PRESIDENT'S RIGHT TO

DISCHARGE

Important Ruling by U. S, Supreme Court Washington, Oct, 26, The United States Supreme Court has settled an historic point upholding the President's right to remove, without consul the Senate, executive officers whom he appoints with the advice and eon sent of the Senate, The ruling was made to-day on the appeal of @ former postmaster of Oregon whom the late President Wilson had removed from office.

Three out of the nine members of the Court strongly dissented against the ruling, apparently on the ground that the decision might upset the principle of checks and balances on which the United States Government is founded.—Reuter.
