PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS-

An ardent admirer of President Will
son, reviewing in the Atlantic Monthly
the record of his administration, lays
special stress upon what he has done
to entranch the presidential initiative
in law-making and the presidential
domination of the work Of congress.
Speaking of Mr.. Wilson, he says that
"he conceives ii to be the presidents
duty to take an active part in shaping
the details of legislation, in promoting
action and enforcing party discipline"
and ventures this prediction that ut
will be practically impossible hereaf-
ter for anyone who takes Office as pre-
sident of the United States to pretend
that he can acquit himself of his leg
islative obligations merely by request
ing congress to take matters into
consideration This statement that
the president is coming to supplant
congress, If he has not already done
so, in the making of the laws may per-
haps be overdrawn, but, if true, n
has transpired without the people full
ly orealizing it. Unquestionably, we
now have a stronger centralized pow
er in the national executive than any
one ever before read into the constitu-
ton. The strange part of it, too, is
that the height of this Capitalization
should be reached by democratic
president representing a party which
has always preached decentralization
and posed as special guardian Of the
of government powers as
between the lawmakers, the pudic-
larry and the xecutive.-Omaha Bee.

HOW CONGRESS WASTES TINE

Lack of time" the incessant ex-
cuse OF congressman for falling to at
tend to business OF Importance, is
completely dissolved in the statlsti-
cal acid-bath In which the National
Voters League bulletin exhibits the
record of Congress from December 6
to April 20.
In that period, nearly FIVE months.
Congress completed 100 bills. Two
were for buildings, eight concerned
patronage. seven were private claims.
fifteen we're on various matters, thir-
ty-one were bridge permits, 6H were
private pension bills. Only twelve
we're national measures, and of these
four were urgent deficiency bills
which would have unnecessary had
the public business men done enc
iently.
Eight out of 72O bills is the net rec
ord OF work for the nation as a whole
in fve months. All the rest, 7Os bills,
pertained in one way or another to
personal. local or partisan interests.
And as the record has been 30 Il con-
tinues. In the House = h3od
control bill. and In the Senate the riv-
or and harbor bill, both more or less
poroine and the latter 1agrantly so.

81 DID RAISE MY BOY TO BE A
SOLDIER"

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion is printed an abstract from the
letter OF a minister's wife in the Mid
die West She says:
81 did raise my boy to be a soldier
If his country or his country's God
needs him Tor them; have three.)
MY father was a minister of the
Gospel. He was also a Union soldier
in the Civil War II is our proud priv
ilege to point TO two great-grandfath-
ers and one great-great-grandfather
who fought in the Revolution For my
boys my great ambition is that they
shall be soldiers of the King of Peace,
actively engaged in bringing in the
reign Of righteousness on earth. But
il the nations OF earth are still so I'M
christianized and so uncilized that
they have regard only for the god Of
war, then shall be proud to give my
sons in the defense OF our nation,
should war be thrust upon us.

SWAPPING MARKETS

The theory Of those who oppose
protective tariff is that the United
States can proceed by opening it's own
market to foreign importations and
thus obtain a larger share OF the for
eign markets In other words, by
permitting foreigners to import their
goods on a large scale into the United
States this country will obtain recip-
rocal advantages from the nations
thus favored.
The present enormous foreign trade
Of the United States has been held up
as proof Of the theory the the opening
of the American market will newt
ably result in a larger foreign trade.
The theory crumbles when II Is real
lied that American manufacturers
have been able to keep their mills run
ming to capacity. When there is do
nestle depression even the foreign
trade falls or II is only by preserv-
ing all the advantages of domestic
trade that sufficient momentum is OBJ
tanned to further the foreign trade.
But leaving theory aside, there is
ample proof Of the nearsightedness of
swapping the rich American market
on the mere chance that a large share
of foreign markets may be obtained.
This proof is to be found not merely
in the decline in the foreign trade fol-
lowing the enactment of the Under
wood tariff law, when the balance in
favor of the United States was wiped
out altogether, but II is supplied even
now in the character of the exports. A
recent statement of the bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce shows
that Europe's purchase of war mater
ials in the United States totaled $780,
900 900 at the end of the first twenty
months OF war.
In the single month of March more
than $50 900 900 worth of munition left
American ports. Shipments Of high
explosive shells and shrapnel are
crossing the Atlantic at the rate Of
100000 worth daily, and the vessels
are carrying half a million dollars
worth of powder a day. Firearms and
cartridges valued at more than $4,000
900 went to Europe in March. Thus
the bulk of the increase in foreign
trade is accounted for by munltion ex-
ports. In fact the entire increase in
foreign trade can be accounted for in
the same way. If it had not been for
the war the opening of the American
market would have had a disastrous
domestic effect, without the slightest
compensation in the form of an in
crease in the foreign trade.-Washing
ton Post.

RENOMINATING THE ULTIMATE
DEMOCRAT

Either Governor Fielder or Attor-
ney-General Wescott of the State that
so self-sacriicingly gave Woodrow
Wilson to the nation foru years ago
will probably make the speech nomi-
mating the President at the next ma
tional convention of the Democratic
party. On the 9th day of June in
1912 Judge Wescitt made at Baltimore
the presentation address on behalf Of
the Commonwealth over whose legal
affairs he now presides.
New Jersey, "once bound" he told
the delegates, was now set free by
"the moral energy and INTEL ctual
greatness of single soul"
"A scholar, not a charlatan; a
statesman, not a doctrinaire; pro-
found lawyer, not a splitter IF legal
hairs; a political economist. not an
egotistical theorist; pratical poll
tician, who constructs, modifies, re-
strains without disturbance or de-
struction; resistless debater and
consummate master of statement, not
mere phrase maker; the ulti-'
mate Democrat. the genius of liberty
and the very incarnation OF prog
ress."
What imp of mischief guided the
distinguished speaker in his choice
of adversative clauses, dictated the
"nots" and "withouts"? Not o doc-l
trinaire, not a theorist, not d phrase
maker. indeed!
When the lightning flashes and the
thunder roars again, next month, we
venture to suggest to the Hon. John
W. Wescott of Haddonfeld, an edi-
torial operation in his final fligh: OF
eloquence from peak to peak the rat
Ting crags among" amending ambl-
guilty of the peroration:
New Jersey appreciates her liver
