Danger in Military Power

Attorney General Daugherty's opinion that
the president has no power to use the army or
navy to enforce prohibition laws, in the absence
of special authorization by congress, merely re-
cited that such is the law, without going into the
reason of the law. The trainers of the c~onstitu-
ton feared the possibility of military dictator
ship by the executive. They were so lately emerg-
ed from a monarchial form of government and
the experiment of a federation of little republics
was SO new that they were apprehensive that
some president might declare himself king, with
succession to the office to his heirs. Kings were
the fashion in those days, republics the excep.
ton. The constitution accordingly was made to
provide that no appropriation for an army could
be for a longer term than two years, so that
congress might legislate the army out of exist
enoe, by refusing an appropriation, if there
should be danger of the executive using the mil.
itary forces to establish himself as a tyrant. 1t
was further provided that rules for the govern
ment of land and naval forces should be made
by congress. The president was made commander
in chief of the army and navy, but as such was
merely the first officer in both services. not to
rule arbitrarily but to obey the law in those of.
fetal capacities.
There was wisdom in placing restraints upon
the use of military power and there still is.
With the power in the hands of the president to
use army and navy or both to enforce whatever
he might declare to be the law, he could make
himself master over both congress and the courts
with ease. If he could enforce prohibition nv
such means, an unprincipled executive might
use the same means to enforce what never was
the law.
We have seen quite recently in Italy and Spain
what can be done with an army.

Where Prosperous Trade Exists

Within a decade our trade with the Latin
Americas has increased from sos, 100000 to
1,6S4, 000,00 or one hundred and eleven per
cent. During the fiscal year ended June 30, last,
It was twenty-five per cent of our trade with all
the world. In 1914 it was nineteen per cent of
that trade. Properly fostered 1t could be devel-
opcd 20 account for one third Of our foreign cont
merce. It is now, and probably for fifty years
hence will be, an ideal trade to encourage, for
the bulk of our imports from these countries con-
sists of raw materials to be worked up in Amer
lean mills by American labor, backed by Amer
lean enterprise. Also a considerable fraction of
the imports include bananas, coffee, cocoa, and
many other n~on-competing commodities. Our ex-
ports to these countries consist very largely of
manufactured goods of all kinds.
In 1914 our imports from the Latin Americas
and by that term is meant the countries of South
md Central America, the West Indies. and Mex
ico-totaled $i97, 000, 900 I'm value, whilo exports
TO them reached 1901 o 10000. or n balance
against us OF s196,000,0 900: In 1922 we imported
from them s679.0 10000 worth of commodities and
sold them 1886, 10000 worth or n balance against
MS for the year of S144, 900. 900. In the year ended
June 30, 1923, imports from them came to 81, O45..
100000, exports to them TO S639, 100000, or n bal
nnce against us of $l06, 000, 900. These are UNI
favorable trade balances, however, which we
need not view with alarm, since the crude prod
ucts which VIC import from the Latin Americas
become manufactured goods sent ont TO all the
world to the extent that they are not consumed
in this country. The astonishing increase in i'm.
ports. 1923 over 1922, from these countries is n
first rate Indication of the capacity nj which our
, 1923-09-24

mills were operating last year.
There are many factors present to explain the
desirability, yes, the necessity, of developing
trade with the Latin Americas. First, our tariff
policy, essential because of the low labor stand
ards and production costs of Europe and the
Orient, which compete with us in manufactured
goods, bears more lightly on the Latin Amer
icas than on other groups of countries. Cuba is
the only Latin country which has voiced any
decided opposition to the present tariff law be-
cause of her specialization in sugar. But she re
ceives a twenty per cent preferential in our mar
ket on this commodity whereby she is in a posi-
ton to compete with any other foreign country.
Second, the question of invisible exchange pre-
sents no such problem in our relations with the
Latin Americas as it does with other countries.
Movements of capital to, and some tourist ex-
penditure in, the Latin Americas are consider
able but they are conducive to still better trade
relations and more friendly associations.
Third, this is a trade unlikely to arouse the
jealousy or ire of the participants. European and
Oriental countries may watch its expansion with
envious eyes, and they undoubtedly will propa-
gandize in the future as they have in the past to
impair ii. Appraised of that fact we must be on
guard. But in general the trade of the United
States and the Latin Americas is complementary
rather than competitive, and such are the envir-
onment and temperament and characteristics of
the Latin Americans that it will be some gener-
atoms before industrial competition between the
peoples of the northern and southern republics
will show pressure.
Let the internationalist wall of Europe. The
perspieacious and practical American in for
eign trade will focus his attention on Mexico and
the lands pointed out by the Florida peninsula.

Nebraska to Experiment

Senator Norris of Nebraska has announced
his intention to retire at the expiration of his
term next March. He went to the senate as a
Republican but developed marked progressive.
if not at times radical tendencies, during his
service at Washington.
1t is his announced purpose after leaving
the senate to devote himself to reforming the
legislative system of his state, which in common
with other states of the union followed the nat
ional example and provided in its constitution
for a general assembly consisting of a house and
a senate. Senator Norris would change the lcgis-
lative functions of Nebraska from two bodies.
each operating as a check and balance on the
other, to one body. That would be an interesting
experiment indeed.
state senates, as a rule, are moro conservative
than state houses. Elected from districts instead
of counties, they represent, in agricultural
states at least, the sentiment of small groups of
counties. All the states, even Nebraska perhaps,
could testify to the value of two branches of
their Legislative body. Many a bad bill gets
through one branch only to meet deserved de.
feat in the other. No public man, we imagine,
would doubt that a single body for state legisla.
ton would increase radical rather than conser.
vative power. That may be what Senator Norris
wants.
But that sword would have two edges. A bad
Legislature could pcrsEhse E.atc terribly in one
session. A study of the bills which pass one
branch and die in the other in almost any state
must make thinking men thankful for the wis.
dom of the Fathers which followed the universal
democratic idea of establishing checks on foolish
including the executive veto.

The Unlucky Two Spot

Because It is unlucky the two dollar bill is
about to be abolished. 1t is difficult to believe
that a financier like Secretary Mellon is going
to do this because there are people who consider
1t the bearer of i'll luck to its possessor. There
are such people, and not a few of them, is not
TO be denied. but surely their superstition is
not worthy of consideration by the controller of
the country's finances, and to act on their alb.
surd apprehensions of misfortune would be TO
give too much Importance to their opinions.
There may be good and sufficient reasons for
giving up the two-dollar bill. It would not much
be missed, if at all, and its abolition would be TO
carry on the tendency to simplify our currency
that has been manifcsting itself for many years.
There is no more need of a two-dollar bill than
for putting three or four dollars together on
one piece of paper, and nobody would miss it II
1t went the way of the almost forgotten two cent
and three cent coins.
To Danish 1t as "unlucky" Is another matter.
however, and Secretary Mellon no moro should
recognize such stupidity than he should share
it-which of course he doesn't Delusions of this
sort are not merely amuslng-they are distinctly
and nleasurably harmful as the enemies of rea.
son. lt we'll may be unlucky to have a two.dolInr
bill, but the having of ono never hurt ANYBODY,
and amy denial of q fact so obvious is TO bo
roprchcnded as dlsgraceful.

to protect himself the cinch broke
and he. saddle and all went over
board. The result was a dislocated
shoulder and four broken ribs.
Mr.. Morris is able to be about
again. and desires to have the err

dent occurred when he was on his
way home after being in town cor
rected. He says that had he met
friends in town. and had a similar

would have been no injury what
