A Queer Notion of Undue Influ
ence.
Senator Townsend, of Michi
gan, advances the rather novel
suggestion that the Presidential
interest ami inHuence in fram
ing tariff legislation according
to the pledge of the party plat
form on which he was elected, is
of the same pernicious quality
as that which the lobhyist work
ing for private interest and spe
cial privilege exerts.
It is somewhat difficult to be
lieve that the honorable Senator
from Michigan cau be serious in
this opinion. His evident de
sire is to be sensational in the
partisan sense rather than to be
logical and just. For a certain
ty he ignores one very impor
tant fact, and that is that the
President is part of the law-making
power, and that he derives
that authority from the Federal
Constitution.
Irrespective of party consider
ations any President who would
not exert the executive influence
toward the enactment of law
which the people demanded,
electing him as an unequivocal
expression of that demand,
would be derelict in duty. The
average American assumes,
when considering the candidacy
of any man for that high office,
that he will do thus or so; and
the verb "do" means largely
that he will use his utmost legit
imate effort to secure certain
legislation, and to enforce cer
tain law. That is the public
and it is also the correct inter
pretation of the Presidential sta
tus with respect to pending law
or laws that may be proposed.
In other words it is singularly
the President's business to do
whatever he can toward the en
actment of law that is the round
ing out of an issue upon which
he was elected. It is only by of
ficial activity and by exerting
his influence when necessary
that he can escape the charge of
recreancy. Serious criticism in
such case is ill timed; while to
make the criticism as mere po
litical clap-trap is mighty bad
taste.
sand.
It is not worth while to lament
the loss of that property, or to
wax indignant over the iniquities
of land thieves. The opening
of the forest reserve and the
tricks and dodges, by which
control slipped through the
lingers of settlers and into the
fists of lumber exploiters, belong
to the period of ruthless snatch
ing and grabbing. The big
point is that that period has
passed on that now there are
too many persons, in the govern
ment service and out, who are
jealously watchful of the people's
property and who are ready to
bring against land thieves the
high power guns of publicity if
the weapens of the courts are

This Picture Surely Proves It
Twenty-two years ago, 700,
000 acres of land in the Olympic
National Forest was restored to
the public domain and made
subject to entry, upon the repre
sentations to Washington that
the lands was of value for farm
ing purposes only.
In the course of the next ten
years, 524,000 acres of that land
had passed to the possession of
men who held it almost exclu
sively for timber. Five persons
had gained ownership of 178,000
acres and 81,530 acres belonged
to one man. In those ten years,
the cultivated land of this area,
which had been thrown open
for ' agricultural development,
amounted to one acre in a thou-

"Home" In Our Language.
In no other language, according
to the London Telegraph, is there
a word expressing the ideas and as
sociations which are aroused at the
sound of the simple yet heart touch
ing word "home." A Frenchman
once translated Cardinal Newman's
hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light," and in
his hands the beautiful line "The
night is dark, and I am far from
home," became "La nuit est sombre,
et je suis loin de mon foyer," the
translator having been obliged to
use for home the French word
which describes the green room of
a theater. The Italian and Span
ish "casa," the German "haus"
their "heim" is too eeneral to have
any particular value and the Rus
sian "doma' all reter to a ouiiuing
of some kind or other and have
none of the memories and associa
tions that cluster round the precious
English word.
The Sublime Porta.
The phnipe "sublime porte," fre
quently used to denote the govern
ment of the Turkish empire or the
country itxelf, is derived from the
French and means lofty gate. It
had its origin in the gateway of the
outer court of the seraglio at Con
stantinople, from which justice was
supposed to be administered.
