THE GTDFN APPEAL.

The unanimous finding of the Court Of Ap-
meals disposes of the Guden case in accordance
with good sense and sound political science. In
sustaining to its full extent the Governor 6
power OF removal the court gives effect to the
simple and obvious meaning Of the words OF
the constitution. That instrument conferred the
power Of removal for cause in the broadest pos
sible terms. The people knew what the IAN
cuage meant; IL needed no lawyers 10 supply
CLOSES 20 IL and read into il an esoteric sig
nificance under which notoriously unit man
could be kept in office on the ground that his
disgraceful offences did not constitute cause
for removal. Nor was there any call for
theorists filled with the notion that authority
and tyranny were Synonymous, to assim1late
the constitution to their understanding or their
prejudice by process Of refined construction
1t is gratifying TO find the Court of Appeals
resisting all appeals 10 decide what the limits
of executive power ought TO he, and firmly TAX
ing the ground that the power actually con-
ferred on the executive will not on any pretext
be usurped by the judiciary.
This is a much needed lesson. Serious minded
snd intelligent men cried out against the Guden
removal as a piece Of tyranny They declared
that construction of the constitution which
did not narrowly limit the nature Of an offence
warranting removal and the time Of its COM
initial would open the door TO despotism. What
they were really objectinG TO the posses
sion by the Governor Of anything like final
authority They wanted to open the door to
appeals from the Governor to the courts every
time a removal was made on the ground that
the cause alleged was not proper one. In
form indeed they conceded that within his
sphere he was the judge Of last resort but they
would have so narrowed that sphere that the
power Of removal could hardly ever be exer-
cised without inviting long train OF litigation
in an endeavor to show that the Governor went
outside his Jurisdiction. Thus the government
machinery might be brought 10 a standstil as
is shown by the confusion which Guden's re-
sistance to removal caused. To the argument
against the absolute authority Of the Governor
within his sphere Chief Judge Parker says:
executive power, and in this State il has been
vested in the Governor by the people. The sug-
eestion that if the courts do not interfere, some
chief executive may proceed in disregard Of these
principles which courts of Impeachment have
established should not be given weight, for the
ability 10 act quickly in the removal OF admin
.straIive officers and clerks is as important in
the conduct of government in the manage
rrert of a gigantic corporation or large inGi-
vidual enterprise.
That is sound doctrine The notion that an
official should never have final power because
he may abuse IL would IL accepted make gov
ernment absolutely innpotent. Our constitution
provides for coordinate and independent execu-
tendency is constant TO rob one department OF

"SY4GGERTyG HUMANITY" :"

Now that peace has been established in South
Africa it is possible to figure up the total British
losses during the war and see how Haul Kruger
fulfilled his threat to make them such as Would
"stagger humanity" We refer now especially
TO the losses of men, those Of money having
already been SET forth with sufficient fulness
From the beginning of the war. on october IL
1899 to its ending, on May 81. 1907 the total
loss TO the British army was 1.0s0 officers and
21:SJ4 men-in all, 2S.434. These figures In
clude not only those who We're killed in battle
and those who died OF wounds or disease IN
hospitals but also all who were sent home as
invalids and have left the service as unfit. The
figures Is 434 therefore represent the total loss
TO the British army That is somewhat less
than 10 per cent of the whole not a heavy ratio
for such war, certainly not heavy enough 10
cause humanity much staggering.
Other losses are less grave There were those
who confidently predicted that Great Britain
would lose the whole of South Africa through
insurrection Of the Cape Dutch. We can see
now no menace of such a catastrophe. The
particularly cordial manner in which the Beers
have Incorporated themselves into the empire
is most auspicious. They are exhOrting each
other 10 show how good and loyal British sub
iects they can be- and are showing resentment
only toward those who melted and falsely en-
couraged them to prolonged resistance. In the
face of such a spirit the Afrikanders of the
Cane can have no excuse for keeping up the
fight or for cherishng any animosity toward the
British Government. To do would he to he
more Boerish than the Beers. in which case we
should not he bit surprised TO see De Wet and
Botha and their comrades volunteer to como
down and help stamp out the rebellion at the
Cape!
Opinions may vary as to loss or gain or
British prestige. The British may be well con-
tent however, TO accept on that score the best
EXPERT testimony Of the Continent. Eminent
German army officers during the war declared
again and again that troops in the world
could do better, in the circumstances than the
British were doing. Similar expressions now
abound among the military authorities of many
lands Thus the Austrian Field Marshal RatZen-
hoefer declares that, while usually the duration
of war diminshes the efficiency of army, the
British army grew better and better, which is
the bes> that can be said Of an army" And he
adds that sit must be admitted that the
has raised England's military prestige" and
upon It's achievements" In view of such
suits, with the Beers singing God Save the
Kng"' and with n practical realization of the
dream Of lone land from Lions Head to Line"
we can scarcely regard the staggering human
ity" threat as having been fulfilled.

CONGRATULATIONS
Columbia Theater.

For next week the management Of the
Columbia Theater announces Harry Corson
Clarke and his company in Bronson How
ards Young Mrs. Winthrop" The sweet
ness and simplicity OF the story, and the
admirable dramatic form in which Mr..
Howard has presented it. have made it one
of that distinguished playwrights most
successful and popular works The action
of the play is carried forward without loss
of time or interest by the logical develop
ment of the theme. A GOODNESS has arisen
between Douglas and Constance winthrop,
two young married people very much in
love with each other, but who have drifted
apart owing to the husbands absorption in
business affairs and the wifes devotion to
society. The death of their little daughter
only serves to precipitate the crisis, which
threatens from the very beginning of the
play. In fact, temporary separation be-
tween the unhappy couple does occur, and
1t is only through the loving, diplomatic in
huence of their old friend and family law
yer, Buxton Scott, that the disaster of
permanent divorce is averted Having
learned from long life of rich experiences
that strategy will win sometimes where
doctrines and advice will lose, this keen.
WldeaWake. sympathetic old bachelor of
the law brings about a meeting between the
contending parties, ostensibly for the pur-
pose of settling the necessary legal formali-
ties. but which he manipulates so skillfully
1hdt IL udpply terminates IN the complete
reconciliation of the two. The sweet sym
pathetic love story Of Edith, the blind Sis
ter of Constance, and young Herbert Win
throp affords several particularly beautiful
and affecting scenes, while the darling
worldly, thoroughly good-hearted Mrs. Dick
Chetwyn furnishes some very bright and
interesting comedy work Mr.. Clarke ap-
pears as Buxton Scott, a more sympathetic
role than any which Mr.. Clarke has as
sumed during his engagement. The second
reception Will be given after the Thursday
matinee, at which Mr.. Clarke and his COM
pany will be pleased TO meet the audience.
