Power of President
To Remove Officers
70 the Editor ~ Tbs Ctor.

TO the Editor Of The Star:
My letter recently printed in The
Star on the Humphrey case appears to
have created some confusion in the
minds Of many from the questions I
have been asked about it. I discussed
the Meyers decision of the Supreme
10 the Humphrey case, but did mention
the fact that the decision contained
power Of the President to remove.
The questions asked me indicated
that many well-educated and generally
well informed people have little ac-
quaintance with the Constitution and
the distinguishing principles that char
acterize our Government, especially the
separation of the several departments
that is. the executive. legislative and
judicial-each being forbidden to exer-
else any function properly belonging to
the other This assured the independ-
ence of the judiciary, and the principle
was something new in government, and
constituted our chief contribution to
the science Of government.
To my surprise. was repeatedly
asked if the President had power to
remove Federal judges, and my ques-
toner was no less surprised when I
answered no-that they could be re-
moved only by impeachment, preferred
by the House and tried by the Senate
which Is necessary to preserve the in
dependence Of the judges and the ju-
dicial department Of the government.
Much has been said in the papers
about the quasi judicial character Of
the Federal Trade Commission. True, 1t
is a quasi judicial body. but that does
not make the commissioners judges
under the Constitution. They are merely
officers, and are subject to the same
rules as are all other such officers

M. Daladier's Fall.

Because Frenchmen have an ingrained
dislike of taxes, and Premier Daladiers
plans to impose new ones for budget
balancing purposes were repugnant to
them, the French cabinet fell early this
morning. It's defeat in the Chamber
Of Deputies was decisive. the adverse
vote being 329 to 24l.
The governments defeat had been
foreshadowed for days. despite skllful
parliamentary maneuvering to stave 1t
on. At first 1t seemed as II the new
nenace to European peace conjured up
by German action at Geneva might save
me day for M. Daladier. But 1t did not
avail. Nor did the flight Of gold from
Paris and imminent fall Of the franc Is
the consequence Of budget dimculties
serve the cabinets purposes. The cabinet
asked for drastic economies, particu-
Ihrly cuts in veterans pensions and IN
tae wages Of government employees. and
IN addition proposed Increased taxation
in several directions. The basic object

Autumn.

The annual miracle OF Autumn Is
being worked in every field and wood
land In the vicinity Of washington, and
the spectacle is beautiful beyond the
power Of words to tell. The poet Thomas
Hood must have had something like
Maryland or Virginia landscape in mind
when he essayed the graceful lines:
How bravely Autumn paints upon the
sky
The gorgeous fame Of Summer which
is fled!
A hundred other bards have tried to
chronicle the heeting loveliness Of the
season. but the most talented Of them
have had but Indifferent success. Eliza
beth Barrett Browning, with womans
sensitiveness, was fortunate in her in
vention of the epigram:
Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush af1re with
Cod.
Perhaps her appreciation was akin to
that of the little child who inquired all
seriously if it would be proper to thank
Our Father for the naples" Certainly,
it is natural to con 7eive of October's
blaze Of color as being the cr0at on OF
= celestial artist. No human painter
ever has had the skill to reproduce 1t
as 1t really is ] Ike those who vainly
strive to reproduce the glory of it in
lapgue ge, the men who toll to record 1t
with pigments uron c9n"aS ere ham
pered by the inadoquacy of their ma
terials.
But the grandeur and majesty Of
Autumn, none the less, Is the possession
Of all who have eyes to see. There is
nothing moe democratic. 1t belongs to
any and every passer-by. No single
individual or class may possess 1t to
the exclusion of the rest Of mankind.
1t is common property, and provi-
dentially 1t is generally appreciated.
Dull and unresponsive, indeed, would be
the soul Indifferent to such gift. Per-
haps it is not too much to say that the
best of life is like that-intangible.

Folk Speech.

President Roosevelt, addressing the
people over the air Sunday evening,
used the peoples language in the COM
position Of his speech. 1t probably was
deliberate choice. Aristocrat born
and university trained he may be. but
the colloquial tongue Of the Nation is
good enough in his judgment on such
an occasion as that Of . radio broad
cast. Such metaphorical expressions
as AK to grind" and "cart before the
horse" are legitimate. common In Eng
nsh literature, confirmed in their status
by generations Of employment.
However, it is the word "chiselers"
which has prompted most comment.
Familiar as q slang term frequent in
the vocabulary Of professional writer's
of so-called crime stories, it has a pic
turesque significance, depicting as it
does q type Of selfish intruder and a
variety Of greedy interference. Some,
possibly, have thought Of it as gang
ster production, since 1t has been in
that environment that it has enjoyed
its chief popularity. The movies, the
radio and the vaudeville theater have
promoted its general use.
But DR.. Frank H. Vizetelly, veteran
photographer, tastens to the Presi-
dents rescue. He has found the term
in an English dictionary Of 1908
and in an American dictionary of
1s4s. The Century Dictionary has
the verb "chisel," meaning ito cut,
pare, souse or engrave with chise";
also "tigurstively, to cut close, as in
bargain: cheat; Is. to chisel one out
Of his share" and the teme authority
cites from Anthony Trollope's THE
Prime Minister" the example: Il
don't suppose any one ever had lower
motives than the duchess when she
chiselled me about Silverb9idge."

gone . LITTLE TOO far IN his opinion

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Those who have been compelled to
give the fiea attention often have seen
scores Of them upon the legs Of other
human beings who did not at the time
realize that they were the unwilling
hosts Of the pests.
Just why the flea selects some per-
sons to bite, and others not to bite, is
another mystery Of the creature. Those
whom 1t bites find that 1t Is among
the most irritating OF all insect bites.
And there Is absolutely nothing
humorous about It.
A well-known Washingtonian recent
ly announced to his coterie that he had
taken to bathing with flea soap, In
Immediately o great laugh went up.
Actually. however. the soap was a
very fine soap, Of pleasant odor, and
quite eficient along its line.
II it was good enough for his dog,
he thought, It would be good enough
for him, and 90 he found 1t.
The best part Of 1t was that it worked.
The number Of bites on his ankles, the
favorite feeding ground. evidently, Of
the flea population, was reduced to al
most nil.
In the meantime the fight to rid the
household Of the pests continued with
unreQuitttng Wgor. This one family
found out that spraying and spreading
Of powder at least once a week was the
best procedure. Authorities agree that
flea generations arrive once every two
weeks, but this investigator declares
that once a week Is nearer to the real
truth.
No doubt part Of the popular appeal
Of the fleas-on some one eLse-lies in
the fact that they tgnorantly suppose
1t 10 give them an opportunity to sneer
at the unwary person who so offers
them lever Of laughter.
They believe, not knowing that the
biting fiea Of America is the dog-and-
cat flea, that it is the so-called human
flea. so popular In Old World song and
story.
The latter flea is associated in the
popular mind with dirt and personal
uncleanliness. To confess to "fleas" is
the same, In such minds, as confessing
to personal dirtiness.
Much Of mankinds humor similarly
reposes on the solid foundation Of the
sneer. Much popular fun is simply a
sneaking sneer under the guise of good
NATURE.
The dog-and-cat flea prefers cleanli-
ness, as q matter Of fact. There Is
nothing that a flea likes better than a
nice, clean house or a nice, clean per-
son.
The cleaner the host, whether ami
NAL or man, the better the flea likes it.
Its instinct tells 1t that on such a host.
In such . house, its generations will
f1nd less to harm them.
1t Is not generally known that some
particular animals, and especially some
colors. attract fleas more than others.
A yellow cat. for instance, will be
found to harbor a far less number Of
deas than a black and white specimen
Certain kinds Of dogs bear more fieas
per square inch than other breeds. The
tenacity with which the flea holds onto
life Is well known to pet lovers-and to
those who make preparations to ex-
terminate them. The only good flea is
a dead flea, but you have to be sure it
is dead
No, there isn't anything funny about
nea. especially If they will bite you.
They simply do not bite those persons
who find them uproariously humorous.
Maybe such people are too tough, but
at any rate they are fortunate

Mr.. Debuchi's Recall,

Today, which happens to be exactly

sumo his duties here. No less regret
table is the reason suggested for his
departure. Mr.. Debuchi. it appears, has
not been q sufficiently aggressive envoy
In connection with Manchuria and Is,
therefore, persona non gratissima with
the japanese military party. Ever since
the inception Of the Manchukuo adven-
ture, two years ago. Mr.. Debuchi's re-
tirement has been reported as probable
Japan has defied the world on the
Manchukuo issue. bolted the League of
Nations and made herself indisputable
mistress of vast sections Of China The
United States has never concealed its
disapproval Of Japan's action. as exem-
plifled by the "Stimson doctrine" which
sets forth our refusal to acknowledge
the validity Of territorial situations
created in violation of international
treaties Evidently it is Mr. Debuchi's
failure to persuade Washington to rec
ognize puppet Manchukuo that irks the
war lords now in control at TOXIC and
made them think that the Ambassador
has outlived his usefulness, although at
the State Department he won a reputa-
tion for uncommon zeal.
The American people are hopeful
that some day enlightened statesmen
like Baron Shidehara, Tsuneo Matsu-
daira and Katsuji Debuchi. all three
Of whom have represented their coun-
try at Washington, will come to be the
prevailing influence in Japanese foreign
policy. Their long experience in the
Occident has taught them that Japan's
best interests lie in cooperation with,
not alienation from, the West. At pres
ent their school of thought is powerless
against the militarist clique. In other
times, when the civilian element is no
longer voice in the wilderness, the
services to the cause of international
understanding rendered by statesmen of
Mr.. Debuchis type will be gratefully
recalled

it will be remembered that beneath its
roof the retiring envoy and his chate-

friendship between that country and
our own.

Soviet Recognition
Opposition Is Voiced

Opposition Is Voiced
To the Editor of The Star:
Your editorial In The Sunday Star
concerning relations with Russia met
with great appreciation in this family.
The value in influence of a good edi-
torial can hardly be calculated.
Cannot something more be done to
convince the President before it is too
late, that the recognition of Russia by
the United States Government would
to placing a stamp of approval on that
for which the Soviet stands-denial Of
God and the destruction of the sancttty
Of the home. The economic expert
Notwithstanding and wantonly cruel
as it is-pales into insignificance be-
side these two evils
To even the most unthinking It IA
plain that the move for recognition Is
for purely financial reasons selling
Of Americas principles to a high bidder
AS Russia is supposed to be.
Do keep up your editorials against
the movement and II within your
power encourage any other method
which will show the President that this
course Is not the will Of the people who
have their country's highest good at
heart. MRS. 3. J. LANE.

that the Presidents use Of the word
automatically elevates 1t from the
status Of slang to colloquialism" and
when q man Of such station
employs q slang phrase he clothes it
with dignity" Such a theory. 1t
would seem. Is somewhat difficult to
support. It implies that language comes
down to the people from above, whereas
history supports the view that the
contrary almost invariably is the case.
It is from folk speech that vitality Is
introduced into the dictionaries and
lexicons. And it was the folk to whom
the President was talking. He spoke
their language because he wanted them
to understand.

Acreage Well Distributed.

From the San Antonio Evening News.
Transfer Of several million acres the
country over from wheat and corn to
pasture and cover or building crops
will tend to reduce the output of meat
and dairy products. That Is the agri-
cultural economists answer to asser-
tions that the Wallace plan would in
crease, rather than diminish or remove,
the surplus Of those commodities. The
experts point out that pasturage, graz
ing and forage cropS-even If utilized
to the fullest extent poSsible-produce
far less meat and butterfat to the acre
than the harvested grain crops. The
same principle applies to The cotton
farmer, who may feed cottonseed to the
dairy herd or-as he Is more likely to
do-exchange it for commercial feed
stuffs
On the other hand, pasture land sown
In some permanent grass. like Bermuda,
will yield beef and pork, milk and butter
more economically than will the staple
grain crops Another great advantage
is that pasture land Is not washed away
by heavy rains. On the contrary, It
gradually is built up year by year. The
balanced farming scheme calls for a
proper distribution Of the acreage among
cotton. feed stuffs, vegetables and other
subsistence crops, the soil-building crops,
pasture and timberland. Such di-
vision affords q basis Of lasting agri-
cultural prosperity.
