advantage Of the error and iii denying

exercise was scrutinized jealously lest there might be some overstep- ping the boundary by those in authority. And many such who were elevated to high executive office were possessed of that same fear and distrust of the power of the general government, seeking always an excuse for neglecting its exercise, and ready ever to set down upon some ill advised subordinate who should in
 some exuberant moment overstep the hounds of prudence in exercise of the power that might be reposed in him. In that way there has grown in all the departments of government at Washington tradi- tlons of timldity in dealing with foreign affairs that has made the government seem always puerile and insufficient; and even when there has been some sudden and popular approval of a rare exercise of American nerve and courage in dealing with such questions there has been an after effect that was not attendant with the best results.
 One of the most remarka ble in- stances of the feebleness of the government at Washington was the aftermath of the Kosta case in the early sos. Martin Kosta was Hungarian who participated in the revolution of 1S4S under Kos suth, and when that movement collapsed sought safety in flight to

@'WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED. !"

NAACCN NAO iAA AANAASO OASN NN' and property that are damaged greatly by the conditions there prevailing, which in some parts border upon anarchy, are bewail- ing the supineness of the Amer ican government, and blaming the administration at Washington for not enforcing vigorous policy for protection of American citizens and interests in the neighboring republic.
 All such critics fail to realize that the very weakness they de- plore is inherent in constitutional government such as our own, wherein the war making power is withheld expressly from the ex- ecutive. When the American gov ernment was framed the main aim and object of the men who estab- lished its form was to so hedge about the power of the executive that there would be no danger of elimination of popular liberty by aggressive executive action from some ambitions man elevated to the high office, through misuse of the power temporarily reposed in him. Control of the military power, with the opportunity presented by giving to the executive the right to determine the question of war and and peace had been the rock upon which had been wrecked some of the earlier republics. With their example in view the Fathers of the American republic set up every safeguard possible against any such executive aggression upon civil liberty. For that reason the general government was framed more on the lines of an agency than upon those of an independent autonomy. 1t was combination or federation of free and independent states for mutual defence but not for aggression. To that end the executive was and is hedged about with all sorts of restrictions and Limitations. He was given very small army, subject constantly to the most rigid scrutiny by the re- presentatives of the people, and in case of domestic violence or foreign invasion he can call out the militia in limited numbers only; and to secure more soldiers must call to- gether the Congress, direct from the people, to receive from that body explicit sanction for more men, equipment and munitions. And exercise of the war making power or any act inherent in such power was and is reposed explicit ly in the people or their represen- tatives in Congress. As a conse- quence the executive can do mo- thing that can be construed as an act of war against another nation without the direct sanction of Con- gress.
