The Presidents Pension Order
Times-D Democrat.


1t is almost unthinkable that the
President should have issued an
order granting a service pension
to veterans of the civil war, but it
is asserted that Mr.. Hitchcock,
Secretary of the Interior, will, in
reply to the Overman resolution of
inquiry, acknowledge that such an
order has been issued, and add
that the estimate of his department
of the amount involved in the or
der is not less than $66, 100000.
In this affair Mr.. Roosevelt has
gone further than any other Pre-
sident ever contemplated going,
and it will be strange indeed
should Congress rot give him a
prompt rebuke and rescind his or
der. The order of the President
not only involves the Legislative
power, but the exercise of that
power by the Executive in its most
offensive form. The Constitution
not only separated the executive
and legislative branches of the
government, but it lodged in the
House of Representative exclu-
sively the right to originate reve-
nue. bills. The President has not
only originated such a measure,
but ho has also. passed that legis-
lation without SO much as saying
to Congress, "By your leave"
Such an assumption of power on
the part of the Executive would
result in a successful trial for i'm
parchment were not the Congress
a partisan body under the domina-
ton of the man who is for the mo-
ment executive of the government
and the undoubted master Of his
party. As it is, however, it is
doubtful if even the complacency

of the dominant party in Congress
will let this invasion of their right
pass without rebuke. If the Pre-
sident have the right to grant SER
vice pensions to veterans of the
civil war, he can grant them to
any man who has ever been enroll
ed in the service of the govern
ment in time of war or of peace,
and the power of the House of
Representatives will be limited to
finding the money to meet the ex-
penses of the government, without
the opportunity of limiting those
expenditures 10 such a figure as it
believes it can safely impose on
the people of the country. Con-
gress will become merely the GUAR
dian or angel" of prodigal Pre-
sident, and taxes will be wrought
from the people to be disposed Of
to suit the wishes of ruler. who
has all the power of the autocrat
of the Russias except the power of
the Judiciary, and even that has
been manipulated indirectly by at
least one of our Presidents. In a
much less freer age this very at
tempt of the ruler to manage the
purse of the nation resulted in the
abolition IF the divine rights of
kings, and the rulers head went
off on the scaffold because he in
sisted upon acting both as the
ruler and the Parliament.
This latest display of the AFRO
gance of the President can not and
must not be tolerated. If Con-
gress do not rebuke hitn, the duty
of SO doing will fall upon the peo-
pie. and he will find that he has
passed the limit of popular pa
thence, and can not yet override
the Constitution of the country at
his sweet pleasure.

THE TOWN ELECTION.

The time il now upon us to be
thinking about the town election
which will be held on the 18th of
May.
We believe it is time for the
town committee to decide whether
sprimaries or conventions should
he called or whether the candi-
dates will go directly before the
,people at the election. We are of
.opinion that it would be best not
ito go to the trouble of a primary,
.but simply Let the candidates go
sbefore the people, this would be
,the best aud simplest way.
The town election should not be
made political issue, it should
he made strictly business affair
and our business, tax payers and
:all who have at heart the interest
'and progress of the town should
look at it in this light.
A town Council composed of
business people is of great impor-
'tance, the revenues Of thetown are
large, and they should be judici-
sously expended for the improve
'ment of the town and for the good
of the tax payers instead of allow
ing the town to fall in one politi-
.cal faction or the other, who will
make it business to distribute
fat jobs to political pets, instead
of running the towns affairs in a
business manner and economical
;ly.
We are sure If few Of our bust
mess people who are not politicians
wonld come together aud discuss
this matter in business manner,
that our politicians of both fac
tions will keep hands off, they
would not make any fight against
the commercial interest of the
town. but il one political faction
puts out ticket, We may be sure
to see a hard fight aud serious
struggle for political supremacy.
1t is now for the business peo-
pie of the town to take control of
the towns affairs, or allow them
to be made bone of contention
'bettfen the political factions. Our
politicians are we'll disposed on
this, patter, and they are as anxi-
Gus as I'VE are to see the affairs of
the town in the control of our
business people, and if it does not
go that way the fault will simply
be with our people, who will fail
to take the proper interest 10 the
improvement and development of
the town.

That Home Industry.

We very often have occasion to
discuss the important matter of
patronizing home industries, and
to plead with our people the idea
of helping our own town, to pa
tronize our home people in prefer
ence to others, but it seems that
the people of st. Martinville make
it a pleasure to do just the re-
verse, instead of building up our
business and trade, we seem to be
dispose totear down and destroy
our very commercial life, and for
what reason? We can see none
except petty jealousy or unjust RI
valry in business, which is very
detrimental to the prosperity of
the town.
We have right here wholesale
Grocery keeping good stock of
goods, which is doing a fine bust
ness, and yet we can note every
week cart loads of goods coming
from New Iberia; for what reason,
simply because some people prefer
to patronize outsiders instead of
helping their own people to great
er prosperity, thereby helping the
building up of their own towns
business.
This principle is wrong and
should not exist, there is no reason
for it, when we need anything in
any line, at the same prize. we
should make it a duty and pride to
help our own people in preference
to our neighbors and competitors.
We have noted this week cart
load. of pop coming from Lafayette
when we have a pop factory right
in this town, owned and operated
by our own people, should we not
patronize our own growing indus
tries instead of running competi-
ton to them for the benefit of out
side towns? Are we thus display
ing that proper spirit that should
make a town great and prosperous?
We know we are practicing a sys-
tenn which is wrong and ruinous
to the town and to each inhabitant
individually, because every dollar
that is spent elsewhere make the
town that much poorer.
Occasionally we note that cart
loads of lumber are coming from
New Iberia when we have here a
large saw mill with an immense
stock of lumber on its yards, en-
ploying large force of men, is it
not working to shut out these la
borers, when our people buy lum-
Der in New Iberia? Is there any one
who will not admit if we keep this
way we will destroy every industry
in st. Martinville and finally des-
troy our own business.
If we want to build the business
of st. Martinville and make the
town more prosperous we have to
qpit this practice of running down
our'own industries and helping our
neighbors, We have to come down
to business and stick to our own
people and their home industries,
we have TO realize that the money
spent here remains here and return
to our people, and every dollar
sent elsewhere for what can be
had at home is 80 much money ia
ken away from the daily channel
of business and make us that much
poorer, and that is what we have
been doing for too long a time.
We should stop that and make it
a business in the future to assist
