SENATE SECRETS.


President Roosevelt is Charged With
Usurpaseom ~ Power.
Washington Special to New Orleans
,Picayune.
Secrets Of Tuesdays executive ses-
sion of the Senate which have leaked
out make II appear that President
Roosevelt was sharply criticized for
continuing Postmaster Northrup, OF
year after his nomination had been re-
1ected, and steps have been taken to-
ward Investigating the legality of
the Presidents course. The incident
has afforded his critics an opportunity
to present q stronger indictment for
nsurpation of patronage power than
has yet bean produced. 1t Is regard
ey by the Senatorial critics of White
House policies as worse than the Ohio
cases, In which postmasters were APP
the facts were explained the Senate
unanimously rejected them.
William H Northrup was appointed
Postmaster at Pensacola, the most inn
portant once In Florida, on February
is, 1908. He was confirmed and receive
ed four years commission. About q
year ago he was nominated to succeed
himself. despite strong opposition and
conduct Of the Office. Senator NAL
lory, who died q few weeks ago, took
the case before the Senate, and North-
up was rejected. Instead OF making
- new dppOlntkucub tne PRESIDENT con-
tinued Northup in the ONCE under the
old appointment. Under the Depart
ment rules. g postmaster continues In
ONCE until his successor is appointed,
confirmed and qualified. II Is now con-
tended that while Northup has been re-
nominated by the President and re-
iected, he can still serve indefinitely
uader this rule IL applied to the old
appointment.
Il is COMMANDED at the department
that II Northup had been o new man,
appointed q year ago to- succeed some
body else. and had been rejected, he
would have been forced out OF ONCE.
But being once In the otfice. no mat:
despite his rejection by the Senate, he
cannot be forced out even after the ex-
piratton OF his commission, II the
President declines to name a success
soF. In this case Northup has served
almost . year after being rejected and
after the expiration of his commission.
The Florida Senators waited long
time without making protest, sup
be made in due time. But as the SEES
sion OF Congress is now almost two
months old and they could discover no
evidence OF intention to make q new
appointment, Senator Tafiaterro took
the case before the Senate in yester-
days executive session. Much effort
was made to keep the discussion So
cret, and not until today did anything
about Il leak out.
According to reports, the attitude of
the Administration in this case was
most severely censured by Senators on
both sides. The case was pronounced
q most effective demonstration of the
charges of late freely made by both
Republican and Democratic Senators
that the patronage power is being used
for Taft. So vigorous was the Senate's
disagreement with the Administration
attitude in retaining Northup that

Adverse to Corners Policy.


Mobile Register.
Two decisions adverse to Governor
Corners policy were delivered Monday
One was by the Federal Judge in kan
stttutional the Missouri statute OF 1907
forbidding foreign corporations to
transfer suits brought abainst them
from State courts to Federal courts
charters. It will be recalled that the
Alabama Legislature last spring passed
a statute to the same effect, at the in
stance of Governor Conner and the
charter OF an offending railroad was
subsequently declared forfeited. Upon
the railroad making terms with the
Governor on the rate question, the
charter was restored. although some
ity the railroad was thus rechartered
to do business in this State. Now
comes q Federal judge and sayssalI
that sort of legislation is upconStitu-
tional and void. He Is only Federal
Judge, of course, but there exists more
than a suspicion that the United States
Supreme Court would take this view ct
it. IL appeal should be made.
The second decision Is on a case pre-
cisely the same as that now pending in
the Federal court in Montgomery, but
has the advantage OF being pronounced
by a State court--not that a State
court will do better piece of work
than a Federal court. but 1t will have
more respect in certain quarters.

pices of the American Forestry Asso-

itself to the utmost to persuade the
public and the State and Federal gov
ernments to save the forests and thus
preserve our national prosperity. De-
spite the serious situation, public au-
thorities are slow to act, as they often
are even in matters of the greatest
need. This is largely because the
general public fails to realize the need.
The Forestry Association therefore
urges all who do. to take a hand in
this work.
