and has good deal of respe t for
them. he is the official not to make the
laws. but merely to execute them. The

what better policy can there be than
lies in a determ nat on to be the tsNecu-

OF an opposite nature succeeded moth
ng so much as Keeping the people agi-
tated and making trouble. jackson was
a bad resident for that reason, ard so
was johnson. Lincoln had to exercise
more force than the others but he did
it judiciously, and it was his policy not
to go ahead of the people, but to keep
abreast of them. A President who
thinks he is right and everybody else
wrong. and who is angry because Con-
gress will not adopt his views rather
than its own. is an intolerable nuisance
and is pretty certain to retire to rivate
life without the slightest prospect of
