(s-K-'ffH OUR "KING PRESIDENTS" COXTRASTED WITH OUR "CONGRES SIONAL PnESIDE.'TS., An Interesting; Stndy in Political His tory uy a Supporter of the Mc Klnley Administration. Ainslee's Magazine for April contains an Interesting political article by George Ice land Hunter, entitled "Our Congressional Presidents." We make the following ex tracts: It Is not a heathy sign for tbo people o a nation always to be crying fcr a strong man to protect them against the folly or 'Wickedness of their Legislators. It Indi cates thai they have lost faith In their ability to -work modern political institu tions. It shows a fatal eagerness to shirk political responsibility. During recent years a majority of the newspapers of Continental Europe have repeatedly as eerted that only In England does Parlia mentary government hold Its own. In Germany an Emperor, conspicuous for en ergy and resolution, has exalted the po sition of the Executive, depressing cor respondingly the position of the Reichstag. In Austria, governmnt by Imperial de cree .ha recently supplanted government by the representatives of the people. In Franco it has more than once seemed as if the cnemls of popular govrnment would succeed In their attempt to install a dic tator. In the United States the power of tbo President appeared at one time ereatly to have increased, owing to the personal forco and integrity of a man, who, distrusting members of City Coun ells. Legislatures, and Congress, had ve toed his way into the Presidential chair. The New York Nation, on the 15th of June, 1, 6aid: 'The faith In the saving power of parliamentary institutions, so manifest during the first half of this century, has given way to scepticism and distrust Seventy-five years ago the people's dear est Interests were cheerfully Intrusted to the wisdom of a Legislative Assembly. ... The, forefathers fought for repre sentative government, as the only guaran tee of civil and political liberty; the sons cry out that the blessings are small and "the evils are great." It is quite true, as the Nation says, that many today, doubt tho advantages of rep resentative government, but It Is also true that in the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution there was no undue confidence in Legislatures or Congress. In pre-revolutlonary days, the -American colonists retained an enthusias tic affection for George III who, they ar gued, had been deceived by bad councillors long after they "had come to regard the English Parliament with distrust and even with hatred. During the Revolution they aw more clearly the mistakes than the virtues of the Continental Congress. And when Independence had been won on the battle-field, and military necessity no longer constrained the dissatisfied, mur murs against the inefficiency of the cen tral Legislature became constantly louder. Consequently in the Constitutional con vention there "were some so disgusted with representative government that they were almost ready to vote for hereditary mon archy, and felt that at the very least the Executive should have the power of abso lute veto. Others, radically republican, still adhered to the Idea of a Parliament responsible only to the people and unham pered by executive interference. 'me re sult of the compromise, which permits a two-thirds majority of each house to over ride a veto, has been to preserve in a marvelous manner the balanco of power between the Executive and the legislative departments. For convenience, I shall call Presidents who have been free users of the veto pow er "King Presidents," and their opposltes "Congressional Presidents." The moat striking examples of the "King President" are the two Democrats, Jackson and Cleveland, and the two Republicans, John son and Grant: the most striking examples of the "Congressional President" are the two Democrats. Jefferson and Monroe, and the two Republicans, Lincoln and iicKln ley. "King Presidents" have been inspired by the Idea that tney were the special and pe culiar representatives of the people chosen to protect the people against other repre- Kauuves. jacKson. Deing able to persuade the people that he was right, greatly ex alted the authority of the chief magistrate. "When one Congress fought him, the peo ple cent him another that was suhTnictdv Johnson could not command the support of me peupn.-, ana Dy nis attempt at absolut ism exalted the power of Congrets. Grant, though the idol of the people to the end, could not get a submissive Congress. Cleveland, who was swept Into office by a wave of popular protest against existing political abuses, retained the admiration of the people well into his second term. No President ever treated Congress with such disdain as he. Among "Congressional Presidents" Jef ferson is an extraordinary example of tho able politician. Avowedly and Intentional ly he endeavored to show that he look-d on Congress as the center of government, on himself as the servant of Congress. TJot ils personality was so attractive and the party behind him so strong, that Con gress almost without exception followed his initiative. The result of the Jefter eonian policy of allowing the representa tives of the people to govern became ap parent under Madison. The authority of the President visibly declined.- During the era. of good feeling." under Monroe, the authority of Congress was greate than at any other time in the history of our country. It did not occur to a Presi dent nominated in Congressional caucus to resist the body that had made him. Under Lincoln, tho authority of the President which. In the Interval since Jackson, had declined, noticeably increased. partly owing to Lincoln's political ability, partly to the opportunity of war. As the veto is the bludgeon which the masterful Executive employs to beat an offeuoing legislative body into submission It is clear that the number and import ance of a President's vetoes will to a ccr taln extent measure his elf-ossertlvens. The following table of vetoes is instruct ive: First 6lx Presidents .. Jackson 9 Lincoln First sixteen Presidents " r. Johnron " ,. Grant !!!!!!"!!!!"" First twenty-one Presidents""!"" 131 Cleveland ijt McKlnley !!!".!".""! 2 Total vetoes to date """"'""""tse It will be noticed that Jackson, a man of strong prejudices- which he sometime mis took for principles, all the more ndaman tlne of purpose because constitutionally unable to see more than one side of the shield, adapted by nature to military rath er than civil command, showed his opin ion of Congress by vetoing li bills, three more tnan all his predecessors. Johnson who also had an overconfidence In his own Judgment, used the veto 21 timer twice more than any predecessor except Jackson, and suffered the extreme indig nity of Tiaving 13 bills passed over lis veto. Grant in his two terms wrote veto messages. Cleveland, fresh from au tocracy from Buffalo and Albany, wrote 301 in his first term over twice as many as all tho 21 Presidents who preceded him and 12 in his second term. 'Washington wrote two, John Adams none, Jefferson none, Monroe one. Van Buren none. Lin coln thre Arthur four, McKlnley two. Five bills were passed over Cleveland's veto. Not a single member of either lioui-o has yet voted In favor of passing a bill over McKInley's veto. . . . Jackson was the first President to take the Napoleonic pose. His distrust of Congress had not been lessened by the fact that in 1S34. when the election was thrown Into the House of Representatives. John Quincy Adams was preferred to him self. So. In ISIS, when elected by a largo majority, -he was Quite In th mnnA in innt- ob Congressmen as the (also representa- Uves and himself as the only true repre sentative of the people. And before long the people, -worshiping him as the hero of New Orleans, came to believe that he could do no wrong, and that he was their pecu. liar champion. The more enemies he made among the rich, the Intelligent, the re spectable, the firmer was his hold upon the poor, the ignorant, the unfortunate. He finally attained such regal position that he was able to name his own suc cessor. And Van Buren was by no means the last Presidential candidate who sought the shelter of General Jackson's "ample military coat tail." Yet, In 1S34, the Senate of the United States, by a vote of 2S to 20, had passed the following resolution to censure Jack son for his course toward the Bank of the United States: "Resolved. That the President, in tho lato executive proceed ings in relation to the public revenue, has assumed upon himself authority and pow er not conferred by the- Constitution and laws, but in derogation of both." In sup porting the resolution, Henry Clay ac cused the President or "open, palpable, and daring usurpation." After having assumed all the powers of the 'Govern ment, executive, legislative and Judicial, he had ended by seizing the public purse, as Caesar had seized the treasury of Rome. "For moro than 15 years," said Mr. Clay, "I have been struggling to avoid tho present state of things. I thought I perceived In some proceedings (of General Jackson's) during the con duct of the Seminole War, a spirit of de fiance to tho Constitution and to -all law." And Calhoun, comparing Jackson and his followers with Caesar, said: " "With mon ey I will get men. and with men money,' was the maxim of the Roman plunderer. With money we will get partisans, with partisans votes, and with votes money. Is the maxim of our public pilferers." Grant's Administration is a most signal illustration of the folly of rpecting the military hero .to display the virtues of the statesman. Tor certainly no more modest. unassuming and well-intentioned man ever lived in tho White House. His elghtn and last message to Congress is almost pathetic. In it he said: "It was my for tune or misfortune to be called to tho office of Chief Executive without any pre vious political training. ... Under such circumstances, it is but reasonable to uppose that errors of judgment must have occurred. . . . (But) failures have been errors of Judgment, not of intent.1 Grant was unable to get over the military habit- He could not force himself to al low Congress to perform Its constitutional duties unhampered. His vetoes were nu merous, and not always 'well considered. As John Sherman says: "The policy adopted (by Grant as President), and the controlling influences around him were purely personal. He consulted but few of the Senators or members, and they were known as his personal friends. ... This was a period of bitter accusation, extend ing from the President to almost every ono In public life. . . . General Grant was so honest that he did not suspect oth ers, and no doubt confided in and was friendly 'with those who abused his confi dence. It was a period of slander and scandal." Two Presidents, Johnson and Cleveland, did not need military training to make them Imperious. The first, desplto Con gressional training, tho second, perhaps for lack of It, attempted to override Con gress. But as neither -was deified in the eyes of the people by military glory, nei ther had a lasting hold upon the affec tions of the people. So that Congress without fear of retribution passed 15 out of 21 veto bills over Johnson's veto, and the House of Representatives having im peached him, the Senate failed by only one vote to givo the two-thirds majority necessary for conviction. Johnson's extraordinary Inability to ap preciate tho nature of representative gov ernment appears in his address 'To the People of the United States," Issued on the occasion of his retirement from. the Presidency. He gives an alarming de scription of the dangers that "the govern ment may be wholly subverted and over thrown by a two-thirds majority in Con gress," and laments because "encroach ments upon the Constitution cannot bo prevented by the President alone, however devoted or determined he may be, and be cause unless the people Interpose there is no power under the Constitution to check a dominant majority of two-thirds in the Congress of the United States," and be cause "the veto power lodged in the Exec utivo by the Constitution for the Interest and protection of the people, and exer cised by Washington and his successors, has been rendered nugatory by a partisan majority of two-thirds in each branch of the National Legislature." Cleveland was. Indeed, on extraordinary President in ordinary times. With ai nat ural self-confidence multiplied a thousand fold by his meteoric riso into National prominence, he tried to manage Congress by bulldozing it as he had previously man aged the City Council of Buffalo and the Legislature of New York. And although ho failed to establish, like Jackson, an all-powerful personal machine, and al though, by 1S9I, he had succeeded In alien1 ating not only the representatives of the people, but the people themselves, to such an extent that the New York Tribune said, "President Cleveland is politically tho most lonely man on earth," he did suc ceed in getting himself twice renominated and once re-elected. ... I should llko to say much about Lincoln, the third of the "Congressional Presi dents" whom I have named, for more than any other he illustrates what enor mous good can be done by tho skillful poli tician. At a period when recrimination was rife, when every defeat In battle brought an avalanche of abuse upon the administration, when those who were loyal wero divided Into numerous cliques, each with its panacea, Lincoln patiently and gently waited until both Congress and people wanted what he wanted, and then acted immediately, vigorously, effectively. Extremists were never satisfied with Lincoln. They called him an opportunist. They lost patience with his dilly-dallying. They could not see with the eyes of posterity which perceive that Lincoln was right in refusing to Issue the Emancipation Proclamation until the critical moment had come. Lincoln never hesitated to offer office to thoso willing and able to help him. The personnel of his Cabinet was always dic tated by political considerations. He ob tained the support of a great New York newspaper by appointing Its editor min ister to one of the European capitals. Ho tried to settle factional quarrels In the different states by the judicious bestowal of patronage. Tho result of hla political sagacity was that Congress trusted him and the people trusted him. It was clear that no personal opinion would be pre ferred to the opinion of his constituents. He appreciated his duty as representative ns well as his duty to his own ideal. Con sequently his opinion always received the most respectful cons'deratlon from Con gress, and had more persuasive Influence than that of dictatorial Presidents. The training of President McKlnley has been such that he certainly ought to-be a "Congressional President." He was a member of the House of Representatives for 13 years, during which he rose to the position of leader of his party and took part In much of tho most Important leg islation. Here he learned to understand the real motives of the averago Congress man, and to appreciate the fact that many of his fellow-members were men of marked ability, and that most wero men of honesty. Here he watched with impa tience the non-Congressional attitude of Cleveland. Here he became the acquaint ance or friend of Republicans and Demo crats who were later to support or op pose the policies of his administration Here ho acquired an intimate knowledge of the working of the entire governmental machine President McKlnley Is at once a parti san and a peacemaker. He has settled many party quarrels, arid Is said never to have been a participant In any. At times he has shown a loyalty to others almost too altruistic to seem credible in political life. The roost notable Instance was in 1$ when the Ohio delegation went to the Na tional Republican Convention pledged for Sherman. There were several candidates, and the contest was prolonged. The dler gates were becoming weary. There -was an admirable chance for a "dark horse." When It came to the sixth ballot some one voted for William McKlnley. The delegates cheered. The state following gave him 17 votes. It looked Hke McKln ley. His labors for Sherman, his pleas for the Ohio Senator as he went from delegation to delegation, "had won sup port for himself. Then McKlnley, with a stern look In his face, stepped on a chair and began to speak. There was In his voice a tone not natural to It, a defiant tone. The Ohio delegation had been in structed for Sherman, be said, and duty forbade McKlnley to remain silent. "I should, not respect myself If I could find It In my heart to do. or to permit to be done, that which could even be ground for any one to suspect that I wavered in my loyalty to .Ohio, or any devotion to the chief of her choice and the chief of mine. I do not request I demand that no delegate who would not cast reflection upon me shall cast a ballot for me," McKInley's nomination at tho St. Louis Convention in K36 was the natural re sult of his career as party leader. Other Republican leaders as well as the Repub lican rank and file called for McKlnley. All were his friends, for he had antagon ized -none. Hla election, they believed, would promote the interests of the party as well as tho interests of the country. It is ni party leader that McKlnley has been able to wield the vast Influence FIRST PRESBYTERIAN P H UlJJ xrsw , 1 1 m h h r 1 .j e-s--3K-5S immw"-"' 'T'K3TCoqV-0 . ' Recent additions and Improvements cost 70000, and this Is now ono of tbe largest and finest churches in the capital city. The auditorium will seat GOO persons. which some complain of and others deny. His party allies In Congress, to whom some say he is too submissive, stand by him through thick and thin. They are alert to checkmate moves made against him or his administration by political op ponents. , In return, they reap the reward that comes from the control of political patronage. They take counsel -with the President, and can therefore explain the motives of the Administration to tho coun try at large. They advise tho President, and as he often gives in to them, they are able with better grace to give In to him upon occasion. President McKlnley has not been content, however, to main tain harmony within the ranks of his own party. He has made numerous ef forts to enlist the aid of political oppon ents. It is hardly necessary to add, what everybody knows, that he has done this with remarkable, success. Critics who are hostile to parliamentary government In general, and to a "Con gressional Prcslaent" in particular, find a point of attack In the harmony that now exists between Congress and tbe execu tive. They see in this harmony the de generacy of our Institutions. Last year the New York Nation said: 'There was to be, while he (McKlnley) was President, none of that Incessant disagreement and quarreling between tho Executive and Congress which marked and .marred the second administration of Mr. Cleveland. Instead of an irritable and pig-headed President, we were to have one all suavity and infinite tact, and Instead of an Executive and Congress at perpetual loggerheads, wo wero to see tho two moving oh in spheric harmony. Distinct, notice of the change to come was served in Mr. McKInley's Inaugural when he said: " 'I do not sympathize, with the senti ment that Congress in session is danger ous to our business interests.' And there was a veritable cry, "I'm wld ye, me byes!' In his first annual message to Con gress, of which the opening sentence was: 'It gives me pleasure to extend greeting to tho Fifty-fifth Congress . . . with many of whose Senators and Rcpresenta tlvea I have been associated in tbe legis lative service.' " It cannot be denied that In harmony there Is danger, and that when the wheels of the governmental machine run smooth ly we have quite as much need to be on tho watch as when they creak. But hu man nature is such that the average citizen must bo, spurred to his civic duty by the necessity of reform, and not until corruption is rifo will ho exert himself "to turn the rascals out." Then he calls for non-compromisers to hold the .elec tive offices. Then ho demands a "King President." But Inasmuch as It is more Important to do than to undo, and as con structive statesmanship remains Impos sible while the Executive devotes himself to the task of thwarting Congress, and Congress devotes itself to the task of thwarting the Executive, there comes a time for recrimination to cease. Then, with Congress nnd a. "Congressional Pres ident" working together, we begin to ap preciate what a brilliant part In world history belongs to the seventy million men and women of the United States. DREAMING.
