manent.
The constitution provides that the
rice president Shall assume executive
authority during the disability of a

The dismissal of .Mr. Lansing has
given the public much food for

f< uutry.
There should be no recurrence of
the present regrettable situation for

Congress should rii-Ane disability
at once and provide for the orderly
