and the Presidents. They differ strikingly, however. on method.
 Said the Montana liberal as I talked with him in his office just after adjournment:
 q think the President wants to win greater rewards for our aver age citizenship by gathering and manipulating the controls of gov- ernmental machinery in Washing ton; I want to accomplish funda- mental, democratic reforms through sound law.
 Under the American system, the President can gain his end only by having a subservient Congress set up boards and bureaus to make rules |of conduct. and by winning favor able Supreme Court opinions to up- hold this procedure.
 But such bureaus are hazard ous. Either they will crawl under the wing of the President and make tllili a QlCbdtOl, WllEtilCl liC Wd1iusj to be one or not, or the rulemaking bureaus will soon find themselves dominated by the interests they are supposed to curb.
 "To prove my point, nominate such a miserable failure as NRA, or that political football, the Fed eral radio commission.
 "On the other hand, MT. Roose- welt is right when he condemns the growth of monopoly across state lines. It is true that local, county and state governments find them selves impotent to deal with eco homie royalists' whose businesses encompass several or many states. 50 it is my opinion that, when we find such a situation, the Fed eral government should try first some form of regulation to aid the states in correcting the evil.

HARSH NOTE IS SENT

ROME, Sept a.--Soyiet Russia has flatly told Fascist Italy that the answer to the charges that Italians. supposedly in a submar- inc. sunk two Russian ships in the Mediterranean, is absolutely unsat- isfactory.
 It is reported that the grave accusation made in the original note from Moscow, itself a terse communication, is considered much sharper in the reply than the original demand.
 The first note demanded immed- fate separations and punishment of the guilty submarine officers.
 The late note practically says Italy did sink the two ships and that the intolerable situation must be ended, now.
 Italy has flatly rejected the Rus- sian charges and refuses to accept the demands made.

 to give it dose of it's own medi-
 cine.
 Unless the chief executive has lost his famous tenacity he is going to set out down the road after those flying congressional coattails.
 He has already shaken his fist after the vanishing figure and re- peated to the nation that he will fight for greater opportunity great CT security, and greater happiness for the average of our citizenship
 One Man Stands Out
 When and if the President re- taliates, he probably will name nc names. But it is only natural that the lea d CT ship responsible foI thwarting Presidential plans will absorb it's share of the blows.
 The question is: Who threw the punches that killed the plan to en- large the Supreme Court? Lots of people claim credit for that. But one man took the strategic offen- sive in the Senate, where the coup de grace was delivered.
 That man is Burton K. Wheeler the sandy-haired senatorial fire ball from Montana. There's little question, furthermore, that Wheel CT represents perhaps typifies = the opposition to the Presidents 1887 program more nearly than any other one person.
