district, but which are irrevelant to
large questions of legislative policy.
The legislator himself is unable to
give consecutive and disinterested
attention to the question of legislative
policy, precisely because so much Of
his time is necessarily devoted to dis.
tributing among his personal and par
ty associates the sour fruits OF this
congressional encroachment on the
business of administration.
Congress, however, Is paying dearly
for its usurpation. OF late years the
presidency has been assuming a gen.
eral direction of legislative policy
which the trainers of the Constitution
hardly contemplated. The legislative
ineptitude of Congress created need
OF leadership in legislation which the
executive was driven to satisfy and
against which Congress revolts when
ever 1t can, but revolts in vain. mi.
tiative in legislation and in all ques.
tons of general, policy has passed to
the presidency, and this initiative is
more complete and authoritative con-
corning questions OF foreign than con.
corning questions OF domestic poll
cy. The President represents the ma.
ton in its dealing with other coun.
tries. Congress finds its extremely
difficult to resist any policy in relation
to foreign affirs which is proposed by
tho executive; and In fixing the respon
sib1ltty for the recent failure OF Con-
gross to rise to its opportunities and
responsibilities this partial disability
must be taken into account. Never
theless the ultimate disability of Con.
gress cannot be traced to any neces.
sary subserviency to the presidency.

In actual practice the attempt brings

veyors OF patronage and pork who

IT HoUGHTFUL people for some years in vague
way have been feeling of dissatisfaction with
the work of Congress In the past few months. par.
eulary Congress has been doing things that have bred
linsasness in the public mind.
Most people who realize that something is wrong are un
hble TO tell just what the trouble is Ii may be doubted
that even among who are regarded as authorities on
the complex science Of government there would be sub
santal agreement the underlying cause, although pae-
ideally all would admit that for some reason Congress
especially the popular branch is slipping away from the
position the wise who set up the government hoped it
would occupy.
In this connection The West Virsnian desires to call
attention to article taken from The New Republic this
counhys foremost weekly journal This article is reprint
ed in another column. The writer may not be absolutely
right IN all his conclusions, but apparent that he has
given the matter than cursoy consideration and he
writes ucdly and straight to the point 1t will at least
serve TO clear up of the haze which exists in the
minds of most Of when think of Congress- And that
ought to help little.
