The DevoIution of the Presidency
BY HUBERT M. SKINNER.

our constitutional plan for the presiden-
tial succession was generally restored, and
no trace OF the old-time apprehension lin
gers now, when a vice president who was
not nominated to please a disappointed
faction, but was the choice of a united
party, has been called to finish the great
work of his predecessor.
1t is Of interest to note that the devolu-
ton Of the Office of governor is some-
What different from that Of the presi-
dency. In many of the states there Is
lieutenant governor on whom the pow
ers and duties of the governors office
may devolve. In that case he is gem
orally known as "aeting governor Oil
Yer 2. Morton, the great war governor"
of Indiana, was elected lieutenant gov
ernor with Gov. Henry S. Lane in 1860,
the latter serving only two days and re-
signing to enter the senate During the
four years which followed Morton served
as governor, but always regarded himself
as still lieutenant governor acting gov
ernor; and in 1854 he was elected gov
ernor, though the constitution of the
state does not allow to the same person
two gubernatorial terms in succession.
When he resigned, in 1861 to enter the
senate, Lieut.. Gov. Conrad Baker sue
ceeded him, and in 1868 he also was elect
ed governor for full term. These prece-
dents have been followed in many other
states. In Mexico, until recently, the
chief justice of the supreme court has
succeeded to the presidency in case of
a vacancy. In France and in Switzer-
land new president is elected. All things
considered, our own plan for the deyolu
ton of the great office is deemed the best
and most suited to the general plan of
our government.

But whenever a stick has remained in
water beyond four weeks 1t has sunk
and, as 1t takes fully six weeks to drive

give encouragement for future work.

Its the first time 1 ever saw any one
who could make a green birch log float,
and 1 am glad you're getting rich from
the contract. Now, how did you fix these
logs so they can't sink?"
'Pll tell you replied Davis. "All I
use is just what you give your customers

red heart wood of the birches is not fit

r I'VE times in our history the Office Of
chief executive has developed upon

r I'VE times in our history the Office Of
chief executive has developed upon
the vice president through the death
Of the incumbent. Harrison and Taylor
died in the White house, each after a
very brief illness. Of the three that were
assassinated, Lincoln died within few
hours, Garfield after lingering more than
eleven weeks and Mckinley at the end OF
a week. In each case the devolutfon OF
the office was permanent and complete,
and occurred after the death Of the
stricken president. When the elder Har-
rison passed away and the first precedent
of devolution of the Office was to be es-
tablished the question arose whether the
vice president was to be president in
fact Or was to be regarded as perform
ing the duties of president while retain
ing his title as vice president. Mr.. Web
ster, who had great influence in the cabi-
net, gave it as his opinion that the office
itself, and not merely its powers and
duties,' devolved upon Mr.. Tyler; and
this opinion was accepted and acted upon.
In the future there may be instances OF
the temporary devolution of the powers
and duties,' but no precedent for it ex-
. lists at the present time.
In the first three instances the devolu-
ton of the office was followed by great
eommotion throughout the nation. Almost
at the very outset the lnroe men VINO sue
ceeded disrupted the political organiza-
lions with which they had been identified
Tyler by vetoing the bank bill, Fillmore
by signing the compromise measures Gin
Guiding the fugitive slave law) and john
son by opposing the congressional plan for
the reconstruction of the Confederate"
states. Twenty years ago the people had
come to regard the constitutional plan of
the vice presidency as one of very doubt
full wisdom. 1.-THE vice president" said
some, twill always be nominated from
the defeated faction in a convention, to
promote harmony in the campaign. He
will represent the opposition to the adj
ministration within the party. His sue
cession will mean the triumph Of his fac
ton, and a reversal of the policy of his
predecessor After three such expe-
riences this opinion became very general.
The accession of President Arthur was an
event of serious apprehension, especially
since the circumstances of his elevation
were not at all favorable to his success.
The new president, however, surprised
both his friends and his foes by the adj
mirable character of his administration,
which won the respect of the nation and
of the world Confidence in the wisdom of

Antidote for love-sickness-
Justice Underwood
You have to be UP and moving if
you intend to marry a Chicago girl"
declared Justice Underwood '9They
want to know that you can do more
than NOPE around the house with
lovelorn smile and write gushing let
tiers. Even If your love is so strong
that your nose bleeds, it won't always
win a girls heart
Take a walk in the morning, stand
on State street, and see other girls go
by at noon, and forget your troubles at
the theater in the evening. Then, if
you can't sleep, take a glass of beer
for insomnia. You'll soon get over the
idea there's only one girl in the city"
Love, evidenced by nose bleeds and
ardent notes, had resulted in the ar
rest OF Frank Clifford. 1t was on Sun
day night that the love fires in Gifford's
heart became SO intense that his nose
started to bleed. He Immediately wrote
to Miss Adeline Carpenter that he
would die within an hour unless she
came to console him.
1t was o'clock in the morning when
Miss Carpenter received the note. The
street cars were not running, and she
did not hasten to his rescue. But Gift
ford did not die. and when Miss Car
penter arose yesterday morning she
saw him pacing to and fro in front Of
her home. Slipping out through a rear
door she ran to Justice UnderWood's
house and secured a warrant for her
lovers arrest. Two officers INTERRUPTED
his self-imposed picket duty and
brought him to court.
Miss Carpenter is young and pretty
She came here recently from Kalama-
zoo, Mich, and is a stenographer in a
downtown office. Clifford is middle
aged and serious minded. He also
comes from Michigan. The tragic note
In which he made his last plea is as
follows:
''Addie: You have forced sick man
from his bed. I suffered with nose
bleed for four hours last night, and
two doctors told me unless it was
stopped in thirty minutes I would be
dead. Your note was responsible for
my condition. sent for you at a. M
Twelve hours have passed and you
have not arrived I will call for you
this evening. We will close the books.
Be ready, as you prize your honor, good
name, home, friends and position.
Frank"
81 had no desire to have F'inis' writ
ten in my book of life" explained Miss
Carpenter. Il was afraid he intended
to kill me-"
Clifford appeared repentant and hui
inflated. The warrant on which he
was arrested charged him with making
threats to kill. No weapons were found
on his person. He promised to cease
attempting to force his attentions on
the girl. After giving him a lecture,
Justice Underwood discharged him
The man promised to take the treat
ment
Perhaps I'll forgive him." admitted
Miss Carpenter, as she followed him
from the court room
