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.

WASHINGTON, July 3t. "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.
