How Congress is "Coercec."

New York World: The President
has deemed it worth while to deny one
of the many assertions that he is coer-
cling Congress. If there is any coercion
of Congress it does not proceed from
the White House.
Public opinion is still powerful, and
Mr.. Wilson interprets it with accuracy.
Party loyalty is still force to be
reckoned with, and Mr.. Wilson APP
preciates the fact. The time when
platform pledges could be forgotten
overnight has passed. and Mr. Wilson
knows it.
The President has arrayed very
forcefully all the arguments in favor of
political and personal good faith; he
has attempted to communicate to others
his own high sense of responsibility
and he has properly used to these ends
the great resources of publicity at his
command.
Such are the influence that are
squirting the doubters and trimmers in
Congress. 1t is these influences that
are causing the disquiet now visible
among men whose sincerity has been
brought into question. The persuasion
complained of is not due to Executive
terrorism, or to spoils, or to any other
form of tyranny or corruption. So far
as it prevails at all, it is moral, with no
rewards proffered save the peoples APP
proval and no punishments even limited
at that do not proceed from the people s
wrath.
1t is not coercion. 1t is eternal
vigilance, which now, as always is the
price of liberty.

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE
PEOPLE

LAS government is impressed by its
This may suffice to explain the
phenomenon complained of. But 1t is
true, also, that no government ever did
altogether act out, purely, and for II
long period, all the virtues of it's ORR
ginal constitution. Hence it is that we
are so we'll told by Bolingbroke, that
every nation must perpetually renew
it's constitution or perish. Hence,
moreover. it is great excellence of our
system, that sovereignty resides. not in
Congress and the President, nor yet in
the governments of the States, but in
the people of the United States. If the
sovereign be just and interrupted, the
governments can always be brought
back from any alterations, and even
the constitutions themselves, if in any
degree imperfect, can bH amended.
This great idea of the sovereignty of the
people over the government glimmers
in the British system, which it fills our
own with broad and glowing light.
1t was not Socialist that uttered the
words above quoted neither was il
later day progressive Republican; noi
forward looking Democrat. 1t was
William IL. Seward. one of the founder,
of the Republican party. Our great
constitution is not hard and fas
thing Interchangeable like the laws o
the Modes and the Persians; but is sub
ject to amendment and growth.

Milwaukee News: President Wilson
is to be be commended in the stand he
has taken against exempting from civil
service deputy collectors of internal
revenue and deputy United States
marshals. This provision was made a
part of the urgent deficiency bill as Il
rider amendment and like others of it's
kind had no place in the measure.

Won't Recognize Those Chosen
At Mexican Election,
TO WATCH TRIAL OF DEPUTIES
Mexico's Provisional President sus-
ponds Constitution and Announces
Himself Oictator-United States to
Keep Eye on Observation-Disclosures
Offended by Note from Wilson.

Vera Cruz, Mex, Oct. 15.-Private
advices here say President Huerta
has repudiated the statement given
out by the foreign minister, Querido
Moheno, in which the latter called the
American note 'intemperate. The act
of the provisional president in this
case is believed to have been exactly
similar to the course he pursued with
regard to the so-called "ultimatum"
delivered by former foreign minister
lnurreta, authority for which was
denied promptly by Huerta.

Washington, Oct. 15.-President
Wilson and the entire cabinet discuss
ed the Mexican situation and the
naval policy of the United States at
the first cabinet meeting since last
June.
Official notification was sent by
Secretary Bryan to John Lind and
Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy that
the United States does not and will
not recognize the Huerta plans for
the proposed election and that it will
not recognize any one chosen at such
election.
Further instructions were sent to
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy and Mr.. Lind to
scrutiniZe the conduct of the proposed
trial of the arrested deputies
Advices from Mexico City indicated
that the Mexican deputies, for whose
safety the American government had
made representations, still were in
jail, but, according to Huerta, in no
danger. His statement, however, that
the deputies would be brought to
trial was received here with disap-
pOintment. 1t is believed that foreign
governments also are watching the
fate of the imprisoned congressman.
Germany's dispatch of a warship was
construed as a direct result of the ar
rest of the deputies and the fear that
anarchy might follow.
Huerta Now Dictator"
Copies of proclamation by Pro
visional President Huerta, announc,
ing himself as dictator over Mexico,
were received at the state department
and considered at the cabinet meet
ing at the White House.
Huerta declared suspended that
provision of the constitution which
grants immunity from arrest to mem
bers of the Mexican congress and an
nounces that he will from time to
time issue executive DEGREES because
of the dissolution of congress
Mexico City, Mex, Oct. 15.-An
early answer will be made by the
Mexican government to the communi-
cation from Washington declaring the
United States would look with dis
pleasure upon any injury to the Mex
lean deputies under arrest, according
to the Mexican foreign minister,
Juerido Moheno. 1t was the subject
OF cabinet meeting which lasted un-
til an early hour In the morning.
The reply probably will be delivered
to Nelson Shaughnessy, American
charge daffairs Neither Mr. O'Shaugh-
messy nor Foreign Minister Moheno
would discuss the note. but Senior
Moheno described it is 'intemperate."
New Epoch in Diplomacy.
At the conclusion of the cabinet
meeting Senior Moheno admitted the
receipt of the communication, saying:
This incident marks a new epoch
in our diplomatic relations with the
United States, The conduct of the
American charge d'afaires has been
courteous and he was not responsible
for the Incorporate Language of his
| government"
A further conference of ministers
was held to discuss the nature Of the
