TAKING,

The four leading railroad brother
hoods threaten to call a general
strike on all railroads of the country,
beginning on Saturday of this week,
if their demands are not complied
with. These brotherhood officials can
undoubtedly now appreciate the ia
miliar old patent-medicine cuts de-
picting the patient before and after
taking" Before the last election they
delivered their ultimatum and the
nation witnessed the humiliating spec
tacle of a subservient national admin
istration dropping all other business
and passing laws at their dictation.
Now that the election has passed,
there is no indication that their de-
mands are being taken seriously at
Washington.

FATES STILL WITH
DEMOCRATS

There is an element of luck that
enters largely into politics, as well
as all other affairs of life. The Demo
cratic party won the last presidential
election more by luck than anything
else, and their good fortune is evi-
IDENTIFY staying with them.
Since the election two Congressman
have died-a Democrat in New York
and a Republican in New Hampshire.
Ordinarily this fact would not be of
nationwide importance, but in this
case the organization of the next
house, which will be accomplished at
the special session called for April
16, may hinge on this incident Both
parties had 215 members, with five of
all other parties. In the case of the
vacancy in New York, caused by the
death of the Democratic member, a
special election will be held in time
for the new Representative to par
ticipate in the organization Of the
house. A successor to Representative
Sulloway of New Hampshire. how
ever, cannot be elected until the six
teenth day of April, It the earliest,
owing to statutory provision, which
will give the Democrats 215 votes to
PA for the Republicans.
Verify, tits better to be born lucky
than rich"

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrn being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Medicine is taken in
ternally and acts thru the Blood on
the Mucous Surfaces of the System
thereby destroying the foundation Of
the disease. giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.

NO DICTATORSHIP
DESIRED

DESIhED
In his demand for unlimited power
in dealing with foreign affairs, Presi-
dent Wilson furnished the strongest
argument in favor of an extraordinary
session of Congress. In his opening
sentence he declared that I'VE are
moving through critical times, during
which it seems to me to be my duty
to keep in close touch with the
houses of Congress. so that neither
counsel nor action shall run at cross
purposes between US" Later in his
address, as an excuse for asking
p~lenary power, he said that lit would
take an unusual time to assemble and
organize the Congress which is TO
succeed" the present.
Since the constitution vests in Con-
gress alone the power to declare war,
and since it is also true that We are
passing through critical times, dur
ing which il is the Presidents duty
to keep in close touch with Congress,
there is every a why the new
Congress should be Immediately con-
yened.
The demand for plenary power is
in direct conflict with the plain in
tent of the constitution, which ex-
pressly provides that when extraordi-
nary occasions arise the President
may v either or both houses
of Congress. Instead OF pursuing the
policy indicated by the constitution,
which he is sworn to uphold, Presi-
dent Wilson takes a course which the
constitution was designed to prevent
seeks TO supplant representative
government by establishing what
would be to all intents and purposes
a dictatorship.
Undoubtedly the President seeks
this with the highest motives. I'm
doubtedly he thinks he could run this
government better if there were no
legislative or judicial departments,
but all power were his own. As TO
the sincerity of his demands there
can be no question, but the wisdom
of his course will be questioned by
all those persons who still believe in
the superiority of the republican form
of government and who have not lost
confidence in the men they have
chosen to represent them in the SEN
ate and House of Representatives.
Europe is today embroiled in a wal
brought On as a result of centraliza-
ton of power. May America escape
that peril!

NOT EULOGIST OF
LINCOLN

This country has been surfeited
with bosh comparing President Viii
son with Abraham Lincoln. 1t is to
be observed, however, that the alleged
pocket edition of Honest Abe has
never sought al opportunity to pay a
tribute to the most essentially and
greatest American mind this country
has yet produced, although he is per-
ennially prepared to lay a wreath al
the feet Of Jackson or Jefferson. With

PLANNED DITCH FOR SAHARA

Al one time, some twoseore years
ago. some Englishmen proposed 20 dig
a canal on the northwest coast o.
Africa. south Of Morocco. TO admit the
waters OF the Atlantic into the Sahara
Desert. II was argued that a great
inland sea would thus be created and
that ocean vessels might steam into
Africa and pick up esrgoes along the
western Soudan, says THE San Fran
cisco Argonaut" This fine idea was
based upon the prevalent notion that
most Of the desert surface was much
below sea level. II was discovered
later that most Of the desert stands
high above the sea. The French, who
have been the greatest explorers OF the
desert. have corrected other false ideas
about the desert The most conspicu-
Gus and persistent Of these errors has
been the notion that the desert IS a
vast area of sand. The French have
proved that this 10 not so. In fact.
only about fifth o. the Sahara -
covered with sand.

PRIZE CLAIM OF SEAMEN
DISALLOWED BY ENGLAND

The British prize court has disaI-
lowed the claim for a prize bounty OF
10000 in respect to the destruction
Of the German fleet at Tsingtau, the
German fortress on the coast OF
China November I. 1914, says the
Coast Seamens Journal. The claim
ants were the officers and crews OF
H. NJ. S. Triumph" and II. NJ. 5.
"Usk," which took part in the opera
tons before the fort and harbor by
bombardment and blockade. During
September, October and November
1914, the military forces of Great
Britain and Japan operated against
Tsingtau, in the harbor Of which were
the Austrian cruiser "Kaiserin Eliza
beth and five German gunboats and
one torpedo destroyer. These vessels
were not visible to the two British
ships, which, however, bomoarded
them with the assistance Of a Japan
csc wireless observation station on
shore. 1t was claimed that as a re-
suit the Austrian cruiser was blown
up, and that crews Of the other Ger
man vessels sank them because they
knew that the British ships prevented
their escape.
