tensions are pernicious, his coun-

PRESIDENT CALLED TO AC-
COUNT.
A Blistering Rebuke Of the
Chief Executive.
Charlotte Observer. 22d.

The report of the majority of |
the subcommittee of the Senate
committee on the Judiciary on |
the action of the President in
the case of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company. as told in
yesterdays dispatches, is SEN
sational, and the reader was pre-
pared for the statement that the
news that such report was to be
made to the full committee
created CONSERVATION in the
Senate. " The subcommittee re-
port as agreed upon by Senators
Culberson and Overman, Demo-
Gratis, and Kittredge, Republican
three out of five-was in sub
stance that the President was
without authority to permit the
absorption of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company by the United
States Steel Corporation, the
effect of which was to permit
the latter to monopolize the iron
ore supply of the country, and
was equally unauthorized in
restraining the Attorney General
from interference with the mer-
ger. Leaders in the Senate
made no secret of the fact that
they are unwilling to go that
far" which of course means that
the full committee will to-day
turn down the subcommittee S
report. 1t will nevertheless stand
of record and as a blistering re-
buke of the Chief Executive.
To have laid himself liable to
such challenge was quite like
Mr.. Roosevelt. Headlong, head
strong, impatient of restraint,
he is restive under the limita-
tions put by the constitution
: upon his powers, and this is not
! the first time he has broken
bounds, invaded the domain OF
: both the legislative and judicia
) departments and arrogated tc
himself powers with which the
+ constitution does not invest him
} There is little reason to doubr
that if the full judiciary com
mittee should determine the
issue judicially, in the light o.
t the facts and the law and not il
, a spirit of partisanship and will
: the purpose of saving the face o
d an arrogant and impulsive Presi
r dent, it would find with tn,
e subcommittee; but this it vii
n not do, because the leaders il
t the Senate are unwilling 10 g
e that far"
