the America he knows and loves was
made not the whole government. but
only one of the three equal and CO.
ordinate branches of the government.
Though he may be President himself
he wants no power greater than the
trainers of tho constitution intended the
Chief Executive to have. He said so
himself in his speech.
And he wants parties to play the

constitution contcmplatcs no appeal to

says. Perhaps you cannot push the
class struggle aside so easily, but it

Takes Bitter .Ender Stand
After Senator Lodge had spoken, tell

Senator Harding replied to him there
could be no question that the Repub-

come around to the bitter ender posi-

ABANDON TWO LINES
City Agrees to Street Car Company's
Plan, Temporarily, at Least.


Mayor CoFWine and the city COM
missioners, in conference with Albert
Patten, general mshager of the To-
peka Railway company late Saturday
afternoon, consented to a temporary
abandonment of the West Eighth
avenue and West Twelfth street to
Clay street car lines, and the Fair
grounds leop and a few other minor
tracks. This statement was contained
IN a letter send today by the mayer
and commissioners to Judge w. l..
Higgins, of the court of industrial re-
latiens.
1t was stated in the communication,
however, that q permanent abandon
ment of the lines mentioned was not
faveFably regarded by the city CONT
mission 1t was agreed that service
on the West Eighth avenue and West
Twelfth street to Clay street lines
should be abandoned as a trial, and
that the cars taken theFefrom should
be put on other lines. 1t was not
argued that this would result in a ma
terial saving to the street railway
company, but would enable it to give
better service on other lines and still
not work a hardship en- residents in
the abandoned section, owing to the
proximity of the lines on West Sixth,
west Tenth and West Fifteenth
streets.
Judge Higgins stated today that an
order would probably be issued soon
granting the street railway company
the privilege of abandoning the lines
concerned.
