So long aa the in farmer is forced to pay tariff on American-made just so long is he entitled to a bounty, or subsidy, to equalise matters. Isn’t that ,, “Spectator”? Only the other night.

(Comments.. On Men and News By Spectator. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. THE FARMERS’ PROBLEM. When this nation was establish- ed with a Constitution our fathers set it up with three coordinate de partments, each department to be more or less complete and in dependent. But the socalled checks and balances were provided. For example, the lawmaking body may make any law, but the President may veto it or the Court may de clare it null if it be contrary to the Constitution. The Court may de clare the law on cases arising in practice and coming before the court; but the power of the Court may be curbed by amendment to fhe Const fluty - on. The Preside) it has supreme executive functions but he may be limited by statute, except that he must be the com- mander-in-chief of the Army and Navy unless the Conatitution should be amended. In our form of govrnment Con gress must enact the laws. The iPresf^ent may recommend, but it is no part of his function to brow-beat Congress or make it rubber stamp. Nor ia the President expected to control all the processes of government, in cluding the Courts. President Roosevelt believes that he has a program that is for the good of the nation; he believes so supremely that he loees patience with any and all op position. He is right, he thinks, *nd so right that all opposition. • hether in Congress or Coart, I find myself embaimseed, for seta ire the President; I regard him as awe of the most iqfrsahiag snd engaging figures ia all the history of this Nation. I do not tmy k lightly Calmly, quietly I hove meditated on the txg figures of our history —Franklin Roose velt will stand out. He has courage, genius, boldness, complete assurance—qualities which make it leader; but he has tka de eds of those very great qualities, le is as sure of himself aa Ns- was. but he must not throw aside every consideration except his own will and purpose, however t aaO noble they may he. If of us ere slow-wit tod. evea stupid, our government must not be so transcendently intellectual that we cannot koep pace with it. With all the great admiration I feel for our President I am miad- ’ul of an obligation as a citisen to protoct in principle the govern ment bequeathed by our father*. Details may change, but a nation of one man, one will, is a dictator- sip, however gracious and bene volent that man may be. separate la order to co-operate with one another the thirteen States formed (Continued on Pago Eight.)

ANNA ROUNTREE, BEN A. ROUNTREE. NOTTICE OF DISCHARGE. President Roosevelt believes in the attack an the best defense. He attacks all those who disagrees with him and he calls them names. Look at the list: Plutocrats of Privilege, Princes of Privilege, Economic Royalists—and all that. In the good old days in South Carolina our politicians used to do that. Some of our most bitter fighters would say just anything and challenge the enemy to dis prove it The odd thing is that the President was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, end still uses that spoon. He was educated in the most exclusive and expensive schools and universities and sends his children to them, too. Some of these men he attacks as “Economic Royalists” have worked their way up from poverty. The Presidtent attacks the others so vigorously that they spend the'ir energy in defending themselves. , Just think what he would say if John Lewis and his C. I. 0. had given five hundred thousand dol lars to oppose him! But they gave it to elect him, and that was the poorest bargain ever made so far as this nstion is concerned. They celebrated Constitution Day recently. What is the Con st! tut on ?
