Especial Washington Letter.l
T HISgovernment of ours Is divided
into three branches, which are
equal IN power under the con-
stitution. The executive meaning the
presidentgwho controls all of the exec
utive departments; the Legislative, in
Guiding the senate and house Of repre-
sentatives, and the judicial which
means the supreme court.
The executive and legislative
branches Of the government ore elect-
ed by the people; but the supreme
court is composed OF individuals APP
pointed by the president, and confirmed
by the senate. Consequently, the
supreme court is farthest removed
from the people, although it is, and
always has been, the safe e~Onservator
Of the rights OF the people under their
constitution. It was the purpose Of
the trainers of the constitution to give
to the people everlastingly the right
to choose their own president and
legislators; but, with wise discretion,
they removed from the direct power
of popular impulse, the great judicial
tribunal. Therefore, in this govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the. people, the supreme court is
free from the immediate power of the
people.
OF course, the people elect their presi-
dents, and those presidents nominate
judges of the supreme court. OF
course, the people, through their legis-
eleet the senators who con-
nWmin9tions, which
judgments are freU
cal influence whatever. On
count, mainly, the decisions of the
supreme court have universally been
commended by fair minded men of all
political affiliations. Even the famous
bred Scott decision is admitted to
have been an absolutely correct in
depreciation of the constitution; be-
cause the constitution, unamended,
gave the negro ''no rights which a white
man was bound to respect" Even the
WAAGANCu CONSTITUTION uOGS AOb GOl4DCA
that respect which was intended to be
compelled, because there has always
been a lack of yigor in the enforce
ment of the amendments and~of the
civil rights statute.
1t has become the duty of President
Roosevelt to select two justices of the
supreme court, and those selections
have met with popular approval, as
well as senatorial consent. Other
presidents have had great difficulty,
at times, in selecting for these impor-
tant positions men whose nominations
were wholly in accord with the views
of a majority of the senators.
The nominations sent to the senate
by the president are always considered
in executive session; and what SEN
ators say when all of the doors are
closed cannot be ~ascertained by the
general public. In those sessions the
statesmen talk very freely, and vent
their views without always maintains
ing that decorum of demeanor and that
courtesy to each other, which are pro-
verbal when the senate is in public
session.
When the senate is in executive
session a red light appears over the

THE GOVERNORS APPEAL.


It was an inspiring thought that ami
mated the Governor when, in his mes
sage to the general assembly, he called
upon that body to appropriate what
ever money should prove to be needed
to provide for state care of the graves
of Confederate soldiers.
tits hopeful sign of the times when,
from forceful representative Of the
New South comes this appeal for the
performances of the states duty to
those who fought and died that the
Old South should live.
The Press prints this afternoon the
full text of the governors message re-
lating to this subject. Other than to
give it the heaty endorsement of his
newspaper and to predict that it will
receive from the people of Georgia an
endorsement in no way less hearty and
sincere, there is little to add to Gov
ernor Terrell's patriotic words.
AS he suggests, the state pays
its share of the taxes for the care of
the cemeteries in which repose
the remains of the federal slain, and
surelyit can afford to give of its bounty
to the care of those neglected mounds
under which rest the bones of the
South's heroic dead.
The governor would not take away
from the women of the state the right
they have so long and so lovingly
cherished of decorating, on annually re-
surfing occasions, these lowly graves.
His purpose is SO plain, and provides
that throughout the seasons and the
years and the coming centuries these
places were valor sleeps shall be made
to bloom and blossom, through the
loving tendance that the manhood Of
the present and the future shall pay tc
the glorious heroism of the past.
Let the Confederate Memorial Board
be organized! May it's ministration
be successful and those shrines that
are to become the subjects of its care
live in a perennial beauty Savannah

Deafness Cannot Be Cnrad

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and hat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an ipflamed condi-
tiOn of the mucous Inning of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless, the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrb, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

There was once little boy named

Snap. Snap was little fox terrier. and
always followed his master everywhere
he went. One day they went out for
stroll. and Snap ran on ahead OF Henry.
lie ran long ways after rabbit, and
then did not come back To Henry.
Henry called and hunted for. him. but at
last he had to go home without him.
He did not know that dos-steaIer
had caught his little dog. Well. the
next day the dog did not come, and
Henry was sad little boy all day. The
third day Snap did not come. Bat the
next morning Henry heard scratching
at the door, and you can imagine his
delight at seeing Snap, but the poor little
dog was tired. muddy and hungry. His
neck was so sore where the rope around
II had rubbed, that he yelped with pain
Whenever Henry touched 1t. Henry fed
him and petted him until night. The
next morning lie ran to see about Snap,
He found him stretched ont on the floor
stone dead He cried as f his heart
would break, for he loved Snap dearly.
He buried him In a box lined with cloth,
and this is what he put on the wooden
tombstone over Snaps grave:

can do that, your arm has little more to

the bell and don't let 1t wiggle or wob-

The heavier 1t is the more important Is
this point.
If a man is lifting one hundred and
fifty or Two hundred pound weight, the
least swayng to one side or the other
will send It crashing down. and 1t is at
that moment that he Is in grave danger
from two things, One is that tho i'm
mense weight may 'topplc on his own
head or neck and shoulders and frac-
ture his skull. break his neck or even
his spine. The other is that, as the
weight falls, bis body may act Just like
the hostlng engine with n runaway
load and smash up-in other words. he
may rupture himself or even burst his
heart,
