great executivei issues being somewhat
dormant, but the momentum of the
Roosevelt period carried over until
the election of Woodrow Wilson, an
other dominant personality of type
new to the presidency. This was fol-
lowed by the war, which, as a matter
of course, focused public attention on
the president, the commander-in-chief
of the army and navy.
In no previous cycle Of American de-
velopment was so much power con-
centrated in the executive as during
the war. 1t represented the widest
amplitude of the swing of power from
legislative to executive 1t will be
remembered how the congress enacted
, law after law, placing in the hands
of the president practically unlimited
authority. Regulation of the most
fundamental character was, in some
instances, imposed by presidential
proclamation rather than by legisla-
tive enactment. Prices were fixed in
his name, the railroads were taken
over and operated, and multitude of
other governmental activities carried
on.

treaty making power shall rest IN the
executive and the ratification power
in the hands of the senate. But in
this case, the senate went beyond d
mere consideration and the giving of
its advice and consent 1t proposed
and enacted reservations. 1t assumed
indirectly the treaty making rather
than the treaty-ratifying power. In
stead of merely taking the completed
treaty and deciding whether or not
It should be consented to, the senate
practically rewrote the treaty. When
1t finally was ratified 1t was a treaty
SO different from that which the pres
ident had signed that when it was re
turned to the White House, he pigeon
holed it, never sending it to the other
signatory powers. Recently it is re-
ported that the treaty as ratified has
been entirely lost.
A Senator Becomes President.
Now the curious result of this bios
soming into the limelight of the sen
ate was that for the first time In
American history a member of thai
body was elected to the presidency
The prominence which the senate
achieved brought its members into
| prominence and so when the time
came for election, it was to the sen
| ate that the people turned for pres
! ident. The senate's experience II
holding the whip hand caused it t.
undertake things which previously i
had left for the executive or for con
gress as a whole. BY resolution call
ing upon executive departments fol
! special reports or for special actor
or information, it arrogated to itsel
functions which before that time hat

proceeded as ruling body.
The development of the dominanc,
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-06-28

of the senate went even further. From
outward appearances, 1t seemed, after
the Inauguration, that instead of send
ing one of its members to the White
House, the senate merely had an
nexed the White House as part of
itself.
President Harding laid down his IA
nous doctrine that he did not favor
oneman government. but that he
would be guided by the best minds of
the nation He appointed Albert Fall,
one of his colleagues in the senate, to
his cabinent, and also John W. Weeks,
a former senator He maintained a
sort of unofficial or kitchen cabinet
composed almost wholly of senators.
The whole atmosphere of the admin
istration was senate atmosphere
How far this development will pro
coed is matter for conjecture. 1t is
not improbable that the senate half
of congress will lose its dominance,
but political students are convinced
that the legislative branch of the gov
eminent, as a whole, is in the saddle,
as opposed to the executive branch
for some years to come. The fact
that the two fundamental issues be
fore the country today, taxation and
credit, are congressional functions
lends color to this theory.
Congress is at work now upon the
tariff and before long will be revising
the tax laws again. Bank credit and
international credit are questions
which will occupy the congress fol
some years, SO it seems more thar
likely that 1t will hold the whip hand
again, until another turn of the whee
brings to the fore some great issue
which can only be handled by the
single figure in the White House.
The judicial branch of the American
government never has gained the sor

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Students
of politics in relation to the American
government are claiming that the
United States is beginning on new
cycle of political life. They assert that
for the next few years, probably o
decade, the senate of the United
States will occupy a dominant posi-.
ton in governmental affairs.
1t is a matter of historical fact that
since the foundation OF our govern
ment we have passed through a con-
tinuous series of cycles, the dominant
leadership shifting from the legisla-
tive to the executive branch and back
again. The development now dis
cerned is a variation of the usual. in
that 1t is the United States senate,
rather than the entire body of con-
gress. which has forged to the front.
Heretofore the succession has been
between the executive branch, headed
by the president, and the congress,
as a whole.
To trace the development in recent
| times, the close of the nineteenth Gen.
fury was a period of legislative con-
troll. These cycles are determined by
variety of factors, but the one which
brings about the leadership of the
congress is the existence of one or
more great national issues. IN the
close of the nineteenth century the
| issue was the tariff. Such questions
(, as tariff and taxation are in the hands
| of the congress. 1t alone can enact
tariff and revenue laws.
| Following the Cleveland panic, the
! country was in the mood for a high
protective tariff, and this turned the
! public attention to congress, the tariff
! framing body The Mckinley tariff
was enacted, and the congress was the
focal point of the peoples thoughts.

of ratifying treaties lie in the hands
Of the United States Ssnate.
One of the elements which brings
about these swings of dominance is the
personality of the chief executive. 1t
will be remembered that with the
treaty signed at Versailles, the presi-
dent fell i'll and was forced to retire
from public notice and from conspic-
uous place before the people. Coin
cidentally the treaty went to the SEN
ate for ratification and for the first
time in its history the senate became
alone the central point of interest.

seems not improbable. In various
earlier civilizations, the judges OF the
nation were the dominant figures and
such a situation again may arise.

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY

most GORGEOUS" IRISH
BEAUTY.
lure Newspaper Syndicate. }

XXIHEN we read the story of the
w vampire who devours mems
hearts perhaps we should pause and
wonder why She became a vampire.
There was the case of 'the most gorge
Gus Lady Blessington," as an imagin-
alive admirer called her. But she was
not born Lady Blessington, or Lady
anything else. Her father was a
drunken, roistering squire of Upper
airy, and Marguerite one of seven chill
dren. He Used to beat her with II
heavy strap, and perhaps she was glad
when he married her to a British army
captain from the nearby garrison. This
captain was a drunkard and half in
sane. He beat poor Marguerite worse
than had her father. She fled to the
parental roof, and the father ordered
her back to the captain.
Then Marguerite disappeared. Her
career as a vampire had begun. We
find her at twenty, one of the beauties
of Dublin. Sir Thomas Lawrence
painted IA picture of her which made
both famous. She had several lovers
before meeting the earl OF Blessing
ton, peer and mar of fashion. He
still held a large part of a once vast
estate. Blessington married her and
they opened house in st. James square,
London. In 1929 the couple ven to
Paris, where she met the Count dor
say, then eighteen years old. and one
of the talented dilettantes of the
French capital. Marguerite vas thir-
ty-two, but they instantly loved. The
count joined the two on their trip to
Genoa.
After romantic wanderings through
Italy, Marguerite came back to Lon
don. Then Blessington died, and she
found herself in straits. She turned
to writing, for which she always had
had some talent, and met with at least
A show of success. Her efforts served
TO attract many notables to her salon.
She continued to live with d'Orsay,
while Bulwer-Lytton, Dickens, Thack-
cray, Tom Moore and Disraeli paid her
court. The Greek god" did not seem
to care. Among the visitors vas Louis
Napoleon, afterward Napoleon III,
then broke and without friends. Mar
guerite entertained him well.
But at last all of this fine living end
ed in a crash. There still were debt
ors' prisons In England. Marguerite
and d'Orsay saw them yawning just
ahead. They owed more than $500,000
a huge sum then. 1t wars impossible
for them to leave the house except on
Sundays, so many bailiffs waited about
the door.
Then the two escaped to Paris. AS
suredly Napoleon III would help. But
he had not been called Napoleon, the
Little for nothing. He showed them
the door. Marguerite, past sixty, soon
died. D'Orsay followed her three
years later, and they sleep beneath
one stone.
