Mr.. Campbell said there was nc
contention that trust company rights
were necessary to the administration
of government affairs or an essential
part Of national banking business. He
added that 1t was not banking bust
ness, and as a result of all this the
action Of Congress could not be sus-
tanned by the theory of implied pow
ers.
Furthermore, he said, a search OF
the constitution failed to show any
thing which gave Congress the author
.ty to confer on national banks. or
any other corporation the rights OF
trust companies.

is ovER-ACCLAIMED.

The friends OF the present Demo
cratic administration are prone TO
make much out Of the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson has kept the country out
of war. as IL IL were a superhuman
achievement. something that never had
been done before in the history OF the
nation. The truth Of the matter is
that President Wilson came nearer
precipitating this country into the Fu-
ropean conflict than most OF US care
to recall. However. three Presidents
were confronted with the same men
ace as that which President Wilson
has faced. and why should the latter's
escape be heralded so i%nsistently?
In 1853 Franklin Pierce. a Democrat.
was President. The Crimean War be-
gan then. For more than three years
Great Britain. France. Turkey and
Sardinia fought Russia. President
Pierce maintained a In 1871 the
Franco-Prussian War broke out. Gen.
ersl Grant. a Republican. was Presi-
dent. He kept the peace. 4 few years
ago the Busso-Japanese War present
cd similar questions OF neutrality and
the rights Of neutrals. Theodore
Roosevelt. a Republican. was Presi-
dent. He. too. kept US AZ peace.
Why should Pierce. Grant or Roose-
welt have involved Us in any Of those
past wars Of the Old World Why
should President Wilson involve US
In the present European War? Other
Presidents did only their duty then.
Il is equally President Wilson's duty
now There is no more reason Why
the President should enter into war
now than tho Presidents named in
other years.

brino, snaky; ~culebrona, a woman
with the guile of a serpent. and half
a dozen other d%erivative words carry
into various secondary meanings the

stealthly motion and audiences and
ueachery Of attack.
The Culebra Cut was well named.
Inc name was officially changed
