statements that the party
would draft the President; and now,
publicly, President Coolidge has dis-
claimed the chain letters draft move-
ment.
One or both of two things are cer-
tain: President Coolidge is quite sin-
cere in what he says, or the Republi-
can panty is earnestly endeavoring to
usher in a new candidate with the
same movement that sees their pres-
ent leader step out of office.
WILLIAM H. G. BULLARD
A long and picturesque career was
brought to a close a few days ago by
the death of Rear Admiral William
H. G. Bullard, chairman of the Federal
Radio commission. He had seen serv-
ice in the Navy for more than 36 years
prior to his retirement in 1922; and
for more than a quarter of a century,
he had been actively connected with
the development of radio in this coun-
try.
Seeing actual fighting for the first
time in the Spanish-American war, he
advanced in position until during the
World war, he commanded the United
States Naval forces in the Eastern
Mediterranean; was a member of the
Inter-Allied commission to put into ef-
fect the naval terms of the armistice
with Austro-Hungary; and received the
surrender of the Austro-Hungarian
fleet. In 1919, he was a member of the
Peace Conference delegation at Paris.
Being seleoted to head the Radio
commission, the late Rear Admiral
worked hard to solve the problems re-
sulting from the rapid growth of the
new industry. He has been variously
referred to as "Czar of the Air" and
as "the father of American radio,"
and at all events, was considered one
of the outstanding figures in the de-
velopment of radio communication in
the United States.
THE HUGHES REPORT
When questions of legality are al-
lowed to enter into a common sense
matter, the decision is often likely to
be disparaging to the cause of true
justice, and superficially, at least, the
recent report of Charles Evans
Hughes, Special Master from the
United State Supreme court on the
question of the Chicago waterway di-
version, seems as though it might be
one of these cases.
The decision holds that the War de-
partment ruling of March 3, 1925, by
which the diversion is authorized is
legal, and that consequently the, af-
fected states have no redress throughj
the cour-ts. The report is undoubtedly
made in accordance with the soundest
legal principles, and neither Charles
Evans Hughes nor the law of the land
can be blamed if an injustice has been
done.
The same report admits, however,
that the level of the Great Lakes has
been reduced six inches by the diver-
sion of this vast volume of water, and
that as a consequence the condition of
harbors, especially on Lake Michigan,
is indeed serious.
Apparently the only redress which
the protesting states can gain is
through Congress, for the Hughes re-
port, while admitting the present le-
gality of the diversion states also that
The War department is subservient to
the wishes of Congress itself. If the
diversion, then, is causing tremendous
loss and waste, the present legality of
the Chicago drainage canal need not
stand in the way of sane Congressional
action next December.

AN AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT
The Oxford plan of independent edu-
cation in which tlhe student is allowed
to pursue his course of studies in his
own way; subject only to the super-
vision of a tutor with whom he enters
into intimate discussion and research,
has long been the ideal of education.
It has been copied and studied in all
parts of the world and many countries
have taken the best points of the sys-
tem and embodied them in their own
educational activities.
With the advent{ of-the tutorial sys-
tem into the halls of Harvard, which
has long been called the American Ox-
ford, statements have been appearing
all over the country to the effect that
the new system was but the counter-
part of the Oxford system and that the
working of the plan was dependent
for its success upon the following of
the Oxford plan.
But a study of the plan in use at
Harvard reveals the fact that it is far
removed from the plan which is in use
at Oxford. While the Oxford plan pro-
vides for much individual work with
no supervision but that of the tutor,1
the Harvard plan still retains the lec-
ture system in conjunction with theI
tutorial plan. The former provides
for an education in fact which results
in written exposition, while the inter-
course with the tutor provides for a
verbal discussion of the field.
The plan that is In ise at Harvard
promises to make a great advance in
the cause of American education. It
seems to be one step ahead of ther
Oxford plan and also would seem to
be more consistent with the American
temperament than the plan of placingf
every man entirely on his own. I
REPUDIATION OR DIVERSION?
President Coolidge, for the first time
since the utterance of his historical,
"I do not choose to run" statement,
has bluntly and publicly given appar-'
ent proof of the veracity of that choice
by repudiating the latest move to draft
him for the Republican nomination by
means of petitioning. The President
voiced his disapproval in the presence
of a group of newspapermen this week
of the circulation of "chain letter"

The tinkling can become metallic,
hard. And then, in the chains of ir-
resistible fate the careless flip of a
card becomes ominous, the thought-
less kiss a portent. Until, bound fast
in the mesh of little things, the char-
acters realize the inevitable justice
of life's gambling system and bow as
gracefuly as they can to the sweep
of greater misfortune.
..Such is Schnitzler's theme in "Day-
break," which gathers in the short
space of two days and two nights the
whole life of Lieutenant Wilhelm Kas-
da, only to take it away from him the
morning of the third. 'Willi' dies with
a smile, elegantly according to his
code, and justly according to life's
I gamble.
hELEN JOSEPh'S PUPPETS
At Mimes theater yesterday after-
noon Mrs. Joseph and her Cleveland
puppet troupe presented a program
of fairy tales and Arabian night
scenes. There were two perform-
ances, the first containing the play of
"Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and
"Snow White and the Seven Little
Dwarfs," and the second being entire-
ly the story of "Ali Baba and His
Forty Thieves."
The show was frank and unaffected
imitation but its naivete appealed
very much to the child imagination,
and the various imperfections inevita-
ble with pupIet shows only added to
the amusement and the general feel-
ing of imaginative story telling.
