The History Of An Ev;l

| 5oFtty witch kept IL head. The lie
Of July 10 was not yet done. with its
work in RUSSIA; even after the fall Of
Riga the deluded Soviets went on
trusting to 1t. believing that they had
the clue to what was going on in the
minds Of the German people, that all
they had to do was to lay down their
arms, and then, IL the German miiitar-
lists should give the order to fire on
them, the German people would rise
and enforce its declaration Of July 10.
So they gave the supreme proof Of
army: and German troops have been
cutting Russia's arteries eevr since, to
the accompaniment Of Joyful applause
from all Germany.
And now the resolution, which never
had . life in Germany. but had such
a glorious life elsewhere while it
lasted. is as dead everywhere as In
Germany. Ukraine and Roumania
slew It; there Is mono so dense as to
give it the pretense of belief. Demo
cratic journals like the Tageblatt,"
says Mr.. Renwick, register their APP

mania. No one objects. in Germany.
As for the Ukraine, there are uneasy
voices in Berlin, but only on the
ground of expediency; 1t IL, perhaps,
unsafe to goad the Ukrainians too far
into madness.
that the resolution of July 10 had no
real life In Germany, could only have
a life outside? Because, even II the
reichstag meant 1t. the reichstags
declaration was worthless. Civilians
have ceased to have any part in the
decision Of Germany's policies, except
what the generals let them have. The
decision Of civilians, lawmakers, OF
statesmen, mean nothing unless Trey
please the soldiers and are approved
by them. Constitutional government Is
becoming only a form in Germany; the
absolute despotism Of the middle age6
Is returning there, and it makes no
difference what reichstags may resolve
or say or do. 1t may "resolute till the
cows come home" and stil1 its resolu-
tions will mean nothing unless the

that the resolution % July 20 -e. not

then comes the inevitable question:

HUGHES, APPOINTMENT.

Selection of Mr.. Hughes by the presi-
dent as one of the leading investigators
of the airplane failure will be accepted
as satisfactory by the country at large
Mr. Hughes made his name and fame
as an investigator, he is big enough,
strong enough and has the confidence
Of the country.
Moreover from the politicians stand
point 1t was a shrewd move to put re-
sponsibility upon the republicans by
naming their recent candidate for the
presidency.
The president should go farther This
is not democratic war or a Wilson
war but an American war. 1t demands
and requires the services Of all Amer
icons Of high usefulness. SO far It has
not had them Partisanship and per-
sonal favor appear TO have held high
command in appointments. Roosevelt
has been turned down. General Wood
has been set aside SO far II has ap-
peared that one party only has elements
Of high usefulness and that personal
favor and personal disltkes have ruled
against proffered service Of the highest
character and capabilities. So the
Hughes appointment may in optimism
be accepted as a turning point in a
policy that has not been accepted kindly
by the country at large.

faster than before, ana after while
they met littls old duck with silk
hat on his head.
"Canu you tell me where there is a
gold mine?' ASKED the old gentleman
rabbit anxiously. But the httle old
duck only SHOOK his head.
II never heard of one near here"
he answered. but you might ask the
peacock who lives not far away. so
Uncle Lucky thanked the duck and
drove on again and pretty soon he
came to a high stone wall with big
iron gate in the middle Of 1t. And
right on the other side stood beauti-
full peacock with a tail like Japa-
nese fan.
Now we'll nnd out about the gold
mine" said Uncle Lucky and he hop
ped out Of the Luckymobile and went
up to the iron gate and took on his
old wedding stovepipe hat.
Can you tell me II there is a gold
mine near here?" But, oh. dear me,
that peacuck stuck up his nose and
turned away without even answering
dear Uncle Lucky. Wasn't that impo-
lite Of him? So the old gentleman
rabbit rang a little bell that was
fastened on the gate, and in the next
story you shall hear what happened
after that.

THE CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT.

President Wilson has announced that
he will regard the Chamberlain reso-
luton as an expression Of lack Of con-
fidence in the administration. That an
;;1.ZI,Il.1TiJt,IIeut viii without any manner oi
doubt result in a change In the resolu-
ton which Will modify its breadth as
to "all war activities" Congress has
been most kind TO President Wilson. 1t
will listen now 10 his objection
But it is necessary for the president
and congress to get closer together
The way to accomplish that is for the
president to come closer to congress
and to offer that branch OF government
somewhat of the respect II com mands
and deserves. II Is not necessary to
confidence in the administration that
the country proclaims that 1t has no
confidence IN congress.
Speaking from public platform In
New York city the other night George
Creel after his address answered ques-
lions asked from the audience. 1t was
most astonishing that he answered as
the spokesman and mouthpiece Of the
administration. He even used the In
elusive 1--WE" in his replies and glibly
dealt with the japanese Russian ques-
ton, knocked Roosevelt, forecasted TO
his audience that "the rich man Is go
ing to be taxed higher and higher until
he has little left" etc. Asked about
congress he replied
I don't like Summing so I won't ex-
plore the heart Of congress for you.
That was a nasty little insult flung in
the face Of the legislative branch Of
government by small man assuming
to speak for the executive and the ad-
ministration. Those who know Creel
best speak Of him in the diminutive.
Still this little man stands in a public
forum and fling insult into the faces
of the representatives Of the people OF
this country.
Congress has done wen, too we'll It
has delegated too much power and far
too much power II the Creels and the
Houses are to CONTEMPORARY
thrust congress aside In an effort to
take over the functions Of government.
The president should suppress Mt.
Creel He should find a meeting point
with congress We need all branches
OF government. Neither the executive
nor the congress nor the supreme court
should DO abolished and Its constitution
al powers delegated or destroyed The
president should come closer to con-
gress. Il Is his province to consult and
not command the legislative or tho
judiciary. Coordination is as much
needed between the executive and the
legislative as in the business and prep
arat!on Of the war. AS matters seem
to stand congress has been not only
anxious TO coordinate but to many has
seemed servile- It has certainly gone
hak way and more.

the Creels and come closer to congress
