Let any person who believes that
congress is hampering the admins
tration consider what congress has
done.
1t voted war against Germany, al
though large faction of the presi-
dents own party was opposed to the
declaration.
1t has authorized, or is prepared to
authorize, the expenditure by the ad-
ministration this year of sum which
Senator Smoot reckons at $1,000, ,00O.-
O00
II passed. almost without dissent, a
most radical and unprecedented con-
scription bill.
1t has placed in Mr. Wilson's hands
the most autocratic power ever held
by president.
1t ras permitted him to seize private
property, commander supplies and
control means of transportation, place
embargoes at will upon exports, create
commissions to foreign countries, ad-
vance billions of dollars to foreign gov
ernments and appoint thouasnd of
government officials from private life.
AS an example Of the way congress
"obstructs." look at its handling OF
the aircraft appropriation. At the sim
pie request Of the administration, with
out explanation OF the details. con-
gress appropriated over $500 100000 to
be used in the construction of air
planes.
In fact. there have been only two
important instances where congress
has refused to "stand by" the presi-
dent. One was the censorship bill.
Congress opposed and defeated the at
tempt Of the administration to muzzle
the newspapers that are now denounc-
ing members of congress as vallan.
dighams. The other was the Lever
food bill. Here congress at first nc
more than resisted an attempt to set
up food dictatorship. OF course, the
opposition of some senators, particular
ly Reed of Missouri. passed all reason
able bounds. But the fact remains
that, il congress had passed such q
bill without the most thorough study
and discussion, 1t would have beer
false to its obligations.

sion until December, and he is right

THE NEW ARMY

So many harsh things have been
said regarding the present selective
draft war that 1t is well to consider
the views of well known thinkers Of
the world. From the Youths Com
panion we quote the following:
"The present war is something vast
er and more terrible than any war
that has gone before. It cannot be
waged by a small and highly trained
professional army; 1t -can not be
recruited and hurried into battle The
number of soldiers required is SO
vast, the ammunition needed is SO
enormous in amount. the strain on
the economic and financial resources
OF the belligerent peoples is so tre-
mendous that nothing less than the
prompt, complete and intelligent or
ganization of the entire nation for the
purposes Of war will serve. Everyone
who has watched the progress OF the
great struggle in Europe understands
that fact: that is why Congress found
It so easy to overturn the precedents

But in a higher sense the army thai

it's members the injustice to suppose
that they do not serve gladly. They
are a part of nation that has en-
rolled and volunteered in mass, every

select from those millions of volun-

Baseball seems to have given way
largely this season to the war game.
The smaller leagues are all reported
nearly on the verge of bankruptcy
and even the American and National
leagues have not enjoyed anything like
the crowds and gate receipts of former
years. The worlds series, which at
this stage of the season is usually a
household word. is not mentioned and
the magnates have even gone so far
as to talk of not holding the series
this year. This is doubtless going
too far. For man to play baseball
or attend a game. can do nothing
toward making the war in Europe any
more serious; can not succor the in

On the other hand, it will more prob
ably do the average American a lot
