The PRESIDENT ABROAD.
rhe Idea That lilo cannot visit Foreign
Soil n Mere Superstition.

The Idea That He Cannot visit Foreign
Soil Mere Superstition.
There is a popular superstition that
the President of the United States is
inhibited from leaving this country
during his term OF Office. but il is SUI
perstition only. The article of the
Constitution which relates to the Pres.
ident contains no provision OF the sort.
and therefore the President is quite
free TO do precisely as he chooses in
this matter.
The reason why no President has
ever visited foreign countries until af.
ter his retirement has probably been
due TO the fact that in the early years
of the republic. before the invention
of the telegraph and before the laying
OF the Atlantic cable, and also before
the development of steamships of
great speed, absence from the country
would have meant so protracted sew
erance of communication between the
executive ana the subordinate officers
of the Government as to constitute
what would have been practically an
inability TO discharge the powers and
duties OF his Office. When it required
month to make the voyage to Europe
and when letters and orders could be
transmitted only by sailing packets.
or, atterward by steamship, it would,
of course. have been impossible for
the President to visit England with
out practically abdicating his office
and installing the President I'm
his place. But now, when the time re-
quired to pass from New York to
Queenstown is but little more than
five days, and when Immediately upon
his landing he would be in telegraphic
communication every moment with
his Cabinet, there exists no satisfac-
tory reason why he should not feel
entirely free to perform a striking act
in international courtesy.
1t is not, indeed true, that no Presi-
dent has ever gone beyond the boun-
daries of his country. President Ar
thur. during his term OF Office went to
Florida by sea, and although he did so
on vessel of the navy. and was there
fore technically still upon American
soil he was. rs n matter Of fact. shut
Off from communication with the ad-
ministrative departments for several
days; and President Cleveland also on
one occasion, while shooting in the
Adirondacks, crossed the Canadian
border and for several hours was.
without knowing it, actually upon
British territory.
If, indeed, the President OF the Uni
ted States were now to visit Egypt he
need never be so remote from Wash

INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW,

Speaking of this law the pres
ident in his message says:-"Ex-
perience has shown the wisdom
Of its purposes, but has also
shown possibly that some of its
requirements are wrong, certainly
that the means devised for the
enforcement of its provisions are
defective"
Whatever may be the defects
of the law, and they are regarded
as serious-the chief instrument
devised for its enforcement is not
only defective but VIGOROUSLY
inadequate to the task. This is
a commission known as the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
This was first formed with Judge
Cooley Of Michigan as chairman.
: He was a man of high legal at
tainments, of unblemished char
acter and of stern, unyielding in
tegrity. There has never been
any question that he did not
conscientiouslv do his duty and
strive to- have the commission
give the law right Interpretation

and just application. He utterly
failed. It has been charged, in
general terms of course, repeat
edly in the press and from the
platform that the commission
was bought, bribed, corrupted,
controlled, owned by the railway
companies; that Judge Cooley
was placed at the head of the
commission that his we'll known
character might be foil, a shield,
a screen for the corrupt prac
tees of the, other members.
However true or false these
charges may have been there is
no question but Judge Cooley
was bitterly disappointed by the
conduct of the commission, and
almost heart broken in conse-
quence of the unenviable reputa-
ton it bore. The railway COM
panies nader serious complaint,
at any time, and this fact served
but to the discredit of the com
mission. In the public mind the
commission is utterly discredited,
