ADMINISTRATOR

In running debate which took place
in the United States senate last week
there was return to conditions which
existed in that body when George and
Lamar OF Mississippi, Hill of Georgia
Carlisle OF Kentucky and Garland of
Arkansas were members.
In these days the senate attracted
to its membership great lawyers. In
the years of bitterness after the Civil
war the minority members from the
south wrung from a prejudiced ma
jority the rights of their people thru
sheer ability, in starting the law OF
the land in such way that not even
partisan hatred could go against it.
In those days there were great law
yers from the north. Edmuhds of
Vermont, republican. who still lives
was famous. But if there were great
democratic lawyers from the south

Last week the old order of things

here arose a discussion over where

he power of the president begins.
there was argument on how much

ALLEVIATE to the executive certain things

certain objections were made by mem

very foundations of the constitution

sion became animated. For a time
there was clash of craftsmanship be-
tween republicans and democrats and
joined with the republicans were GER
tain democrats who have been motor
ious for their opposition to everything
that the president suggests. But the
discussion finally went to a plane
where partisanship was laid aside and
the law itself was only issue.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
differed from the views of Senator
Shields, and ably presented the case
as he saw it. But Senator Shields
dominated the body. He had carefully
studied the question, and traced the
history of the doctorine under con-

the government. He supported his
position by, line of decisions, and he
was familiar with other decisions that
were urged in apparent contradiction
