POWER or AN EXECUTIVE.

Hrom the Philadelphia Public Ledgor)
George Bernard Shaw remarks: II know
that even in tho United States whore
treaties and declarations of war must DO
made by Parliament, it is nevertheless
possible for the president to bring abopt
a situation i'm which Congress, like our
House Of Commons in the present in
stance, has no alternative but to declare
war"
When Polk was president Congress had
no other alternative. Polk. coveting Cali
fornia ard New Mexico and finding it I'M
possible to purchase them, determined on
war. The MeXiCans, goaded by the action
of General Taylor, who was under the
direct orders of tho president, attacked an
American force and killed il of our dra-
goons. Congress then acquiesced In the
war policy of Polk Cleveland came near
involving tho country in conflict wi h
Great Britain. Washington saved us from
a war, and history may say the same
tribute can be paid to Wilson.
We cannot afford to dcludc ourselves
through our common use of the mild term
"tingoism," into thinking that America
can have no militaristic peril OF its OWL,
balance of power may be a mena ce
peculiarly European, but the green-ey I'd
monster of national jealousy stalks around
the world and commercial egotism is its
companion In mischief making.

agent and operator for the Chicago and
Alton at Chenoa, III. 1t was in Vermont
In 1850 that the Morse invention was first
brought into use for train dcspatchinC.
In that year Copeland was Il young
clerk in the postofficc at Mlddlohury, and
was also the telegraph operator, In
those days trains We're run solely by the
time card. In December, 1867, a heavy
snow storm delayed all trains on the
Rutland and Burlington, the mail from
Boston being held back for many hours
When the train from the north came in
Copeland told the crew they would have
n long wait at Brandon, the next stop,
where they usually passed the mail from
Boston. He then suggested that the OPP
arator at Brandon call Rutland and ask
the crew OF the mail to wait until the
south-bounI train could get through. thus
saving a long delay. 1t developed how
ever, that the operator at Brandon had
gone TO Burlington The train crew then
induced Copeland to ride with them to
Brandon and send the messages
HIS FIRST MESSAGE.
Upon reaching Brandon Copeland sent
a message to Henry Howe, conductor of
the mail train, asking him to hold his
train at Rutland until the accommodation
arrived from the north, signing the name
of Conductor Tiffany. Conductor Howe
replied that he would do so and the ac-
commodatiOn proceeded. \ freight train
that followed asked for similar favors.
and, after messages were exchanged.
also proceeded. The movement resulted
in safety and marked saving in delay,
The messages exchanged were pre-
served by Mr.. Copeland and are of his
ioric interest, marking IL new era OF rail-
