WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN
MR.. De la BARRA ARRIVES
The Western World Wonders What
Effect the Ex-Presidents Return
Will Have In Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO. April S. -
No other event holds as much Of
speculative interest in the Mexican
political situation as the arrival here
Of Francisco Leon De La Barra
after an absence OF four and one
half months. All sorts OF predic
tons as to his future part in ma
tional affairs are being made. ac-
cording To the light in which the
maker views the local situation, but
in the main there are expectations
that Senior De La Barra's influence
will be OF benefit.
Even the members OF the Progress
sive Nationalist party, the man who
sen, the cabied dispatch to the alb
sent es-president advising him for
the country's good not TO return 10
Mexico, do not contend that he
comes with the purpose Of foment-
ing new difficulties for the ADM
istra,ion. Their fear is that his
name will be a ralIying cry for the
powerful discontents. among them
the church party. The influence OF
this party in Mexico is difficult to
determine. Political party life in
Mexico is, as a matter OF fact, gen
orally impossible to predict for any
period Of time, for the plain reason
that there have never previously ex-
listed free political organizations.
While popular support for one al
lcgiancc or another. however. is as
yet a matter Of the personal popu-
larity Of the leaders, Senior DE la
Barra has been differentiated from
the others by his ability To com
mand a continuous attitude of re-
spect on the part of Mexico at
large. Whether from a sense of fair
ness toward Francisco Madero when
the latter was making the political
campaign that preceded his formal
election to the presidency, or from
an astute sense that the future held
possibilities OF more lasting pre-
eminence in his country. Senior De
la Barra declined the nomination
as an opposition candidate which
the Catholic party tried to force
upon him
When two days previous to his
departure from Paris on his return
TO Mexico. the members of the Pro-
gressive Constitutional party, all
known as intimates OF the Madero
administration. sent the message

BRYAN IS OPPOSED
TO PENSION Plan
President Would Rest Under
Shame In Accepting Such.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 2.-William J.
Bryan is opposed to the pensioning o;
ex-presidents with the Carnegie fund
In the Commoner of this week he
says:
''It would be monstrous thing to
permit the president of the United
States to rest under the shame OF
anticipating a pension from a fund
accumulated through special privilege.
1t would be bad enough to put an ex-
president in the attitude OF an object
of charity.
"Mr. Carnegie's proposition is SO
serious menace to public welfare
that congress should seize the first
opportunity to make such a pension
as proposed by Mr.. Carnegie utterly
impossible.
'It would be we'll IL public senti
ment could be SO crystallized as to
force an immediate withdrawal of the
proposition by the gentleman who
made it."

Declares Act Of Congress

ASSERTS IT IS INVALID
In Brief Filed In the United States
Supreme Court the Assistant Attor-
ney General Expresses the Opinion
That Congress Exceeded Its Powers.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Former Assist
ant Attorney General James M. Beck
hled in the supreme court his briel
In the case brought by the Lewis Pub
fishing company to test the oonstitu
tionality of the newspaper publicity
law.
The brief discusses fully the power
OF the federal government indirectly
to censor the press through the regula
ton of the mails, recounts at length
the struggle in England and America
to free the press from restraint and
the meaning of the first amendmen,
forbidding any abridgment of the free
dom of the press.
Mr. Beck argues that as the Con
stitution did not expressly give any
power to regulate journalism. any at
tempted regulation can only be justi
fed as necessary and proper means
to carry out some federal function.
He denies that the regulation Oh
newspaper ownership and the enforced
publicity of It's business can be an
appropriate means of carrying out the
federal power over the mails.
Notification by lndirection.
Mr.. Beck strongly denounces the
idea that congress can so use it's DOW
ers to accomplish unconstitutional
ends. This the brief calls "nullifica
ton by indirection," and 1t cites the
commodities clause of the Hepburn
bill, Senator Beveridge's child labor
bill and the present newspaper law az
striking examples of an attempted
perversion of federal power TO accom-
plish ulterior and unconstitutional
ends.
After reviewing the struggle which
led, both In England and America, to
the freedom of the press, he asserts
that such liberty consists not only In
freedom from absolute prohibition
but also of exception from any burden,
some or unreasonable restraint. Any
undue burden upon writing or publ
cation or other restriction of the right
to print and circulate Is an abridg
ment of the press and contrary to the
first amendment
The brief argues that the enforced
publication of newspaper company's
circulation and the publishers credit,
ors would unduly burden the power
OF the weak newspaper to compete
with the stronger, and In many cases
drive the weak newspapers to the
wall.
