BOYS PLAY

This quibbling and spatting back
and forth upon the part of the Pres
ident Of the United States and his
house of representatives is one of the
most disgusting things which has
occurred in many years. Here we
have the spectacle of man who has
been raised to the highest office with
in the gift of the people and bunch
of men who have been honored by
the people of their districts, fussing
and spatting back and forth like a
pair OF kittens.
The president may be said to be
to blame for the trouble. 1t was
he who started the trouble by saying
some things in his message when
had better been left unsaid. He said
things which have no relation to III,
welfare OF the country and in no way
could they be taken to direct congress
in the moves which Il shall make.
The president must have concluded
that il would be impossible for him
to get enacted the things which he
desired and he was determined TO
have the satisfaction of telling con-
gress what he thought Of it and OF
telling it in such a way that a great
many people would read it. He took
advantage of the opportunity which
presented itself and said those things
which have aggravated the house and
stirred up degree of hostility which
will not subside so long as congress
Is in session.
Upon the other hand, the house
has taken exceptions to much thai
was contained in the message. The
members have apparently seen only
those things which they should have
overlooked and have overlooked
those things which they should have
seen. The result is that instead OF
congress meeting to take such action
as will be of benefit TO the country
and it's people, with the directing
hand of the president at all times to
guide it, congress has assembled to
be aggravated by the president and
to do all in its power to aggravate
him. So long as this spirit pre-
walls in the halls Of congress and in
the White House, there is little hope
OF much being accomplished. 1t is
bad enough when men in the ordinary
walks OF life have misunderstand-
ings and chickering's, but when it
comes TO men who have been given
the responsible positions which these
men hold, 1t becomes very much
worse. With individuals, only indi-
vldual interests are at stake, but with
public men, the interests of the whole
public are made to suffer.
