has won his fight in the courts for
full United States citizenship. The
court ruled that Hertz, having filed
his first papers before the declara-

precedent which will affect a large
number of others.

WASHINGTON NOTES
A Mans Man

The finest example of faith in lead
ership which has been exhibited to
this country since the Civil war is
contained in the news that Theodore
Roosevelt, without the blare Of a
trumpet or the boom of . drum, has
an army of 100000 men, the flower
of his country, at his beck and call,
eager and willing to take the measure
of the Huns on the battle-ground of
Europe. That is better than the en-
tire administration with its flamboy-
ant posters, spread eagle oratory, APP
peals to patriotism, bands, banners,
and braves has been able to accom-
plish since the troops were sent TO the
Mexican border. And the reason for
it is plain: Roosevelt follows speech
with immediate action. He says what
he means, and means what he says.
He goes no around but over obstac-
les. He is a mans man. 1t is a judg-
ment on the country for its action
last November that we have not more
such men as Theodore Roosevelt to
handle situation the gravity of which
we are only beginning to appreciate
Real Reason for Delay
There has been much criticism Of
the delay in Congress in bringing the
war legislation to a conclusion. Es-
pecially has this criticism been di-
rected against the committee on con-
ferences which dealt with the con-
scription bill; and its members have
been accused of hampering the Presi-
dent in his plans for the war. This
is unjust. The committee has had
no means of knowing what the Pres
ident's plans for the war may be. He
did not tell the committee, he did not
tell Congress, he did not tell the coun-
The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1917-05-23

try. He kept his own counsel and ex-
pected everyone else to do as he babe
them. He cannot justly complain #
congressman have not moved as he
would have them. In fact, if he finds
Congress slow-motioned, he should
know the reason. 1t is because there
is no recognized channel through
which the opinions of the President
and the deliberations of Congress can
be co-ordinated and made effective.
Such a channel would be offered by
the joint committee on the conduct of
the war which the Weeks-Madden res
olution calls for. The President has
shown the reluctance to have such a
committee named and he has thus far
been able to restrain Congress from
creating such a committee. He now
finds that it is easier to influence Con-
gress not to do something is the
force of inertia, political as well as
it is to influence Con-
gress to do something. If he would
only help procure the joint committee
he would find, somewhat paradoxically
that he would be able to have many
things done easily that now advance
with great difficulty.
Another Tune Later
The New York World estimates that
the banks of the country have saved
the government at least $1,000, 900 by
their free service in helping to place
the first installment of what Mr.. Nc
Adoo has christened the Liberty Loan.
The World bases its estimates upon
the commissions which were paid to
Jay Cooke for his services in floating
the bonds of the Civil war period; and
