Offer of Place as Secretary of Treas

New York, Dec. 17.-Following an
extended conference of Ohio republi-
can leaders at the home of Henry w.
Taft, it was stated last night that the
offer of cabinet position 20 Represen-
had been withdrawn and would not be
renewed. 1t is generally understood
that the portfolio of secretary Of the
treasury had been definitely offered to
Representative Burton The with
drawal of the offer. to, him would indi-
cate, it was reported in republican
circles that Representative Burton
will now mike an active contest in
the senatorial campaign, in which
Charles p. Taft is one of the most con
spicuous figures.

tion is necessary is immaterial.
eff law is passed which requires
the presidents concurrence he can
sign or veto it-that is his constitu-
tional right. If, upon receiving his
veto, the house and senate approves
of a measure by two-thirds vote, the
misunderstanding to the constitu-
tion-becomes law in spite of the
president. In so far as the senate and
house can constitutionally act without
the presidents concurrence they are at
him or in spite of anything he says. In
so far as either house has the right to
investigate, it can do so whether he
approves or not. An investigation is
the best method of bringing out the
facts, and If there has been misrepre-
sentation the president ought to urge
an Investigation rather than oppose it.

ment can institute libel proceedings
against an individual or paper for crit-
icism of the governments action is not
only new doctrine but an extremely
objectionable one. If any individual
has been libeled he has action at law.
If the individual concerned does not
see fit to prosecute his remedy. the
government cannot become his cham
lpion.

1t seemed a long time before he hit

Fact is Wright was moving so fast
