that the Presidents shall take care
that the antitrust law be not faithfully
executed.
In these circumstances II Is the du-
ty of the President 10 hold fast to the
mandate OF the Constitution and to
his oath of Office
The rider to the appropriation bill
specifies that no part OF certain fund
placed at the disposal Of the Depart.
ment Of Justice shall be used in pro-
ceedings against labor or agricultural
associations charged with violating
the Sherman act
II is true that this restriction would
not prevent the President from en-
ploying other funds Of the Department
of Justice for that purpose. II is true
that 1t would not interfere with Grim.
inal prosecutions against such associ-
ations. 1t is true that the restriction
applies for only year and that the
Attorney-General can probably man
age to evade it. Nevertheless, the
iniquity of the principle involved is
in no sense minimized
This bill Is class legislation, and
class legislation is always vicious. 1t
is an unwarrantable invasion OF the
powers and independence of the Exec
utiye. 1t amounts to Congressional
decree that the President shall violate
his oath Of Office. 1t creates a pre-
cedent that, unless stifled at once, may
survive to yex the Nation for years
to come, for If Congress may interfere
with the President in the enforcement
of one law it has power to interfere
with him in the enforcement of every
law.
We believe that Congress has Meth
or moral nor a constitutional right
to leave a law on the statute books
and then restrain the President in the
execution OF that law. Congressional
usurpation may be as dangerous to
American institutions as executive
usurpation, and the President owes II
to the country to assert that indepen.
dence Of his Office. He should emphat-
ically upheld the principle that ii Con.
gress wishes to amend or qualify a
law it must do SO by statute and not
by tying the hands of the Executive.
As the President well knows, much
of the protest against this rider Is not
honest and is not sincere. \ great
deal of it comes from interests that
oppose any enforcement OF the Sher-
man law and that have proiitcd i'm
mensely by failure to enforce it. Some
of 1t is inspired by men who would
like TO have the antitrust act repealed
In is entirety and who would now be
heartily in favor of any appropriation
bill that exempted ceTporaticns from
prosecution.
Their hypocrisy and hollow msincer-
ity do not, however, destroy the funda-
mental element Of yiciousness which
is the. basis Of this class legislation
Privatel hypocrisy and private insin-
certify are no defense of COMPRESSION
al usurpation They are no justifica-
ton for mandatory violation of the
Presidential oath. Let the President
stand squarely on the Constitution,
and If Congress is determined to pass
the bill over his veto, let CCagress take
the responsibility York World.

FLOOD RELIEF FIeUe..n


The disastrous results OF tornado
and of rainfall which made themselves
felt In Nebraska and Indiana in the
last week of March are now history.
Beyond a doubt, the most impress
siYe feature was the self-reliant rally
OF the afflicted districts for rescue
and. control work In Omaha order
was Immediately brought out of chaos
by the leading forces or the city
through organization to restore order
and to remove debris. Instances oc.
CURED where business leaders were
on atluty day and night in order that
their city might be rescued from the
anarchy threatened by the disaster.
Compared with the somewhat local
lied disaster in Nebraska, the wide
spread evil effects in Ohio and Indiana
necessarily called for still higher
order of statesmanship. In these two
affected; communication was cut Off ;
large numbers were Iert homeless and
rescue work was in itself dangerous.
IT mslst be said for the twenty or more
injured cities and towns that these
towns have today resumed their nor
maj activities even though a consid.
cradle time must elapse before the
seats of the disaster finally dsap
pear. Wherever in these cities active
commercial ORGANIZATIONS already ex
listed, these were found to be a natur-
al nucleus for effort, since they con
tained in their membership the lead
ing forces OF the city, accustomed to
committee work anc accustomed to
cooperative rallying for the common
good.
The second important result of
this great disaster has been in the di-
reotion OF demonstrating the value of
the commercial organization for quick
action aud for nationwide response.
An Impressive result has come from
the work of these organizations the
nation over, II emphasizes the need
Of having in every city an effective
commercial Organization, ready not
merely to deal with the personal needs
of u community, but ready to speak
in tones OF Authority for the kindly
impulse and sympathy Of one city for
any other city or region that may be
stricken by any form of disaster
The appalling destruction wrought

the national Importance of the Amer
leap Red Cross. Here is an organiza-
ton, existing, in its ordinary affairs,
in a. somewhat skdletal form, but new

state and local boards, and its nation
al administration to take hold of and
control the distribution OF vast sums
and to administer relief methodically.
BysMarch 2S, three days after the dis
aster had befallen Ohio and Indiana,
funds for this special need began to
pour into the Washington Cfice of the
Americtn Red Cross Society The
mere list of contributions is demon

of the organized efforts OF gathering
