DUTY OF THE PRESIDENT
Senator Hoar Declares It Is Not t,
NEEDLE With Congress.
gs,srabls Massachusetts, Statesman De-.
i,vers . Momliy on the Right OF the
Executive TO Snauenes Legislation.

Washington. d. Gust before the
adjournment Of the Senate a few days
ago, there was a little scene that will
be memorable for many days. Sena-
tor Spooner had made the motion to
adjourn when Senator Burton asked
him to withhold a moment to give him
opportunity to ask for consideration or
q bill which he named by Its number.
Senator Spooner compiled n the
Kansas Senator went on TO explain
that the measure was n that had
been inadvertently vetoed by the Pre't.
dent. and the committee that had had
1t In charge had reported It unani'
mously.
This extraordinary statement caused
n number Of Senators to prick up their
ears. and Senator Spooner and Senator
Hoar pressed Burton closely with ques-
ton after question until they Ia
drawn from him the fact that the bill
was practically identical with the ve-
toed bill, but the committee Of which
Burton was a member had made q few
nominal changes 80 that II could not
be called the same bill, and so require
q two-thirds vote to pass It. Then
Senator Hoar took occasion TO lecture
the Kansas Senator on the error OF
the proceedings.
Burton interrupted with a remark
referring to the Presidents interest In
LEGISLATION before Congress. and this
switched the venerable Massachusetts,
Senator off into a homily on the Presi-
dents duty with regard to the delibera.
tons Of Congress. He said that the
President was constantly being report.
ed In the press, whether truly or not
he could not say. as trying to influepce
legislation. Hardly a week or a day
passed that he did not read that GER
tain Senator's had been called to the
White House 10 be consulted by the
President in regard to some measure
pending before Congress. Only a few
DAYS ago q certain Senator. and Mr..
Hoar turned and looked directly at
Senator Aldrich, had been reported to
have been Mt the White House to talk
over trust legislation with the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Hoar said that the President
should not NEEDLE with the work OF
Congress. 1t was his duty. II he
thought 1t necessary to communicate
his opinions and such information as
he might have about matters OF lesis.
lation, in O message. and there he
should stop. Not until Congress had
acted and sent to the President the re-
suit of its deliberations In the shape OF
the act duly adopted should the Pres'.
dent have anything to say about any
measure before Congress.
The Senator's language was caustic
and fearless. and was evidently the
result Of some prolonged thought on
his part. The affair caused some ex'
element for q few moments.

London.-The poor Of London are not

taken up In the collection boxes. These
shares average thirty seven cents. The
majority Of the men In these process
sions are dock laborers.
Many Of them arc completely ex-
hausted at the end OF the march. and
some collapse and are taken to the hos
pital. The past week has been n Of
the bitterest winter weather London
has ever experienced. and 1t is not
surprising that the lalf-fed. half-clad
men are unable to bear the strain OF
the march in the piercing freezing
wind.
During the greater part Of the dis
lance the marchers are silent. and
nothing Ia heard except the rafting OF
the cash boxes. Now and then. how

chorus:
THE poor. the poor. are ever In the
