commanders of battleShips. The pres
ident knows that great deal of fric-
tion has been caused by the presence
of marines aboard ship, not only be-
tween the officers of the navy and the
officers of the marines, but between
the enlisted men of the navy and of the
marine corps Possibly the reasons for
the osecr will be brought out in the
debates in congress and congress may
decide that the order was justifiable, or
at least that it would not be wise to
rescind an order OF the president in
legislation.
Congress has refused to accept the
presidents recommendations and has
passed the census bill, with a provision
for the appointment of clerks after
non competitive examination and by
the direcFo. Of the census. This Will
mean that5.he old method of making
appointments will apply. unless Pres
ident Roosevelt should veto the census
bill and congress recede from it's posi-
tion.
That such a veto IS contemplated
there is no question. This VIII make
q definite and square issue between the
president and congress, unless congress
should sidestep the subject by letting
the census bill go over until the spe-
cial session of congress, when Roose-
welt will no longer be president. 1t Is
possible that an attempt will be made
to pass the bill over the veto, in which
event there will be q test of the power
of President Roosevelt with the present
congress.
