The hope has been pretty v - generally expressed that the re- p vision may be accomplished with- a out undue delay. However, fear ^ of the effect of delay should not ^ be permitted to prevent intelli- 0 gent discussion of the schedules n and therefore a real revision that v will satisfy public opinion. At s, present it is impossible to know v anything on the subject and not until the discussion has been taken up in the newspaper and by the commercial bodies throughout li the country and until the Con' p gressmen begin to hear from their o constituents will the real public ti opinion be known. t< c c Washington newspapers are ^ conducting a vigorous campaign p for a change in tlfc date of the in- ? auguration of the President and j, .Vice-President, and Senator De- Q pew has offered a resolution in g the Senate recommending a con- ^ stitutional amendment to this ef- g feet. Speaker Cannon has signi- u fied his willingness to cooperate ^ with those who are taking the tj lead in this movement. The pro- g posed change seems to meet gen- n eral approval, and if the papers throughout the country will continue the campaign. Congress now in special session may be indue- t< ed to take definite steps with that J jk end in view.

A good beginning has been r4ade but the test is by far the seerest that Judge Tatt has yet tood and his progress will be matched with interest. Ever since a coinage was estabshed in this countrv the nrinei al has been followed that the face f a citizen should not appear on be coins, and the recent decision n substitute the portrait of Linolnl fo?- the Indian head on the ent marks a decided failure. Washington refused the use of his ortrait on the coins of the United itates. The Senate favored placigr the portrait of the President n the silver dollar and many usts were made of Washington iythe engravers in 1791 and 1792 >ut none were ever approved by im and the head bf Liberty was nally adopted.
