Culbsrson Comes Back at President.

today Culberson made a brief reply to
the message sent to the senate yester-

HARD RAP AT SENATE.

Upper House Feels Swing Of Big Stick.
Washington, Jan. 7.-When President
Roosevelt took his pen in hand again
yesterday he administered to the SEN
ate a short arm jab which was partic-
ularly felt by the democrats in that
au,yHst body. who were openly rebuked
for a fragrant bit of political buncombe
for which the minority leader, Senator
Culberson Of Texas, was personally re-
sponsible.
Incidentally the president read a
needed lesson to the senate itself to
the effect that neither house of con-
grt.ss had even a pretense Of Il right
to inquire into the motives or even the
REASONS for executive action or nom
action on any subject whatsoever.
.rhe whole thing arose over a resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Culberson
asl,ing the attorney general for infor-
nation as to the reasons why he did
no. prosecute the United States Steel
corporation for its absorption of the
property Of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company q year or SO ago. The
president in his message properly de-
.clilled to allow his attorney general
to give any reasons for his executive
actions, because the senate manifestly
has no power to cali for such inforna-
ton.
The president himself, however, took
OCCASION to inform the senate that the
transfer of stock between the two
bis, companies was conducted with his
en'.ire approval, and that it was one
Of the necessary steps taken by the
government to put an end to the money
panic last year which threatened to
prostrate the whole country.
1t was just as we'll that the presi-
dent went out Of his way to show the
extent to which political buncombe can
be carried by members Of congress.
Senator Culberson must have known
before he wrote his resolution that the
mere purchase of one steel company
property by another corporation is not
a violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law. That statute does not prohibit
thu combination or amalgamation of
properties so long as they are pur-
chased outright. 1t does prohibit the
combination Of different corporations
or firms for the express purpose OF
preventing competition and in restraint
Of trade.
