THE DRIVER OF CONGRESS.

President Wilson is the whole
works" in Congress. And speaking
of Congress Of course the Democratic
majority of both houses is meant.
Senator Simmons was unwise to re.
sent the remarks of Senator Works,
OF California. that Congress had beer
deprived OF its function by executive
dictation and caucus rule, for nothing
IS clearer TO the public to-day than
that the President has been telling
Congress what to do and seeing to IL
that his orders are obeyed.
Most OF the legislation OF the arst
year OF President Wilson's term. and
of which the Democracy is so boast.
full, was put through by the driving
power of his personality. Every halt
made by the leaders OF the party in
the House and the Senate was met
by an order from the White House
for another advance. However grudg.
ingly the order was obeyed IL was
submission pure and simple TO "execu.
tive dictation.' From the passage of
the tariff bill down to the measures
taken for the repeal OF the free tolls
clause in the Panama act the Demo.
cratic majority has done the bidding
OF its master.
The President mapped out an anti.
trust programme OF legislation. and
the Democrats sought TO vitalize that
policy by framing the legislation TO
make IL effective. They made a sorry
mess Of IT, The bills are now under.

a PARTY OF REVERSAL.

The Democratic National platform.
which IL was solemnly asserted was
constructed with special reference to
hitting the candidate. seems to have
suited neither the candidate nor the
peg<y. as IL is constantly coming into
fo1DN1ct with both In very important
111nnces. Il Is true free tolls for
Aonerican vessels was advocated In
TIE Daatform. but the platform also
declared irrevocably against ship
suboidies. Free tolls was a practical
subsidy. Here is where the platform
confiicted with itself. but what has
subsequently happened In this matter
10 too well known TO be repeated.
In the tariff law there was a pro-
vision granting a FIVE per cent dis
count on all imports carried by ships
OF American registry. This is moth
Ing more than a ship subsidy. granted
by indirect methods. IL Is true, but
nevertheless in effect a subsidy.
IL Is another example OF conflict
with the Baltimore platform. The
President found out something else.
that II was a question whether this
rebate cannot lawfully be claimed for
goods brought over in vessels OF other
nations whose treaties with us guar.
antee the same terms TO them as 10
American vessels. Several nations
did protest against the provision, and
there was some talk OF repeating II.
but the patron of the tariff bill. Mr..
Underwood. raised such a howl that
IL was dropped. However. last No
vember h Attorney General advised
the Treasury Department to ignore
the provision, nc doubt at the in.
stance OF the President.
The next chapter In this thrilling
serial OF Democratic Mistakes,
changes the scene OF action to New
York. where o. Saturday the board
OF United States general appraisers
construed the five per cent discount
provision to be effective. The matter
viii be appealed to higher courts for
a decision. Either way IL goes the
Democratic party will be discredited
In profession and performance. with
reference TO its platform. The same
objections apply to this subsidy pro
vision as TO the free tolls question,
In which the national honor is con.
cerned The President has reversed
himself on free tolls. and the party
VIII reverse itself. and there will IN
all likelihood be another reversion
with the Baltimore platform in a fur
ther dismantled state.

UNREveNoEo ATROCITIES.

The attention OF tbs State Depart
ment has just been called to WI fend-
ish atrocities perpetrated upon Amer.
lean women in Mexico by Huerta's
soldiers We have been laying the
lash OF criticism and invective on
Villa so long that IL was presumed
that b Federals had nothing to &C.
count for in the way OF outrages.
Besides II seems that the admlnistra-
ton has been concerned more about
the death Of the subject OF a foreign
nation than any indignity inflicted on
our own citizens. So far villa and
Carranza have not been charged
with permitting outrages upon women,
and that certainly is something in
their favor.
The two cases charged AGAINST
Huerta's soldiers are aggravated by
the act that they occurred last No
vember. and that In spite OF repre-
sensations made to the Federal gov
eminent nothing was done to bring
the perpetrators TO justice. One of
the outrages was committed upon a
married woman with a three weeks
old babe at her breast in Vera Cruz,
within sight OF the American flag ny.
ing from the mast head of a United
States warship. The details are hor-
rible and ~sickening. 1t is crimes like
these that are stirring the American
blood to the boiling point in indigna.
ton over the weak and spineless pol.
icy OF the State Department. The
Vera Cruz horror was reported to the
State Department. but II was the
same old story OF nothing has been
done except perhaps that the
lamps OF "watchful waiting" were
trimmed to a little brighter glow. II
Is no wonder the weakness Of the
State Department has tried the pa,
tience Of red bIooded Americans be
