INTRODUCING POLITICS IX order t rilt' and tic th.' hands of the reMdent end impede the vigorous cuiwlii.t of the war, a.s well as to delay the eiiaetment of the food eontrol measure, the friends of the kaiser in the senate attached a rider to the emasculated fond hill providing a committee of senators and congressmen to supervise war expenditures in other words, to hamper for partisan advantage the prosecution of the war hy em-roaching upon the prerogatives of the executive. The duty of congress is clearly defined hy the consti tution. Jt is to legislate. The duty of the president and cabinet is equally clearly defined. It is to administer. Congress, hy its action, is attempting to assume the illegal rights of administration. Such dual authority cannot re sult in other than division and dissension, and effectually prevent the vigorous prosecution of the war. Those advo cating it arc placing partisan advantage above national necessity. If the president does not make good, if he misuses or abuses his power, congress is given the power of impeach ment. f any member of the cabinet fails to deliver the goods, he can he impeached. Hut to attempt to hamper and spy upon the executive and tie his hands for political capital is both unfair and unpatriotic. Thus far, the pres ident has shown that he is far more capable in outlining war necessities and needs than congress has been in enact ing them. was because the framers of the constitution recog nized the necessity for concentration of power in a single head in war tiihe that the president was made commander-in-chief of the army and navy and given .siiprenie'power, accountable to congress. ' successful war can be waged under divided authority. Russia has given a glaring ex ample of the failure of town meeting-house government applied to war, and been forced to create Kerensky dic tator with supreme power, tho without constitutional au thority. The senate of the United States is attempting to restrict the constitutional supreme authority of the exec utive. President "Wilson has called attention, in his protest, to the failure of such a committee during the civil war, when an unfriendly and partisan congress attempted to hamstring President Lincoln and succeeded in causing no end of friction and in seriously handicapping the pres ident in his conduct of the conflict. Concerning this civil wai ngrcssional committee. (Jideon Wells, secretary of the navy under Lincoln, wrote in his diary: The report of the Committee on the Conduct of the War is today pub lished. Tills method of supervising military operations is of more than questionable utility. Little good can be expected of these partisan super visors of the government at anytime. They are partisan and arc made up of persons not very competent to form correct and intelligent opinions of the army or Davy operations or administrative purposes, They are most of them narrow and prejudiced partisans, mischievous titisybodles and a discredit to congress. Mean and contemptible partisanship colors all their acts. Secretly opposed to the president, they hope to make some thing of Butler. Lincoln himself regarded this committee as a nuisance, but was powerless to prevent its machinations. The day after Lincoln's death the committee called upon Andrew Johnson, and Hen Wade, its chairman, said: "Johnson, we have ralth in you. Hy the pods, there will he no trouble now In running the government." Such a committee would play politics with the army and navy a useless fifth wheel which would impede prog ress by usurpation of power. No authority exists for such a committee, which would only muddle things by usurping the authority of the executive and of standing committees. The administration is seeking to avoid the mistakes of the civil war. The general staff is running the army and navy with the co-operation of the national defense hoard, comprising the biggest men of the country. It is because politics has been eliminated and congressmen have been denied ihe privilege of naming political u;v erals and a voice in the placing of fat contracts, that the desire for interference for personal and partisan purposes is attempted. The president is right in his stand on the food bill and on the committee of war supervision as he was on the declaration of war, and the senate's opposition has put llie senate, with its pro-( iei nianism, in a bad light with the people. It has crippled, by its endless, senseless debates, the military progress of the nal ion. and done little to jus tify public confidence that it is working for the successful prosecution of the war.

"Anoth er Shreveport case"' is the diagnosis presented by the Southern J'acific company of the rate troubles of Med ford, Oregon. In the company's view the only way to rescue Medford from its predicament is for the interstate commerce commission to intervene and spank the Oregon and California stato commissions, particularly the latter. This versian of the matter is given in a brief filed with the interstate commerce commission on the com plaint brought by the Medford com mercial club against the Southern Pa cific. Medford complained that class rates from that town into northern California and to Klamath Falls are so made as to discriminate in favor of jobbers in San Francisco, Sacramento and Portland. This condition has come about, says the railroad brief, because low rates within California to the Oregon line were ordered In by tho California commission, and prior to that reduc tions within Oregon to the California line were made by the Oregon com mission. As a result of the interstate rates across the state line, which Med ford has to use to reach northern Cali fornia, are comparatively high. ' Med ford Jobbers are in a serious predicament." says the railroad, "bnt the Southern Pacific is not responsi ble for it. The whole question is one of rate relationship, and Medford has been between the two millstones." There is no avenue of relief, it is asserted, except by an order of tho Interstate commission permitting the railroad to adjust its California rates between Sau Francisco and Medford to the basis that existed before the California commission compelled re ductions to be- made, which would produce the same isue as iu the Shreveport case.
