DISPUTES WITH CONGRESS.
Challenge Recalls Some
other Instances of Defiance.

From the New YORK WUld
Every Congressman remembers Mr.
Roosevelts omin0us threats TO veto the
rate bill II his wishes were ignored. The
Senate amended the bin TO suit itself:
the President promptly signed It, and con-
graduated the country on the admirable
measure that had been enacted at his in
stance He hayed Representative WaGs-
worth for venturing 10 tamper with the
official meat inspection bin, and ended
by accepting all the committees amend
ments. He has had half a dozen disputes
with Congress which were gravely her
aided as threatening the severance of re-
lations between the White House and the
Capitol. These relations have gone on
now for FIVE years without serious inter
ference. Mr.. Roosevelt IS always the iT
resistible force which would annihilate
the immovable body if it could spare the
time.
IN this case his wrath seems directed,
not against Congress. but against Sena-
tor Foraker Yet even Foraker may be
right occasionally, though as the Scotch
man said. with a knayish intent" In
any case, what could be more ridiculous
than for the President OF the United
States to challenge Congress TO impeach
him for disobeying a law which exits as
yet only in hts heated imagination?
