THE PRINCE OF PARAGRAPHIsTS

There is deep pathos in the death Of
Mr.. Harry L. Merrick. of the editorial
staff of the Washington Post. Every per-
son who has read that excellent paper
has been pleased with its wise, witty and
brilliant paragraphs. 1t is not too much
to say that Mr.. Merrick. the writer of
those paragraphs, was easily the first
paragraphist in America. He has had
many imitators, but nobody has ap-
preached him in gentle fun, sarcasm and
ridicule of prominent men, without a
trace of bitterness or malice His bright
and pungent paragraphs showed thorough
knowledge of politics, politicians, public
measures. a single line with him often
contained as much as a long editorial.
He was a master in the art of suggestive
writing-an art that appeals to the
knowledge of the reader. He presumed
upon the intelligence and quickness and
full information of the reader-an art
of writing that calls for the possession
of genius.

REvENUEOFFICERs ARE RATHER
PREVIOUS.

The revenue officers, the gaugers and
store keepers are so determined to make
the Watts law odious that they are rather
OVERRIDING the thing. Every time some
fellow sets up a moonshine still in a re-
mote cove or out of the way nook, the
revenue officers get out in front of some
court house and declare that the Watts
law is doing more harm than all the
licensed county still which 1t runs out of
business. Revenue Officer Satterfield,
who as Principal Clerk of the House I'M
der Radical rule, became well known in
the court records of the State, has been
telling about the bad effects of this law.
He is thus quoted by the Durham
Herald:
Z "Illicit whiskey distilleries have in
. reased great deal since the passage of
ne Watts liquor bill and he linds 1T
y ifficult to handle the situation. He told
q reporter that the moonsaine business
had increased at least r. per cent. since
the passage OF the. p-w law"
In order thai Revenue Officer Sltter-
field may cot make further exhibition of
i,ipa--.i, will not some Republican tell
him that the Watts law will not go into
effect until the first of July?

LEE WAS TAUGHT SECESSION.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, in pub
fishing his address, delivered in Charles
ton, on the Constitutional Ethics of Sc
cession," has added a foot-note which
the Northern sense, what the extremists
have called him, "a rebel" for in seced-
ing from the Union, he was following out
the teaching impaired at West Point
when he was a cadet in the National
Military Academy there. Mr.. Adams
says that in 1929, when General Lee
graduated, one of the textbooks he had
to study was "Rawle's View OF The
Constitution, written by William RawIe,
an eminent Philadelphia lawyer. The
book was the text boo. on constitutional
law until 1910, Mr. Adams gives the
following quotation from the text book:
IF a faction should attempt to sub
vert government of State for the pur-
pose of destroying its republican form,
the paternal power of the Union should
thus be called forth to subdue it. Yet
it is not to be understood that its in
terpostion would be justifiable if the
people of a State should determine to re-
tire from the Union, whether they adopt
ed another or retained the same form
Of government. ePage 2S9)
1.-THE State, then, may wholly with
draw from the Union; but while they con-
tinue they must retain the character of
representative republics. page 290)
THE secession of a State from the
Union depends on the will of the people
of such State. page 1851
THE people of State may have some
reasons to complain in respect to acts of
the general government; they may in
such cases invest some of their own of
ficers with the power of negotiations.
and may declare an absolute secession in
case of their failure. Still, however. the
secession must in such case be distinctly
and peremptorily declared to take place
on that event; and in such case, as in
the case of an unconditional secession, the
previous 1igament with the Union would
be legitimately and fairly destroyed But
in either case Conditional or uncondi-
tional secession) the people is the only
moving power. page 1861
