COURTESY VS. POLITICS.
The I leunicrats and Progres
sives in Ihe I'niled Slates Senate
have prevented I lie Republicans
from carrying out their plans of
continuing an executive session lo
the defeat of pending legislation,
unless the Democrats agree to (lie
confirmation <>f several thousand
“recess” appointments made l>y
President Taft. The decision is
a blow to "senatorial courtesy”
which has long served as a cloak
for much political manipulation.
The Constitution gives the
president the right lo appoint to
office “by and with Ihe advice of
the Senate.” The Senate has de
vised a scheme by which Ihe two
senators from the state of the ap
pointee. may checkmate the pres-'
ident. For senatorial courtesy is
this, that whenever a nomination
sent in by the president is dis
tasteful to both senators from the
.state from which the nominee
hails, other senators, out of cour
tesy, are to oppose it. Under this
practice the appointive power is
limited not by the advice and con
sent of the Senate, but by that of
any two senators from one state.
The new administration might
well take up this matter, for it is
clearly in conflict with the spirit
of the constitution, and it plays
into the hands of the "politicians’
trust.” If senatorial courtesy !
can be made to give way to con
stitutional courtesy, the incoming
administration will do the coun
try a distinct service.

“Uncle” Joe Cannon should not

A revolution throughout the

If the New York grand jury is

The light snowfall of yester

rare in this section of constant

It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of ils unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and'atl who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity or Valdez should patroniz home products.
