Wilson, Huerta and the Constitution.
"In all criminal prosecutions the
accused prosecutions the accused
shall enjoy the right to speedy and
public trial and to be Informed OF
the nature and cause Of the accusa-
ton; to be confronted with the wit
nesses against him." etc.
These are the words Of the Sixth
amendment Of federal constitution.
one Of the earliest amendments adopt
ed and one Of that group of amend
ments which were proposed in order
to perfect the instrument by provid-
ing enlarged securities for the indi-
vidual exposed to governmental ac-
ton. To preserve, protect and de-
fend" the constitution Is the chief
oath which the president takes.
Last July-the fourth Of July we
think 1t was-President Wilson
caused Victorlano Huerta to be ar
rested in Texas. He was there con-
fined, not in Jail. but in fort,
where he has remained without
speedy trial, the exact accusation or
the producing of witnesses which the
constitution provides.
This old Indian may be Of no great
consequence, as matters now stand,
to Woodrow Wilson or to the people
Of the United States; but the federal
constitution Is matter OF huge I'm

Similar Condition.

The first expression of Congress
sional opinion regarding foreign re-
lations came rather Unexpectedly in
the Senate on the day after Congress
reassembled. The debate turned
upon suggestion that Americans
should not travel on ships which fly
a belligerent flag and the most point
ed remarks were those in criticism
OF the administration for not issuing
a warning to this effect.
II was regarded as significant that.
while six Of the eleven senators who
spoke defended the president, only
two OF the six were Democrats
Messrs. Robinson, Of Arkansas, and
Reed, OF Missouri, neither OF whom
has ever been classed as real leader
in the Senate or In the party.
Experienced Washington commen-
tators find conditions now to be much
as they were In the last days OF
Cleveland's second term-the strong
men OF the Democracy hostile or in
different to the White House and
none but the "cuckoos" OF place
hunters doing reverence to the pres
ldent.

Democracy and "tl,e Massesu

Congressman Stephens, Democrat,
of Texas, must have strange con-
stituency, II his remarks in the house
Of representatives. recently, are
fair sample OF what appeals to them.
1.-THE Republicans favor the classes;
the Democrats favor the masses" he
said.
Does Mr.. Stephens forget that the
Democratic tariff legislation threw
1000, 900 OF the masses" out OF EN-
ployment in 1913-1914?
Does Mr.. Stephens forget that 1t
was Republican constructive legisla-
ton that restored prosperity after the
Cleveland administration?
Does Mr.. Stephens forget that the
Republican party passed the postal
savings bank bill with the opposition
Of the banks and with every vote
against it cast by Democrat. Will
Mr.. Stephens tell how he voted on
that measure?
Does Mr.. Stephens forget that Re-
publicans PASSED the pure food bill
to protect the masses, the parcel post
bill for the convenience Of the masses
and the reclamation law for the crea-
ton OF new homes for the masses?
VIII Mr.. Stephens advocate the re-
peal Of these measures passed by Re-
publican congresses?

Mi.take Acknowledged.

When the federal reserve board,
organized by a Democratic admins
tration on partisan lines, performed
its duty of establishing reserve
banks, it located banks at Atlanta,
Dallas and Richmond, ignoring the
commercial claims of New Orleans
and Baltimore.
In an effort to rectify the error
and accommodate business, branch
bank was established at New Or
leans. The latest report Of the
board says that the branch bank has
ALREADY justified its establishment"
which is a partial acknowledgment
that New Orleans should have been
made reserve bank city, rather than
made the site of a branch bank.
