Paris. June 90. The coming
electoral contest offers a chance to
end the Presidents autocracy by
supporting the Montague resolution
providing for personal attend
ance of cabinet members upon Con-
gress to supply information on
subjects under debate" is the opin-
ion of Perry Belmont, Democrat
and former chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, in
an interview given your correspond
ent. Mr.. Belmont said:
This needs no constitutional
amendment. 1t is merely a change
In practice more important than
any change in men or party. This
lack of personal contact between
the legislative and the executive
departments is the contributory
cause of the present dislocation of
the treaty-making power. Making
an appeal for popular decision
is necessary by the President. on
the one hand, and for a Congress
sional majority. on the other, upon
all complex questions arising under
the treaty of Versailles. There al
ready is a law providing that the
o'SitNdt VI lHe treasury De re-
quired to report in person to Con-
gress in all matters respecting and
appertaining to his office Under
the fundamental law he is the
financial agent of Congress.
Would End Personal Policies.
If this resolution is put in force
the President will become directly
answerable TO the people through
the Interpolation of his secretaries
on the floor of Congress. and IL
would prevent the development of
personal policies by future occu-
pants of the White House. 1t has
had the support of the leading men
of both parties. Mr.. Taft recon-
mended its adoption in a message
to Congress just before retiring.

gard to the peace treaty. there

up the State institutions. Olympia

apiece. Yakima got the State fair.
Walla Walla was given the State
penitentiary. Pullman got the
Washington State College and Sc

parceling around OF State institu-

early life of post States. In the

Afterward, Monsignor Corretti, the
Pope's Col. House, carried this papal
answer to the Roman question both
to Cardinal Gibbons and the peace
conference at Paris.

church it is not without worldwide

subjects under treatment range
from those of a spiritual nature to
those of an educational and politi-
cal nature. They include such wide
ly different matters as divorce and
religious instruction in government
schools.
In fact. from the papal point of
view, to cure the unnatural posi-
tion of the church in Italy" many
remedies are adjuuged necessary.
As summarized for me eighteen
months ago at Rome by Monsignor
Tedesehini. and now, according to
report, proposed to Premier Giolitti,
they are as follows:
Summaries Of "Remedies."
"1. Absolute independence. liberty
and sovereignty for the Pope. and

And Moses spake unto the
people, saying, Arm some of your

against the Midiarites, and avenge
the Lord of Midian.
4 OF every tribe a thousand,
throughout all the tribes of Israel,
shall we send to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of
the thousands of Israel, a thousand
of every tribe, twelve thousand
armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them to the
war. a thousand of every tribe, them
and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the
priest, to the war, with the holy in
struments, and the trumpets to blow
in his hand.
And they warrsd against the
Midianites, as the Lord commanded
Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 And they slew the kings OF
Midian, beside the rest of them that
were slain: namely, Evi, and Rekem,
and Eur, and Hur, and Reba, FIVE
kings of Midian: Balaam also the
son of Beor they slew with the
sword.7
3 And the children of Israel took
all the women of Midian captives,

spoil of all their cattle, and all their

10 And they burnt all their cities
wherein they dwelt, and all their
goodly castles, with fire.
IL And they took all the spoil,
and all the prey, both of men and of

12 And they brought the cara

unto Moses and Eleazar the priest,
and unto the congregation of the
children of Israel, unto the camp at

Jordan near Jericho.

BY George Perry Morris.

The resignation of Brig. Gen.
Richard C. Marshall. jr.. from the
army and his decision to remain in
Washington as general manager of
the Associated Contractors of Amer
ice, is interesting from two stand
points. The fact that the organiza-
tion for which he will now work
has made its headquarters in the
Capital City and not in Chicago or
New York indicates where the CEN
ter of power is now drifting. even
in affairs commercial and economic.
Secondly, IL the government will not
make provision to retain in the serv-
ice men who have made good in a
supreme way during the war, then
the latter must not be blamed for
thinking of their own welfare. Gen.
Marshall was chief of the division
of construction of the army which
did whale of a job in a workman
like way.
