THE PRESIDENTS INFLUENCE.

From the Providence Journai
 The presidents position as a party leader is not circumscriped by the pure ly technical duties of his office. That is to say, although he cannot himself in- augurate the legislation ho desires, al- though he cannot compel congress to do what it does not wish to do, he has nev- ertheless a very strong weapon in pub lie confldence-a weapon that in other hands has more than once forced reluc- tant legislators to rise to the measure of national need We have seen in the disregard of MT. McKinley's wise words concerning reciprocity and in the indif- ference to MT. RooseveIt's demand tor justice to Cuba, conspicuous illustrations of congre ssioral indifference or enmity: yet who can doubt that both have had a potent effect upon the public mind and that the mon at Washington will sooner or later be compelled to admit it? The presidents recognition of the necessity for curbing the trusts must also, wheth- CT consciously or not on his part, give greater strength to the demand for tariff reform.

special election. It provided "that when ever the powers and duties Of the office of President Of 1he United States shall devolve upon any of the officers named herein. If congress be not then In ses- sion, or If 1t would not meet in accord ance with law within 20 days thereafter. 1t shall be the duty of the person upon whom the said powers and duties shall devolve to issue proclamation conven- ing congress in extraordinary session, giving 20 days notice of the time of meeting"
 Although the act of January 19. 1886, does not specifically state that a special election shall be held for the election of persons to fill the vacancies in the offices of President and vice-President in the emergency described, 1t Is held that such is the meaning and purpose of the act, and that the necessity for the convening of congress Is for the purpose of enabling that body. in its discretion, to authorize the holding of a special election.
 The person succeeding to the Presi- dency under the conditions recited Is to hold office until the disability of the President or Vice-President is removed or a President shall be elected" the de- termination of this matter being left dis cretionary with congress.
 Thus if the vacancy should occur within a short time of the expiration of the term of office for which the incum- bent had been regularly chosen, it would be manlfestly unwise to order a special election. and the person who succeeded would be permitted to continue in office until a President could be elected in ac- cordanee with law. The acting Presi- dent, however would be required to con vene congress in extra session unless a less period than 20 days should intervene between the death or disability of the President and the time appointed for the regular assembling of that body.
 In any event, the question or ele %-ig a successor to fill the vacancy would rest with congress.

BERLIN BoERSE.
German Market Lacked a Uniform
 Tendency-Coal Advances.

Berlin September 7.-The Boerse last week lacked a uniform tendency. The rather rapid advance of coal and iron shares of the previous week in spite of the unpleasant reminders that the indus trial situation had not yet improved, was seen to have been unwarranted Consequently the tendency of this depart ment was to take profits, and this was especially true Friday as a result of the weak New York market of Thursday. but coal shares recovered Saturday upon the announcement that the coke restric- tion for the month of August had been only 2S per cent as against 2s per cent for July.
 Domestic rails scored further slight gains during the week. Shares of the North German Lloyd and Hamburg American lines were fractionally lower, but succeeded moderately yesterday. Domestic governments weakened until yesterday when there was a recovery. Among foreign rentes the chief interest centered in Turkish; this was a result of M. Rouvier's conversion and unification scheme. which is interpreted here as fla vorable to the bondholders The Turkish lottery loan continued its advance of the previous week. reaching 125 Canadian Pacifics had a strong market, but owing to the tightness of money here the feel ing regarding the American situation is still nervous.

THE PISTOL ToTER.

F'rcm the Memphis Commercial Appeal
 Judge Moss of the criminal court has called attention to the evil of pistol car rying and he has directed the grand jury to do what can be done to suppress the evil.
 There is much to be done. Pistol car rying is more generally indulged in than most people believe. Any night in the week 1t is safe to wager that one man out of every six seen on the streets is armed and ready to reach for his hip pocket in case of trouble.
 The colored brother has grown to be an inveterate pistol toter. He has laid aside the razor or uses 1t for domestic purposes and he has provided himself with a pistol of some sort. Indeed with the sporty Senegambian the pistol is looked upon as a necessary and very at tractive article of dress.
 Young white men aud boys are addict ed to the pistol toting habit also When out at night and especially when out late many go armed. Young society men claim that they are compelled to defend themselves and the ladies wno nccompa- ny them against the insults and assaults of hoodlums and there is some force in the claim because policemen who have to cover miles of territory can give but little time to any particular location and the ruffians have full swing. But ruff iiansm should be vigorously suppressed and this can be done by the vigorous enforcement of the law.
 The only way to put an end to pistol toting is by making its punishment sure and certain and by making it the duty of officers to discover and arrest those who carry pistols.
 As it is, there Is too much latitude al- lowed. City and county officials or em- ployes are among the most persistent violators of the law in this respect and so long ss they set the example others may be expected to follow. The spawn of special deputies who go about plum dering the weak and ignorant have huge pistols strapped to them and they seem proud of displaying their weapons on all occasions.
 All this should be stopped. It can he done by vigilance on the part of officers and firmness on the part or the criminal court, as promised by Judge Moss and as expected, because of that promise, by the people.

STORIES TOLD ABOUT
 R. C. DEGRAFFENREID

dier and as strong as an ox. He was the man for kicking down a door or other act of athletic statesmanship, and athletic statesmanship is not entirely out of fashion even now at the dignihed end of congress.
 During the war Kilgore was ordered home to take part in the roundup of certain deserters. One day late in the afternoon he was in the country in quest l of a deserter, who had been of the lay out for year. Buck was very tired and very hungry. He called at a house by the roadside, and there he found a buxom woman just taking from the oven baked chicken. The savor of the fowl made him ravenous. He had Mexican dollar, pocket piece he had carried since his enlistment, and he was much attach ed to it. but the pottage was very en- ticing, and he offered the coin for the bird. The lady said the chicken was for sick friend. and declined to sell.
 But she continued, I'll jump you for it..
 What do you meanT said Buck
 T mean that we will see who of us [ can jump farthest from the doorsilI out into the yard. and the one of us that beats shall have both dollar and chicken
 "'All right; that suits me exactly said Buck
 ''The dollar was placed on the dish be- side the chicken and his gun was leaned against the door. Buck slung his arms, confident of victory, for he was the champion jumper of his regiment He made a tremendous jump-above twelve feet. It was with difficulty that he re- covered, and when he turned to the door there was the lady with his cooked gun in her hands, and it's butt to her should CTS, and her finger on the trigger
 "Quoth she: Now. you just fiirt the gravel down the road, young man, or I'll make buzzard's meat of you before hell can singe a gnat.
 There was shoot in Ter eye and buck and ball in the gun. Buck hirted the gravel with impotent rage in his heart and voluble profanity on his tongue.
 By this time it was nearly dark Over a field Buck spied gin house. He went to it and climbed into the loft, laid down on the floor and was soon fast asleep. AIter a time ne was awakened by voices below. He listened and made the dis- covery that it was female voice, and a moment later he realized that she was relating the jumping episode to her com panion, who gave vent to peal after peal oI laughter. There were his dollar and the chicken. which he could see by the tallow dip. Peering above. he saw his gun also. There was a big hole ir the loft and just as the man began sm thb chicken Buck jumped through the holk and seized the gun. Before they re- covered from their astonishment he roared: Madam, you just flirt the gravel and as for this gentleman. he and I will fiirt gravel to the provost marshal. have been looking for him for week. Buck recovered the dollar and ate the chlIken."

JAPAN's DEMOCRATIC EMPEROR

From the Indianapolis News.
 There is no barbaric splendor about the court of Japan, nor does the emperor in- sist on fantastic forms of homage. He IS just a plain individual. His guests he receives standing, and he enters freely into conversation with all. There is scarcely a subject which does not inter- est him, or one on which he is not well informed. A delightful host, 1t is his custom to surround himself with clever men-men who are the shining lights of their professions. Engineers, artists, mu- sicians, writers, soldiers, scientists-ev- cry class of persons who nave wen dis tinction is welcomed at the royal table for it is one of the characteristics of his majesty that in the distribution of his favors he is thoroughly impartial.

Campalan of 1904.

The action of the anti-Drivilege democrats of Ohio antagonizes the eastern democrats who are supporting ,n turn Richard Olney, David Bennett qill and Grover Cleveland and Govern nr Patterson. Iowa supports Ohio. and the line of cleavage is thus be- coming sectional-the west against the east No doubt Tom L. Johnson is to be reckoned with in 1904. He lives in a central state-a president making state-a state that sometimes goes democratic, and 1t seems to be his intention to run for governor of his state next year. If he carries Ohio he becomes a national figure of the democratic sort.
 But if he cannot carry Ohio next year, and David B. Hill as political manager of New York loses that state this year and Governor Odell is re- elected, both of these men will then be politically eclipsed, as are Richard Olney who cannot carry his own state, and Grover Cleveland who cannot carry New Jersey or New York, and who is handicapped with the third term issue. Will not the democrats then turn to a man who can carry his own state-who lives In a border southern state-who is neither Tom Johnson nor a Grover Cleveland man who is one of the best equipped men
 in public life today-will they not turn to Arthur Pue German as the man of 1904? He would unite the party, and if the time has come for change from Dingleyism and impe- rialism, he would sweep the country.

Here We Rest.

The esteemed Springfield Republi- can, printed not in Missouri, or Illi- uois or Ohio, but in Massachusetts, says
 man named Jelks, the present acting governor, will be the next governor of Alabama with four years term. A nat ural result of the new constitution is that while only about 25O0 negroes are voters, some 5000 white men failed b register lsrgely because all political pow CT is immovably lodged in one political party. A vigorous white mans republ.- can party will have to arise in order to keep the politics or the state out of a deathly paralysis.
 William Dorsey Jelks will indeed be elected governor in November, and this is about the only statement in the quoted paragraph that is true. It is not true that 52,000 men or any number of men failed to register largely because "all political power is tmmovably lodged in one political par z ". ANo StotChiShb Coulu Well O6 lar ther away from the truth than this.
 Nor is it true that the politics of the state is about to fall into a .deathly paralysis" There is plenty of politics to the acre In this state and there always will be in Alabama no lack of politics. A short spell of death never will be. A short spell of death " paralysis" would be welcomed, after the termoil of the last three years. This state has in fact conspired in her new constitution to have four-year rests from politics, and these rests are popular. The new constitution con tains no provisions that are more pop- liar. ''Deathly paralysis" is not a happy term, but rest from political contention is just what Alabama wsnts and longs for, in order that business may be pushed forward, new enterprises started, and old ones made more productive. Alabama desires more business and less politics, and These are what she will secure under her new constitution.

 h 1895 Michigan adopted the plan, appropriating s5o00 for that purpose h 1ss6 Iowa appropriated $400O to carry books to secluded communities, and ohio's appropriation of that year was a like amount. Wisconsin, New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana. Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Yer mont. Nebraska, Idaho and Washing ton in turn adopted the system, each voting to it from $500 to $4OOO year.
 The movement Is extending south ward. Already Maryland has adopted the system, the last legislature having voted s20OO for the establishment of travelling libraries, and 5000 annually for their support The women of other southern states are at work, for 1t is through efforts Of Womens cluDs Jnat books are carried to isolated homes. Each travelling library is in a case holding from 35 to 100 volumes strong wooden cases provided with shelves, handles, doors and locks. Some conditions have to be met, but they are not onerous. and in one case in Wisconsin the millxman acted as librarian, dealing out mental pabNlum as well as the lacteal fluid. The pext Alabama legislature will be asked to consider the question, and there are many reasons why a start should be made in this state in the carrying of books to remote rural districts. It is a system well adapted to the needs of this state.

IravelinQ Libraries.

The travelling library is fast becom- Ing an important factor in public edu- cation. It meets needs that cannot otherwise be supplied in remote homes and scattered populations. It carries books to people who cannot afford to buy them.
 The plan was originated in Scotland in 1S10, and it was first tried in this country in 1881. In 1869 the Boston and Albany railroad installed the first corporation system. But in Australia in 1860 the idea was first fully applied, and it is full operation there today. It was not until 1893 that the state of New York started her first travelling libraries, and now that populous state is fairly permeated with such libraries. Books are thus carried into every hamlet to the farmer, the housewife,

The New Archbishop.

'The appointment of Bishop John M. Farley to be archbishop of New York in succession to the late Archbishop Corri- gan gives the highest satisfaction to the Catholics of the archdiocese" said a layman who is familiar with church con- ditions in New York.
 "The beloved prelate comes from good old Irish stock in County Monaghan and the ardent patriotism that characterized his people for many generations there Is a matter of the keenest pride to Irish relatives in this country.
 'Monsignor Farley Is not only a ripe scholar but he is one of the most genial and taetful of men. I doubt if there is another ecclesiastic in New York who has larger personal following than he. "
