A Weak And False Argument.
Leslie's Weokly a Now York
publication essays to help pull
tho prosidontbut of the holo into
whioh he fell by issuing his un-
lawful servioo pension order but
the attempt is a wocflc one besides
being absolutely Untrue The
Weokly says:
"President Roosevelt scores
again. Brushing aside all minor
considerations we find that the
much-disoussed service pension
order which recently received
executive approval will increase
tho annual pension disburse-
ments as estimated a little over
85000000 a year hile the gen-
eral Bervice bill which was being
rapidly pushed for passage
through congress would have
added five or six times that
amount to tho expense of the
government. Because the pres-
ident had been told by Speaker
Cannon and other republican
leaders of the house that a
sweeping general service pension
bill was about to pass he
promptly issued his executive
order entitling Union voterans at
the age of 62 or over to special
consideration."
This defense does not oven
pretend that the president had
any shadow of authority in law
to issue such an order. It does
not deny that he usurped author-
ity that only the Tzar of Russia
or the Sultan of Turkey of- all
old-world monarohs would have
dared attempt but proceeds to
lay the audaoious claim that he
did it to save the nation money
by preventing congress from
passing a bill which would cost
thirty millions a year instead of
five millions!
What has the president to say
of his apologists?
The truth is exactly the reverse
of what Leslie's Weekly claims.
A bill granting service pensions
was under consideration in con-
gress and when it became evi
dent that it would not be passed
its friends withdrew it and Roos-
evelt made or rather endorsed
the order granting pensions to all
over sixty-two years of age. No
such usurpation of authority waB
ever attempted by a formor pres-
ident and yet .for political rea-
sons congress refused to call
him down.
The very apology or explana-
tion here offered admits that
Roosevelt's order usurped the
authority of congress.
Just as-well admit the truth
the order was made to catch the
G. A. R. vote. "What have we
come to that the president dares
such a thing?
He may next order congress to
adjourn sine die. He has prao-
tioallv set at naught the senate
by appointing an officer for the
fifth time it has refused to con-
firm. i

Delegates to tho gonoral con-
ference of the Nbrth Methodist
ohuroh havo motr in Los
Angeles tho conference opening
on Wednesday.
This body of religionists ex-
ert a groat deal of influence upon
political matters and docs not
hesitate in oponingly espousing
men and measures in that field.
1Mb a well attested truth of
history that this body did more
to bring about the emancipation
artd suffrage of the slaves
than any other one influence at
at that time.
It has nover quit politics nor
does it propose to. Among the
important questions to be con-
sidered at Los Angules are the
following:
1. Whataotion can theohurch
take to solve tho race question?
2. What can be done by the
church for the good name of the
oountry to prevent the. crime
of lynching?
The impertinence of tho first
question is. understood by tho
general public when it is remem-
bered that this church 'has a
smaller membership where the
raoe question is really of interest
than any denomination in Amer-
ica. But the North Methodist
church has always known more
in its own estimation about the
Negro than the churches that are
strongest in the Negro's neigh-
borhood. In fact there is no political
question in whioh the North
Methodist church is not infallible
in the mind of the North Metho-
dise church.
As to the second question the
church might do much to sup
press tho crime of lynohing.if it
would sendvraisssionaries to the
Negro North and South to teach
him to quit assaulting white
women. But this method does
not appeal to the North Methodist
church nor to other northern
quaok doctors who try all the
time tp cure a disease by treating
the effect rather than the cause.
The only thing to surprise one
is that the question of the South's
representation was not put down
as one for disoussion. However
the influence of this great body
may be counted upon by tho
Hepburne crowd when the elec-
tion of Roosevelt has made it
safe to bring it up in congress.
