of plot and that characterizes the
music comedy.
But 1t did have four of the best

glad to know that President Taft
has no intention to declare war
against Mexico, or to send an
invading army across the border,
which would amount to such de-
claration, without the consent
Of Congress-" which is the chief
point of comfort in the explana-
ton. The country knows, Of
course, that the President has no
constitutional right to declare
war, that being one of the func-
lions of Congress; but everybody
has become SO used of late years
to the assumption by the EXecu-
tive of extra-constitutional pow
ers that such action would not
have occasioned surprise had the
interests of business required the
declaration.
With the word, semi-official
only as it is, that there shall be
no invasion of Mexico without
the consent of Congress, the
people of the country will pro-
badly rest content, for even the
utmost pressure could hardly
prevail upon, the President to
take such a step with the special
session of Congress but two
weeks away.
And when Congress meets it
will probable hasten to order an
investigation that will put the
people Of the country in possess
sion Of all the facts that infuenc
de their President to make such
extraordinary use of their army.
