DENOUNCES DOCTRINE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 81 - Senator
Rayner's address on the expansion of
executive prerogatives, Senator Lodges
brief reply and an extended discussion
OF the administration Of public land
laws by Senator Hepburn. constituted
fo-day's proceedings in the Senate.
DisClaiming any intention of "assail-
ing" President Roosevelt and profess
ing for him profound personal esteem,
Senator Ravner gave a critical review
OF what he termed the Presidents
usurpatiOn Of governmental functions
not conferred on him by the constitu-
ton.
Rayner first referred to the recent
speech Of Secretary Root in which was
desert bed the gradual enlargement of
federal power at the expense OF the
States. i regard this doctrine" said
Rayner, "as a most dangerous and in
sidious attack on the Institutions of
the country. He said that because
these doctrines must be taken as they
were intended to be taken, as mani
Testing the purpose of the administra-
tiOn 20 carry this new doctrine of con-
stitutional construction into execu-
tion whenever the opportunity or emer-
gency may arise for its exercise
TEMPERs HIS CRITICISM
Before reviewing the specific actions
or the President which met his criti-
cism, Rayner remarked: The Presi-
dent is laboring under the honest inn
preston that he is respoDsible TO the
country for the legislation Of Con-
gress
Rayner pronounced his disapproval
of the President for his intrusion"
upon the States. taking for example
the note Of the President to Governor
Guild OF Massachusetts, in which the
course Of the Governor was commended
in refusing TO interfere with the carry
ing out Of the death sentence against
Charles L. Tucker. y never knew a COM
munica ton Of this sort to be sent by a
president to the governor Of a State since
the foundation OF the republic. said
Eayner and 1 deeply regret and de-
piore the occurrence 1t would have
been extremely good taste for Gov
ernor Guild TO have respectfully re-
mitted this telegram TO the President
with a caution that he did not request
the Presidents opinion in the case nor
the sanction Of his high station to the
carrying out Of the execution.
LIkENS HIM TO A GAR
The most wonderful exhibition of
the Presidents power in Congress" !"
Rayner believed TO have been at the
time of legislating for the sea level
canal. After describing this fight. Ray
ner remar rked:
1t shows how the dominating spirit
OF the President can ride the whirlwind
when he has made up his mind TO legis-
late. and how in absolute defiance of
the laws of nature he can produce a
senatorial vacuum beneath the sweep
Of his mighty genius"
In concluding Rayner said:
Il believe that if the Democratic
party would take up as its battle cry
the reserved. rights Of the States and
the inviOlate constitutional distinction
Of the legislative, the judicial and the
executive departments. we could
rally around the doctrine the intelli-
gent sumrages Of our coUntrymen."

Has Become of the East, Though He

Col, one of the rangers who went

now deputy United States marshal in

when the president appointed me

as though had just stepped out OF the
plains with a sombrero hat, cowboy

to shoot up the town. | was followed

"Out there in the west in the days
when a man had to travel hundreds or
miles on a stage coach in order to get
anywhere, we had some adventures
now and then. For instance, one day
in 1878, when | was sheriff of Dodge
City and my brother was marshal, he
saw on the street two obstreperous
cowboys who threatened to do harm
to innocent bystanders, and started to
take their guns away from them. lie

away. Before either Of the cowboys
could fire | had shot them both dead.
Only a matter Of 20 seconds had
elapsed since the fracas began, and
there lay the three dead bodies in the
middle of the street
Marshal Masterson modestly de-
clined to go further into the history of
his shooting scrapes. There was
quite a lot Of shooting going on then,
he said but it was mostly confined to
the obstreperous individuals, who set
tied their difficulties in that way. If
one OF them attacked a man who had
always been peaceful and industrious
and refrained from quarreling through
no lack of moral courage, the bully
who wanted to fight was attacked in
turn, and told that if he could not find
his own kind to fight with he had bet
ter leave town. A man was recognized
for his true worth, everybody was out
spoken, and hypocrisy was not toll
