See Grave Dangers Ahead.
Those who hold the standard of gov
ernment for the United States above
party politics see grave dangers ahead
if this Is not done. The legislation
in the present session, they say,
shows the extreme necessity for re-
sumption of constitutional procedure.
There is a general delusion that Con-
gress is the extravagant part of the gov
eminent and the executive the economic
part. AS a matter Of fact. it's just the
other way about. For years Congress
has pared down the estimates Of tho ex-
partments were so reckless in exceeding
appropriations that Congress finally
made it criminal onenSe for any e1-
ecutive or official to exceed the appro-
priationS.
The executive departments send the
estimates to Congress calling for
large appropriations. The last ses-
sion cut these estimates more than
billion dollars. This session has
started to make a similar cut. II the
constitutional relationship Is not ad-
hered to, the time would come when
the right of reduction would be de-
MED to the legislative in the appro-
priation bills. which ultimately would
reach the stage Of a denial to modify
executive proposals for legislation.
these advocates Of strict conformity
with the Constitution argue.
The most important and pertinent
comment on this last possibility. they
say. is found in the proceedings OF
the Senate during the last year.

of the power of treaty making. no

Tendency Of Criticism.
One extreme danger. those who
point to the Constitution as the guide
see growing out of this tendency, is
the practice Of criticising the Presi-
dent over the shoulders OF Congress.
For example. estimates are executive

Failure of the Senate to take prompt
action in confirmation of Brainbridge
Colby. as Secretary of State. to succeed
Robert Lansing, recalls that it has not
always been considered necessary by the
Senate to approve Of the Presidents
selection for cabinet positions. There
have been notable cases where the Sen
ate absolutely refused to confirm the ap-
pointments and other cases in which the
presidential appointment was allowed to
Lie indefinitely on the table without any
action being taken upon it.
Members Of Congress have been, as
rule. dissatisfied with the selection Of
Mr.. Colby and on this account have
been hunting up the precedents in such
cases. In discussing the question of
senatorial courtesy in perfunctorily ac-
quiescing in the presidential appoint
ment, they point out that repeatedly the
Senate has honestly differed from the
President regarding the merits Of the
appointee, and have rejected the NOM
ination at other times from purely po-
litical motives
One of tho cases cited was that OF
Roger b. Taney, whom President Jack

Treasury on June %. 1884. and which the
Senate rejected the following day. Taney
| acted as Secretary of the Treasury on

| two months before the meeting Of Con-
gress, and Jackson did not send in his
nomination until six months after the
opening Of the session, when it was
promptly rejected, on account Of his ac-
ton in regard to the bank deposits.
Precedent Of 1884.
| In Niles Weekly Register of June

On Monday last, the President sent
to the Senate the nomination Of Roger

ury, and Benjamin F. Butler, as At

j 1ected-2S to 18-and the latter con-
firmed on the following day. These

and in characteristic style was
hammering the-well. he was crit

able terms-when q man in the
audience sang out:
That's right. Give it to 'em.

Right there the governor paused
long enough to say; THAT mans
a friend of mine" And then he
proceeded to give it to 'em." The
incident. his friends say. shows
that the governor is. in spite OF
an innate dignity, a good demo-
crat and good mixer.
James NJ. Cox has three times
been elected Governor of Ohio.
record that no other man has at
tanned since the civil war. And
now the democracy of Ohio is bent
upon seeing him in the White
House, and they are going out
to San Francisco next June de-
termined to nominate the governor
for chief executive of the land.
Governor Cox is just turning the
half century mark. He was born
March 81. 1870. on a farm near
Jacksonburg, Butler county. Ohio.
He was brought up on his fathers
farm and saw something of real
farm life. He attended the coun-
try schools and finally the high
school. His first work. outside of
his chores about the farm, was in
a printers shop. He was print
er's devil. Then he took to teach
ing school. and from there gravi-
tated to a newspaper office. He
became a reporter on the Cincin-
natl ENQUIRER. He was a good re-
porter, too, as newspaper men now
in Washington who worked on
Cincinnati newspapers in those
days will testify. He scored many
a "beat" for his paper and became
attached to the Enquirer in an edi-
torial capacity.
About this time Cox attracted the
notice of Representative Paul Sorg.
who. in addition to being member
of Congress. was wealthy tobacco
manufacturer. Mr.. Sorg sought him
out and brought Mr.. Cox to Wash
ington as his private secretary.
And from this position he turned
to politics. which outside the news
paper business. has been his prin-
cipal calling. In fact, he's poll
tician par excellence. He knows
all the ropes. When his enemies
are casting about for something to
say against Gov. Cox they usually
wind up with "hes a politician.
In 1908, Cox was elected to Con-
gress to represent the third Ohio
district. He was reelected in 1910
and two years later was candidate
for governor of his state. While he
was a member of the House here
he made many friends and during
his second term he served as
member of the important commit
tee on appropriations. He won out
in the gubernatoria1 race. The
state constitution had just been
amended in forty-four particulars
and it was necessary to put
through a number of laws to en-
force the new provisions Of the
amended constitution. The gov
ernor took the lead in this work,
and fifty-seven new laws were en-
acted. They were in large part
humanitarian and progressive
measures. One of the principal
laws was that establishing work.
