Recently an article eam» to we from the pen of a childhood schoolmate whe has deen
working very, Very many s te aseimilate the truth about conditions in Anerioa.
The article” ie entitled Passing ef a Republic". fhe prineiples of a free
eonstitution are irrevocably lest when the legislative power is taken by the execu-
tive. Are we returning to the days of the Ramn Bepire? Lincoln said: fhe pre-
visions ef the Anerican Constitution giving the war mking powers to Congress se
