then known as New Spain, against the
mother country. This war began in
1921, and lasted seven months, ending
in the success of the colonies, the
leader of the army, Iturbide, becoming
emperor. This state of affairs was
concluded in about a year by the alb
dication of the emperor, who sailed for
Europe, in which country he made
his home for some time.
Hearing that his native land was to
be made the object of attack by the
European powers, he returned to Mex
leo only to find that the republic which
had existed during his absence had
made a law that his life should be for
feited should he again set foot on
Mexican soil.
This was in 1924. The family of the
emperor came to this country, settling
in Washington and Philadelphia.

Prince Iturbide was prominent for
many years. Suffering recently from
severe illness, he has of late spent
many months in the hospital. Prince
Iturbide now asserts that he has re-
~nounced all political ambition, and
that he will never make any attempt
to regain his claims in Mexico.

THE entire diplomatic corps is
1 chuckling over the way Ambassa-
dor Bryce, of Great Britain, unwilling
ly interfered the other afternoon with
a specially called session of the ten
mis- cabinet, to the discontinue of
President Roosevelt and his fellow
ambassador, M. ~Jusserand, of France.
The president had summoned the
racquet wielders for 4:30 p. m on the
White House courts. JuSserand and
Assistant Atty.-Gen. Cooley responded
promptly.
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
was the only member who failed to
answer the call. He had just started
from his office at 4:26 for the scene
when Ambassador Bryce appeared at
the state department. He had come
to discuss one of the pending treaties.
Secretary Root at once sent for his
assistant and caught him just as he

is said, is far less apt to look with
lehiency on absence from the tennis
cabinet than he is on failure to ap-
pear at the regular councils in the
cabinet room. He wished to know
why. 1t was explained that Mr.. Bryce
had come to take up an important
matter, and that Mr.. Bacon's presence
at the department was necessary.
Under the circumstances he had to
let Bacon off. A hurry call was sent
for Secretary Garfield to make up the
set. He could not be found for some
time, SO until he reported a three
handed game was played, Jusserand
and Cooley easily making the presi-
dent their victim.
When Bryce was informed of the
matter he expressed deep regret, say
ing that his interference with the
game was entirely unintentiOnal and
had he suspected such an unhappy
outcome of his visit he would have
delayed the diplomatic interests Of
his country for a few hours. He laugh
voiced the hope that there
would be no serious ENHANCEMENT be-
tween Great Britain and France or
account of the episode.

Capitalization.

Perhaps the dominant issue in the
coming campaign will be the centrali-
zatiOn Of political power in this coun-
try, emphasized by the dispute be-
tween the president and congress over
the absolutism claimed by the presi'
dent orer the military and naval
forces. The supremacy Of the mill
tary over the civil power would mean
in itself the establishment of a cen.
trail despotism. The letters Of the
president to Senators Smith, Stewart.
Rayner and Taliaferro, in all of which
he makes the astounding claim that
he is supreme over the army, and is
thereby rendered independent of acts
of congress relating to military af-
fairs, will play a great part in the
campaign.
If Gov. Johnson should be the Demo-
cratic candidate, and Taft, Roosevelt,
or any other advocate of Roosevelt's
politics Cor policies), tho Republican
candidate, the issue would be square
ly drawn, and the people would have
the opportunity to decide. once for all,
whether the constitution is obsOles-
cen or is still possessed of its old
time vitality.
Our people do not often recur to
first principles in these days. Too

ment for a sum of money from the
federal treasury. One of the leading
newspapers of the country makes note
of this disposition among the gov.
errors of states recently assembled

ganda Of Capitalization does not have
its heart IN Washington. 1t is in the
people themselves, who are demand
ing this or that reform and are fail,
ing to get it from their states. A
state gladly surrenders it's authority
over lands, DR. streams, or water pow
er, or other property, for the sake OF
getting an appropriation from con-
gress for a public improvement. The
eagerness with which California &C.
cepts federal aid in dealing with the
bubonic plague situation illustrates
how easily material benefit overrides
abstract ideas of states rights. The
readiness of such a stalwart states
rights man as Gov. Glenn of North
Carolina to permit the government to
take charge of the Appalachian forest
in his own and other states, is another
example of the demoralizing effect OF
conditions upon theories"

THE STORY.

r. HE king had seen people die be
J. fore, but had he beheld such
a deathbed as that. He had stood by
the couch of his father, Jehoahaz, as
he had passed from this life to the
great beyond. He had seen that help
less, haunted look in the deep-set eyes
over which the misty film of death
was gradually creeping. He had
heard the words of regret over the
life lived and those of fear in the face
of impending death. There was moth
ing of hope or comfort there. Only
darkness and despair.
But how different was the deathbed
of the prophet Elisha. Word had
come one day all unexpected and sud-
den that the aged prophet vas sick,
and the king had gone thither. Little
contact had he had with the prophet
during his lie. He had treated him
with indifference and disdain, con-
tent to live his life Of wicked pleas
ure, and unmindful Of the rebukes and
e~ntreaties of this aged servant of God.
To be sure he was familiar with all
the wonderful history of Elisha's serv-
ices to Israel, of how time and time
again, when famine and war menaced
the life of the nation, the prophet had
%interposed in the name of his God and
brought deliverance. But free from
any serious troubles in his own king
dom and at peace with all the nations
about, King JOash had seen no occa-
sion to bother himself about the
prophet.

IS A DANGEROUS DOCTRINE.
Presidents Action Practically Puts
Military Above Civil Power.

The president of the United States
thority by virtue of Article 2 of the
Constitution of the United States, in
which it provides that he shall be
commanderin-chief of the army and
navy, and of the state militia, when
called into the actual service of the
United States; but that congress shall
have power to make rules for the
regulation Of the land and naval
forces.
Congress has enacted a military
code known as the Articles of War;
and these articles provide that no OIL
Ger shall be punished without a trial
before a court-martial. The Articles
of Wal are just as binding upon the
commander-in-chief of the army as
they are upon subordinate officers.
For any officer to violate any Of them,
is to become subject to trial and pun
ishment. O'Brien says in his work
on courts-martial:
In all that relates TO raising the
army, to its strength, to it's Organiza-
ton, to its criminal code, congress Is
omnipotent, the president powerless.
THE command of the president is,
indeed, absolute within its sphere, but
its sphere is bounded on all sides by
law. The moment the executive over
steps the boundaries prescribed, he
becomes powerless, and his COM
mands are of no force.
"As the executive has no legislative
power, it is plain that the regulations
issued by him to the army are not
law. And, as he is as much bound
by law as any other citizen, it follows
that If any of them conflict with law,
they are SO far null and void"
Mr.. Porter, in his work on the same
subject, says: I'VE have in our mill
tary law no system of disciplinary
punishments."
All the authorities on the subject
are to the same effect. Yet the presi-
dent has punished Col. Stewart Of the
coast artillery without any sort OF
trial, and when complaint was made
by Senator Rayner of Maryland the
president answered that the punish
ment Of Col. Stewart was wholly Incl
dental' to the good of the army, and
was, therefore, justifiable. His posi-
ton is that the end justifies the
means, law or no law. This is q dan
doctrine. He also says:
while a court-martial would undoubt-
edly award some punishment, 1t
would fall far short of what was really
needed" And again he says: There
is no point in having a cOurt-martial.
At present l do not see how a court OF
inquiry could be Of use. . | do
understand your allusion to a joint
resolution by congress. Such meas
ures as those taken in this case are
purely within the scope of the presi-
duties and authority"
Senator Rayner, in a recent speech,
brought out all these points and in
thereon raised the most
important question of law that has
ever confronted congress or the peo-
pie of the United States. rs h
president, as commanderin-chief of
the army governed by law" If he is
not, the republic is at an end. For In
case, the military is placed above
the civil power and the constitution is
annihilated.
