Hamner ,rence Walkley Carl W. Hammer Ihannah Waller 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.

KERN 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" STUDENT IS SUICIDE: FAILS TO RECEiVE INVITATION TO PAN-hIELLIC Following is a picture of Bo Chain- berlin, famous intercollegiate movie star, committing suicide for the news reel photographers at a late hour yes- terday: WA TER "I was not invited to the Pan.

He has taken Minnie to every campus function of note in the past three years: Minnie imported Julius Snoogle. bower from Owosso, a childhood sweetheart and other Ithings. Otto left town for the week-end. g g a tU t L1 t yl ajU0. 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. -R.
