THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONGRESS
Tlie f the Ua'ted States long ago l>eca:ne accustomed to
:!-.(■ idea that when -prec-' lent stood in the way of President Wil
t n's well thought out phots or police's it was the nature of tht
man to brush it aside. And so when the announcement came
that he had expressed a desire to address the senate upon abstract
ptobietns of our relations with other world powers, there was no
great surprise. But there must have been a rattling of dry bone:
in the upper house of congress, and a suppressed resentment that
the chief executive should seek to exercise a prerogative for which
there was no cither authority than implication in tlie constitution,
and which had not been claimed by any President since Washing
ton's time. That tiic gravity of the occasion demanded that tlie
I’losldoiit [ lace his views before the country in the most impres
sive manner possible was no doubt the justification for his course;
and that he has thoroughly succeeded in his aim is evidenced by
tlie remark - of leading senators. It is quite likely that, as in the
ease of his reading of his messages to congress instead of transmit
ting them, according to custom, he will continue the practice in
augurated last M-n iiy. and no doubt it will have the desired ef
fect of bringing the people of the entire country into closer touch
with congre.-s through a -spoke: man of the nation as a whole."
In his bock, “Constitutional Government in the United States,”
being a reproduction of a series of lectures delivered at Columbia
University in 1007, the then Professor Wilson, probably with no j
thought of id: future occupancy of ttie White House, defined the
functions of the various governmental divisions, ihe chapter on
"The President of the United States” is especially interesting at
this time, inasmuch .as he forecasts the action taken by him last
y n.lay Ife say.- :
Leadership in government naturally belongs to
its exi -utivc office:s. who are daily in contact with practic.J
c .minions and exigencies, and whose reputations : like for
good government and for fidelity are at stake much more
than are those of the members of the legislative body at every
turn of the law’s application. The law-making part of the
giv 'inment ought certainly to be very hospitable to the sug
ge-tioiis of the planning and acting part of it. Those Presi
dents who have felt themselves bound to adhere to the strict
literary theory of the constitution have scrupulously refrained j
from attempting to determine either the subjects or the char
acter of legislation, except so far as they were obliged to de
cide for themselves, after congress had acted, whether they
should acquiesce in it or not. And yet tlie constitution ex
] licitly authorizes the President to recommend to congress
■„uch measures as lie shall deem necessary and expedient,’ and
it is not necessary to the integrity of even the literary theory
of the constitution to insist that such recommendations should
be merely perfunctory. Certainly General Washington did not
so regard them, and he stood much nearer the Whig theory
than we do. A President's messages to congress have no more
weight or authority than their intrinsic reasonableness and
importance give them; but that is their only constitutional
limitation. The constitution certainly does not forbid tiie
President to back them up, as General Washington did. with
such personal force and influence as he may possess. Some of
our Presidents have felt the need, which unquestionably exists
in our system, for some spokesman of the nation as a whole,
in matters of legislation no less than in other matters, and
have tried to supply congress with the leadership of ,-ugges-,
nun. backed by argument and by iteration and by every le
gitimate appeal to public opinion. Cabinet officers are shut
out from congress; the President himself has, by custom, no
access to its floor; many long-established barriers of precedent,
though not of law, hinder him from exercising any direct in
fluence upon its deliberations; and yet he is undoubtedly the j
only spokesman of the whole people. They have again and ;
again, as often as they were afforded the opportunity, mani- j
festod their satisfaction when he lias boldly accepted the role j
of leader, to which the peculiar origin and character of his I
mthority entitle him. The constitution bids him speak, and j
times of stress and change must more and more thrust upon j
him tlie attitude of originator of policies.
"His is the vital place of action in the system, whether he i
accept it as such or not, and the office is the measure of the
man—of his wisdom as well as of his force. His veto abun- j
dandy equips him to stay the hand of congress when he will.
It is seldom possible to pass a measure over his veto, and no
Preiide-nt has hesitated to use the vc-to when his own judg
ment of tile public good was seriously at issue with that of the
house.-:. Tlie veto has never been sutfered to fall into even
iy ! -- ■:■ i.dh us. * The.framers of the
roar:- :tion mud - our President a more powerful, because
more isolated, king than the one they were imitating; and j
because the constitution gave them their veto in such explicit j
terms, our Presidents have not hesitated to use it, even when |
it put their mere individual judgment against that of large j
majorities in both houses of congress. And yet in the exer
cise of the power to suggest legislation, quite as explicitly j
conferred upon them by the constitution, some of our Prcsi- |
dents have seemed to have a timid fear that they might of
fend some law of taste which had become a constitutional
principle.”
The President's theory, as set forth in his book, is that as the !
seriate is composed of spokesmen of the various states, and the :
house of representatives is made up of the spokesmen of the peo
ple of small ami widely-separated districts, the President, as the
spokesman of the “whole people” of the country, has a specific |
duty to perform in the initiation of new legislation.
PERHAPS IT WAS NO JOKE
i
One of the great Alaska jokes of last winter was the mes
sage from Secretary of the Interior Lane to a member of the j
Alaska railroad commission at Seward. The secretary compli- I
mented the commissioner on his courage and fidelity in stick
ing to his post during the rigors of an Alaskan winter. The j
commissioner, with his fat salary, surrounded by servants, in
comfortable quarters, and in a climate not particularly severe,
burely was.entitled to high commendation by his superiors.
The highest kind of judgment was shown, too, in making the
message public, so that everybody might know the supreme
heroism of the railroad commissioner. There are several thou- J
sand Alaskans who pass the winter year after year without
salaries of railroad proportions, without servants and under
conditions which would make a lot of people whimper, who
never get any praise from Washington, and who would resent
it if offered. Secretary Lane is a fine man, but it is hoped
that he knows enough by this time not to rasp the risibles of
Alaskans by congratulating an official for doing something
that a sick baby could do equally well.—Nome Nugget.
But is it not possible that the secretary of the interior was in
dulging in a quiet dig at some of our Alaska officials who 30 fre
quently find business on the Outside before the cold weather sets
in? Secretary Lane is not so ignorant of Alaska conditions as the
Nome newspaper would imply.

Andrew Norland, recently elected representative to the terri
torial legislature from the Fourth division, has, been telling hi
fellow-townsmcn at Fairbanks that “the most important duty
confronting the delegation from this district is the securing of
sufficient funds to start work on the School of Mines.” to be 1
cated at Fairbanks, of course. He will be glad, he says, to have
the assistance of every man in Fairbanks, and asks that they usi
any influence they may have to see that the funds are obtained
We venture the assertion that Mr. Norland will experience diffi
eulty in proving to the residents of the Fourth division outside o'
Fairbanks that the securing of a public institution of doubtfi I
present value to bis home city is the “most important duty” con
fronting the members of the legislature. There is prevalent ai
impression that there will be several questions before the cornin'
legislature which will loom larger in the minds of ti e people of
this district than the one mentioned by the new legislator. A
nropos of Mr. Norland’s statement, a few remarks from the Ju
neau Empire, which may be considered a good authority on such
I subjects, may be of interest. “Instead of 'money to burn,’ as ha
j been so gleefully anticipated,” says the Juneau newspaper, “th;
incoming legislature may hove to exercise the strictest economy ii
appropriating the funds of the territory. If there be any ‘pork
hunters’ among the personnel of the next legislature, they shoul
j be warned in time. The 'pork barrel’ mty be quite empty.”
The following are the essential features in the proposals fm
neace submitted by Germany and her allies to the entente allies
Restoration of the status quo before the war; evacuation of B 1
gium and France,■ but not Lorraine nor Alsace; provisions for
future neutrality of Belgium and probable defortification, particu
Iarlv of Antwerp; new conditions amounting to economic opera
tion of mineral land and control of northern France to be a.-ked;
all of Germany's lost colonies, with the probable exception of Kiao
chau, in China, to be returned; Turkish possession of Constant'!
I noplc and the restoration of Albania; independent kingdoms for
j Poland and Lithuania, but that portion of Poland possessed b;
| Germany before the war not to be included. What adjust men*
i would be made covering Trentino between Austria and Italy, oi
any provision affecting Egypt, the Suez canal, Mesopotamia or
the gateway of. the canal to the Indian empire is not made c ear.
The Balkan situation is so delicate that it would have to be un
I tangled in a peace conference.
Coal stoves are on display in Fairbanks, and merchants ar:
said to be ordering them in quantities, in anticipation of Nenana
coal being on the market in the near future.

The question of the right of Alaska natives to vote is one
which is bound to be the subject of much discussion in the im
mediate future. The following interesting comment is from the
Unalakleet correspondent of the Nome Industrial Worker: “1 see
that much ado is made as to the native voting. What are they
going to do about it? Citizenship is one right over which the
United States exercses exclusive jurisdiction, end it is not up to
any state or territory to say what shall constitute a citizen of the
United States. A state may pass a law regulating the voting of a
citizen, but not a law as to what constitutes a citizen, so the law
passed in 1915 by the Juneau Solons (Chapter 24 and Section 22
of Chapter 25 in relation to Eskimo natives is null and void. But
if there is any kick, why not have the matter settled by a compe
tent court? The judges of the Unalakleet election invited the rep
resentative of the bureau of education to challenge the E-kitno
voters, with a view to making a test case, and he, after readin
i the laws upon the question, could not see where he had a cha
! longe coming. The bureau of education is to be congratula*.
j upon having at least one gentleman of imeliigence in it- empl >y.'
Many Americans who could not follow the teachings of the
late Professor Muensterberg will nevertheless pay tribute to h:
broad-mindedness, an illustration of which took place a few week
before his derth. Funeral services for the late J.o-ia’n Royce. pro
fessor of natural religion, moral philosophy and civil polity at Hsr
vard, were held in Appleton chapel at Cambridge on September
10. There were many floral remembrances, one of which war ;
wreath from Professor Muensterberg, marked "in Grateful Mem
ory.” Before the war Professors Royce and Muensterberg wort
close friends. Royce was strongly pro-ally, while Muensterberg
was intensely pro-Teuton. On the day of the funeral Professor
Muensterberg said: "I lost in Royce rny dearest friend, but I be
lieve it my duty not to attend the funeral because it might a' pear
tactless or embarrass someone. No political differences could have
the slightest influence on my deep gratitude for the great frierr
whom I have often declared in my writings to be one of the three
greatest philosophers of our time.”
A bill for statehood for Hawaii and another for equal suffrage
for the territory were in the suit case of Prince J. Kuhio Kalanian
aole, delegate to congress from that territory, when he arrived at
the capital recently. Probably there is about as much chance of
Hawaii being admitted to the Union as a sovereign state as there
is of Alaska being similarly honored—which is very slight.

The brllots had all been counted, and the
dry states were holding a reception to wel
come the addition to their society. Prim
Miss Maine headed the receiving line, which
included a brilliant representation of Soutl
ern aristocracy, such fine old families as the
Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia, Virginias and
Tennessee, as well as a generous sprinkling
of Western and Middle Western names
states lacking in the time-hallaxved tradi
tions, but welcome to the cause, neverthe
less.
Looking somewhat self-conscious in their
newly-acquired virtue, prosperous Michigan,
rangy Montana, the cattleman, and the ivn !
known wheat ranchers, Messrs. South Da
kota end Nebraska, were passing down the
line shaking hands and expressing pleasure
in their redeemed state.
Of course this was a reception somewhat
different from the rather exclusive affair.
cf former years. There was probably a fed
ing among the elder states that “society
isn't what it used to be, with til these
strange nexvly rich persons from the West
being recognized,” but it was a very sue
cessful and happy occasion.
I Then, at a late hour, the door opened to
admit a stranger. A .sudden hush came over
the room. There was an uneasy constraint
at the intrude n.
“Dear me, sister,” gasped handsome Miss
South Can lina, to her sisier, Miss North
“who is that person?”
“I’m sure it must be some mistake,”
chimed in sweet Miss Virginia; “it can’t be
any of our people.”
So the stranger stood hesitatingly by th
door a moment, obviously embarrassed in
he company of so many beautiful ladies
and prosperous gentlemen.
He was a handsome young stranger, f i

“Why, you doegoned old salmon eater,”

1 ive action stories, and ’most all of us do

—as A aska.
And after we all had been carefully ed
cated to believe in that, Alaska pins on
a white ribbon, takes the pledge and re
tocks ail the Tivclis and Nuggets and
Klondike bars with grape juice and choc - -
I te ice cream sodas.
We know that this will be a shock to
many believers in the Wild West. It must
have been a shock to them when the fam
■ us Barbary Coast of San Francisco re
formed, and when Seattle converted the old
mints on Washington and King streets
where Skookum Jim and Swiftwater and
many another new-made mil ionaire gloried
and drank deep, into pool parlors and soft
drink saloons.
But some thoughtful observers who have
aid a little attention to Alaska saw the
change coming years ago Even before
they held a world's fair at Seattle, in 1909.
fo celebrate the discovery of g-ld rn the
Klondike ten years before, the frontier days
f Alaska were coming to an end. Bi
business had discovered Alaska. Railroads
were being built, and more have fol owed.
Huge geld dredges began to work the Nome •
ands. Vast fortunes in copper were dis
covered, but copper is not mined with a
Juice box that a man can knock together
n the spot, and the development of these
new riches brought armies of laboring men
and costly machinery. Powerful companies
took over the great fisheries.
Towns and cities grew up and organ
ized chambers of commerce, and the Tan •
ana valley got - into friendly rivalry with
the Southeastern section over the size of I
the rutabagas and cabbages that could be f:
produced from the fields.- Why, federal
schorl teachers say. even out on. the bnely
Diomedes and on the snowy deserts above I
the Arete circle, the traveler will find the
simple Eskimos and Indians cranking up
their Yictrolas on a winter’s night.
In Juneau, Skagway, Whitehorse, Fair
banks, Circle or Nome they are reading the
same world new’s today that we read in
Kansas City.
Yep, some years ago Alaska shed his
mackinaw and mukluks for a business sack
ccat and the latest model shoes. In place
of the chamois poke, out of which he used
to shake gold dust, he bought a dime sav
ings bank. He will no longer greet you in
that quaint dialect beloved of the Rex
Beach-Jack London school, but he’s very
apt to bore you to death with statistics on
temperature and rainfall, and the possi
bi ities of four crops of alfalfa off Tanana
valley land. His pockets are fdled with
booster literature instead of nuggets. |
But still we couldn’t quite believe the
Id days —the red days, the roaring days—
were gone until we saw that white ribbon
pinned to his lapel.
And just a few years ago we believed
with the poet:
There's never a law or God or man
Runs north or 53.
Funny, isn't it?—Kansas City Star.
ODE TO PEACE
(William Tennant)
Daughter of God! that sttt’st on high
Amiri the dances of the sky,
And guidest with thy gentle sway
The planets on their tuneful way;
Sweet Peace! shall ne'er again
The smile of thy most holy face,
From thine ethereal dwelling-place.
Rejoice the weary, wretched race
Of discord-breathing men?
Too long, O gladness-loving Queen!
Thy tarrying in heaven has been;
Too long o’er this fair blooming world
Th Hag of blood has been unfurled,
Polluting God's pure day;
Whilst, as each maddening people reels.
War onward drives his scythed wheels.
And at his horses' bloody heels
Shriek Murder and Dismay.
oft have 1 wept to hear the cry
Of widow wailing bitterly;
To see the parent’s silent tear
For children rallen 'peath the spear;
And I have fell so sore
The sense of human guilt and woe,
That 1, in Virtue's passioned glow.
Have cursed tmy soul was wounded so)
The shape or man 1 bore!
Then come from thy serene abode.
Thou gladness-giving child or God!
And cease the world's ensanguined strife.
And .... my soul to life;
For much 1 long to see.
Ere l shall to the grave descend,
Tliy hand its blessed branch extend.
And to the world’s remotest end
Wave Love and Harmony!
RESIDENT OF McGRATH
BOOSTS THE KUSKOKWIM!
T! o Kuskokwim valley, in Alaska, with
a area the size of th“ state of Oregon, has
but 300 prospectors in it. thereby laying
claim to being the, most sparsely-settled
i river valley in all of the Northern terri
t' ry. according to Joe Britton of McGrath
a mining man, who is in the city for a i
few days, -ays the Seattle Post-Intelligencer j
of December 9. Mr. Britton came Outside j
' a few days ago for the winter.
"The Kuskokwim valley has great wealth
' in mineral-." said Mr. Britton, "but be
■ause the sections are so remote and diffi
cu t of access, development has been
reatlv retarded. Dog teams are used ex
lusively for bat ing freight from the down
:iver supply points to the headwaters. We
have cinnabar, tungsten, gold, lead and
ther mineral-, but only the gold has been
1- ited so far.
"A new dredge will be installed on Can
le creek, in the Kuskokwim, next year,
art of the machinery has been delivered
n the ground, but the rest is not expected
util after navigation opens next year. Op
: ns on ground on Gane creek have been
•liken by Henry Riley and the Union Con
ruction Company of San Francisco. The
i’o stci mining district, discovered last year,
; - turning out well, according to reports
that we had when we came out.”
Mr. Britton mushed into the Kusko
kwim country from Iditarod, after coming
, v.n the Yukon from Dawson, where he
had been mining for many years. On a
OO-miie jaunt he met but one person who
I ved along the trail. It is the intention
f the Alaska mining man to go South for
the winter, returning in time to take pne
f the first steamers for the North in the i
ring. _^_
