GEORGE STEENROD FEENY

A sweet and gentle spirit passed to
its maker. when George steenrod
Feeny died last evening. While TO
degree expected. on account OF ad-
vanced years and accommodating infirm-
tiles: the death OF Mr.. Feeny will be
felt as a great personal loss through
out this community A native OF
Wheeling, who spent here over three
score and ten years OF youth and Wig
orous manhood. he made his mark,
not only for business ability and high
commercial integrity. but for a sweet
and sincere loveableness. that inspired
the warmest affection. His spirit vas
genial; his wit was kindly. and his
whole being radiated good will
Mr.. Feeny was a member Of one Of
the pioneer families OF Wheeling: and
ii may be truly said. was born a gen.
ueman; a gentleman in family posi-
ton, and breeding, but more truly in
the possession of every gentle and
knightly quality Of mind and heart.
In MS long business career, his name
was a synonym for commercial integ-
rity and fair-deallng. in his personal
and social relations. as husband.
father. neighbor. citizen. soldier and
churchman. he discharged faithfully
and bravely every duty that devolved
upon him; and It was his fortunate
lot TO command In return the warmest
affection OF those whom he protected
and served. Few men have enjoyed
the sincere personal regard OF so
many Of their associates. as Mr.. Feeny
did: and certainly few men ever so
thoroughly deserved such regard.
over the record OF long and use-
full life. may be written the simple
words:
He loved his fellow men.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL SCHEME

Another OF President Wilson's pet
schemes has struck a snag In the IN
favorable report Of Senator Pome-
rene. Of the subcommittee OF the Sen
ate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons. on the proposed Presidential
primary election law. President VIII
son recommended such legislation
over a year ago. but as the opposition
In his own party was so pronounced
he did not insist upon II. II was his
determination. however. to press the
matter on the new Congress. which
assemblies IN regular session in DE.
cember. and have the law I'm operation
in time for the Presidential election
next year. The question is in the
hands Of the Senate committee. and
Senator Pomerene. as a sub-commit-
tee. has been investigating the sub
3ect and he has reported to the Prcsi-
dent that, in his opinion. such legisla-
tion would be unconstitutional. This
decision is said 10 be a great dlsap-
pointment to the President. who had
hoped to put an end TO the delegate

Pomerene's contention Is correct. 70
places the President IN the very en-

character. Senator Pomerene points
out that under the provisions OF the
Constitution. each State appoints

SHIFTING THE BLAME

The defense OF the administration
FOR the tariff legislation that was en-
acted by the Sixty-third Congress is
that II was In response TO a
general demand OF the people
which was made plain In the
election OF 1912 II that Is the
best defense the administration Dem
ocrats can put up for the prime cause
of all our present evils. then they are
without argument. indeed. President
Wilson made the same claim for his
Ship purchasing bill-that the country
demanded Il. but surely there was no
vociferous acclaim OF that measure
heard outside OF the cabinet claquers.
There must be q feeling OF some doubt
about the boosted merits OF the Tn
derwood bill among the Democratic
leaders. else why should they try 10
shift the responsibility for its passage
on other shoulders?
Now. the truth OF the matter r..
the country was distinctly opposed to
the tariff for revenue only policy OF
the Democratic party. and so ex-
pressed itself at the polls at the last
Presidential election. Both Mr.. Roose-
Welt and Mr.. Taft. representing the
two wings OF the Republican party.
may have differed on other matters,
but both were unequivocally com
mitted to protective tariff. And
both were distinctly opposed 10 the
policies advocated by Mr.. Wilson. The
result OF the election showed that the
two Republican candidates together
polled about 10000 more votes than
the Democratic candidate received.
Does that support the claim that the
country demanded any such brand of
tarif legislation as was conceived by
the Democracy? The attempt TO shift

Il e. surprising 20 hear such an

Yet a. a recent dinner OF Am

Lansing u reported TO have spok-
en- a. follows. Il must say that
the emphatic opinions OF some or
our former representatives are
rather amusing. when one consid-
ers that they would never have
been appointed under civil ser
vice rules" The trouble is that
they. as well as other advocates OF
the system. start on wrong
premises. Chief OF these. think,
IN the Idea that an ambassador
or minister never acts tndepend-
entity. and MS only duty Is TO re-
peat words put In his mouth by
the department Of state, that he
has no more initiative than a
consular officer. Now that idea Is
quite generally believed. II II

corps would be just one thing.
The fact is. Il Is a fallacy. Sue

Judgment. as II always has. II Is
the man OF force, OF originality,
or personality, who becomes dis
unguished in the diplomatic ser
vice. on men OF that character the
success OF the dm,nistration's
foreign policies depends. They
must also be men who compre-
bend those policies. who are In
hearty sympathy with them. and
Who are enthusiastic and untiring

TO recall single diplomat In Of

would thus have been provided,
FOR the post he actually hled.
This. however. is aside from
the question. II does not seem TO
enter the mind OF Mr.. Lansing
