PAGE FOUR. THE CAPITAL JOURNAL FRIDAY, FEBRUARY; THLLAPIJALJUUKNAL AN INDEPENDENT NHWKPffci HOOTS CAMPAIGN ISSUE Published every evenlui expt u mj by Ths Capital Journal Printing . Telephones circulation mo omim evvnciii m vnc tniui-cu j CCORDING to Elihu Root the principal issue of the coming campaign Bhould be the decentralization of executive pow ers which have made the president "more autocratic than any Ofucc. si; Editors room t . To nut an end to the "dictatorshin which we created in order oeouob putnam. emo!-pbmimww J to carry on the war" the primary essential is to end the state of war by ratifying the peace treaty. Automatically tne special emergency powers then conferred upon the president will expire. It is ud to the senate to abolish "dictatorship" by making peace. It is quite the partisan fashion to view with alarm the auto cratic powers of the presidency, when the executive belongs to the opposition party. The Democrats viewed the "dictatorship of Roosevelt with alarm in 1908, and before then, the Republicans viewed Grover Cleveland with alarm for the same reason. The "dictatorship" usually consists in the president's insist ing on the passage of a certain program of legislation to force recalcitrant congressmen into line instead of leaving the pol iticians to run affairs to suit themselves. Whenever a strong man becomes president," the politicians raise the cry of dictator. Whenever a president keeps hands off and lets the politicians run the government, the people begin clamoring for an executive courageous enough to exercise his OrPfTfin power in their behalf. , If any new laws are necessary to curb the powers of the ex- nfervations ecutive, the republican majority of congress has the power to pass them. There is no more necessity for making the subject a cam paign issue, than it is to make peace a campaign issue such talk is merely for political effect.

CINCE the war ended the country has been suffering from what General Grant termed after the civil war, the "fury of the non-combatants." Those who did not fight at the front and spent no energy behind the lines in making victory possible, are busy assailing those who did and endeavoring to belittle and dis credit patriotic efforts. An instance m point is the report of Congressman i rear, ot Wisconsin, upon spruce division activities in which everybody connected with the government effort to provide airship mater ial is denounced and condemned, with the implication that all were grafters and wasters. Frear's own war record consists in voting against the declaration of war, against the draft and against measures for the national defense. Another instance is the attack upon Herbert Hoover by Sena tor Reed of Missouri, who exudes abuse and slander whenever the name of the food administrator is mentioned. Reed opposed the war and all the vital measures for winning it, and delayed their passage by his unending demagogy. Yet another instance, even near home, is the assault upon Max II. Hauser, vice president of the United States Grain Corpor ation for the northwest, by a Spokane grand jury, which accuses him of using the office to personally speculate and profiteer in grain operations, when the truth was that he only served from patriotic motived at the request of the president and at personal loss to himself and his record of efficiency in office speaks for itself. The barage of slander is directed against everybody, connect ed in winning the war. Everyone who gave unstintedly of his time, and energy and lavishly of his money to help his country in the hour of need suffers the "fury of the non-combatants", for is this not a political year, and must not the war be discredited, for the benefit of politicians ? Now that the republican state convention of New York has gone on record in favor of speedy ratification of the peace treaty, perhaps the senate will speed up consideration, although it begins to appear as if the senate waa waiting for every state convention of both parties to act, before seriously considering ratification.

Farmer Green threw back his hoad and laughed loudly. "Don't you believe me?" Johnnie asked him. "Here's the blue jay's tail-feather, anyhow. And that ought at '.he stranger again.

RETIREMENT The blamedest bard that ever was, all day I punch my lyre; and piusssing neighbors often pause, and say, "Why not retire? You have a bundle put away, so let your labors close; you now are locoed, bent and i. iy, and need a long repose. So put away your ancient harp, Hurt can the dhythmic wheeze, and emulate the flossy sharp who basks in gilded ease." And still my trusty harp I swat, as I have done so long, and every day attempt to trot upon the peaks of song. For when a man lays down his tools, and says he'll work no more, and joins the loafing bunch that drools around the Blue Front store, he advertises to all men, to everyone's distress, that he will never find again the number of his mess. Oh, not for me the rocking chair before a dotard's fire, and long white whiskers made of hair I won't give up my lyre. I'll never see the day, I trust, when I'll be satisfied to sit around the house and rust and some punk hobby ride. For years to come, I have the hunch, I'll write my limping lines, and make Bill Shakespeare and that bunch take in their blooming signs.
