I This. Of course, really means govern
ment by commission, the commission
being composed Of the advisers per-
sonally selected by the President and
confirmed as advisers by the Senate,
but without any constitutional appor-
tionment Of their respective duties as
executive officers. The status Of the
several principal executive officers. 10
must be remembered depends entirely
upon acts Of Congress, and the word
Cabinet is not even mentioned in the
Constitution.
The Garfield precedent is now much
I'm evidence in these discussions. The
Garfield precedent. however, is not con-
stilulional law; and an administrative
precedent is not sacrOsmct. &c may
be either right or wrong.

inability of a President 10 discharge

wolves on the President. those
powers and duties shall belong TO the
Executive department or are a subject
for opinion by the judiciary, II is well
to keep clearly in mind the plain fact.
The definition and determination are
with the Congress. The Congress,
says the Constitution in the Eighth
Section Of Article J. is ITO make all
laws which shall be necessary and
proper for carrying into execution the
foregoing powers. and all other pow
ers vested by this Constitution in the
Government Of the United States, or
in any department or officer thereof"
10 is amazing TO see how many Amer
leans, deluded by a most destructive
theory Of government, forget what the
Congress stands for in our constitu-
ti0nal scheme.

Where The Power Abides
fFrom the New York suns

Happily the discussion Of the Presi-
! DENTAL succession is case Of inability
or, more accurately, The discussion of
the disqualifying degree and the
method Of ascertainment Of such in
ability as affecting the succession, is
at present mainly academic. Every
body is hoping that three questions
may continue TO be academic. Mean
while the country is well satisfied with
the delicate and cOnSiderate attitude Of
Nice-President Marshall, who officially
is the person most concerned.
There are, however, in the situation
possibilities involving considerations
Infinitely deeper and further reaching
than those which apply TO any special
case. The measure Of their gravity
and extent is to be found in the cir
cumstance that some Of the support
ers OF the general movement for the
expansion Of executive power and the
consequent atr0phy or impairment of
The powers Of the coordinate depart
ments of the government already seem
TO be preparing 10 advance The theory
that even in the event Of complete and
long continued inability, most If not
all. Of the functions Of the President
could be exercised by his chosen ad-
visers in the Cabinet. much as they
were exercised during Mr.. Wilson's
long absence in Europe. The former
fiction Of direct administration from
Paris or Rome by means of postal or
telegraphic communication would be
replaced by the fiction Of the occa-
efcna1
state to the sick room via the medical
Of a disabled Chief Magis-
trate, the Cabinet officers in the mean
time dividing the work OF the Execu-
Tive and assuming the actual RESPONSE
0ility for decisions which constitution
ally rest with the President alone.

Editorial Opinion
4 SHlNTUNG RESERVATION,

oHANllNtf hEcEhN AlION.
From the New York Tribune.
The Shantung amendment 10 the tex.
OF the peace treaty has been rejected
| by the senate by a vote Of 50 10 81.
This is We'll. The action clears the
way for the passage Of a reservation
which will achieve the end sought b7
/ the amendment and at the same tim
avoid the risks attendant on texiua
changes.
What has the Shantung debale
brought out? That American public
| opinion is overwhelmingly opposed TO-
underwriting and approving the trans
fer Of any part Of China 10 any other
nation. We have no right to convey
Chinese territory to any one. II Is not
ours. We may not play Butcher 10 her
or hold the knife il others do. Pres
ident Wilson admits the fundamental
immortality Of China's dissection
The debate has also brought out that
the Shantung article is highly an
bisuOus No one knows to a certainty
what is Japan's reading. One day il {,
said she regards herself as merely
trustee TO re-convey 10 China. The
next there is something which appar-
emily contradicls this. So there Is doubt.
Should we ratify the Shantung article
without reservation no one at present
can say to what we are committed.
The way TO clear up doubt is by ap-
pr0priate reservation. IL should be
declared that the United States does not
understand that ratification implies any
recognition by US Of the validity of
the transfer Of any part OF China 10
any other nation. Such an interpreta-
tion would disassociate US from all re-
sponSibility, and in all probability would
have the practical effect Of solving the
Shantung question without in the least
good relations with
Japan or any other power. It Is lncon-
,eivable that any nation would chal-
enge our construction Of the treaty.
