The "honor system" will not lie used, ''Doctor Hnney believes it tins been V proved u failure. 'The first move," said Doetor Ilaricy yesterday, "will be to elect n student council composed of representa fires from ench section nnd rla's.

They will paRs upon any dedred chance, then in turn it will be adopted by the full council nnd finally come tn the faculty for consideration nd adoption if approved. "Although there will be some tn novation made In the school manage ment, nothing unusual will be even suggested or considered until after the decision of the courts ns to the return of.

Barnett Demotion Laid to Social War Continued from 1'nre Onr Harnett's successor in command of the IE, niarine corps. He is n Louisiana 1 Democrat. lie comes from the French aristocracy of the far South the stock that fought for Napoleon nnd tried to establish n new world empire for tit" "little corporal." In all the contro versy centering around General Har nett's -demotion, there is nothing that reflects on (r.cral Lejeune as a soldier or a gentleman. , General Barnett begged to go over seas when war was declared, but was kept here to organize the corps and keep the machinery of administration, supply and-rcplaccmcnt ruuuing smoothly. So, he sent General Lejeuue. I-itcr, when Congress passed an act creuting a per. mancnt major generalship in the marine corps in addition to the rank of major general commandant, held by General Barnett, the latter promptly recom mended General Lejeune for appoir.t tnent in the new rank, and his recom mendation was confirmed. With the close of the war and the demobilization of the war forces. Gen eral. Lejeune was placed in command ot tht. marine base at (Junntlco, Ya , ami General Barnett remalnid here. IThat was the way matters stood xvben Secretary Daniels announced the appointment of General Lejeune to the command of the marine corps and subsequently, the assignment of Gen eral Harnett to command of n new . brigade with headquarters at Han Francisco. Second Term Unfinished "With General Harnett's removal ns major general commuudant, he drops Aback automatically to the rank of brigadier. General Lejeune's elevation t leaves a major generalship vacant, and ; it is assumed in justice to everybody concerned that General Barnett will shortly be restored to his former mili tary rank, though, of course, not to the post of commandant. Ills demotion came in the middle of his term. The major general com mandant is appointed for four jeais. General Barnett served one. term out and was in the midst of his second. The normal expectation whs that he would bo permitted to serve as com mandant to the end of this term in February, lfC-'. thereby rounding out forty-five years' service in every grade from midshipman to the highest com mand obtainable. It is the "whys" of Secretary 'Daniels's order, as estimuted by social .leaders and the marine corps that caused the present commotion. K-Above all other considerations. Sec retary Daniels is charged w ith having "played politics" in General Harnett's removal. However, there Is not the slightest intimation that General Lejeune per sonally pulled tlie strings which gave him the appointment Suspicion rests rather on certain senators whose in fluence in such matters is common knowledge. But this is not nil. It is the theory of the navy set and the marine corps, but not the theme of heart-to-heart talks nnd tete-a-tetes over societ 's teacups. There is a social angle which has its foundations in the bedrock of caste and femlulne natutes, if gossip runs true. Mrs. Barnett In "Inner Clrrle" Mrs. Barnett, as 11 Montague of Vir ginia, the widow of Beverly Gordon, of Baltimore, before her marriage to Gen eral Barnett, m something m mhmiii dictator. She is one of those whose Word "goes" in society and whose guest lists are scanned and copied bv climb ers and aspirants for higher places in the social scale There are certain little dinners and affairs of the exclusive set of which she is a member, to which even cabinet members and their wives are not in vited. The "cabinet set" lias its own (-.tending nud connections, of course, nnd sometimes is the top covering of the tipper crust of capital society, but this is not true in the present administra tion, and Icbs true of some of the mem bers of the cabinet group. fit- et thlu 1.1 1 11 fi l.r. nu it... i In.... n UU. . ...... ......... ...... ....

POLITICS BLAMED Fi Saloonkoopors Claim Thoy Aro Baird Machine's Rovengo for Cox Indorsomont DECLARE ACTION ILLEGAL Camden county officials have not only "stirred tip n political boomerang" by their taids upon Camden and seizures of liquor, but also violated the law which they claim they were enforcing, Camden saloonkeepers declared today. The motive back of the raids was politics, pure nnd simple, it was said, and not the "high-minded purpose of purging Camden county of lllegnl liquor resorts." as was claimed bv the authori ties 'under whom the raids were plan ned, Camden saloonkeepers say they see the hnnd of David Httird. Hepublieati oigauizntimi lender iu the county, back of the arrests. This "change of front," as the saloon men say. on the part of j Camden's political ring, is based on the nttitude of the Associated Federa- J tlon of Liquor Trade of New Jersey whicli has been fighting for a modifica tion of the Volstead law and whose In dividual members have Indorsed the presidential oandldac) of Governor Cox nnd the Democratic ticket ns fnvorablc to the "wet" plotform. "Prosecutor Charles A. Wolverton claims he seized goods under the Bishop net nrohibitinir the sale of llntior with out a license," said nn official of the Camden Iletail Liquor Dealers As sociation. "In the first place, this law does not exist since the adoption of the eighteenth amendment to the constitu tion, and, secondly, the Bishop law does not permit a 'search and seizure,' as was resorted to by the prosecutor. I l future to sny nil the cases will be thrown out of court. I do not condone violation of the law, but is there proof of any violation? "The raids were conducted for effect only nnd an attempt nt intimidation, as sentiment in Camden countd is wholely for it modification of the Vol stead net." Despite the charges fifty city and pountv detectives under Prosecutor Woherton will continue the serving of bench warrants today on Camden coun ty saloonkeepers, nccused of selling liquor without licenses, it wns said. Thirty-four saloonkeepers and bar tenders, arrested in wholesale raids Thursday night, and thirty alleged violators who surrendered voluntarily yesterday when they learned warrants were issued for them, are held in $1000 bail for trial. In every instnnce, tho saloonkeepers nr their bartenders are charged with violation of the state law. They are not charged with violation of the Vol stead act. nnd the raids were made In depende. t of the federal prohibition en forcement authorities of this district. In nil. "40 warrants were issued from the bench following the return of S00 indictments against the Camden county saloonkeepers by the Camden county grand jury sitting in secret session. ..Governor Edwards, of New Jersey, was not consulted by Prosecutor Wol verton in planning the wholesale liquor raids, which began iu lamdcu county Thursday night. Say, what arc they doing up there in Camden?" he inqnired of a friend on arriving in Atlantic City from I.gg Harbor. "That's for you to explain." the friend parrlid. "What do you mean by letting them tear things wide open like that just when we thought New Jersey was going to make good jour cnmpnigu pledge?" "Whatever jou do. don't blame me," the governor responded. "I never had a bigger surprise in my life." Although the raids in Camden und vicinity were planned and are beiug executed without the co-operation of the federal authorities, John A. Crolly. assistant to Leo A. Crosseu, super vising prohibition enforcement officinl for this district, announced today that he would ask that nil liquor seized in the raids be turned over to the Phila delphia office.

He charged it would result in free appli cation of the "rifle and bayonet for settlement of strikes. And he appealed to the business men of the state to op pose such principles on the ground that the use of soldiers against labor could be nothing short of n "breeding factor for bolshevism."

Two Months Ahead of Democrats Continued from Tore One who hnvo bad experience and know ths ' gsmo of politics. i I Tho advisory committee on platform which Chairman Hays appointed be fore tho nationnl convention was an other cxampln of the extent to which organization has been carried by th Republicans and also of the nttractiog into party service of men and women who usually do nothing but vote and 5rrhaps make campalgu contributions. t was n good idea, though it did not work especially well first time It was tried: still it probably had the effect of Interesting a great mnny outsiders In party work. The Democrats hnvo done nothing at ' nil corresponding to what the Republi cans hnvo done. They present the other extreme. Theoretically their state or gnnizations aro efficient and nt work all the time, while the notional organiza tion is galvanized into activity for na tional campaigns. As already said they have no effective national machinery for collecting funds, though they will probably Imitate the Republican sji tcm four years from now. Emphasis On Stalo Work Tho Democratic tendency away from centralization is unusually Ftrnng this year. Tho emphasis Is all on the state organizations. This may be Governor Cox's idea. He often expressed his belief in the greater importance of the state organization. Literature Is' being sent out this ar by the Democratic state committees In stead of by the nntionnl committee. It is being prepared by the national body, but distributed locally. This is a change from tho past practices nf the Demo cratic party. Money for the Democratic campaign is as usual being largtly col lected by Democratic stnte and local or ganizations, instead nf an among the Republicans by n single national or ganization. This has its disadvantages, aincc the organization which collects money tends to hang on fo iond funds are not always available fbr distribu tion where it is most needed. In actual campaigning neither party has gone very far. Governor Cot baa mado his speeches, und Senator Hard ing has talked from his front porch. The Republicans sent out the first two cum palgn speakers. Colonel Theodoie Roosevelt nnd Raymond Robins, a few days ago. Literature, although printed some time ugo, is just beginning to be distributed.
