He has ear to the ground there all the e, and little if anything ever gets pim.

Our soldiers and sailors, aged and infirm, their widows, orphans and de- pendents, are well taken care of by the new pension and Colonel John McElroy will not lift a hand to smite the man that made this possible. There are better things promised, too, in the way of removing nicalities that have always against the interests of women and children left destitute by the death of husbands and fathers. There was a time when it impossible for a widow of a Spanish War soldier or sailor to obtain a pension at the Pen- died of disease or disabilities contracted in the service. President Wilson has now made it possible for such a widow to collect twelve dollars a month pen- law, some tech- worked was sion Bureau unless her husband sion regardless of the cause of her husband’s death,—which is absolutely just. This nation is big and rich enough to take proper care of those who were wounded upon the field of battle while defending the flag, and also of those who might be left be- hind, dependents. THE PRESIDENCY. Charles Evans Hughes when he admitted that his conception of the Presidency differed from that of Woodrow Wilson’s seems to have opened up a great avenue of debate if not criticism. “I look upon the President as the administrative head of thé government,” says Mr. Hughes who then says that Wilson “looks up- on the President as primarily the political leader and law-maker of the nation.” A close study of this opinion ren- dered by the former Justice will dis- close that Mr. Wilson in looking upon the President as “primarily the politi- cal leader and law-maker of the na- tion” is nearer to the right than Mr. Hughes who considers the Chief Ex- ecutive solely as ‘‘the administrative head of the government.” In section three of article IL of the Constitution which defilnes the duties of the Presi- dent it stipulates that “he shall from time to time give to the Congress In- formatign of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Considera- tion such Measurers as he shall judge necessary and expedient; * * *” From the implied powers there it can be seen that the President is not ex- pected to confine himself to the execu- tive branch of the government alone. If he did his Congress would run wild. The President is the political head of his party and he has the right to see that his party, through its majority vote in Congress, does at least some of the things his administration sets out to accomplish. It is conceivable that Mr. Hughes, if elected, will have to live up to his definition of the Presidency and its powers. This because either of two fates would await him. First, he might be oconfronted with a Demo- 1 oratic Congress or at least a Secnate controlled by Democrats, and then he would be powerless in exerting political leadership over Congress. On the other hand, it is conceivable that the Old Guard of the Republi- can party might be in power and Mr. Hughes would be as powerless before that body as he would in front antagonistic Democrats. If Crane, Penrose, Smoot & Co., get control of the Senate the Presidency will con- form strictly to the deflinition given by Mr. Hughes. BUSINESS PICKING UP. American business men are not as worried over what will happen after the war as their political friends try to make out. If they are, why is it they have set about building new fac- tories and industrial concerns of other nature to the enormous of $4650,000,000? in view of the fact that investigation proves the figures true. Plans specifications are already expense and for greater and bigger business buildings throughout the land. quired to make passible the work is close to half a billion dollars. Does drawn The sum re- it look as if there will be any let-up in work here after the war?

YOU NEVER CAN TELL. Somebody called up The Republican office yesterday and asked who was the “republican candidate for lieuten- ant-governor this year. Mayor Clif- ford B, Wilson of Bridgeport has that honor and he is making a vigorous campaign so that it i he should be lost sight of in this manner Perhaps, however, the rea- son is that in Waterbury there is con- siderable local pride over the fact that Francis P. Guilfoile is the democratic nominee for the same office. It is so seldom in the past that a resident of Waterbury has been named for high state office that Mr. Guilfoile will undoubtedly cut considerably into the local republican vote and as are few better or abler men that Mr. Guilfolle, and as furthermore, the lo- cal testimonial to his merits prob- ably will not affect the general state result, what harm is there in ‘Waterbury Republican.

Since the establishment of the wire- 1ass censorships the banks have will- ingly given the government copies of their codes, but they had not been required to supply the “Key"” to the signature, which is the sole test of the authenticity of the measures. If that cipher became known, bankers said, messages could be sent to any part of the world instructing the re- ciplent to pay out money and there would be no way of preventing the fraud. When this was explained to the navy department officials, they declded to accept the suggestion that the banks instead of filing the test words should merely give the wire- less censors affidavits to the effect that the messages they sent contained ro objectionable matter. The banks also agreed to preface the test word or figures with the notation “test.” — RID STOMACH OF ACIDS, SOURNESS, GAS, INDIGESTION Diapepsin“ .makes upset stomachs feel fine at once. “Pape’s Acidity, heartburn, belching, pain and ayspepsia fust vanish.
