THE PRESIDENTS POWER.

Senator Cummins says the presi-
dent has obliterated congress. OF
course the senator, when he makes
that assertion, must be regarded as
political opponent of the president,
and due allowance should be made
for the fact that he will not go out
of his way to support the administra-
ton in anything, but making allow
ance for the exaggeration, what is
the reason for the undOubted fact
that the president is powerful?
One perfectly evident reason is
that the president is leader OF domi-
nant political party. II that party is
to accomplish anything it must fol-
low a leader, and the majority is
Loyalty following the president on all
party measures What is interpreted
as the power of the president, there
fore, has behind it the power of an
organized and disciplined party. The
dominance of the presidents views is
none the less calling to republicans
and progressives because its strength
is really party strength, but it is
very different thing from personal
domination. 1t is also much whole
somer thing, because in the long run
the president cannot command the
strength of the party without the as
sent of the voters who make up the
party.
Everyone knows that if the mem
bers Of congress believed the presi-
dent was urging course contrary to
the wishes of the people they would
not follow him. Their duty and their
political futures would combine to
force different course upon them,
and if they could not make the presi-
dent see things their way they would
desert him, and the administration
would find itself as lonesome as

A BANKING REVELATION.
The New Federal Reserve Act EvOkes
Favorable and Worldwide
Attention,

The shot that was heard around
the world fired at Lexington. April
10, 1875, by the farmers OF Massa-
chusetts. seems to have found Sec
ond, after a century and half, in
the new Federal Bank Bill, If we may
trust tho attention the bill has receiv-
ed abroad. We have at hand an
elaborate German review of the bill
by DR.. Richard Hauser, of the
Deutsche Bank of Berlin, of which we
are glad to give the substance.
DR.. Hauser calls attention to the
fact that the American undertaking
is one of the greatest that has ever
been attempted in the realm of bank
ing. The English reform of Sir Rob
ert Peel in 1914 was limited to the
question of the currency; and the
German reform of 1876 sought only
an extension of the business of the
Prussian Bank over the whole coun-
try. In no instance has such an ag-
gregation of capital had open to 1t
such new forms of opportunity; in
none have such radical changes been
made in the organization and prac-
tice of many thousands of credit
banks IS in this American legislation.
The wide-reaching financial scope
given to the new reserve banks can
not fail at once to exercise Indirect
ly great influence on the business
world.
From all this it will appear that
our new American legislation, though
it is mainly concerned with the stu
alton at homo, is recognized rs being
one of the widest international i'm
portancc. But while it is looked upon
as revolutionary here, and will need
to be watched and guarded with con-
tinual care, and will doubtless be
subjected to more or less important
change, IS experience proves the
need, it's influence abroad will be felt
gradually and that along lines OF
more natural evolution. Whatever,
therefore, it's immediate effect may
prove to be at home, it will as
whole, tend to drawing into closer
connection of the money markets OF
the world, and to increasing their
stability and their general exemption
from avoidable crises; a contribution
of no small significance to business
everywhere.-The Financial Chron-
icle

A COMBINATION AGAINST
WILSON.

Half way between presidential
campaigns, the republican party is
without candidate or an issue. ana
the progressives have a candidate
and an issue, but no party. There is
an old tale of man who cOulo not
walk, who climbed upon the shoul-
ders of man who could not see, ano
one furnishing the motive power, ana
the other the power of direction, the
two cripples reached their destlna-
tipn. Naturally some OF the republl-
cans and progressives are now mop
ing to mount the farseeing Roosevelt
upon the shoulders of the blind re-
publican party, and so beat Mr.. Will
son in the next race.
We don believe the combination
will prove as successful as the COM
bination of the lame man and the
blind in the fable. 1t is easy enough
for politicians to frame a terr1nle IN
dictment against the democratic ad-
ministration today, but will 1t LOOK
like a true bill two years hence? The
new tariff has not flooded the coun-
try with foreign goods, and when the
railroads get the freight advance they
ask for. or begin to feel the stimulus
of the huge crops, they will buy Tree.
Nv, and the very moderate dizziness OF
the present moment will be forgot
ten.
Two years hence the country Will
have had two years experience with
a banking system as much superior
to what preceded it as the national
bank system of half a century ago
was. Perfect amity will have been
restored to our Colombian relations,
and the very large part of the Amerl-
can people who do not approve OF Mr.:
Roosevelt's Panama conduct will feel
that an unpleasant spot has been
erased from the nations fame. me
present indications are that in 1916
Mexico will be peaceful and prosper
Gus, the poems having access to the
land, and the general government
representing public opinion instead
of a combination Of military despot-
ism and financial monopoly. The
great trusts in our own country Will
have been disintegrated, with the re-
suit of increasing the prosperity OF
our component parts, and OF the
country at large, and Of opening the
gates to widespread and healthful
competition.
What will republican-progressive
combination avail against such a
record? -Philadelphia Record.

ADLAI EWING STEVENSON WAS
BELOVED.

With the placing of the remains of
Hon. Adlai Ewing Stevenson in the
tomb another great democrat has
been taken from the ranks of the
faithful and another good man and
citizen given his final reward.
There are few men in the public
who have been so generally beloved
and honored as Adlai Stevenson. The
democratic party, which has held him
in high honor, has been torn by fac
tionalism ever since the advent of the
Cleveland regime, of which Mr.. Ste
venson was part, but to neither fac
ton did this sturdy old democrat ever
become an Objectionable antagonist.
Stevenson was native of Ken
lucky, where he was born in 1885.
Had he lived until next October he
would have been 70 years old. He has
lived at Bloomfield for 81 years, and
is universally loved and honored by
all the people of community that
was formerly the home of the late la
mented Judge David Davis.
Adlai Stevenson became nationally
known as assistant postmaster gener-
al from 1885 to 1889, during Grover
Clevelands first term. When Mr..
Cleveland ran again in 1892 Mr.. Ste
venson became his running mate and
served as vice-president during the
New Workers. second term. Mr. Ste
venson was also a candidate for vice
president in 1900 as the team-mate of
Mr.. Bryan. Seven years ago he was
the nominee for his party for COVER
nor of Illinois, but his advanced age
and poor health initiated against his
success even more than unfavorable
political conditions of his state.
Although identified with the
Cleveland administration in such an
exalted capacity as vice-president.
Stevenson was bimetalst and in
1897 was a member of the commits
sion to Europe to promote interna-
tional bmetallism.
Stevenson, although man Of
strong and deep convictions was not
the sort of a man to create violent
hostilties. His congenial nature pre-
Guided such a possibility, and to ev-
eryone, regardless of party or fac
ton. he had always been the same
lovable gentleman whom his neigh
bors were proud to know and honor.

almost ceased to be even a party of
opposition. Some Of its members
voted for the democratic tariff bill:
many more voted for the democratic

democratic trust measures, and upon
the third trust bill the republicans

VILLA BACK AT CHIHUAHUA
AFTER OJINAGA VICTORY

chihuahua, Mexico, Jan. 15.-After
his decisive victory at Ojinaga, Gen
eral Francisco Villa, the rebel chief,
returned here today with his army and
gave orders for the early departure of
the troops southward to attack Tor
reon, and campaign further south.
Reports from Torreon, where the
rebels hold the suburbs. say the fed
erals are ready for flight if the consti-
tutionalists appear in force. Huerta's $
forces had hoped 1fercado would with
stand the rebels at Ojinaga so the fed
erals could attack Villa in the rear.
Villa plans, if Torreon falls easily,
to proceed to Zacatecas, and then to
Aguas Calientes, and later rally about
Guadalajara- the second largest city
in the republic. The prospects OF
peace in the land held by the rebels
today caused preparations for a re-
newai OF traffic and the employees OF
the Mexican Northwestern Railway re-
turned to work.
