senger
No doubt large majority OF sen
ators and congressman favor policy
of issuing a warning to American citi'
zens to refrain from riding upon
armed vessels, hut President Wilson
says that it would be humiliating to
issue such an order and his influence
seems to be sufficient TO cause the
congress to.refuse the passage OF such
a resolution. If the policy of the pres
ident is to obtain and the United States
is to make the killing of an American
citizen riding on an armed merchant
vessel an excuse for war against q
nation who employs q submarine in
attacking the vessel, then none can
tell how soon we will be embrOiled in
war, because there is no question but
what within a very short time the
dispatches will herald the report that
q submarine has attacked and sunk
an armed vessel on which an Ameri'
can citizen had taken passage \and
lost his life in consequence of theNat'
tack of the submarine.

SPEAKS WELL FOR BANKS.

This has been a record breaking year
for the banks in this locality. Never
before has there been such an amount
of business transacted on the first OF
March as this very years. 1t seems
to be the practice of the farm
ers of the county and other dealers in
land in selling their farms to provide
for settlement on the first Of March
each year and, as the land in the coun
ty becomes more valuable, the settle
ments grow in Importance. These set
Elements are usually made through
the banks and never before have there
been such large and important trans
actions as this year. 1t argues that
business must be active and that there
is plenty of money to enable business
to be transacted. While the banks
have never carried as large transac'
tons before as this year, their re-
sources are such that no trouble has
arisen to secure money to carry out
all OF the important sales and settle.
ments which We're to be concluded on
the first Of March. 1t not only speaks
well fsr the banks, but it speaks well
for the farmers of the conntythat they
are able to command the good prices
they do for their farms when sold.

INFLUENCE OF EXECUTIVE

Tho situation in Washington has
or own to be one of embarrassment to
the people of the country and we fear
that it is all because matters have lot
been/handled with the judgment and
good faith that should be shown in
matters Of this kind. President Viii
son has assumed that the entire, af
fairs of the nation are in his hands
and that congress must do his bidding
Which, we believe, is a mistake on the
part~of the executive. Every student
of government appreciates that, under
the constitution OF the United States
the three great departments OF the
government, the legislative. the ju
dicial and executive. shall remain in
dependent of each other. The execu
tive has no more authority. under The
constitution, to dictate to congress
what it shall do than congress has tc
dictate to the executive what it, shall
do, and when President Wilson pre-
sents program to congress and de
mands that it shall be carried out, he
certainly is doing violence to both the
letter and the spirit Of the constitu
ton: Il.
So far as our foreign affairs are con
cerned, congress might just as well

ad journ and the members return to
their several homes. The president
assumes a responsibility which thought
full men do not believe the constitu
ton imposes upon him and when he
undertakes to drive congress into
adopting q course which is not free
hnd voluntary he is doing violence to
his duty as president.
There is a widespread belief that II
the members of the United States
senate. few days ago, in taking ac'
ton which it took, on the resolution
of Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, had
been left, free to act without the influ
ence of the executive, they would not
have taken the action which they did
take. The same was true of the
house. The influence of the president
was eXerted, and no doubt effectively
to bring about the vote recorded in
that body. We fear that republican
leaders who fell under the influence
of the executive will not be able to
justify the course they adopted. The
members from the middle west were
generally lined up against the presi
dent, but the eastern statesmen and
those from the south were whipped
into line for him.
