disposition to attack, but the general
purpose in the Senate is quietly to re-
sist rather than to attack the Presi-
dent the resistance being applied TO
everything which seems to be an en-
croachment upon Senatorial rights.
Senators deprecate the tendency TO
cry out Enemy" to everyone who
happens to hold an opinion on any
subject which does not accord with
the opinion of the President, or who,
agreeing with the President as TO the
desirabiity of a reform, questions the
right of the President or of Congress
to ignore constitutional restrictions in
its accomplishment. They regard it as
an unworthy commentary on puDllc
sentiment and a reflection upon the
President that they should be charged
with hostility to the administration II
they refuse to sanction that encroach-
ment of the Executive upon the legis-
lative authority, which Washington, in
his farewell address. said, Tends TO
consolidate the powers of all the de-
partmentS in one, and thus to create,
whatever the form of government, a
real deSpOtiSm.
1t is felt by earnest men in Congress
that it would be belittling both to the
President and to Congress to regard as
a matter of personal hostility differ
ence OF opinion as to 1undamenLal
principles Of government.
The matter may approach point
of personal feeling when a man is
employed at large Federal salary
without the sanction of legislation, as
a press agent to discredit every opin-
ion contrary to that held by the Pan
anna Canal Commission, or when a
Senator or member OF the House is
in danger of being suspected Of being
employed by the railroads if he de-
parts in any way from the views of
the President on the rate question,
though his purpose may be only TO
keep within the Constitution. The
whole broad question, however, rists
above any particular measure or per-
sonal friendliness or hostility toward
President Roosevelt. It is above per-
sonalities and above party. j. P. M.
