SPECIAL SESSIONS
It is one of the peculiarities of the American governmental
i .. rvmirroKa plndefl in November of one year is
not expected to assemble until December of the year following,
TTiiriprm months is a nretty long time to wait for a popular man
date, registered at the polls, to be put into legislative effect. If
therk was ever reason for this postponement, there is certainly
none now.
Happily, the Constitution provides a way of avoiding most
of the delay, through the device of a special session called by
the President at his discretion. If it were not for this device,
the government would be in a sad way at present, with a dozen
big problems clamoring for legislative action.
By summoning Congress to meet on April 11, President Hard
ing anticipates its automatic beginning by eight months, as sev
eral of his predecessors have done in corresponding emergencies.
It is not unlikely that the duties awaiting-Congress will hold it
throughout the summer and fall, making the special session
merge into the regular session.
Such action as this is always possible, and has been resorted
to with increasing frequency in late years. It would be obvious
ly the sensible thing to change the system, so that a new Con
gress, ut least in the years beginning a presidential term, would
assemble automatically-soon after March 4. There is a growing
impression that it would be still more sensible if a President's
term were made to end with the calendar year, so that a new.
President and a now Congress could both enter upon their duties
within two months of their election.

THE TALK OF TAFT
Reports that President Harding will appoint William Howard
Taft to the Supremo Court when the next vacancy occurs will
arouse little criticism from any source. Whatever Mr. Taft's
record as president, whatever his political faith or inclinations,
he is likuble, and he does command the nation's respect. He is
a great lawyer, an experienced judge, and his experience in pub
lic service, and the quality of his service to the public are great.
The present chief justice, Edward Douglass . White, himself
a Taft appointee, is 76 and long past the age for retirement on
full pay. Ho has served in his present capacity for 11 years with
distinction. His withdrawal from this important post would sur
prise no one. .
It is known that Mr. Taft lias long entertained the ambition
to servo as a member of the supreme bench, and ther seems
every reason that his wish will be gratified. If he live to do so
he will enjoy the distinction of being the only man i tie hSo ry

On Easter morning n .fashionable

hurry to dress for churchf she put
on her new bonnet and furs, but for
got her skirt. She attracted no spec
ial attention, however, as tho other
worshipers and exhibitors thought
that sho was leading them in some
thing very late in fashions.
