PRESENT TENDENCIES IN OUR GOVERNMENT
6enjamIn ylor Science Club
Last Evening.

the several branches of government
and to speculate on the present ten
denotes. At times during our history
the president and the congress, the
executive and the legislative branches,
have contended for supremacy and with
varying results. At times the congress
seemed to have the upper hand and
in power and influence, to quite over
shadow the president. At other times
the reverse has been true. In attempt
ing to analyze the situation and to
discern a present tendency, peculiar
situations and circumstances should be
eliminated so far as possible and the
general trend taken into account. With
this in mind it seems to me that the
tendency is for the power and pres
tige of the president to increase while
that of congress is to diminish. AS
time goes on there seems to be a
tendency for the people to center their
hopes and expectations on the presi-
dent, to look to him to express their
will, to voice their sentiments, to
suggest and urge to successful culmi-
nation, legislation in their interests.
He comes in the nearest to the whole
people and is most responsive to their
will. Being responsive to their will
there seems to be no fear of him and
his waxing strength. Consider for a
moment the great power and influence
in the hands of the president by rea-
son of the appointive power.
Each succeeding year seems to add
new power and influence to the presi-
dent and vet there is scarcely a muir
muir in dissent, unless it be on the
part of congress which indeed does try
to curtail that growing influence in
many ways, but the difficulty is that
such efforts do not strike any respon-
sive chord in the people.
This fact is somewhat explained per-
haps by another tendency which L
think is quite marked in recent years
and that is tendency to return men
to congress who are representatives of
some particular interest and not be-
cause of their general learning and abil-
ity as statesmen. The oldtime states
men are fast disappearing. They are
supplanted by the business man. There
is a feeling, whether right or wrong,
that the congress is made up of men
who are there primarily to foster leg
islation friendly to, or to oppose leg
islation hostile to their particular in
terest or the interest of their parti-
cular community.
H. j. Ford says in his "Rise and
Growth of American Politics.: GAS the
nation develops and the people in
crease their qualifications for self gov
eminent. it will be seen that they will
lay hold of the presidency as the only
organ sufficient for the exercise of
their sovereignty" This also results
from the tendency remarked by James
Bryce in his American Commonwealth
where he says: "The tendency every
where in America to concentrate power
and responsibility in one man is UNI
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1909-10-15

This same tendency is exemplifed in
the desire for the commission form OF
government for cities. 1t is a desire
to repose power in the hands of few
who can be held responsible for their
acts and who in turn are directly
responsible to the entire body of cleo
tors.
If then / were to summarize what 1
believe to be the most conspicuous ten
denotes in our government today, I
would say first, the tendency of the
national government, with the sane
ton and approval of the majority of
thinking people, to assume a greatly
extended field of action, to assume
jurisdiction of many matters hereto
fore untouched but properly within it's
jurisdiction such as control of rail-
roads, and all avenues of interstate
commerce, forestry, reclamation of
arid lands and the like, and also a
tendency, not vet consummated, to as
sumo jurisdiction and control of other
matters not as vet properly or legally
within its jurisdiction but which from
the nature of the case are not salts
factorily handed by the divers state
Jurisdictions such as marriage and d.
vorce, child labor, negotiable instru-
ment laws, hours of labor and regula-
lions of interstate corporations. In
short, recent years have shown a
marked tendency toward centraliza-
ton and concentration, toward the de-
velopment of a stronger nationality !;
and second, within the federal gov
eminent itself. The power and in
fuence of the president and the exec
utive branch tends to be greatly aug
mented at the expense of the legisla-
tive
If we are deviating somewhat from
the customs and ideas of the past, it
does not imply that our forefathers
were lacking in sagacity for such is
not the case. I have no sympathy
with that wholesale criticism and con-
demnation of the past which unfor-
tnnately seems to have animated re-
Gently from some of our leading in

on the accuracy of recent magazine
article, Professor Barrett Wendell of Har-
ward says, "The Revolution was fought to
uphold a delusion, and the rank and
file of the Colonial army went down
in rags to oblivion to maintain the
fallacy that all men are created eaual.'
He maintains that the Declaration of
Independence it "a piece of spectacular
rhetoric" which should be placed upon
the same shelf with the envenomed
party platforms of today, and that it
can not be accepted as statement of
practical rights.
A study of our early history should
lead us to pay honor to the wisdom
and sagacity of our forefathers and
to revere the principles upon which
our government was founded But it
should also emphasize the fact that
those early forefathers adopted that
form of government which to them.
under the circumstances and with such
foresight as was given them to exer-
else, seemed best and wisest. We
would be doing less for our genera
ton and for the future if we failed to
imbibe their spirit and now adopt such
measures and pursue such policies as
are best suited to this time and cir
cumstance, looking also to the future
with such degree of prophetic vision
as may be given us.

expecting to reach home before night.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of the late Z. 7. WEIGH were
held at St. Johns Catholic church at
nine o'clock this forenoon, and were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Father
Hughes. The music was furnished by
the church choir, and was touching, and
the services were very impressive. The
church was filled with friends and
neighbors of the deceased, and the floral
offerings were numerous and beautiful.
The remains were taken to Calvary
cemetery for interment, followed by a
long line of carriages, including twelve
hacks that were engaged by the bridge
carpenters of the Omaha road. The
pallbearers were selected from among
the bridge carpenters.

OWNERS OBJECT TO- -.
ASSESSMENT FOR THE GRADING

The board of public works had a
hearing this forenoon on the assess
ment for the grading of the Pleasant
street extension across the slough. The
amount assessed was $2.250, and the
board assessed it clear back to the
cement works, and as far in other di-
rections as it dared to 60, and a very
little on this side of the slough, as
well as against the frontage in the
slough.
About eight property owners were
present to raise objections, and others
sent written objections or notice that
they wished to be heard later through
attorneys. Two main obpiections were
raised, one being that the city ought
to stand a share of the expense, and
the other being that the assessment
had not been equitably made and that
some property had escaped entirely
The board of public works stated in
answer to the first objection that
the city had already paid $500 on the
work, that was not assessed, and that
it would have to stand the ten per
cent discount for cash. or over 5000
more. As to the second objection, it
stated that it had done the best that
it could, but if mistakes had been
made it would correct them and pos
sibly make an entirely new assess
ment.
Some of the speakers said that the
improvement had been asked for by
w. L. HXon so that the street car
line could be extended across the slough
but that this had not been done. Mr..
Hixon was one of those Directing to

the assessment on his property for
the improvement
Two speakers claimed that the grad
ing did not improve the road because
the grade of the hills had not reduced
but others thought that an improve
ment had been made, and that more
would be done later The sidewalk
will be built next spring, after the
filed ground has had an opportunity
to settle, and the cost of this will be
assessed against the property in front
of which the walk is constructed.
One party claimed that the assess
ment was greater than the lots that
he represented were worth, and offered
to sell them for the accumulated taxes
and assessments, which amounted to
some $1,000. He said that he had
been instructed to sell the property
for the what had been paid on it in
taxes and assessments, and had been
unable to do SO. Another present said
that the lots referred to would not
commend themselves to buyers, from
their appearance. One look would
be enough.
1t was stated that the hill on the
south side has been tiled, and the wa
ter taken care of. Springs have here-
tofore made the hill bad one.
The board decided to adjourn the
hearing until next Tuesday at l:3O
p. m, when the opinion of the city
attorney on points submitted to him
will have been received, and the mat
ter of the city paying larger proper
ton of the cost can be brought up at
Friday nights council meeting and
disposed of.
