WEDNESDAY February 10. 1919,
HE Is PRESIDENT. NOR JUDGE.

II President Taft has lost none of his remark
able genius for making mistakes he will veto
the Webb interstate shipment BILL If he has
learned anything by his recent overwhelming de-
feat he will sign the bill. Press reports from
Washington leave the impression that his genius
has not been impaired.
The grounds ON which 1t is reported that Presi-
dent Taft VIII veto the bill just adopted by cou-
gress In response 10 the same overwhelming pub
lie sentiment which relegated Taft to profess
serial chair Is the alleged unconstitutionality OF
the measure President Tafts ability TO find the
most technical infraction OF the constitution
equals his inability TO detect the most apparent
signs Of the times. To what the few do not
want Mr.. Taft Is as easily sensible as he Is I'm
sensible to what the many do want. He possesses
the judicial temperament
That there is doubt Of the constitutionality OF
the Webb bill may be admitted Good lawyers
are divided I'm the senate as outside. But that
the matter is In doubt is just the point. Instead
OF leaving II in doubt until 1T can be decided by
the proper tribunal. Mr. Taft gives indication OF
an intention to decide the matter himself, re-
gardiess of the fact that though he may once
constitution which he so much reveres leaves TO
the Supreme court judges and not to an ex-judge
made president, the duty of deciding mooted
points OF constitutional law.
The practice Of pretending to adopt measure
demanded by the people while framing them IN
sueh manner that the Supreme court will lie
compelled to declare them unconstitutional can
not be too severely denounced. The prevalence
of such practices in the past has operated a.
much as any one thing TO bring the Supreme
court into disrepnte when congressman respon-
sible for the presence of the joker should have
horne the blame but in this case nothing OF tho
sort appears to have been done. The trainers or
the bill were in earnest, whatever may have
been the causes operating to force many others
to vote for IT, They believe in its constitution
atty as do many authorities not members or
congress That Mr. Taft thinks Inherently Is
interesting, but the least he can do IS to sign
the bill and leave the matter to the proper au-
thority If the Supreme court find that the bill
is unconstitutional and 1t be discovered that the
people have been wilfully betrayed In the con-
gress the guilty congressman VIII be dealt with
as the people have already dealt with Mr.. Taft.
That is not the presidents outlook. In the case
OF doubt he should give the benefit of the doubt
to the majority, especially the Supreme court
stands ready clothed with constitutional au-
thority. to render void the bill should 1T prove
that Mr.. Tafts individual views correct

THE SOUTH POLAR EXPEDITION.

The death Of Captain Robert r. Scott the
British explorer, who is reported to have
perished a year ago after reaching the South
Pole. win be received with sincere grief all over
the world especially in this country. where the
exploits of Scott and that other Englishman, Sir
Ernest shackieton. well-known and where
the men have been greatly admired
The disposition of the British to give merited
honor to Amundsen for being the frst discoverer
of the South Pole redounded to their credit and
increased the interest In the Scott expedition.
The almost universal hope was held that al
though another had the glory of being the first
1t would transpire that Scott had also accom-
piishea the feat and that his scientific expedi-
ton would prove successful. The refusal OF
British explorers to be drawn into controversy
refreshing to Americans who have not yet
lost the bad taste left in their mouths by the
conduct of the two American explorers, Cook
and Peary.

the effectiveness Of the bill in large
measure. The bill as passed does not forbid the
shipment of liquor for sacramental use or Tor

Ia hard to see how Johnston, of Alabama Will
liafns. of Mississippi: Tillman. OF South Caro-
lima: Bacon. OF Georgia, and Bankhead. of Ala
bama, not TO mention the two senators from
Kentucky can justify their votes this amend
fnent-as the effect the amendment would
have been to put definite limitation upon the
police power of the States
Our Virginia senator's both voted against the
attempt to emascuiate the DILL and to limit
the power of the State.
When all other amendments had been voted
down, the motion was made to strike out ali
stitute therefor the exact text OF the Webb bill
II passed the house of representatives on the
Saturday before. and the motion prevailed. so
that by this parliamentary procedure, the exact
bill was passed by the senate which had already
been passed by the house. and thus all necessity
for a conference committee the bill was
obvated. The only thing which remains
to be done is to change the numbering of the
bin IN the house, and II may be necessary 40
secure the adoption of another special rule TO
do this. But our leaders do not anticipate any
difficulty In this regard.
After that is done. the bill will go to the
president for action It Is declared by some of
the liquor leaders that the president will veto
the bill, and that II he does, 1t will be impos-
sble to pass the bill over the veto in the senate.
OF course 1t Is possible for the president to
veto the bill. but he would certainly consider
the question very thoroughly and ponder long
before he vetoed measure so clearly desired by
the people of the nation. Were he to veto the
bill and 1t should fail of passage over his veto,
1t would be heavy blow to the Republican
party. OF which Mr.. Taft stands today as the
leading representative. Furthermore. the failure
of the bill to pass congress would precipitate the
active fight for nationwide prohibition, and 1t
would become the subject of immediate agita-
ton.
The bill, as 1t has passed both houses OF con-
gress, Is follows:

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

To the Stanton Leader, which says it does not
understand the position of The Virgtntdn as to
the civil service. we will say that believe
in the principle and hope to see it extended
in operation as rapidly possible. We are OPP

the Leader. Because said that where Offices
must be filed disappointment these offices should
be filled by adherents of the party in power and
because said that there Is no reason under
the sun why Democratic president and senate
should appoint a Republican as postmaster the
Leader appears to believe The Tirgtnfdn is OPP
posed to the extension Of the civil service sys-
tenn. What basis it finds for it's doubt we are
utterly unable to see. but as we wish position
thoroughly understood We will repeat:
The Vsygintan believes in the civil Service ii
believes that all Offices Of clerical nature and all
other Offices not political in their nature should
be filed according to merit and after competi-
tive examinations of the proper kind, and we
have never said anything inconsistent with this
position.

STEAMERS MISSING
1t is feared that many lives have
been lost and a number of vessels
sunk in the storm which has swept
over the lakes in the past two days.
Dispatches from different points,
which have been delayed owing to
crippled telegraph and telephone SER
vice indicate that fears are entertain
ed for a number of vessels that have
not been heard from since the storm
began, and that others are sighted in
distress but cannot be reached.
United States lightship No. 81, sta
toned in Lake Erie off Point Abine,
Canada, is believed to have gone
down in the 70-mile gale that swept
the lake yesterday. Wreckage from
the vessel has been picked up along
the shore. The ship carries a crew
of six or eight men, under Captain
Williams.
There is slight chance that the
Canadian steamer Arcadian, which
went on a reef near Sulphur Island
in Thunder Bay can be saved. Her
crew is believed to be in no danger.
Search was being made near Mar
quette for some trace of the steamer
L. C. Waldo, believed to have been
lost off Big Bay. The cabin and up

ed to have been washed ashore.

one had household goods stored in
it and one was vacant, 1t is thought
the fire started from a defective

owned by E. H. Rails of Shelbina
and managed by Mrs. Goldie Howe.
Mrs. Howe has purchased the

as soon as she can get the necessary
equipment together
