Delay Is Inevitable


said the President was becoming slightly
sarcastic with some of his Cabinet officers
and other associates in the big business of
war, and that he was also irritated at Con-
gress. one report obtaining wide currency
was that the President was beginning to
object TO the manner in which Congress
was "thrusting power" upon him. In Con-
gress itself this report, in view of the con-
slant demands from the Administration for
authority-authority which some of the
members have held TO be greater than that
conferred upon the Kaiser"-was not given
full credence; first, because of the tre-
mendous power already transferred to the
President and through him to his immedi-
ate war councillors, and second, because
of the Administrations pet measure the
food dictatorship bill which several mem
hers OF the Sent .e, at least, have character
lied as the limit of autocracy
Regardless of executive irritation, how
ever, Congress has resigned itself to its
fate and is preparing now for a long session.
It has begun to deal more philosophically
than ever with the problems ahead of IT,
The House passed the Administration bill
10 prevent trading with the enemy in desul-
tory fashion, and arranged TO take up the
aviation bill, over which It does not expect
70 daily long. Next week, the burden being
upon the Senate, the House will probably
begin a series Of three-day adjournments TO
prevent the introduction of new business
IL will thus wait for the Senate 10 catch
up.
Some members are beginning to think
the food bill and the tax bill will be sum
cient TO keep both houses here all summer

Two hundred psychiatrists and neu
Biological specialists are carefully exam
lining every American soldier for signs
of any mental disease which would drive
him insane in action but which ordinary
medical examiners would overlook.
Among British troops, where the fore
handed wedding out was not done, Major
Bailey declared one-seventh of all dis
charges are due to mental or nervous
disorders.
The diseases for which these sanity
specialists look include mental defects,
epilepsy, psyehopathic personality, begin
ming or potential insanity and diseased
conditions of the central nervous sys-
tenn. Many of these borderland cases,
Major Bailey said, were discovered just
before the men were to have sailed for
France

Time for a Change

The most thankless job in the
city, according to the views Of
the present incumbent, is the
position of city marshal Of Baxter
Springs. He is expected to en-
force the ordinances and preserve
the peace, but, strange as it may
seem, he is often criticized and
condemned as soon as he attempts
to compel obedience to the laws.
He is always wrong in the eyes OF
the law breakers and is accused
Of spite work and graft.
The practice in this city now
and the one that has obtained
here for years is to allow the
marshal a part of the fines collect
ed as his remuneration, in lieu Of
paying him a regular salary no
arrests no pay. This fee system,
Mr.. Horton thinks, is the cause
Of. m0st@sof the unpleasantness
connected with his duties as city
marshal. He insists that the
marshal should be paid a fair
salary and that all fines should
be turned over to the city. In
that case the officer will be saved
from a lot Of SANDER, since NO
one then can have the slightest
reason for accusing him of max
ing arrests just to get the fee.
Mr.. Horton is right. The fee
system as practiced on him is
anticipated and unfair and under
it good and effected policing of
our city cannot be expected.
What has been made to do" in
years past while Baxter was q
sleepy village, will not answer
now. Baxts0 is attracting all
kinds of new people, bad among
the good; and we need good and
effective police protection; and
