$1,000 RAISED BY
SALE OF FLOWERS
Society Women Meet Success IN
Aiding French Sufferers.

More than 81 900 was realised By
the sale of flowers yesterday by $50
society women for the relief Of
French mothers and children in tho
regained districts taken by the Ger
mans, according to Mrs. H. L. Rust,
chairman of the committee on ar
rangements.
with but the few days notice We
had OF the sale, consider the results
really impressive" said Mrs. Rust to-
day.
Had there been more time to pre-
pare. I have no doubt but that the
sale would have netted US twice as
much The entire success OF II was
due to the splendid cooperation OF
florists, the press. and the committee
OF matrons and young girls who as
sisted, and the public"
Some difficulty was experienced,
Mrs. Rust said, in getting a sufficient
number OF flowers. The supply Of
fieur-de-lis was early exhausted. and
the vendors had to resort to carna-
tions and other flowers to keep up
with the demand.
The proceeds of the sale will be
turned over to Nine. Jusserand. wife
OF the French ambassador. who will
transfer the money to the proper au-
thorities in France.

Foraker

The death of former Senator
Joseph Benson Foraker has hardly
created ripple of comment in these
days of great events. He belonged
to a political age that has passed. He
was the last of the leaders in public
life who capitalized his military rec
ord and the affection which the old
soldiers always displayed for their
doughty champion. Measured by
present day progressive standards,
he was on the wrong side Of most of
the questions now regarded as set
tied. His contest with Roosevelt
over the famous policies" was his
toric. But it should be said without
reserve that he was a fighter who
never knew what surrender or COM
promise meant and he maintained
his position with an eloquence and
vigor that made his antagonism
dreaded by his opponents.
As a soldier, as governor of a
great State, and as ohio's represen-
tative in the Senate for many years,
he played in his time no mean part.
One of his last battles in the Senate
was in defense of the negro soldiers
who shot up a Texas town. Of his
numerous colleagues in the Senate
who were veterans of the Union
army but two remain, Warren and
Nelson. New issues have taken the
place of the old, and the bloody
shirt is forgotten in the zeal with
which a united country presses
against a foreign foe. But a grim
fighter in many battles, military and
political, passed away when Joseph
Benson Foraker joined the majority.

Our Useful Ex-President

Ex-President Taft was at his best
in his address at the University Club
last night. He knew he was among
his best friends in this city and felt
at home in an institution Of which
he was the first president. His
humorous reflections upon the last
Presidential campaign and the pre-
ceding one, in which a republic
proved that it could not always Sc
lect the best candidate, gave renewed
assurance of the fact that he is the
best loser in America. His words Of
patriotism were really inspiring. And
when it was recalled that he has
been travelling over the country tell
ing the duty Of Americans, urging
the heartiest support Of the Presi-
dent, and justifying the war as one
against war, the league of nations to
enforce peace having already been
formed, there was left no doubt that
a mission has at last been found for
an ex-President which is Of the high
est usefulness to his country in this
time of stress. His concise review
of the United States as already a
Pacific power, a South American
power, and a West Indian power,
showed q grasp of present interna-
tional politics that was sure and con-
yincir1. A DISTINGUISHED COMPANY
Of Justices of the Supreme Court,
members Of the Senate and the Cab

greeted him. Mr.. Taft has proved

all personal and selfish aims and
sturdily going about the work Of
convincing the American people of
the worthiness Of their cause and Of
the sacrifices necessary to be made

Congress and the President

The latest vail about the declin-
ing influence Of Congress as COM
pared with that Of the Chief Execu-
tive comes from Congressman Camp
bell Of Kansas. He declared in eff
feet that Congress was taking its
orders from Hhigher authority" the
very expression indicating that the CO.
ordinate theory Of the Legislative and
the executive had slipped from his
mind. But his reference to the by
gone days Of the war of 1912 as an
example when a war was conducted
by Congress and not by the Presi-
dent was at least unfortunate. That
was a war in which, while the nation
won unexpected triumphs on the sea,
not a single battle on land was won
until the war was over, Andrew Jack
sons victory at New Orleans having
been won after peace had been ar
ranged, though the news of it had
not arrived in America.
If Mr.. Campbell will consult other
histories than those taught in the
schools and designed to fire the pa
triotism Of uninformed youth, he will
find that the militia raised and Of
ficered by Congress ran like sheep
before the British, that the Capital
was invaded and the Capitol burned,
and the war terminated most in
gloriously, save for the one redeem
ing feature at New Orleans.
The Constitution wisely makes the
President Commander-in-Chief of
the Army and Navy. In time of war,
the nation naturally turns from the
ordinary processes of democracy to a
military despotism, tempered by the
actual requirements of the situation.
Congressional interference during
the civil war constantly hampered
Lincoln m his military arrangements,
and the Mcclellan partisan diversion
was most unfortunate.
But Congress has its own duties
to attend to and time is lost in rail-
ing at Executive encroachments. The
financing of the war is properly the
work Of Congress and the enactment
of such legislation as the new situa-
ton demands, for the Executive can
not execute laws that are not passed.
What the country is rather impa-
tiently demanding from Congress
men in both houses today is that they
regard the great tasks of the war
from a national rather than from
provincial point of view, and that
they vote and act without unneces-
sary and time-destroying talk. This
In a Congress not a Parliament, an
assembling of minds for agreement
by a majority vote on great questions
and not a talk-fest. For a Con-
gresham TO be considering forever
the effect Of his action upon the SEN
timent Of his own district and thus
upon his own political fortunes is to
sacrifice the interests of his country
to selfish ends. And his own con-
stituents resent the taking up of so
much precious time in the effort to
explain to them his position. They
will judge him by his vote for the
country's interest without explana-
ton and when he votes wrong, no
amount Of apologetic speech will
avail him, however diligently franked
for their perusal
It is disheartening when visitors
to Washington in the galleries today,
themselves impressed with the vast
issues to be decided for their coun-
trybReal or woe, are given the spec

Jerusalem and the Turks

The suggestion that the Turks had
gained the consent of the Germans
to destroy Jerusalem, need not alarm
those who hold its holy places in
reverence. Jerusalem is a Holy
City to Mohammedans as well as to
Jews and Christians. 1t contains
not only the Church Of the Holy
Sepulchre and the portion of the an
cient wall of the Temple which
makes the Wailing Place of the Jews
a historic spot, but on the site Of the
Temple is the famous Dome of the
Rock, the celebrated Mosque Of
Omar, which ranks next to Mecca
itself as a sacred place in Moham-
medan eyes.
Any dispatches purporting TO come
from Europe and telling of Turkish
design to destroy Jerusalem may
be put down as concocted in the fer
tile invention department Of the
home Office of not overscrupulous
newspapers. The climax Of ignorance
is reached when it is affirmed that
the Turks have long desired a pre-
text to destroy the Holy City. If
the Mohammedans of the Turkish
race could conceive such an idea, it
would start the Holy War against
Turkey which Germany and her un-
savory ally planned against the Brit
ish. If fake dispatches have to be
framed, they should at least be en-
trusted to those who will prevent
their being made ridiculous.
