The Longest Way Round
Is the Shortest Way Home

Truly, these are times that try mems
souls-times, too, that try newspapers
that have no such things.
Particularly are these trying times
for standpat newspapers that are found
in the lingo class, exactly where we
would expect to find them.
1t happens that IL United States sen
ators and Is United States representa-
tives couldn't see their way clear to sup
port the president in his desire for au-
thority that is not contemplated by the
constitution Of our country, which has
vested this authority in congress.
whereupon one Of these standpat
newspapers rises to remark that said %
members of congress are (gr-r-r-r, bow
wow) mongrels. Yes, sir; mongrels-
And what is more they ought not to
remain IN congress.
So what does this standpat newspaper
propose?
II proposes-follow 1t closely, please
it proposes that ''the house and senate
rule upon their personnel" find them to
be undesirable citizens" and "deny them
the floor"
In other words, it is proposed that the
house and senate, respectively. grab each
one of these traitors" by the nape Of the
neck and seat of the pants and rush him
out Of the capitol and give him a gentle
push down the long stone steps.
These means our standpat friend pro-
poses, in lieu of what our standpat friend
could never find the backbone TO support
1T being a what-you' d-call-progressive
measure-the recall.

Whereupon Grand Rapids
Common Council Takes
Some Un-American Action

The bin asked of congress by President
Wilson to provide for armed neutrality,
as'introduced in the lower house, author
I'D the president to arm American ships
On the seas, and to use "other instrumen-
Utilities" in their defense; it asked, also,
1or sufficient credit for government in
surance Of these ships generally.
This bill, as passed by the house, elm
jnsted "other instrumentaIities, unques-
tionably because in the wisdom of the
members of the lower house, to have
granted the president such latitude
would have amounted practically, if
not actually, TO delegating to him author
ity which the trainers of the constitution.
In THEIR wisdom, vested solely in con-
gress.
The lower house frowned, also, on gov
eminent insurance of ships carrying mu-
nitions of war, and credit was author
xized for the insurance only of ships NOT
carrying munitions
Our lower house Of congress is con-
ceived to be and is nearer the people and
nearer public sentiment than the upper
house.
The tremendous majority by which the
bill eliminating other instrumentalities"
and eliminating munition ships from in
Gurance, passed the house, meant, IL our
government Is representative, that the
senate must pass 1t as it came from the
house, but the senate was not disposed
to give it any such treatment.
"Other instrumentalities" and govern
ment insurance of munition ships were
to be put back, in the senate bill. and
there is where President Wilson's pro-
gram encountered the opposition that
killed il.
Most of the blame for this opposition
has been put upon United States Senator
LaFollette. not because he was any more
strongly opposed TO the precedent of Civ
ing the president all this authority. but
because this particular senator never OBJ

[ofe Met By These Five
City Firemen Shows Grand
Jury Calling Is Justified

h view Of the fire on woodward-ave.
Sunday morning, which cost the lives OF
Ave- city firemen and in which three FIRE
men who were injured narrowly escaped
dsath, the calling of grand jury TO in
vestisate the department of buildings in
this city is most certainly justified.
II has been established that the walls
which fell and crushed the firemen TO
dsath were supported by joists which
hid rotted, and that crowds visiting the
stores In the building were in danger of
n,ssting ut any moment the fate which
thsse firemen met.
In the opinion of Assistant Fire Chief
NcCrsw. the floors fell from the mere
wsirht of the elevator machinery when
Il gave way, which gives us an idea Of
just how weakly supported these floors
must have been.
THIS fire has occurred and THESE
floors have fallen and THESE fremen
have been killed.
The horse has been stolen and we
have waited, in the instance of this
tragedy, to lock the barn door.
II Is up to US NOW, to establish how
e was possible for state of affairs such
q that revealed, to exist IN A CITY
THAT SUPPORTS A DEPARTMENT
