The President Isn't T ampered.

In his address before the delegates to the cOnsttu
tional convention Queretaro, Gen Caranza, IN out
lining desirable reforms referred to the ACCESSIBILITY OF
making the national executive and congress independent
of each other the extent that the executive need not
be hampered by congress through the necessity Of OBJ
tanning its approval of his acts He stated that good
example of the undesirabity of executive being de
pendent upon congress is furnished by the United
States.
It is true that in this country legislation must be
passed by congress- If 1t is Of the presidents own
devising but the president most frequently gets what
re wants. particularly if his party is in control IN
both houses. MI. Wilson has been most successful IN
procuring the enactment into law of those measures
upon which he has laid most stress.
We are furnished with good example of that TACT
IN the passage of the Adamson bill providing ten hours
pay for eight hours work for certain classes of railroad
employees which would not have been passed by con-
gross had the president champoned the measure IN
most insistent fashion And that the president in
his message congress- has urged the passage OF add
onal legislation bearing upon the railroad situation

A Verbal Conflict.

Cardinal MERCER, prmate of Belgium, and Gen. Won
Bissng governor general of Belgium for Germany, are
fighting merry little verbal and then for their
own satisfaction keep the record straight It is
cardinal Merces part the aggressive to move
forward the attack and to lombard the representa-
tive of hated Germany with protests against Germanys
way of governing Belgium. 1t is Gen Bissngs part
to the defensive by seeking to justify Germanys
course and his administration Now and again
breaks the strife between the two and then hull
follows The cardinal and the general exceedingly
polite in their communications, and they to hate
each other with great cordiay It has been thus
since Germany established the administration in Bel
GUM.
Cardinal Mercers latest complaint has to do with the
deportation of Belgans labor in Germany, which he
regards unjustabe hardship and IN violation
of understanding said to have been given by Ger
many. Gen Kissing has replied that understand
ing has been violated and that anyway the deportaons
would have been justabe in view of the "andestine
emigration of large numbers of young men wishing to
Join the Belgian army"
Thus it goes and nothing is accomplished that
strikes best he IN behalf Of his own
country while the other defends in behalf of his.
One cannot but admire the courage of cardinal mer-
cier however, for while he might presume his cloth
would render him immune from the visitation OF personal
punishment, he has no to doubt that Germany
would be very glad to ind means Of ending his com
plants, once for all.

SOLDIERS GOT RELIEF
FROM SORENESS
Boys on the Border Relieved Their Pains
and Aches with Sloan's

Once upon a time Norman Jones, serv.
ing in the National Guard at FL Paso
returned to camp after a strenuous 10
mile hike foot-sore and leg-weary. He
had not been long in active service and
his shoulders, back and limbs felt the
after effects of marching.
Remembering Sloan's Liniment, Jones
applied it to the sore spots and went to
bed He writes: 81 arose the next morn
ing feeling fine; in fact | had entirely
forgotten about the hike and went out
for a four hour drill in the sun as spry
as ever"
Private Jones passed the experience
along. and many boy on the border re-
lieved the agony Of sprains, strains,
bruises. insect bites. cramped muscles,
rheumatic twinges, etc, by the use of
