In this way, it was argued, censure of
the general would be avoided in open
senate, and possibly in the house.
The action Of the president bids fair to
have just the opposite effect. The mem
bers of the house particularly call atten-
tion to the inconsistency of Mr. Roose-
YeIt.
The president said member of the
ways and means committee of the house,
evidently has forgotten that consistency
is regarded as a jewel. He recently
made public an order which absolutely
forbade officers in the executive depart
ment of the government to take any
hand in the passage of legislation. While
his secretaries were making copies of
this order for publication, he was haling
the members of the ways and means
committee to the White house and tell
ing them that they must take some
action regarding tariff concessions for
Cuba"
