From the New York Evening sun.
Nothing viii surprise the public more
In Prenident Wilson's letter TO Senator
Martin than the fear he expresses that
the Congress may exhibit want OF con-
idence IN him and his Administration.
With the Oyerman bill-bolh OF them

ship control, the railroad control and
sundry other empowering scls on the
record. general impression has got
abroad that the national legislators have
pretty nearly reached the limits OF sim
pie and whole-souled trust That they
fan short OF the Presidents ideal Is GER
tainly surprise and perhaps a dissp-
pOintment, So far from any tendency
TO grab power or assume responsibility,
the Congress has incurred the general
reprosch Of eowardly avoidance, ever
since war was declared by II, In shlrk-
ing its constitutional responsibilities
and delegating to the Executive Its con-
stitutional duties,
One right it had indeed reserved. One
right Of the legislative branch the SEN
ate has to some extent asserted through
its committees. This Is the right which
il is now proposed TO exercise In a
somewhat more continuous manner, but
stlll IN strictly oireumscribed way,
namely the right Of supervision This
right Il Is which the President exclaims
against so violently and which he at
tempts TO classify with participation
and direction as an invasion Of his
powers.

BARLEY FLOUR is "A
FAILURE BREWERS SAY

Brewers, as well as all who drink
beer, arc seriously concerned regarding
the effect Of the Randall amendment, II
It should become a law.
A brewer yesterday said he did moi
care to discuss the local aspects Of the
matter, but presented The following
statement:
The Randall Amendment Is based on
the supposition that the materials used
by brewers constitute waste Of food
products.
Mr.. Randall stated in debate: Mr..
Hoover admits that brewers are using
today 100000 bushels Of barley, over
100000 bushels Of rice. over 100000
bushels OF corn and millions OF pounds
Of sugar in the manufacture OF beer.
There are several points which must
De determined in considering the effect
iyeness Of this measure:
4. The extent TO which barley can
be used In substitution for other cereals
In making bread for home consumption.
q The extent Of the export demand
for barley on the part Of our Allies for
food use.
., Inc amount which is still on hand
Of the 1917 crop.
u The effect Of this proposed pro
hibition upon the price OF the coming
crop OF barley to the farmer
In response TO these points we sub
nit: That the milling OF barley into
1our has proved so thoroughly unsatls-
factory that II may be designated as a
failure. There Is now a considerable
quantity Of barley -four available, for
there Is practically no demand. Bakers
have found that Il does not make pala-
table bread. and that 1t spoils very
quickly, and with the summer season
upon US. they cannot use H.
british buyers have refused 10 buy
or ship aDy more barley -four. and the
buying FOR export has ceased entirely
There Is some demand for barley Itself
Evening journal., 1918-05-29

for export TO Allied and neutral coun-
tries for the purpose OF brewing, bul
this is prohibited by embargo.
The 1917 crop OF barley was esti-
mated at 2ii,0O0,0O0 bushels. Now thai
the mlllers have stopped buying, tbs
price Of barley has fallen very consid-
erably and the market Is weak. There
is reported to be a large surplus on
hand
The barley crop Of 1918 has already
been seeded and the prospects are "a
vorable for considerably larger crop
than IN 1917.
"As TO corn, It Is well-known that
there was a large surplus last year,
much OF which was allowed to rot in
the fields. The New York Food Ad-
mlnstrator Is asking brewers for cold
storage room for a large quantity OF
ungermlnated corn which is now In the
local freight yards The amount OF
corn used by brewers Is onyl about one
half OF one per cent Of the production,
and It is therefore practically negligible.
As 10 sugar, brewers use no cane
or beet sugar They use certain
amount Of corn sugar or corn sirup,
which, however. is Included In the cal
culatlon Of the sugar referred 10 above.
I'm addition to these products, brew
ers use the entire hop crop Of the United
States, for which there IL now no other
market, The sudden cutting off Of this
market will spell absolute ruin TO sll
hop farmers who have already spent
large sums OF money on their crops and
have an investment which cannot now
be diverted TO any other purpose.
ignoring entirely the food value Of
the beer itself, the by-products OF the
used by brewers are resold to
dairy farmers, and. represent q salvage
Of 81 per cent.
we submit that testimony should be
.aken from the Department Of Agricul-
.ure and the q. s, Food Administration
upon these points"

SPEAKER GLARKs FOOLISH SPEECH

From the Boston Transcript
As Speaker Of the House Of Repre-
sentatlves the public uiteranoes OF
Champ Clark had added to his notoriety
as the maker of foolish speeches rather
than to his reputation as a statesman.
His oratorical attempt 10 annex Canada
helped 10 wreck Canadian reciprocity
IN a past time; his charge in an Okla
homa speech that Wall Street was re-
sponsible for the tagging Of the first
Liberty Loan had to be repudiated by
his own party leaders at Washington; I;
and his fearful protest against the pass
age Of the draft law lest It stamp his
son with the stigma OF "consoript," are
unhappily examples Of rather than eX-
eeptions to his platform record. OF the
same sort was his speech at Fort Wayne
last Saturday TO a group Of Indiana
Democrats, in which he advocated the
election OF a Democratic House TO back
up a Democratic president and Demo-
cratic Administration in the most stu
pendous task ever undertaken by the
children Of men" His advocacy fol-
lowed an acduittal OF The Republicans
Of the House OF partisan politics since
the war began. He reasons apparently
that the patriotism OF Republicans can
be trusted only when they are in the
minority and that the patriotism or
the House depends on its remaining un-
der Democratic control.
The foOlishness OF the speech lies In
the assumption Of Speaker Clark that
the people have forgotten his opposition

It was difficult for Prince to learn
that none OF those feathered folk were
to be molested.
There was d understanding oak
tree on a knoll overlooking the brook.
Around its trunk Uncle Joe had built
seat. Carolyn May found this a
grand place to sit and dream, while
Prince lay at her feet.
When they saw Aunty Rose In hei

a crocodile from the Nile Joseph Stage
would have felt little more 1T a loss
as to what disposal to make of the
creature than he felt now regarding
his little niece.
"Well-she1l be a nuisance; an aw.
full nuisance" was his final comment,
with mountainous sigh.
Thus far. Aunty Rose Kennedy's at.
titude towards the little stranger had
been the single pleasant disappoint.
ment Mr.. Stagg had experienced.
Aunty Rose was an autocrat. Joseph
Stagg had never been so comfortable
in his life as since Mrs. Kennedy had
taken up the management Of his home.
But he stood in great awe of her.
He put the lawyers letter in the
safe. For once he was unable to re-
spond to written communication
promptly. Although he wore that
band of crepe on his arm he could not
actually realize the fact that his sister
Hannah was dead
Any time these fifteen years he
might have run down TO New York to
see her. First She had worked in
the newspaper office as a stenogra.
pher. Then she had married John
Lewis Cameron and they had gone Inn
mediately to housekeeping.
Cameron was q busy man; he held
a desk job" on the paper Vacations
had been hard to get And before long
Hannah had written about her baby
"Hannah's CarIyn."
After the little ones arrival there
seemed less chance than before for
the city family to get UP to Sunrise
Cove. But at any time he might have
gone to them. If Joseph Stagg had
shut up his store for a week and gone
TO New York, it would not have
brought the world to an end.
Nor was it because he was stingy
that he had not done this. No, he was
no miSer. But he was fairly buried
in his business. And there was no
look up" in that dim little office in
the back of the hardware store.
On this evening he closed the store
later than usual and set out for The
Corners slowly. To tell the truth, Mr..
Stage rather shrank from arriving
home. The strangeness of having a
child in the house disturbed his tran
quillity.
The kitchen only was lighted when
he approached; therefore he was re-
pS L.
must have been put to bed long since.
1t was dark under the trees and
only long familiarity with the walk
enabled him to reach the back porch
noiselessly. Then it was that some
thing scrambled up in the dark and
the roar of a dogs barking made Jo-
serh Stagg leap back in fright.
"Drat that mongrelw he calculated.
remembering Prince.
The kitchen door opened. revealing
Aunty Roses ample figure. Prince
whined sheepishly and dropped his alb
breviated TAIL going to lie down again
at the extreme end of his leash and
blinking his eyes at Mr.. Stagg.
1.-THE critters as savage as bear /"
grumbled the hardware merchant.
"He is a good watchdog; you must
allow that, Joseph Stagg," Aunty Rose
said calmly.
The hardware dealer gasped again.
1t would be hard to say which had
startled him the most-the dog OF
Aunty Roses manner.
