The President and His Powers.

Stock tests for years have been the re-
niles of the more poorly informed foreign
born men 10 the legal inquiries when
presenting themselves for their naturali-
cation papers. The President. in their
eyes, runs the country. He makes the
laws, and executes them. He appoints
officials, and then controls them abso-
lutely, judges included. Nothing can be
done without him, but anything with
him. He is master, and all must obey
him.
American officials in Porto Rico, Ha-
uaii, and the Philippines found this same
idea widely prevalent in those countries.
First it was MIR. Mckinley who repre-
scented the sum of things, and then Mr..
Roosevelt. 1t was the President who
could bring about freer trade with the
United States, or confer American citizen
ship on the natives. If he so desired he
could make everybodys lot happy and
prosperous.
The joke, in some measure, is now on
us. Recent events have shown that there
is confusion of ideas in American cir
cles on this very important point
In the matter of the sentence Of Com
pers and Mitchell and Morrison some of
the comment has been 1udicrous in its
ignorance of, or Indifference to, the law
and the common sense of the situation.
Many OF those condemning the courts
decision turned at once TO the President
in the equivalent of these words: Call
that judge down. Show him his place.
Pardon these men. The outrage perpe-
trated demands your immediate action"
No account was taken of the fact that
the convicted men had themselves recog-
nzed the courts proceeding by giving
formal notice of an appeal and giving the
necessary bonds for their future appear
ance. They did not turn to the Presi-
dent. Their lawyers knew what to do
and where to go. The cases were still in
court for final disposition. If. Judge
Wright had erred it was for higher
court to say. II the convicted were TO
ne freed, judicial processes were to be
exhausted before the executive was
thought of.
But before this, as strange a view was
proclaimed about the President and Con-
gress. Men of weight in national affairs
publicly advised Judge Taft to take the
organization Of the next House into his
own hands. He was told that the country
looked to him for the redemption of the
promises OF the Chicago platform in lesis-
iation. The tariff particularly was in his
hands, and he must see that no Sinking
was INDUCED in. Congress? Why. what
was Congress but body for executing
the Presidents will?
How much this must have amused
Judge Taft may be inferred from the
character and training of the man. He
knows not only the ONCE to which he is
soon to succeed, but the coordinate
branch of the government with which he
is to cooperate in the matter of making
laws. He has no more right to organize
the next House than It has to organize
his cabinet. But there are men who
would have him pick candidate for
Speaker, and then instruct that candidate
in his course when elected. In word
they would have the President absorb all
the functions of government, and exercise
them-while agreeing with them about
what should be done. But no longer.

Co-operation in Conservation.

From the Phliadeipiiia LeuSer.
President Roosevelt's administration
will he remembered not alone for the
asperities which it has aroused, but foi
several acts of far-seeing craftsmanship
with which his name has been associated
Not the least important of these has
been his effort to promote the movement
for the conservation of the national re-
sources This effort has not been con-
fined to platitudnous commentator, bu,
has consisted Of hearty and consistent
support of the government officials who
have devoted themselves to 1t, and to
constructive work of very great lmpor'
lance. Although the whole movement is
still too embryonic to make 1t possible tt
appraise the real value of Mr.. Roose
yelt's contribution, he is unquestionabl3
entitled to all the credit for bringing tt
bear upon it the enormous executive
power which he yields, and the historian
of the future will not overlook the fact
that it was at his official call that the
conferences were held that for the frs
time gave a really national turn to the
conservation movement.

IT'S not the same old father
Who seemed so blythe and gay
Impersonating Santa Claus
So we'll on Christmas day.
The merry little twinkle
No longer lights his eye.
The children must keep quiet now,
At least they're told to try.
The drum is smashed completely;
The trumpet's bent and smashed;
The dolly with a broken nose
Is sighted and abashed:
The family Is discussing
Strange gifts that merely veX
Their minds, and poor old father, he
Is busy signing checks.
