in Congress-. yet the President OF the
United States can reward or punish
them through the distribution Of pa
tronage.
Every President takes an oath OF
office to preserve, protect. and defend''
the Constitution OF tho United States
No President can interfere with the eX-
ercise of legislative power by Con-
fice--a violation rs direct and complete
as any other unlawful act by any other
officer Of the Government.
This species OF reward or punishment
than any other because it assumes a
character Of gentility due to tho patri-
otic reverence for the ofrice OF Presi-
dent 1t is so far below the conception
of lawmakers that no statute has been
enacted directly prohibiting it.
Cannot Punish President.
The special privilege seeker trying
to influence legislation by offers OF
reward to members Of Congress would
be fined or imprisoned. A President
who rewards those who support his
measures and Furnishes those who do
not. through distribution of patronage,
Is beyond the reach of law.
Placing the offices under the Civil
Service Commission Is not remedy.
The appointing power would still have
of the highest three on: the list. and
every person familiar with the opera
ton of the civil service knows that
there are ways OF evadinE even this
linn tation. The appointment can al
ways be made partisan. and frequently
so manipulated as to favor individuals.
Tho effective remedy is to destroy
the Federal machine and deprive the
President of his coercive power over
Congress by taking away the patron
age which is the essential Of both.
The people may mako some mistakes
in electing postmasters and other Of
ficers. but venture the prediction tina
selections made by the people win be
as satisfactory as selections made
by political managers. and VIC
shall have the added advantage
of a Congress free from domination
and a President compelled to depend
upon the efficiency of his Adminlstra.

| am, however happy to say that numbers of them
have nobly come forward and joined society. To
be sure, in every change be they pregnant
with blessings for the community, interested
persons will be always found to stand up and oppose
their progress and it is with us. Some concerned
in the manufacturing and retailing of deleterious
drinks cry necessarily against society. They

The Public Good

There is public good effected without some
individual injury being occasioned; the introduction
of steam engines, for example, put, necessarily many
hands out of employment; the railroad conveyances
have seriously affected stage-coach propretors and
those who had hackcoaches and cars to let out for
hire but the public is confessedy benefited by such
improvements. In the making and vending of spirits
and other deleterious drinks many have previously
made livelihood and a fortune. whilst not few of
them have been sufferers to a considerable extent.
