The power of the president over
congress was never better illus
trated than on the day when he
delivered his message to the two
houses saying that they should stay
in session and pass revenue bill.
There was not man within the
sound of his voice, either senator or
representative, or any other employee
about the capitol, that was not in
tensely in favor of postponing revenue
legislation in order that congress
might adjourn and not be compelled
to stay here through the hot summer
months. In fact, delegations of con-
gressmen. headed by what was at one
time called the Famous Southern

of North Carolina and Martin of Vir-

North Carolina, Sherley of Kentucky
and Garner of Texas. had labored ear
nestly with Secretary McAdoo and
with the president urging them not to
keep congress in session and showing
that it would be politically disastrous,
to the Democratic party to do So And

Former Senator Chauncey NJ, De-
pew, who was in Washington for few
DAYS recently, is a conservative on the
subject of prohibition and if he had
been in the senate he would not have
voted for the prohibition amendment
which is going to be one of the live is
sues in the campaign this fall. Mr..
Depew says that Notwithstanding the
fact that only very small percent.
age of the people of New York would
vote for ratifying the prohibition
amendment, it is likely that the legis-
ature to be elected this fall will
adopt it. He points out that those
who are advocating the amendment
are so very determined that they win
secure pledges from candidates for
the legislature and that these candi-
dates are timid enough to promise to
vote for the amendment in order to
assure their elections. It Is sort of
self-preservation measure and mem
bers of the legislature know that if
they do not pledge themselves to sup
port the amendment they will be
marked men when the next election
comes around. Just as senators and
representatives in congress give at
tention to the wishes of their home
folk, so do the members of state leg
islatures, and that is why the prohi-
bitionfsts are confident that they are
going to win enough states to ratify
the amendment after the election this
fall.

WheI- former Senator Joseph w.
Bailey retired from the United States
senate he was about the only .strenu-
Gus defender of the constitution left
on the Democratic side. Il was Sem
ator Baileys complai that even such
an able constitutional lawyer as the
late Senator Bacon had almost de-
serted him and that he was the lone
figure left who was devoted to the
constitution according to Democratic
ideals.
If Mr.. Bailey keeps. track of senate
proceedings at the present time he
will observe that there are others fol-
lowing in his footsteps. Senator Reed
of Missouri and Senator Hardwick of
Georgia are never missing when the
necessity arrives for taking care OF
the immortal document which has had
to undergo severe strain under recent
administrations OF course there is
always strain upon the constitution
during war times, and there are rea-
sons to believe that if "strict con-
struction" should be applied there are
quite a number of instances when the
constitution has been disjointed in
order to meet war exigencies.

PatrIOtlSm or nlgn degree Is
shown by millions of people who
cannot go to war, according to re-
ports that have been received in Wash
ingtOn from various parts of the coun-
try. AS an instance of this patriotism
the oversubscription to the Red Cross
fund is cited, but it is shown in other
ways that do not get before the public.
The care that is given the soldiers
and sailors is greater than was ever
before heard of in any war. Possibly
it was because of the reports that the
camps and clothing were inadequate
last winter that an extra effort was
made on the part of the people to sup
ply all possible deficiencies and make
up to the men who are going to fight
the battles of the country any short
comings that might have inadvertent-
ly occurred in the rapid mobilization
of an army.
Foremost in this work nave been
the women of the country, who have
been doing everything in their power
to furnish clothing and conveniences
for the troops. The fact that the Red
Cross fund was oversubscribed is be-
lieved to be due largely 20 the work Of
the women in their Red Cross uni
forms who have been soliciting funds.
The authorities also give great cred
it to the Y. Nj. g. A. organization
which has established rooms at every
camp and by which extraordinary eff
forts have been made to furnish the
soldiers with books and entertain
ments. The manner in which people
have volunteered their services in
these entertainments is one of the
features that has gratified the authori-
ties.
Take it all in ALL there is abundant
evidence that the people of this coun-
try, with very few exceptions, are
heart and soul interested in the war
and are doing everything they can to
help the soldiers and sailors who must
fight the war, and make them comfort
able, not only while at home, but so
far as is their power while they are
abroad
