SOME BOX riME VHE VD
Indication* are that the republican side of
the United States senate, the members of which
constitute the am -
is preparing some hot time tor the President.
It looks as thouch the Republicans had their
hacks up and will refuse to acquiesce in the
administration's plans.
From a party point of '• tew. we can hardly
blame them, for the Presiden has had it
all his own way. and his ways were deueedly
disagreable at times u .he r *:tion: but as
objections were useless, the Republicans re
mained passive to the ma. mity's notions.
Affairs of the nations will be ran differently
with the Republicans in power, and they are
likely to make the administration dance to ano
ther tune now, which is possibly the reason why
an extra session was r. cubed. Anyhow, the
President can w ;rk better alone. He is a stood
man and all that: but the trouble ;s: he wants
to be the whole “push" ?Q the time. Mutton
heads follow readily. 1” run with minds of
their own and s me in* ellLence. net. They,
sometimes want to let ' and that s impossible
with President TV Lis n. E- ■ :-m:> the Repu
blicans are conscious of their power and they
are troinc ta use it They may train by their
tactics and a rain they may kill the Republican
party. Time alone will tell. However, we may
expect to w-Rness some hot time within the next
two years or more.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE ABOUT DUE
Several years back Chicago held a hanging
bee: rid the city of the worst anarchists and
scared the ethers stiff, so to speak. So much
so that they behaved :-a.-.e - ' for years. Of
late reports isc irate that they nave been get
ting bolder until a lev. Ay- ;o they were dis
covered in a dastardly r Hence the tdeu that
v.e msv soon witness an ther ea ample of worn
oat patience -■■hen :r a ; ■ . For impulse
is some guide. Not k n jury .r. one of
the southern state i -nd a negro guilty of
murder but in the -erdict it was spedSed th“t
he should not suffer esprri punishment: but
promptly a rr. -h lync' -:d * m. They—the mob.
acted on their knpU der '.rdin ustice. This
is s clear example 1 'he. conflict between the
sentiment ‘ -he rr- :-r r are :egaily responsi
ble and these of a mob v. ho act v. shout sense of
responsibility. The law is absolutely against
mob rule; nevertheless, some day, guided by
that irresistible impulse to be rid of I. W. W and
and their likes, the Chicago citizens and maybe
citizens of other towns may demonstrate once
more that patience has its limits and another
hanging bee wiU be the result, law or no law.
Impulse is sure some guide.
MR, FACING-TWO-WAYS BAKER
The conseqence of having a pacifist secretary
of war was thrown into startling relief when a |
secret order of Mr. Baker was read to the mili
tary committee of the senate. By this order
conscientious objectors in the army were to be
segregated and "handled with tact and consi-'
deration.” . . . "not to be treated as violating j
military laws,”
This order was in direct violation of law and
was an arbitrary exercise of official power. The
draft law grants exemption to real conscienti
eus nhlectors: members of religious denomina
tions existing before the law was passed, a tenet
of whose faith forbids taking part in war. The
Baker order applies to men who are not entitled
to exemption, who refused to fight on the pre
tense that they have conscientious objections,
but whose real reason is disloyalty, cowardice
or just plain unwillingness to do anything for
their country. But such men who were fit sub
jects for a courtmartial, were handled “with
"tact and consideration.” It is not too much to
say that an official who assumes authority not
granted by law invites impeachment.
But that was not alL Several hundred men of
this stripe were, by order of Mr. Baker, given
honorable discharges from the army, civilian
clothes and full pay for time they had spent in
a prison camp and were sent joyously on their
way. The way of the slacker who comouflages |
as a conscientious objector is not hard under
Mr. Bakers tender care. That is how it differs
fi m the way nf the ordinary transgressor.
The record of courts-martial daring the war.
also under Mr. Bakers direction, shows that
when the man who is willing to fight commits
only a slight offense, his way is not merely hard
Hut covered with sharp pointed rocks. Brigad
ier-General T. AnseH. the acting judge advocate
General told the senate committee that “the
sentences imposed for slisrht offenses have shoe
ked every sense of justice” and “bear no reason
able relationship to the offense committed.” He
say> the army "has been cursed with red tape
in its court-martial proceedings,” and that “we
need more humanity in our judgment of the
men's offenses.”and he calls the system cruel.
General Ansell has been reviewing harsh sen
tences under an old law. though Mr. Baker says *
there is r.o authority for his doing so. That
attitude of the pacifist secretary brines into con
trast his cautious abstinence from exercising
unauthorised power in behalf of the fightine
tidier who is cruelly and excessively punished
for a slight offense and his eager readiness to
violate the plain provision of the law on behalf
of the camoufiaged slacker.-Oregonian.
