AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS

II was a foregone conclusion that
the president would call a special
session OF congress TO deal with the
issues OF great moment now pending
and likely to arise. says the Atlanta
Journal. Tho purely legal and ad-
illustrative problems of armed neu-
trality could be handled easily enough
by the executive department. There
is no debatable question concerning
the presidents authority to provide
merchant ships with arms for defense
and. II need be. to give them naval
convoy through the U-boat danger
zone But these and other measures
of protection for American interests
require special funds which only con-
gress can provide. Furthermore. 1t
Is not improbable that German piracy
and ruthlessness. in their aggressions
upon American rights. may commit
some outrage so unbearable as to de
mand instant and conclusive action
from congress.
Besides matters OF pressing import
in problems of immediate defense,
there is mass of sorely needed leg.
islation which failed of passage in the
stormy eleventh honrhof the proceed
ing congress. vitality Important APP
propriations for the army and navy
remain to be passed: for the time be
ing the preparedness program Is held
in allowance. or at least Is threatened
with delay. vtcany important billie
to extend the powers of the federal
shipping board and to provide add
tional facilities for the national bank
ing system remain 20 be passed. The
Webb bill. designed 20 protect ant
promote our foreign commerce, in the
stressftn years that will follow tn,

DANGEROUS srRAWe.

There can be no doubt about the
United States having a serious prob
lem on hand watching German spies
IN this country. The real German.
American citizens are perfectly loyal,
and can be depended on TO the last
notch. They have never had any
other thoughts than those consistent
with their American citizenship. But
there are hundreds OF Germans scat
tered through the country who are en-.
gagged in plotting. Ever and anon the
government turns up the evidence
that indicates this situation.
Just now 1t Is noticeable that hun
dreds Of Germans In this country are
getting their passports and are going
to Mexico. Why pto Mexico?@ The
Mexicans are not LOOKING for anyone
unless he can help them stir up trou.
BILE, and In view OF the Zimmerman
letter II is not hard to tell what the
German would, think should he do
when he gets to Mexico.
Germany realizes that she cannot
send soldiers to this country in case
OF war. but she is bent on giving us
all the trouble she can in Cuba. Mex.
leo and othtk places where she can
reach ns.
The Panama canal should be most
carefully guarded for there is where
an enemy would first strike. Our mu
nitions factories should be kept under
the strongest guard. The water sup
ply OF the big cities should be looked
after with double care. All this is
no doubt being done. but II it is not
being done, II should be at once.

DELAYED TOO LONG.

The administration has acted with
great wisdom in placing first, second
and third class postmasterships un.
der civil service system. This means
that aspirants for these places will
hereafter have to undergo competi.
tive examinations. 1t should mean
that the best qualified man should get
the Job. but even in the civil serv-
ice, there are loopholes. The system
is not yet one of sheer merit.
One of the best features of the pro-
posed change is that thereby the pres
ident will be relieved of the work and
worry incident to the appointment
of grand army of postmasterships,
II has been almost criminal to bother
the chief executive with matter of
this sort President Taft protested
vigorously against the inroads on his
time and attention worked by the pile
of petty appointments always on his
desk.
Under the now plan. nominations will
be sent to the senate "a in the past.
but in making the selections the pres
ident win be guided by the result of
examinations and will send in the
names at the head of the lists.
The change Is in the interest Of
the public service. The president
and the postmaster general should
stand by their guns and refuse to
curtail in any way the scope OF their
decision.

rHs REAL ISSUE.

II the action OF the small group oI
senators who blocked action on the
presidents armed neutrality bill &C
tually kept MS out OF war. a popular
vote OF the nation would unanimously
sustain them. This vote would be
lost largely by an unthinking public.
The only thought In their minds
would be the fact that we had been
kept out of a terrible war. The real
issue in the controversy between the
majority and the insurgents OF the
senate would be lost sight Of by these
people. The offense committed by the
"unlucky thirteen" was their blocking
the will OF the majority. Our coun,
try is where the majority, rules. Our
legislators are chosen by the major
fly of the voters in their districts or
states. When organized into the con-
gress OF the United States they con-
stitute governing body where the
majority opinion. right or wrong, is
the expressed will OF the ruling body
OF the nation. This Is a fundamental
principle OF democratic government,
1t is an absolutely essential condition
TO successful democracy Take this
away. our government fails to, be, a
democracy we are at the mercy 81
any individual or group Of individuals
representing who knows what SIMS
ter influences. which desires, for rea-
son patriotic, OF, treasonable, to block
the supreme administrative power Of
the United States.
A'wave of condemnation is sweep.
ing the country, denouncins these
senators In no uncertain terms. This
is a sure proof that American patrio-
rism 10 neither dear nor sleeping. But
this is not the time for denunciation
II IL time for action, action which
shall make impossible O repetition Of
this disgraceful procedure which has
left our country inpotent and CON
temptibie before the world. Let the
president summon special session
of congress-. Let the patriotic ssna-
tors, who constitute the vast major
ity OF our senate pass without delay
a rule limiting debate in the senate
when IL shall be demanded by two.
thirds majority. then let them clothe
the president with authority to pro
tect the lives OF American citizens
and the honor OF the United States
on the high seas. This can be done.
and until IL, is done, dark cloud
which conveys to the world a sin
lister imputation which we shudder
TO express, will cast its shadow on
the fair name of the highest govern
ing body of~the land.
