WELDING Too Much Power.
Washington, March 9S---Ai6re shafts
OF sancaSm and invective were aimed
at President Roosevelt In the house
OF Representatives Thursday. In one
OF the most scathing arrAimmente Of
a public oflcer ever heard In that
chamber. Mr.. Beail, Of Texas, charged
the president With having been guilty
OF a Disgusting usurpation Of power /,
not only toward Inc national lesisla-
ture, but the judiciary rs we'll. Con.
gress had, he said. abdicated to him
liz power, and the Judiciary Of the
country felt the effect Of MS inhu-
enee. God and the future alone
know, ne declared, just what niche ne
was 30 occupy in the temple OF his
country.
Mr.. Beall credited the president
with having appointed three Judges
OF the supreme court of the United
States and q majority OF the United
States circuit and district judges.
Drawing their source. Of authority
from him." he declared, and holding
their commissions from HIM. he stands
in position to wield q powerful in
Guence upon them, though they are
the representatives Of distinct de.
lpartment of the government"
The president, he charged. was not
content with the exercise Of the same
power exercised by Washington, JET.
fsrson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant and
Mckinley, but in his ov 1werlng
ambition reaches out with eA er hand
and exercises powers not dreamed OF
by them.

CANOEING Great Sport.

The canoeist Is the most independ

Ing Is popular because it brings Its
devotees out into the open freedom and

will The canoe does for humanity
what the bicycle failed to do. The BIZ
cyclist was tied to roads, was depend
ent upon hotels and restaurants for
food and lodging. When the hill was
steep he must alight and walk. When
the road was bad or the foot of the
hill dubious, he must do likewise.
The canoeist suffers none Of these re-
strictions, he carries with him his
place Of abode, his bed, his food and
the means Of preparing 1t. He Is not
confined to well-worn highways, he Is
able to penetrate and explore out OF
the way streams and pitch his tent In
spots inaccessible to the average wan
derer The ability Of canoes to carry
their owners into places where even q
