understand why he cannot do some
thing for his district
The question that he has now to
decide says Mr.. Underwood, portray
ing the situation with much frank
ness, is whether he shall submit to
become a tool in the hands OF the adj
ministration,, secure the Offices and DRIFT
with the party tide, or whether he shall
be the representative OF the people, de-
termining for himself what best con-
serves their interests and meets the
demands of justice and right To do
this, he must return to face angry
friends and must meet with the OPP
position of an unfriendly administra-
ton"
Mr.. Underwood does not content
himself with mere gensralities. He
refers to two men who retired from
public Office because they refused to
be cajoled by Presidential favor,
knowing, at the same time, that their
usefulness in Washington was ended
as soon as they arrayed themselves
against the administration. He cites
the history of the Porto Rican bill
and says that the thirty Republican
members who declared themselves
against it when it was first introduced
dwindled to eight on the final roll call,
the other recalcitrants having sue
cumbed, as one of them openly de-
clared, to Presidential pressure. And,
finally, while admitting that the prac-
tice of using patronage as a means OF
accomplishing legislation has been
common with Presidents in the past.
Mr.. Underwood sorrowfully asserts
that the situation is growing worse in
stead of better.

MODEL FRENCH KITCHEN.
Havre Exhibit includes Everything
from Coffee Pot to Freezer.


from Conce Pot to Freezer.
From the Daily Consular Reports.
From time immemorial 1t has been con-
coded that the French nation leads the
world in culinary skill and economy. In
the United States and other countries
outside their native land there are many
French chefs who command salaries as
high as $500 per annum. Even in France,
where the supply is largest and salaries
range lower. their accomplishments are
generously compensated. In the individ-
ual homes marvellous skill and ingenuity
are displayed by housewives in utilizing
materials and guarding against waste
These habits Of systematic economy are
a valuable resource OF the nation in times
like the present. when the high cost Of
living bears hardest on food articles OF
daily necessity.
The kitchen being the theater of this
stern and constant struggle of the
French housewives to maintain the ira
ditional economies, more than passing
interest attaches to the exhibition OF a
model kitchen which a leading mer-
chant in Havre made recently in his store
windows. 1t represented his idea of a
thoroughly equipped kitchen for a FAM
lily in comfortable circumstances in this
community. An VI COu-

manufactured by the merchant making

manufacture were included in the equip

er. priced at s3S2; an ice pick. 10 cents;

THE POLITICAL SITUATION

With the incoming of new admin
istration the pie-counter is opened. Be
hind the counter stands the President
Of the United States.
Patronage is the Presidents power.
The founders of the government knew
that this would be- so, and the question
of regulating the appointing power was
debated at length. Some of the Con-
stitution makers were so fearful that
some President would make himself
a monarch through the unrestricted
distribution of official honors that they
wanted Congress to make all appoint
ments. This, of course, was the other
extreme. because the President, if he
was to be an executive in fact as well
as in name, must have the authority
to name those who were associated
with him in his administration. The
problem was finally solved by giving
the Senate the right to reject or con-
firm the Presidents selections. In the
first forty years of our history there
were so few changes in the Offices that
the distribution of patronage was a
minor detail With the incoming Of
Andrew Jackson there came also the
theory that to the victors belong the
spoils, and from that day to this the
number of appointments made by each
succeeding President has steadily in
creased.
The growth OF the power OF the
President has been in proportion to the
increase in the number of Offices to be
filled. There was a tremendous stir
throughout the country when in eight
years Andrew Jackson removed 252
civil officials in order to give places
to his partisans. Today there are
Io.S39 offices at the personal disposal
OF the President, and it is safe to say
that there will be a new occupant of
each position within the next four
years These officials, in turn, appoint
subordinates. The army of govern
ment employees numbers 4II.322, Of
whom 262,6oS are under civil service
regulations This leaves 1874 whose
positions are dependent upon the will
of the President or persons appointed
by the President. Estimates based
upon information gathered from the
heads Of departments show that the
President annually diverts into the
pockets of his favored selections and of
their friends the sum of S25yoooooo, or
100000 during the four years of
his administration. the money being
taken ont of the Federal Treasury.
The right TO distribute this enormous
sum TO certain individuals gives the
President immense power. Ii is true
that he must appoint by and with the
consent of the Senate, but inasmuch
as the Senator's are consulted in the
parceling out of the spoils, it is not
often that negative action is taken. BY
the side of the conditions which obtain
today, the historic place which Andrew
Jackson occupied dwindles into insig-
nifcance. As each year the number of
offices is increased, the time will come
when the power exercised by the Pres
ident will offer serious temptation to
some unscrupulous and ambitious man.
Even now there is tremendous oppor
tunity to reward friends and punish
enemies.

Danger in the Presidents Power.

There is grave danger in the pres
ent extent of the Presidents power,
and in the fact that it is increasing
every year. The President can almost
make or mar a Senator or Representa-
tive by a friendly or unfriendly atti-
tude. 1t is this fact which compels
harmonious relations, and more fire.
quently ends in complete subservience
at the Capitol end of Pennsylvania
Avenue.
Many thoughtful men, who have a
sincere regard for the integrity of our
institutions, have discussed this phase
of government. Some, like Mr., In
derwood. have raised their voices in
noble protest, others like ex-senator
Bourne, have gone further and have
sought to find a remedy in the trans
ference, through constitutional amend
ment, of the Presidential power of
nomination to a permanent nonpartisan
commission. All agree that the exer-
else of the Presidential power through
Withholding or distributing patronage,
in order to influence votes in Con-
gress, is intolerable 1t is bribery of
a form so base that it was not fore
seen by the makers of the Constitution
and is not yet recognized by lswmak-
ers. 1t is the most insidious form of
bribery because it cannot be proven.
1t is the most effective, because enc
can accept favors from a President
without question.
Some of these days the great power
of a President will be curtailed In
the meantime, he stands at the orifce
of the golden fountain and checks the
stream or lets it flow according TO his
own pleasure. More than this, it must
run in the direction that he wills. No
wonder that the thirsty patriots be-
side the Pactolian river await with
anxious ears the music of ripping
waves and meanwhile promise TO be
good.
