control of Congress and a determination
to mold legislation to conform TO the ideas
and demands of the President, has never
been known before. In this procedure
there is grave danger. Washington, in
his farewell address, pointed out what
these dangers were. From time to time
other men have recognized the evils which
might arise from the constant interior
ence with Congress on the part of the
executive, but, blindly, our President per-
sists in making Congress do just what he
thinks it should do, conform absolutely to
his will, in big things as well as in small.
The trouble seems to be that the Presi-
dent regards himielf as a party leader and
not as the exponent of the whole people.
He has said that he feels responsible for
the carrying out Of the promises made by
his party and to this end devotes all OF
the powers at his command. He is the first
President to assume such a narrow view
OF his duties and responsibilities. The
President has duty to peoform to the
whole people, not to any faction OF the
people, and the sooner he comes to realize
it the better it will be for his administra-
tion and for the country as a whole.
His most troublesome problems right
now are largely due to his partizan blind
ness and obstinacy. On the foreign rela-
tions committee of the Senate are men,
republicans to be sure, but nevertheless
experienced statesmen, diplomats and
patriots, who are big enough to put aside
partisanship when it comes to dealing
with foreign nations and who have stood
ready and willing to aid the President in
solving his Mexican difficulties.
But President Wilson has not consulted
them, has not conferred with them, and
has denied himself to them when they
have proffered their assistance. He has
relied, not upon men of the wide expert
ence and knowledge who compose this
particular committee, but upon the advice
Of men like John Lind whom he sent to
Mexico as his personal representative, and
who was neither fitted by temperament
education or experience to deal with the
situation which existed. Lind's only
recommendation came from Secretary
Bryan, HON he had supported in several
campaigns, and the world has wondered
that great nation such as ours should
have employed such a man at a critical
time to handle such complex problem as
that which Mexico prese nted.
No President who regards himself as
merely the exponent of a party and who
never loses sight of partisan politics in
everything he undertakes, can win the
confidence OF people. And in dealing
with our foreign relations after this
fashion, the President has forfeited the
confidence of the people and brought his
party to the very brink of the yawning
chssm of disaster.

The interference of the executive in the
legislative branch of the government and
the operation of the secret caucus in Con-
gress as carried on by the democratic
party, is having marked effect upon the
manner OF handling legislation. The ma
jority of all committees is democratic, but
there is scarcely a committee which can
muster a quorum for the transaction Of
business at any time, and important bills
which are referred to committees are
pigeon holed and neglected because the
committee chairman cannot compel an at
tendance OF sufficient number OF demo-
Gratis to consider them. When reproved
for this neglect of public business, demo-
cratic congressman declare that it is use
less for them to waste time attending
committee meetings when all legislation
is being passed upon at the White House
and acted upon in the secret caucus re-

There have been other Presidents who
have interfered from time to time with

and undoubtedly there has been some &C.

to-day to a limited extent, but such

The Mexican situation has changed
but slightly from last week. The
mediation board is in session at Nj
agara Falls, Can, but the first week
has been occupied by preliminaries,
and search for a common ground for
a starting point. Interesting devel-
opments of the week have been the
denial from Huerta that his repre-
sentatives to the mediation confer
ence had authority to present his
resignation, news from Mexico of the
safety of Consul Silliman, and the
continued successes in the field of the
constitutionalists.

In a biographical sketch OF Rev. ]. w.
Tickle, who recently became pastor of the
Ellsworth Unitarian church, THE AMERI-
CAN made the statement that Mr.. Tickle,
when he came to the United States,
''ioined the Methodist conference" DR..
David Fl. Tribou, secretary of the East
Maine Methodist conference, writes that
this is an error. "Mr. Tickle was never a
member of the conference"
THE AMERICAN spoke in terms of lay
man, meaning that when Mr.. Tickle
came to this country he began preaching
in Methodist church. This correction is
made at the request of the secretary of the
East Maine Methodist conference.
