Washington Correspondence.
L. j. HALL.

The Senate is trying to find out if
offices that the Constitution provides
shall be filed by the President by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate, can be filed by the President
if the Senate advises against and with
holds its consent. A committee has
the matter under consideration.
AS the Naval appropriation bill has
not yet been reported to the House,
the agitation for a largely increased
navy is still going on. The statement
that we are back number, so far as
offensive and defensive preparation
goes, is becoming hackneyed. Garden
and Lodge, both of Massachusetts,, are
the principal agitators.
The local papers, interested of
course in an extra session, are trying
to show how it will be utterly impos-
sible to pass the appropriation bills
and enact other absolutely necessary
legislation, by March 4th. Their
columns are filed with stories of fric :
tion between the President and the
Senate. 1t would be hard to deter
mine how much truth there is in them.
News from all parts of the country
indicates that the people very gener-
ally endorse the action taken by Presi-
dent Wilson regarding the search OF
American ships by Great Britain. The
American people would back a per-
emptory demand that it be stopped al
once. 1t is thought that another note
is in course of preparation, and that
it will be more explicit and decisive.
The rival factions in Mexico are still
carrying on guerrilla warfare, and
will very probably continue to do sc
indefinitely. The country it would
seem, should be almost devastated
But II one would read the files Of the
newspapers of the years 1s43 to 1s46
he will be struck with the similarity o.
conditions and happenings of ther

The ship purchase bill, designed tc
build up our merchant marine, is meet

1t is probable this measure will fail,
although it is said that the President
is determined that it shall become
a law. The opponents of the measure
insist that this is an inopportune time
for the Government to purchase yes

great war power rather than a great
commercial nation.


Some meddlesome people are trying
to stir up trouble by stating that there
is an organized effort to discredit
President Wilson. There is no doubt
whatever that there is such an effort
being made, but the Republicans are
making it. Some would-be wise ones
pretend to see the hands of Champ
Clark's friends in a propaganda
against the President, whereas, as a
matter of fact, the Presidents best
supporters are Clark and his friends,
and there is no doubt about the Presi-
dents knowing it. No President has
ever had abler or more unseltish
champions than President Wilson has
in the leaders in Congress.
The woman's suffrage amendment
resolution will probably be disposed
of by Congress before this letter is
printed. In our opinion it will meet
the fate of the resolution to submit a
prohibition amendment. We do not
believe it has ghost of a show to
pass either house of Congress. With
out undertaking to argue the question
we venture the statement that the
people of this country are going tc
wake to the fact that they have toe
much Federal Government, too many
Federal laws; that Federal courts
have too far-reaching jurisdiction;
that the rights of states are too much
restricted. Better go slow in sur
rendering the rights of the states
States would better hold on to all the
rights they have under the constitu-
ton and contend for those about
which there is doubt.

The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1915-02-04
WHAT GOVERNMENT is FOR

Within the last few weeks there
has been turn for the better in the
business world. The first harmful
effects of the world war are passing
and normal conditions are beginning
to reappear. Some dissatisfaction
of course, will always exist. A few
days ago, for instance, something
happened which illustrates the blind
and selfish views which some bust
ness men hold. A Milwaukee man
WAS damning the government be-
cause he is not making SO
much money as he did II
few years ago. But you
are "a rich man." he was told
and you still have a very large in
come" This made him more furi-
Gus than ever. Il tell you the Uni
ted States is going straight to des-
truction," he vehemently asserted.
1t developed that law that had
given him special privileges had been
modified, and for this reason, he
thinks, or says, that the government
is failure. When government en-
abled him to exact tribute from an
innocent third party, the people, the
government was his friend and
pronounced success, but when gov
eminent stepped in and lifted at least
portion of this unjust burden from
the shoulders of the people, govern
ment in his opinion, became worth
