Encroachments on Congress

Senator Cummins Of Iowa contrib
utes an article to a current periodical
entitled The Presidents influence a
Menace" in which he boldly flches
one Of the cardinal principles Of the
Baltimore platform, to-wit: Against ex-
eeutive eDcroachments on the legisla-
tive branch Of the government. The
senator declares, supporting his charge
with concrete illustrations with which
the public is familiar, that Woodrow
Wilson is not only president but con-
gress, for all practical purposes. He
shows that the wish Of the executive
has, according TO confessions on the
floor, caused even the members Of the
most important committees to torsake
their views on large questions. The
most striking illustration OF the power
OF the executive was in the matter Of
the repeal Of coastwise tolls exemption.
The president reversed his own pre-
election attitude and induced the Dem
ocrats Of the house to repudiate the
platform pledge on which each was
chosen.
The senator says that this is no vio-
lation Of the letter and spirit Of the
constitution and that such encroach-
ments were not even thought possible
by the trainers Of the constitution.
Their fear was that congress might
seek to cripple the executive, and the
veto power and other provisions were
inserted to prevent that. But with the
development Of political parties the
whole status was changed. The fact
that the president is the tituIar leader
oi his party and that when he speaks
he addresses the nation is one reason
for this growth Of power. But the dis
pensing Of patronage, which Senator
Cummins condemns as the chief cause
Of presidential influence, is unaues-
tionably an important elemcn,. That
congressman are becoming rubber
stamps" is a matter Of common knowl.
edge. With the present tendency
congress might as we'll be abolished
and the lawmaking power be vested in
the executive. The country seems to
enjoy the rule oI a monarch with
definite time limit on his reign.
There is little new on the subject to
which Senator Cummins restricted him.
self in the title Of his article, but he
incidentally brings out a fact worth
thinking about. He says tina, the su'
preme court ol the United States has
not encroached on the legislative
branch OF the government, familiar as
the charge has become. He declares,
on the contrary that the bulk Of the
decisions have strained the elasticity
Of the constitution TO uphold congress
in dealing with problems undreamed
Of by the fathers. He argues that
with a written constitution, fixing state
and federal relations, there must be
some body to pass on the constitu'
tionalitY OF acts Of the state and ma
tionsl Legislatures, else there would be
indeterminate clashes. He says that
but for the service of the supreme
court our government would have
long ago miserably failed to accomplish
its high purpose" Senator Cummins'
statement is based on Iorty years
study Of the decisions OF the federal
courts. His reputation as legislator,
as governor, and as the leading attor-
ney Of Iowa should give his conclusion
great weight.-Globe. Democrat.

of supply of skin for grating pur-

Il believe" DR.. Venable told the
Medical Association of the Southwest,
that il will not be necessary in the
their skin for the sake of others. The
skin of swine. il taken when the ami

be grated upon a human being more
successfully than the skin Of another
human being
an course of my experiments
have found that the grating of pig
skin is successful in from - TO 100
per cent of the attempts. The skin
of frogs. guinea pigs. dogs. cats and
human beings averages only from 80
to 80 per cent of takes The little
pig, therefore is the most promising
source of supply Of which we know
now.
1T is the recognized rule of skin
grating that skin from lower organ
ism will grow upon the body Of a
higher organism, while the ATTEMPT

are reversed, The pig is. of course, a
low organism compared to man, and
fortunately, in spite of this difference.

"A further advantage in the use Of
pig skin is that the supply is ple2tiful

extensive operations in skin grating
may be carried on with much greater
rapidity than is now possible. or
course transferring skin from one part
of the patients body to another Is
preferable to all other forms of skin

During the glorious days Of carly

Many women make the mistake OF
linking that only the very robust

rs a matter of fact, no greater error
,ould possibly be made, as there is
nothing which helps more to build up
the body, soothe fretted nerves and
rest a tired brain than just simple

remarkable decrease in the number
Of nervous complaints from which sc

CATCHING a Bride.

Among certain Siberians the BRIDE
groom is not permitted to have wife
until he can catch her. But they do
not give him fair race in the open.
The bride, surrounded by her female
friends, awaits him in a big tent. As
soon as she sees him she runs off.
He follows like Hippomenes after Alta
lanta. But instead of obstacles being
thrown in the way Of the bride they
are thrown across the path of the
bridegroom. The pursuing groom falls
over old women. chairs, tables, stones
and fishing rods or is tripped up by
ropes. Only when 1t is feared he
might give up and sulk and go away
without the f1eeting lady is he permit
ted to overtake her. Then as she falls
into his outstretched arms it may be
imagined she utters some equivalent
Of 'sThis is so sudden!"

William p. Jackson will make fight
against surrendering his seatsin the Sen.
ate until the end Of the present session of
the Maryland Legislature.
Mr.. Jackson does not contend that the
Goldsborough writ of election under
which Blair Lee, of Montgomery county.
was named to succeed the late Senator
Rayuor is invalid. but be quotes the
opinions Of Senate Republicans who hold
that the Governor had no right to call
this election.
A 5,ooo-word brief was presented to
the Senate committee Tuesday by Senator
Jackson. Two points are made in the
brief. The first holds that under the
original Goldsborough commission, in
virtue of which Senator Jackson is now
serving, his term expires at the end and
not at the beginning of the Legislative
session. The second point involves the
validity of the GoIdsborough writ Of
election.
