Bitter animosity to President Will

Bitter animosity to President Will
son has come t. be the main spring
of the Republican Senate's action
with regard to much of the public
business. 1t was unquestionablv
republican hostility to the President
that prompted the relentless fight
against the treaty Of peace. There
is little room for doubt that the
Senate's refusal to consider legisla-
tion recomm ended by President Will
son nearly a year ago is ascribable
to like animus. Among the latest
exhibition of this partisan pique and
epitefulness is theSenate's method of
dealing with the appointment of
BainbridgeColby and Charlie R. Crane
Two facts we're patent to all the
nation-frst, that President Wilson
had the right to select these men,
one for the Cabinet and the other for
a diplomatic post, and, secondly. that
they were in every way equipped for
the positions to which they have been
designated. But the bosses of the
Republican Senate had grudge to
crafty. They pretended to inquire
into Mr.. Colby's legal eligibility, and
summoned officers of the military se.
cret service seemingly with the sin
gle purpose of creating doubtful
impression of his loyalty. To such
! ow levels has partisanism brought
the Republican majority. Mr.
Colby's appointment aud Mr.. Cranes
appointment have been confirmed.
Even the malice of Republican, boss
es could not prevent that; but the
Presidents foes in the Senate never.
theless attempted to start Mr. Cobb!
in his career as head of the nation
foreign department and Mr.. Crane OF
his course as diplomat with
seeming lack of confidence on .th'
part of an important branch of thei
own government.

1t remains to be seen by the plat
forms adopted in national convention
by the two old line parties, the re-
publicans and the democrats, whether
the question of prohibition is to be
a moral or political issue in the ap.
preaching presidential campaign.
Both parties are limited at as casting
more than passing glance at a
"wet plank, and trying to arrive
at straw vote of where the ma
jority of the voters stand on this
momentous question. And this il
happening at a time when it was
supposed that the liquor question hac
received its quietus for all time tt
come.

In the death of FRANK c. SHAR-
RER, the Consolidated Public Utilities
Company ct Westminster loses a di-
rector of many years whose constant
service, sound business judgment and
steadfast public spirit made for the
welfare Of the Company and the bene-
fit of this community. His life was
characterized by fidelity to high ideals
of honor and duty in public and pri-
vate affairs; and his associates in this
Company mourn him as a streling and
attractive man, and priced adviser,
whose merits, by reason of his great
and unaffected modesty, were only dis
closed by their intrinsic value and
striking quality.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Board Of Directors OF the Consoli-
dated Public Utilities Company of
Westminster that it tender to the fam
lily of Frank G. Sharrer their SYM
pathy; and that copy of this resolu-
tion be sent to the family and publish
ed after being spread on the min
utes of this Company,
