We are almost beginning to
love Wiley Jones, attorney gen.
eral for the state. He has given
out an opinion that the failure of
the governor to sign the land bill
carrying the emergency clause
kills the law. On this, how
ever, we must disagree. 1t
probably does kill the emergen-
cy claus of the bill and makes
the law subject to the referen-
dun. However, wehope Mr.. Jones
can try out his determination
that the failure of the law kills
the bill, and we wish him success.

going up by democrats all over
the land, because it is feared the
next Congress, which is republi-
can, may not be standing behind
Mr.. Wilson in his League of Ma
tions program? When, under
our democratic form of govern
ment, was the President made
dictator and directing spirit in
passing legislation and shaping
government policies? We real
ize that during the past two
years democratic Congress has
been comforting by resolution
additional powers on Mr.. Wilson,
under various pretenses to sue
cessfully prosecute the war, un-
til now he can exercise more au-
tocratic power than even the
Kaiser in his most halcyon days;
but the constitution is not chang
ed by resolution or congressional
act, and it stands today as it did
a hundred years ago, explicitly
dividing the government into
three distinct branches of gov
ernment-legislative, executive
and judicial. No place in the ar
ticles setting forth the powers
and duties of the President does
it say he can dictate to Con-
gress, but it does explicitly state
that he can make recommends
tions to Congress for their con-
sideration, and can make treat
les, with the advice and consent
of two thirds of the Senate. In
other words the trainers of the
constitution put their faith for
the safety of the republic in the
Congress as representing the peo-
pie, and made the Executive SIM
pip an advisory, and not a dicta-
tor. That the President was in
tended to occupy a secondary
place in governmental affairs is
evident because in the constitu-
tion the executive is gives Sec
ondary consideration. The first
article confers on Congress all
legislative power, while the Sec
ond article sheers the President
of all power, and given advisory
functions only. The late depart
ed democratic Congress got into
the habit of surrendering its con-
stitutional rights to the Presi-
dent from time to time, until
now it seems to be accepted as
the true form of government for
the President to be the dictator,
and the Congress to be servile
slaves to do his bidding in enact
ing legislation. 1t is case of
the tail trying to wag the dog.
Even Mr.. Wilson appears to ac-
cept the view that the Executive
is bigger factor than Congress,
because he will not condescend
to take Congress into his conf
dence on his plans and work in
the Paris peace conference, evil
dently imbued with the idea that
whatever decision he reaches
must perforce be accepted by the
Senate without question:, as in
structions from master to SER
want. Congress, not the Presi-
dent, represents the people, un-
der our form of government, and
they should honestly represent
their constituents without any
regard whatever to the Presi-
dent except ne is in harmony.
Instead of so much noise about
Congress not following after Mr..
Wilson on all his vagaries and
academic socialism, let US get
back to the first principles of the
constitution and demand that the
President get behind Congress
in it's efforts for legislation in
this reconstruction period, or at
least keep hands off and not in
terfere with their labors.

FEWER HEROES NAMESAKES
One Popular Custom Seems to Have

lands Administration.

Americans are abandoning the old
custom Of naming their children after
the hero Of the hour, according to the
New York Sun. At the time of the
Civil war and Immediately thereafter
thousands of children were named
Abraham Lincoln.
This custom continued about thirty
years after the war. The last Ameri-
can president to be honored in this
way by any large number Of persons
was Grover Cleveland. The American
army today is jammed with Grover
Clevelands, as boys born during the
great democratic administration are
just now of the finest fighting age. The
slump began during McKinley's term
and has continued ever since.
There are comparatively few VIII
liam McKinleys, and even Theodore
Roosevelt, with all his immense popu-
larity, gained but few namesakes. Pres
ident Taft had only small number Of
babies named after him. In time of
war, such as has existed for the last
two years, it would be imagined that
the custom would revive, but there has
been only slight increase.

Philadelphia in 1918 there were only ~
Woodrow Wilson's and only z John
Pershings, according to the records Of

JAPANESE AID

Japan generally followed the plan of devoting the money obtained from abroad during the war to giv- ing financial support to her allies, either by subscribing to the loans issued by them, or by purchasing their bonds, says an official re- port of the department of finance. The total amount invested in all these securities reached about S579, ,500,000 at the end of 1917, including $265OOO,O ,O0O in British government bonds, S77,5OO,OOO in French bonds and $127 100000 in Russian bonds. To this should be added $11O,OOO,OOO representing Japanse foreign loan bonds and company debentures redeemed in foreign markets.
 Japan's sea-borne trade was greatly effected at the beginning of the war, says the report, but her export trade afterwards be- came very brisk. There was pro- nounced increase of Japan's ship ments to nearby markets and to the South Seas to take the place of commodities that had ceased to be shipped from Europe. This was es- pecally conspicuous as regard China where there was large demand for Japanese goods. Larger ship ments of munitions and food sent to the Allies increased the volume of exports. In 1917 these amount ed to $801, 100000 an increase of $237, ,76O,OOO over 1916. Japan's imports for 1917 were $517,9OO,- 900, $l39,000,000 more than 1916. The excess of exports over imports in 1917 was $283, 3,5O0,OO0, an in- crease of fifty-two per cent over this balance of trade in 1916. This apparently has paved the way for an expansion of Japan's industries and trade in the future, said the re- port.

These are the resources and conversion section the activities of which will be con. tinued only temporarily, and the conservation division, which will be incorporated permanently in the de partment of commerce.
 The conservation division of tn.

BOOMING FOREIGN TRADE

Expansion of the government'S activities for promoting foreigr trade is urged in the annual report of the chief of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce department of commerce. It is in evitabe that the United States will from this time on play a more important role in international trade and it is a matter of the greatest urgency that the govern ment increase it's efforts to have the new trade built upon sound ethical and economic foundations.
 Extension of the commercial at tache and trade commissioner serv- ices is particularly urged, as the value of the promotive work done by these field representatives in the past is generally conceded. New attaches are asked for number of new posts, such as Rome, Mad rid, Ottawa, Mexico City, Santiago, Chile and Athens. Il can not over emphasize the increasing import ance in our plan for foreign-trade promotion of these resident men in foreign countries" says the chief of the bureau, Mr. B. S. Cutler
 Trade commissioners. who can travel from place to place in a specified district, are also needed to send in news about the national resources and trade opportunities of the countries that we know little about. These trade commissioners would operate without any staff, and would, of course, not attempt to keep open an office such as is regular feature of the work of consuls and commercial attaches, but would make personal investiga- tions and write up their report as they go from place to place, just as the bureaus investigators of build ing materials, boots and shoes, can ned goods, and other industrial specialties have done for years The countries now in view for such work are Colombia and Venezuela, the Dutch East Indies. Egypt, South Africa, and New Zealand.
 An interesting feature of the re- port is table showing how the war has affected the quantities of goods exported from this country. The general impression has been that while the total value of Ameri- can exports has increased in re- markable manner, the actual quan- tity has not been increased ma terially. This table shows that with the exception of lumber. raw cot ton, and tobacco, there have been gains in the quantity all along the line. One of the most spectacular jumps is recorded for oats, the foreign sales of which were only two million bushels in 1914. More than a hundred million bushels were shipped in 1918. Twenty-four of the great lines show increases. Six million more tons of coal went abroad in 1918 than in 1914 Wheat flour increased ten million barrels. Exports of steel sheet. and plates doubled. Steel cars quadrupled, and bacon, hams, beef and sugar all show striking in creases.
