PRESIDENT WILSON
MISSES A CHANCE

BY his signature Of the forty
two million dollar river and
harbor bill, the President has
missed a brilliant opportunity
to rebuke the pork-1lunters of
Congress, and to establish a
national policy Of waterway
Improvement. He has preferre,
to take the easier way, and to
approve the enormous wastage
of public money involved in that
vicious measure.
Some day we shall have a
President big enough and stron
enough to interpose his consti-
tutional II forbid" on such an
occason.
The impulsion toward pork
hunting on the part Of the indi-
widual Congressman, and even
on the part Of a Senator, is
very strong. 'As Senator Sha.
froth Of Colorado said in the
senate recently, "Nhef' st thing
that is asked Of Senator or
a representative, when he re-
turns from a session of Congress
is, How, much did you get fol
us!' and in State legislation
it is, How much did you save
for us?'"
But the President has a
wider constituency. He repre-
sents the whole Country and
all the people. He should have
a broader outlook, and a more
importunate care, for the Nation
al interests as opposed to mere
ly local interests. The river and
harbor bill represents, from the
National point Of view, a large
amount Of pure waste. Part Of
it is good, but the whole system
is wrong, unreasonabley and de-
moralAng.
Congressman Frear Of Wis
cOnan has the rlghttrdea, the
creation of an expert board to
consider each project in its re-
lattion to all the others. Such
a board could coordinate the
work, and prevent the wanton
waste that now goes on.
The public sentiment against
the pork barrel n National ap-
preparations is growing rapidly.
The bill passed the Senate by
the narrowest Of margians. 1t
is too bad that Mr.. Wilson fail
ed to seize his chance to en-
force the adoption of the Frear
plan by a courageous veto of
the present nefarious bill.-

and in a large measure, is not
satisfactory to them. The most
striking instance is the Nom
Partisan nominees for the Su-
preme court. It is strongly urged
that they are men but slightly
learned in law neither Of them
having any judicial experience,
and but a mere nodding ac-
quaintance at the bar of the

the record Of decisions, and his
theory Of the law applicable to
the question involved in the

are that neither would know how

write an opinion which did not

unfortunately named by men
wholly unacquainted with the
bar of the state, or the ability
and fitness of the nominees in

this most all important position.
Doubtless the persons responsible
for these aspirants for judicial
honors were as ignorant and as
little able to- know the require

necessary in a Justice Of the Su-
