"Schoolmaster" Still Potent.

Senator Cummins, answering Senator Hard
wick's argument as to the unconstitutionality Of
the pending child labor BILL because it nvades the
sovereign power of the states, pointed out that
the realm of congress daily is being invaded by
the executive, who is personally directing legis-
atve acts, direct violation OF the constitution.
While the senator from Iowa was on the floor,
the president was calling into his Office house
conferees on the naval bill, and giving them in
structons, with the result that few moments
later it was announced that the bill will be re-
ported today, carrying the presidents program.
The inability Of the democrats to plan for the
good Of the country, or to carry out plans when
laid before them, is emphasized by this episode
Pledged to provide for the defense of the country
congress would have left the country defenseless
If left to its own methods of doing business.
Never has the country witnessed such an exhibit
ton of interference by the executive with the
functions Of the legislative branch OF the govern
ment. congress whose majority has been with
out leadership, driven to definite action only by
party expediency, can not escape the reckoning
the people will surely exact.

perpetrating an Injustice.

A case in connection with the Chicago post
Office administration brings to light practice Of
the Postofice department that is to say the least
peculiar. An employee was charged with an Of
Tense that would have secured his dismissal, had
he been found guilty. Full inquiry showed him
to be innocent Of the charge. However, he will
not be renstated in his position, because Of re-
cent rule that no employee Of the Postoice depart
ment who is accused Of crime, even if proven in
nocent shall be renstated The injustice Of this
scarcely calls for argument. In this instance the
charge was brought by postoffice inspector, who
failed to substantiate his allegation but the man
loses his place as foreman in his division just the
same. II the rule stands it will be easy at any
time to secure readustment of force by the simple
expedient of bringing trumped-up charge, de-
grade the man and set the favored one over him.
Postofice employees have enough to contend with
under ordinary circumstances, and should not be
made subject to this remarkable device for Sc
curing places for deserving democrats"

Holdrege, Neb., Aug. 6.--To the Editor of
The Bees Four years ago the battle-cry of
the democrats was the high cost of living
with the high prices given as proof and the
tariff as the cause. Then they took a turn
at the wheel and prices began to fall and the
boast was Just as in the nineties: "See what
we did" But in seventeen months from the
time they got hold Of the keys grain and live
stock took such slump on the market that
factories closed, imports were on the increase
with exports on the decrease, the trade bal

running away beyond its income with that
old time sign board with the regular blowed-
in-the-bottle trade mark of democracy de-
felt over our strong box. Then came their
chance Of escape. War began in Europe SO
they put on stamp tax and called it a war
tax when they had already added several
taxes to the list. Therefore prices began to
boost. but II It was spoken Of they said the
war caused it.
On July of this year. 1916, the World
Herald in proving 90 the democrats are the
sure cause of this prosperity cites the prices
of hogs on June 80 of this year as S9.57 per
hundred pounds and compares that with the

One Side Of Paroehial Quarrel.

Omaha, Aug. ITO the Editor of The
Bee: On July 81 / arrived in Omaha and
was requested by the members of the
'Roumanian church. located at Twenty-ninth
and 7 streets, to take charge Of the same I
have In my possession the necessary license
and documents. from the highest authority
Of the church in Roumania. emitting me to
take such position and Sfficiate as pastor Of
this church. On August one Rev. lie Pop
came here from St. Paul. Mimi, and began
circulating the report that he would make
me leave the city. Without authority from
the members Of the society, except four or
hve whom he seemed to have gotten with
him, on Sunday he forced his way into the
church and proceeded to denounce me before
the few people who were in the church, and
made statements derogatory to my character
which were entirly untrue. He stated that
had no authority to act as pastor of the
= church and many other things which were
without foundation in fact.
On Monday ! filed complaint against him
in court, but he evidently heard of the
charges and left the city. am therefore
writing this to give my side Of the story
inasmuch as ! did not have the opportunity
to meet him In court to compel him to prove
his charges. This same party, for reasons
which do not know. has attempted to inter
fere with my work in other cities. I am will
ing to meet him at any time on the charges
which he makes. I have the documents TO
fully prove my standing and right to act AZ
pastor Of any church Of this denomination.

OUR LEADER.

Our leader strong and brave;
Climbing to place and fame
BY deeds that true honor gave.
No blemish mars his record fair.
Clear and clean the path he's trod,
His righteous aim wrongs TO repair
And rightly serve man and God
No politicians tricks profane
The history OF, his great career,
Only methods honest and sane
He used his course to steer.
The party boss he ever spurned,
The place-hunter quick repealed,
But honest merit never turned
From the just rewards he held.

He sent ringing through the land,
Americas sons with one accord
Approve that slogan grand,
A nation prepared and efficient.
