TO DEMAND MORE POWER.

There seems to be no question that
before congress adjourns the presi-
dent will ask that additional power
be conferred on him to protect Amer
lean rights at sea If those rights are
forcibly contested by Germany in pur-
suance of her present policy. Accord
ing to the forecasts made additional
authority will be granted. though
there will be considerable negative
vote.
The granting Of the additional pow
or desired is desirable for two rea-
sons. First. it will make our govern
ment more effective than it can pos
sible be without the adoption Of a
measure of this character. Second,
the possession Of that power by the
administration will come nearer to
insuring peace than anything else that
can be done at this time
It has been said that action Of this
kind is not necessary because the
president has at all times the au-
thority to use the military and naval
forces for the protection Of lives
and property Of American citizens in
cases Of emergency That may be
true. Doubtless it Is true. in a meas.
ure. But in the present case the ex-
ercise of that authority means more
than the dispatch of company or
marines to restore order in a half-or-
ganized island republic or the pursuit
OF handful Of raiders across a bor-
der. 1t means war, and everyone un-
derstands 1t so. If attacks are actual
doubtless be made on the other side
of the Atlantic, where Americans
have a perfect right to be- and where,
in very many cases. it is necessary
for them to go in the pursuit Of their
ordinary business. To resist further
attacks it would be necessary to send
ships across the sea, under suitable
orders. and we would at once find
ourselves in a state of war Even If
the president has authority to do this,
1t IL only fair and right that the re-
sponsibility should be shared by con-
gress before the step is taken.
Since the German note Of January
81 and the following severance Of
diplomatic relations there has been
little real basis for any expectation
that we would be able to keep out Of
the war. But three weeks have
passed, and the act has not yet been
committed which, in the opinion Of
our government, makes forcible ac-
ton necessary. By premeditation or
accident Germany has thus far re-
trained from killing Americans. If
thls mas been due to premeditation,
and the impelling cause has been the
prompt action of our government in
severing relations, to confer such ad-
dltlonal powers on the president as
are necessary would have a further
restraining effect. Germany might
be tempted to play with the situa-
ton if. before the United States could
act. congress must be summoned and
the subject be debated at some
length But with the power to act
instantly already in the hands of the
president, placed there by a congress
which would then have gone ir-
reVocably on record. unless Germany
is determined on war, she would con-
duct herself with great care.
To give the president now ample
authority to deal with the situation
would be In the interest of effective
action, and would at least tend toward
the maintenance Of peace.

FRIEND NOT A MYSTERY

him daily into the places where men
throng. If one wants to know about
him through motives other than those
of the idleness of curiosity he can see
him and talk with him, and the
chances are that he will be told every
thing concerning the subject of his in
qulring curiosity that any man of
modest mien and inclination naturally
would be willing to tell. Colonel House
is q genial man who seemingly never
has sought to define for personal use
the meaning of either of the words,
coldness or austerity. He has sense
of humor well developed, and a tenn
peramental warmth.
Secret of His Power.
In Houston, Texas, in the year 1858,
Edward NJ. House was born. He was
educated at the Hopkins grammar
school, New Haven, Conn. and at
Cornell university. He has been active
all his adult life in Democratic politics,
but never has been candidate for Of
fee.
Add to these admittedly meager de-
tails one fact and unquestionGbly you
will have the secret of this mans pow
er to attract other men to him for the
purpose of consultation on really high
public matters. From the day that he
was old enough to undertake serious
study, Edward NJ. House has been deep
in the books of politics, economics and
legislation. He has marshaled in his
mind all the greater events which have
happened in these three words. More
over, he has the men, the things and
the motives connected with each case
constantly in procession before him.
He is quick to trace a cause to an ef-
feet, or to go the reverse route. He
has been a student of human nature
as it has shown itself in many of the
great problems of human life. This
means that he has in him, or at any
rate men believe that he has in him,
the qualifications which go to make
up a sound diplomat.
Through successive administrations
in Texas the governors of the state
one after another. consulted Colonel
The Colorado statesman., 1917-11-03

ingiy time enough has gone by ana
things enough have been proved or
disproved to give certainty to the
word that Woodrow Wilson has found
Edward NJ. House an advisory asset.
There hardly can be much OF real
mystery about man who twice since
this great war began has been sent
abroad as n special commissioner for
the president of the United States Col'
onel House has been twice In Berlin
five times in Paris, and frequently IN
other of the great European capitals
Some day 1t may be that Woodrow
Wilson will write what may be called
an photographed review of his ad-
ministration. If he does it is entirely
likely that the part taken by Colonel
House in the shaping of some of the
policies of the president may be given
the page place which many men be-
lieve that 1t deserves.
No Mystery There.
While living in New York Colonel
House resides in an apartment not
very far uptown. 1t Is homelike
place where good books are found and
where good friends may come. 1t Is
genial place and no curtain of mystery
hangs over the door of any one of its
rooms. Men go there and are well
come. They go and they talk. Man
learns as much from man as he learns
from books and more perhaps II we
believe the ancient saying about the
proper study of mankind.
1 asked Colonel House what his rec
reations are. He said, "Friends, read
ing and walking" His library shelves
show the kind of books that he has
read, still is reading and will continue
to read, for those in the book cases
are made the companions day by day
of the others as they come from the
hands of writer's worth while.
No man probably can read politics.
legislation, economics and history con-
stantly without getting some of DR..
Dry-as-Dusts characteristics. So 1t Is
that Colonel House does not read the
four formidables constantly. He turns
to fiction and here one finds something
of possibly more than passing human
interest.
George Frisbie Hoar of Massachus-
etts was one of the scholars in politics.
1t was said of him that he had read
everything from Aristophanes' "Frogs'
The Colorado statesman., 1917-11-03

to Locke'S Human Understanding"
and from this latter book of "dismala-
ties" to the lighter minded reader,
down to everything heavy and semi
heavy which was published to the
week of his death. Senator Hoar kept
his mental condition balanced by turn
ing not merely from the heavy to the
light on occasion, but to the actual
featherweights of fiction. He read
Mick Carter"
Woodrow Wilson, 1t is said, turns
away from the studies Of states, past
and present and in prospective to the
reading of what the English call penny
dreadfuls, and what the Americans in
the old days called yellow backs. 1t
is said that the speaker of the house
of representatives Champ Clark, stops
frequently his mental digging into all
kinds of history to take up for relief
purposes books of the kind which
make boy happy.
Reads Good Fiction.
In the library of Colonel House
there is plenty of good fiction. He
does not turn to Nick Carter, nor to
"The Hidden Hand" of Mrs. e. d. e.
N. Southworth, nor yet to "Owi Face,
The Pawnee" of Beadle dime novel
fame, but he manages to keep the men,
tai balance even by an evening lamp
hour or two with the writer's of fic-
tion who can lay claim to what the
book reviewers call literary merit.
Today Colonel House is entering up
on the work of preparing material
which one day, perhaps far in the fu-
ture, will be serviceable to the Ameri
can commissioners at the great peace
conference. Another has written this
concerning the choice by the president
of Colonel House for this work: "He
is peculiarly qualified for it by his dip
lomatic experience of recent years, by
his study of political problems which
the war has raised and by his integrity
of mind and character"

House on public matters. How deep
an impression he has made on Texas
legislative history never may be known
definitely, but there is enough salient
to make Texans know that they are
right in attributing to him many OF
their public welfare acts.
Though not accounted wealthy in
these days of huge fortunes, Colonel
House is quite well fixed financially
and Is not engaged in business of any
kind.
Has Studied Hard.
l have talked to Colonel House and
have learned things which make me
feel that l shall not go wrong when
try to put an Interpretation upon some
of his methods of doing things. He Is
free enough to say that he has studied
hard at economic, political and leg's-
lative subjects. He probably even
would be willing to admit that he
thinks the results of these studies con-
tinued and their results retained, have
enabled him to be of some service
when men were seeking information
concerning events in the past which
have relation to events in the present
or events expected in the future.
Therefore, there Is here man who
has held what he has studied, who
has collated and correlated the hap
penings of history, who has drawn
lessons from them, who takes an in
terest as deep in the living present as
he does in the dead past, and who men
believe is able to make his knowledge
serviceable for old as it is let us say
It, history repeats itself.
Woodrow Wilson did not meet his
friend Colonel House until the days
when he was holding office as COVER
nor of New Jersey. 1t is said by
friends of Mr.. Wilson that almost in
stantly he came to understand why
the Texan ind been of service along
constructive lines to some of the gov
ernors of the state in which he, has
lived most of his life. For six or seven
years Mr.. House has been the conf
dapt and the counsellor of the presi-
deut of the United States. and SEEM

CONGRESS ENTERS HOME
STRETCH ON MONEY BILL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Congress
was turning into the home stretch of
the war session today. Another huge
money bill-the $4,000, 100000 urgent
deficiency measure pasesd by the senate
late yesterday-was near enactment.
Conferees began work on 1t today and
little delay was exepcted.
The conferees on the revenue bill are
temporarily deadlOcked. After reaching
virtual agreement house members re-
fused to stand hitched." There was
threat again to send the tax measure
back to the senate and house commit
tees to slumber until the December ses-
sion but this has been averted for the
time by demand that the money must
be raised this season.
Definition of invested capital con-
tinues the stumbling block.
With nothing important before it the
house rested today. The military COM
mittee, however, met to consider the
state department draft of the alien
Stacker bill.
This measure, which seems likely to
be substituted for both original house
and senate measures provides:
Aliens of allied countries may either
go home to join the forces of their ma
tive land or serve with the United
States. those who refuse to do either
will be deported; aliens from unfriend-
ly countries to be assigned to non-mili-
tary work.
The bill is drawn in far closer detail
than congressional proposals.
