restrained from acting as a new an.

In granting the temporary order,
Judge BabcOck indicated that he de-

possible moment, In order that shouId
bond issues be needed they would not
have to be held up pending the de-
termination of their legality.

A LEADER WHO LEADS

Every true American heart must
have swelled with pride and satisfac
ton over the soaring sentences with
which President Wilson enunciated
our country's creed in the existing
stress of circumstance. Let Senator
LaFollette sulk in his seat while
every other senator and every repre-
sentative within sound of the presi-
dents voice arose to applaud his no
BILE words There was one Judas
Iscariot among twelve-one Benedict
Arnold among less than four score. so
that only one now found among five
hundred is a distinct gain for the
twentieth century,
The firm, consistent and powerful
ly stated position of the president as
to the war Will not only give strength
and purpose to every loyal soul at
home and abroad but Will afford "a
complete answer-the one for which
this world was waiting-to the Lans-
downes upon one hand and the Ger
man Machiavellis upon the other. His
grandest paragraph, to which all pres
ent, save one, responded, has been
and viii be quoted as shibboleth; an
other, not so striking but equally con-
elusive. can not be read too often nor
remembered too we'll 1t is as fol-
lows:
Let there be no misunderstanding
Our present and immediate task is to
win the war and nothing shall turn
us aside from it until it is accom-
plished. Every power and resource
we possess, whether of men. of money,
or of materials. is being devoted and
will continue to be devoted to that
purpose until it is achieved. Those
who desire to bring peace about be-
fore that purpose is achieved / cOun
sci to carry their advice elsewhere.
We will not entertain it. We shall I
regard the war as won only when the
German people say to us through
properly accredited representatives, !
that they are ready to agree to set
Element based upon justice and the
reparatiOn of the wrongs their rulers
have done"

"PORK BARREL AND
USURPATION."

1t is not surprising that congress
men educated under the pork barrel
regime should take violent exception
to the suggestion of President Wilson
that it return to the former practice
of initiating and preparing all appro-
priation bills through a single com
mittee. In the early days of the re-
public the question whether or not
public money could be constitution
ally spent for internal improvements
was not settled Many great states
men thought that such course was
impossible. Relative to interstate
public highways and canals. the pre-
cursors of the great railroad systems
for the carrying on of trade, there was
much dispute. jefferson. leader of
the strict constructionists favored the
idea on its merits, but thought that
the constitution should be amended
to specifically permit appropriations
for the purpose, and vetoed measures
on the constitutional ground that no
such improvements had been provid-
ed for in our fundamental law-while
regretting the, as he construed it, i'm
piled inhibition on such disposition of
public funds. Hamilton, and later
Henry Clay. favored such improve
ments and held that the constitution
permitted the use of public money for
the purpose. The courts eventually
interpreted the constitution accord
ing to the principles of the last nam
ed school Up to the time when the
matter was clearly settled in favor
of the legality of such use of public
funds, there was no question about
the advisability of having all appro-
priations originate in the appropria-
tons committee. But when the mod
est spring had grown into a mighty
river; when every western railroad
had reason" for assistance and ev-
cry cross roads required" a public
edifice and every gulley demanded"
draining, it was found that the mag
nitude of the work necessary to handle
these with other matters. which also
called for greater sums of public
funds, was much greater than in the
early days, so it finally came to pass
gradually that a large proportion of
appropriations originated in other
than the appropriation committee.
That much OF the funds actually ex-
pended were put to the best uses and
resulted in untold benefits to the
people cannot be denied Still it is
equally undeniable that the whole pol
icy was so haphazzard and unscien-
tific as TO be unworthy of the name
system. "Log-rolling" of the most
shameless character was INDUCED in.
with the enthusiastic endorsement of
who were he~ee
les. 1t was a bad system that was
ound to grow worse. "The man who
