Senator Rayner Critieizes Man
ner in Which President Has
Extended Prcrogatives.
DANGEROUS AND lNsIDIoUs'
Roots View OF Enlargement OF
Federal Power at Expense Of
States Menac to Institutions. +

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 81
Senator Rayncr's address on the expan-
sion of executive prerogatives. Senator
Lodges brief reply. and an extended dis
cussion of the administration of the pub
lie land laws by Senator Hepburn con
sttuted to-day's proceedings in the SEN
ate. i"
Disclaiming any intention of "assail-
ing" President Roosevelt, and processing
for him profound personal esteem. SEN
ntor Rayrer addressed the Senate at con-
siderable length in critical review of what
he termed the Presidents usurpation OF
governmental functions not conferred or
him by the Constitution.
He first alluded to the recent speech
of Secretary Root, in which was described
the gradual enlargement OF Federal power
at the expense of the States.
~ regard this doctrine said Mr.. Ray
ner, thus announced adhered to and
emphasized as most dangerous and
insidious attack on the institutions of the
country" He said that because these
doctrines We're being constantly illustrated
I'm the administration of the government
they must be taken, as they were in
tended to be taken as manifesting the
purpose of the present administration TO
carry this new doctrine of constitutional
construction into execution whenever the
opportunity or emergency may arise for
it's exercise. The President is laboring
under the honest impression that he is
responsible to the country for the legis-
lation of Congress-
The Schley case was reviewed by Mr..
Rayner. He predicted that the Schley
case would yet be reopened Just as n
similar case had recently been in an
other land admiral Schiey shall be
heard. he announced. Living or dead,
his cause shall be heard. have never
known an injustice OF this sort to have
been done that the occasion did not arise
to redress it."
Senator Lodge replied briefly to Mr..
Rayner, making especial reference to
the Maryland Senator's allusion to him
self as the possible biographer of the
President, and saying he had no doubt
that Mr. Rayner and his associates
would be pleased to meet the Presi-
dents biograprer. Mr.. Lodge declared
that nothing the President had ever
said had gone so far towards advo-
eating a revolution of our present gov
ernmental system as had MIR. Bryan's
declaration for the government own
ership of railroads.
In reply to Mr.. Lodge. Senator Car
mack said that while Mr.. Bryan had ex-
pressed the opinion that If government
regulation should fail government owner
ship ought to come, the President had
said that if government regulation should
fail government ownership would have to
come Hence he concluded that there was
no substantial difference b-twecn the
President and Mr.. Bryan on the subject
of government ownership.

From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON u. c., January 81
Senator Foraker might have won a Vie
tory over the President in the Joint de
bate OF the two at the dinner OF the
Gridiron Club last Saturday night. but
the last move was the Presidents. i
Is understood that Mr.. Roosevelt. IN
order to show that he Is II sincere
friend OF the negro. has offered to Ralph
Tyler, negro, the position OF surveyor
Of the port of Cincinnati.
1t is understood. furthermore. that the
offer of tho position. or the decision 10
offer 1t, was made after consultation
with Booker T. Washington. and that
neither OF the Ohio Senators was con-
suited.
1t Is understood that neither Senator
Foraker nor Senator Dick will oppose
the confirmation of the negro, who. by
the way. is not citizen OF Cincinnati,
but resides in Columbus. 1t is evidently
the intention of the Senators to put up
to the President the duty OF meeting the
denunciations OF the Ohio people. which
will follow the appointment of a darkey
to such an important position.

KEEP BRIDGE OPEN
DURING THE CHANGES.
County Engineer
Working To
That End.
DURING MARCH.

County Engineer Morgan F. Lar
son said this morning that the new
bridge may be kept open during the
spring and summer, although the
work of putting in the three steel
spans will be in progress.
Engineer Larson has plan under
way that, If perfected, will allow one
automobile or one wagon to cross the
part of the bridge where the work is
being carried on. Pedestrians will
also be able TO use the bridge under
this arrangement. Providing this
plan is not put into use, Engineer
Larson says the bridge will not be
closed for six months, as is the opin-
ion of many.
Mr.. Larson has conferred with
Contractors Snare & Triests on the
subject and all the preliminary work
Will be completed before the present
piling is interfered with. Engineer
Larson also says that provision
could have been made in the contract
to keep the bridge open, but the
price for the work would have been
increased. AS yet it is not known
just when the contractors will start
work, but, providing the weather is
favorable, it is thought that it will
be started some time in March.
