New York.-It is impossible, as the

subject of mourning clothes, writes
leading fashion correspondent. In

1t is quite true that casualty list Of
less than five thousand is too small to
make any physical impression. The
mental impression grows, however, and
women speak of mourning who have
heretofore not thought of it.

There are other sisters who put the

this has already been done, mind you

This manner of dressing is aided and
abetted by our government, which
hopes that women will not discard the
clothes they have in order to buy cost.

tons may live, and women must lose
those men.
We face the truth quite calmly these
days, because, as nation, we usually
grapple with the inevitable with the
belief of youth and the patience of
age. Women are supposed to be a
gentle race, nurtured by chivalrous
men, and our nation is supposed to be
one of peace. serenity and calm.
Will We Wear Mourning?
It is'a strange thing that today we
link this thinking and talking about
immortality with an intense desire to
laugh, to be amused, to do our best
for those who are going and coming,
and to lead our lives as though war
had not smashed a shell across its
routine.
With this spirit the idea of deep
mourning is not consistent. The world
has gone through several rapid phases

the last two years. France has been

EXECUTIVE INFLUENCE.

BY Woodrow Wilson. in "Consti-
.tutional Government of the Unit i
States"
There are illegitimate means by
which the President may influence
the action of Congress. He may
bargain with members not only
with regard to appointments, but al
so with regard to legislative meas
ures. He may use his local patron
age to assist members to get or re-
tain their seats, He may interpose
his powerful influence. in one COW
ert way or another. in contests for
places in the Senate. He may also
overbear Congress by arbitrary acts
which ignore laws or virtually over
ride them He may even substitute
his own orders for acts of Congress
which he wants, but cannot get.
Such things are not only deeply inn
moral, they are destructive of the
fundamental understandings of con-
stitutional government. and. there
fore, of constitutional government
itself. They are sure, moreover, in
country of free public opinion. to
bring their own punishment, to de-
stroy both the Same and the power
of the. man who dares to practice
them.
