UuDGING bv the headlines so often appearing in the
u sensational press might readily reach the con
cluson that there conflict between the Pres
dent and Congress Every slight difference OF opinion
or prospect OF OF opinion, IS magnied into
bitter controversy probably through any premedi-
ated intention to msrepresent but through the desire
Of a newspaper writer to produce article that will
appeal to the reader and make apparent beat TO
his credit in competition with his nearest rival.
As each one OF the supposed bitter contests passes
away with no manifestation OF hard feelings either
side the reading public discount every report
of thar character For the benefit those who have
not noticed the failure OF to Justify the predc
tions OF the sensational writer's It well that Con-
gresham Mondel Republican leader OF the House,
took occasion recently deny the misleading reports
so often circulated In his statement Mr. Mondel said,
among other things
Anyone who will take the trouble to read the recon-
mendations OF President Harding this Congress from
time to time and to examine the record OF Congress
will find practically all OF these recommendations
have either written into law in process OF
enactment this applies particularly to the record
OF the House"
This does not that either branch OF Congress
has accepted bndly submissively recommendation
with which it did not agree. Every that has
come before either House OF Congress, including the
treaties negotiated the armaments conference has
been given the most careful consideration and scrutiny
and measures been adopted only when they were
amended to meet the best Judgment or the majority
President Harding has assumed right to die
tate to Congress There has been nothing in his mes
sages to Congress his public uerances justifyng even
an ntmation that he proposed to exercise the func-
tons OF a dictator. The Constitution makes the duty
OF the President TO advise Congress from time to time
OF the state the Union end to make accommodations
regarding needed legislation
The Constitution makes it the duty OF Congress
subject the presidential veto, to take such action
upon those recommendations as 1t deems best Presi-
dent Harding has not only fulhed the letter OF our
fundamental law creating separate branches OF govern
ment he fulfilled the spirit OF the Constitution
by promoting cooperation rather than ensendering
antagonism He has called members OF Congress into
conference frequent in order to get their
views before definitely shaping his own for submission
In written form. The spirit OF cooperation between
the legislative the executive branches OF the gov
lernmen better manifesto than Il Is today
Unfortunately for newspaper writer's peace and har-
lmony do make news. II takes conflict to win a
place on the page and in the headlines The de-

What the Records Show.
The official records show that the
total amount of grains of all kinds
received at Boston. New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore for export
during the whole OF the two months
of February and March. 1913, was
17.52l.614 bushels.
II Is conservatively correct to say
that the average carload Of grain at
the time under consideration was
about i,4OO bushels, so that the H.
500. 900 bushels that were moved 10
the four ports mentioned during the
entire months Of February and

Mr.. McAdoo refers to the move

roads in February and March. 1918,
as one Of 1.-The outstanding accom-
pllshments OF Federal control" and
he definitely asserts that what the
railroads were able to do in that
connection and particularly the New
York Central, Saved the war to
America and the Allies" He further
states that Il was necessary In that
same connection to do one OF the
most drastic things ever done In the
hisory OF American railroads which
was to send empty box cars from the
East to the West with all possible
speed to bring back return load
He also adds Il was necessary ito alb

Mr. McAdoo states that the emer.

The hve-power naval limitation
treaty was recently ratified by the
Senate practically without opposl-
tion. Congress had previously re-
quested the President to call con
ference OF naval powers for the
purpose OF ending competition In

FOR a naval holiday and limired
capital ship tonnage. was applauded
the world over as a satisfactory
adjustment OF dangerous naval
rivalries.
But the House OF Representatives

" from the spirit OF the naval

THE FIGHT TO SAVE THE NAVY

From the New York Herald.
The minority report OF the House
Appropriations Committee. protest
ing against the majorlty's drastic
slash in the moneys Allotted 70 the
navy lays a very grave matter be-
fore Congress and the country. With
the personnel of the navy cut to
$1,000, the minority report holds
that the naval policy OF 5-5-3 pro-
vided in the conference treaty can
not possibly be maintained. Under
the reduced personnel American sea
power will not be equal TO Great
Britain's. as the conference dele
gates agreed. the country wished and
the world approved. American sea
power will not he two-thirds OF
Great Britalns; It will not be even
on a par with Japan's.

ference and It was the understand
! ing of the nation that our nation
should stand in the first rank as
naval Power matched only by Great
Britain. II the niggardly appro-
/ priations which have been recon-
mended to the House In the ma

SCOTCH MARRIAGE IS LEGAL
Mans Attempt to Repdiate Wife of -, Thirty Years Is Baked by
 Edinburgh Court.


 London.-"Now you are my wife, said William Winton, lance cor poral of the Royal Scots fusiIiers, placing a ring on the finger of q girl of seventeen-CIara Wheeler-at Ayr. That was, in 1892. Recently the Edinburgh Court of Sessions decided this brief ceremony constituted a binding marriage. A It was, perhaps. the simplest mar riage ever known. There was no cere- mony by minister, register, or any, thing of the kind-just an agreement to marry and the purchase of q ring and the form of words above.
 After this the parties had lived to- gether in various parts of Scotland until two years ago, when the hus- band, then head greenkeeper at Miln- gavie, Glasgow. after a quarrel, re- pudiated his wife. <. Giving Judgment upholding the mar riage, Lord Anderson said it was clearly established that. according to Scots law, the ceremony in 1892 was a valid one and that the fact of the marriage was adequately proved by habit, repute, and by the parties hay ing lived together for over thirty years.

KILLED BY MOUNTAIN LIONS
Strange Fate of an Unidentified Man Who Rode Along a Trail
 in Oregon.

Bakersfield, Ore.-A mountain trag- edy was revealed the other day when the dismembered body of an unidenti- fled man, who had been attacked by mountain lions, was found on an old trail in the Santa Media range of mountains, eight miles southwest of Lebec on the Ridge route, by Robert Burton, a rancher.
 Tracks in the snow told the story of the mans death. Albis Stanley, another rancher, who arrived in Bakersfield in the afternoon from the scene, said that the man had evident ly fallen from his horse while riding along the trail and was probably rendered unconscious, being attacked by the animals while unable to de- fend himself.
 The horse, the man was riding, has not been found. The tragedy hap pened late in the afternoon or at night, Stanley said, as the trail was travelled earlier in the day
 There is little to identify the victim beyond few shreds of torn clothing, according to Sheriff D. Boone Newell, who went to Lebec.

 These products of the first half of the Fifteenth centdry were hung in the ducal palace at Mantua. Emperor Francis Joseph ordered their transfer temporarily to the Industrial museum of Vienna and later they were removed to the imperial palace in the Austrian capital.

HUNTER GETS BIG BEAR.
Bags Enormous Brute on Reser- vati0n of Moqui Indians in
 Arizona.
BECOMES KILLER OF STOCK
Government Hunters Have Orders Not to Molest Black Bears Unless They
 Kill Live Stock-Then They Are Doomed.

\ Washington.-When Daddy went a. hunting, according to an old nursery story, the best he could do was to get rabbit skin to wrap the Baby Bunt- ing in, but government hunter went a-hunting the other day and got a bear skin big enough to wrap the au- tomobile in-and it was a seven-pas- senger touring car, too, that the bear skin made top for.
 It happened in Arizona on the res ervation of the Moqui Indians. This 9OO-pound brute, foresaking the whole some habits of the ordinary black bear, turned cattle killer and stirred up anew all the black bear superstitions that the Indians ever had. When he wanted steer for dinner or calf for breakfast, he went out and got 1t, and there was no Indian hanging around to cry scat or shy a rock.
 Use Fox Terriers.
 Then the government hunters-those wizards of the wilds that the bureau of biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture en- ploys to protect the nations livestock interests from predatory animals went on the job. They have all sorts of aids, those hunters-guns, traps, poison-but this time they took along pack of wire-haired fox terriers.
 Fox terriers cannot kill bear, but could not defeat Ma poleon. All he could do was to hold him till endorsements came. And this pack of terriers did as we'll as Wellington. They got on the track of the bear in the snow, near the scene of his latest steer-killing operation, and trailed him to the place where he was getting ready to hole up" for the winter. The den was not con-
