He reminds the Senate that it con

by Attorney-General Mitchell in the
opinion that he is under no compul

right. If he were under any com

a serious encroachment upon the
powers of the executive. The rules
of the Senate itself stipulate that it

Inasmuch as the Senate adjourned
immediately after confirming Smith
Garsaud and Draper and was not in
executive session again until after
the holidays, when Senator Walsh im
mediately made his motion for recon
sideration, the Senate's action is
in strict accord with its own rules.
It is an instance in which the pre
rogatives of the President obviously
take precedence over Senate rules.
The Senate, of course, knew this.
It was merely expressing its indig
nation over the haste with which
these three men. who constitute a
majority of the Power Commission,
met and discharged the solicitor.

ures designed to create employment
and to relieve distress in times of de
pression. They do not pretend to
prevent depression, but merely to
make it less acute. They are obvious
ly desirable in principle and ought
to be adopted. But they must not
be confused with the much more dif
ficult matter of minimizing the vio
lence of the business cycle. There
the role of statesmanship is much
less clearly understood.
It is for this difficult task that
the Democratic Party will be called
upon to supply leadership as 1932
approaches. The time is at hand
when by candid discussion a begin
ning should be made toward clari
fying the purposes of the party. The
prevailing economic depression as the
culmination of a decade in which
throughout the world nations, our
own well up in front, have sought to
attain prosperity by the method of
tariffs, subsidies, price controls, in
flation, and national isolation. The
supreme question for the Democratic
Party to determine is whether it in
tends to take the leadership in an
opposite direction or to go on in the
direction we have been traveling for
10 years.
The pressure to go on, rather than
to change direction, will be very
great. The party will be sorely
tempted to try to win the West by
adopting some plan or other to raise
farm prices by governmental action;

CAPONE'S SCAR
A bit of Action has been going the
rounds of the press for several years
to the effect that Scarface Al Ca-

his forehead while fighting for his
country in Europe.
It didn't happen that wav. Ca-
pone was never in the American
army. Investigation shows he regis
tered for the draft in Brooklyn, and
was called to the colors shortly be
fore the armistice was signed, but
never donned uniform. His scar was
probably acquired in a bar room

The Senate had confirmed the ap
pointments with grave misgivings.
To have those misgivings apparent
ly confirmed with such suddenness
naturally enraged it. This accounts
for the haste with which it acted, as
it explains the untenableness of the
position it took. Other Senates have

by overt acts such as that taken
against Johnson have they been any
more successful.
The incident serves to illustrate
the dramatic rise of the power issue
in national politics and its threat to
Republican solidarity in 1932. Mr.
Hoover resents what he terms an im
putation by the Senate that he is on
the side of the power interests, but
wnere is he. The Senate is trying
to smoke him out. If the Muscle
Shoals bill passes, will he veto Gov
ernment operation as Mr. Coolidge
did? A great deal depends upon that.
The Senate is giving Mr. Hoover an
opportunity to consider what the po
litical consequences might be. As to
the members of the Federal Power
Commission, they can easily show
whether they are on the side of the
interests of the people. If they are on
the wrong side, the President should
depose them. It is neither possible
nor proper to get rid of them in the
way proposed by the Senate. Neith
er is it thinkable that the Senate
will, as Senator Wheeler proposes,
revenge itself upon the Power Com
mission by refusing appropriations
for it. Revenge is beneath the dig
nity of the Senate. St. Louis Post-

port in the Eats and in the new in
dustrial South by a policy of high
protection; it will be beset by the
fears of those who are terrified at the
idea of international co-operation.
It is possible that the party can win
in 1932 by such policies as these. The
unpopularity and demoralization of)
the Republicans may insure a vic
tory. But it will be a victory by de
fault, and. in our judgment, it would
have no significance and no perman
ence. The Democrats would remain
the minority, raised to power not
for their own merits but because the
country is for the moment tired of
the Republicans.
The other course requires more
courage and wisdom. It would in
volve the application and extension
to modern conditions of the historic
Democratic principle of seeking to
free trade from governmental re
striction and manipulation and to
substitute voluntary co-operation for
political control. The pursuit of this
principle would call for the steady.
deliberate revision of the tariff
downward, the abandonment of gov
ernmental price-fixing scheme, the
discouraging of artificially maintain
ed price controls, the encourage of
voluntary consolidations and co-op
erative undertakings, the emanci
pation of the world from the burden
of political tribute, and a mature
acceptance of the fact that America
is a world power and has a vital in
terest in the maintenance of peace.
There will be great opposition
within the party to such a course.
But, in our judgment, if the Demo
cratic Party takes this course, sum
moning to its standard the men who
sympathize with a new national eco
nomic policy, it can win not merely
in 1932 but it may alter the politi
cal alignment of the American Na
tion. The Republican Party, as ad
ministered by Messrs. Hoover, Fess.
Watson, and their kind, has ceased
to represent the interests of the
masses of the people and the Judg
ment of enlightened men. It can be
displaced as the dominant party if
the Democrats have the sense and
the nerve to take the leadership in a
role which, as it happens, conforms
to their traditions. From the New
