SEEN ON THE SIDE
The Inventor.
BY HENRY EDWARD WARMER

The Inventor.
great inventor once there was
Who gained renown both far and nigh:
An airship he invented that
Could do most anything but hy.
He then got up patent gun
Designed to make an army scoot.
He tried 1t out. The only thing
That gun could not do was to shoot.
He never got discouraged but
He built a dandy new llfeboat
1t proved to have just one defect:
His fine invention wouldn't float.
He worked upon touring car.
1t was ten years ere he was done.
1t proved n peach. The only thing
About 1t was, it wouldn't run.
Discouraged, he from science turned:
He seemed to think he had no chance.
He had happy thought one day,
And he invented Il new dance.
He is the hero OF the hour
He finds investors and to spare.
He teaches his new dance himself
And he's a multi-miilionare.

Fantastic Piece OF Litigation

a LTHOUGH the country never at any
time looked with seriousness upon the
proceeding in the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court aimed at mandamus which
would compel conclusion of pcace etween
the United States and Germany by court
decree, the petition of the plaintiffs in this
case was so novel that it might easily have
excited much attention on the part of those
who revol in legal tcchnicalties.
While Chief Justice Mccoy has dismissed
the plea for mandamus TO compel the
Secretary OF State to promugate the peace
resolution passed by Congress, vetoed by
the President, then put to sleep in the
archives OF the House and Senate, the petit
TONER insists that he will demand final
ruling at the hands OF the United States
Supreme Court. hoping thereby to end the
state OF war between this country and Ger
many without more ado.
Under the statutory law the Secretary OF
State is directed to promulgate all laws
passed by Congress and approved by the
President or which may have been repassed
over the executive veto. The peace reso-
luton passed by the last Congress was not
SO promulgated because it was vetoed and
not repassed over tho veto. 1t is held by
the Chicago attorney who asked for the
mandamus that the President had no right
OF veto in this instance. and that the action
vi congress was the last word upon tho
question Since Congress alone can declare
war that body alone has the power, lie ar
gued, 10 end war.
That Congress itself took no such view
OF It's powers is shown by the fact that it
passed joint resolution instead of a con-
current resolution. Joint resolutions re-
cure the approval of the executive before
thcy become operative, whereas concurrent
resolutions are not submitted to the cxccu-
i've Tor his action. For weeks the consti-
tutional lawyers OF the Senate debated the
rleht OF Congress to pass Il concurrent reso-
luton, which would end the war with Ger
many and finally agreed among themselves
that they had no such power. Accordingly
thcy adopted Il joint resolution and when il
was vetoed, as they knew il would be. thew
made no move TO repass il by n two-thirds
vote Such an effort would have failed.
