a LEsE MAJEsTEou QUESTION.

2 ENATOR y. B. SCOTT Of West Vir-
- GINA has come to the conclusion
that a request from the president IS
not necessarily a command. A few
DAYS ago the senator called on Presi-
dent Roosevelt and found him en-
gagged. He waited some minutes and
left. Before he got out Of the White
House d messenger overlook him and
announced that the president was
ready to receive him
Tell the president I haven't time TO
stop now" was the senator's reply /
viii see him some other time" And,
greatly to the horror of the messenger
Senator Scott pursued the even teno~
Of his way.
a great many people who have an
exaggerated notion of the duty We owe
I'd the president viii view the action OF
Senator Scott with feelings that ap-
proximate horror. They viii say that
no matter what other engagements he
may have had. he should have imme-
6iately gone TO the president when the
latter expressed a willingness to see
him. They viii see in his refusal a
sort Of Iese majestic Of the most I'M
pardonablc character.
But, after all. did not Scott have an
undoubted right to 90 ahead with his
private business? Was he guilty Of a
grave discourtesy to the president in
treating him as he would have treated
q citfzen2 It is true that presidents
are entitled to consideration which no
private citizen could expect, but there
t. such thing as going too far The
president, after all. is only a citizen,
the first citizen Of the republic, chosen
by his fellow citizens to hold for time
the reins of authority.
II. no sense is he their ruler. Rather
is he their servant, the highest stew
ard in all the land. Still, he is a
steward. and while The Herald would
go as far as any to do him honor, the
time has not yet come when citizens
must sacrifice their personal engage
ments and duties to wait upon him.
We heard very little about pOmp and
circumstance in the presidential office
prior to the Roosevelt regime
It is only since his induction into
office that the saying has come about
that an invitation from the president
is a command The saying has ex-
tended even to the presidents family
so that in Washington. if Miss ROose-
welt desires to give a pink tea at the
eleventh hour. all engagements made
prior to that hour are Immediately can

entertainment shall not lack guests
Something is wrong about such a
system and it viii be interesting ID
know whether or not Senator Scott
suffers from his violation Of it.

AIRsHIPs A SUCCESS.

THE DREAM Of aerial navigation
L became reality to Parisians who
were gathered on the Longchamps
race course on Sunday last While
the horses were being saddled for a
race somebody looked up and saw three
airships approaching. Apparently IN
der perfect control they came on 70
the track One Of them descended, we
are told. as lightly as a bird and
touched the ground in the enclosure
inside the track.
1t was the Santos Dumont No. 9, in
charge Of its inventor. After a brief
stay Santos Dumont again assembled,
and. joining his aerial squadron, went
through some maneuVers and then
proceeded to their starting place. The
fight was more in the nature Of an
outing than a test. Santos Dumont
probably asked his friends to join him
in a flight to the races and they &C
cepted the invitation.
While it cannot be said that the
problem Of aerial navigation has been
solved, certainly it is fair TO say that
a vast deal Of progress has been made
So far the Santos DumOnt airships
have had a capacity Of one passenger
only, that one being the inventor The
dispatches say he has almost COM
pleted another airship, the Santos Du-
mont No. 10. which viii carry twelve
people. That looks ike the real thing.
The airship Of twelve-passenge ca
pacity viii be Of some use, if it will do
all that Santos Dumont claims for it.

Grating it by the last of this month.
Already he has been inundated with
requests for places and he viii be kept
busy for many months to come taking

SOME RAILROAD FIGURES.

4 SUMMARY of the report Of the
Il interstate commerce commits
sion for the fiscal year that ended
June 30. 1902, has just been issued. Al
though the report is nearly a year be
hind the times its figures are interest
ing because they are accurate and be-
cause they are the most recent obtain
able The most interesting feature OF
the document is the showing OF rail-
road building.
The mileage of the country was in
creased by a total of 1924 miles, which
means that if all the track built could
be stretched out in straight line it
would reach from the Atlantic ocean
TO the Pacific ocean and two-thirds Of
the way back again. The addition OF
1924 miles made a grand total for the
country Of POP. III miles and keeps the
United States where 1t has always
been. far ahead Of any other nation
ii the matter Of railroads II side
tracks and switches were included in
the above total the exact figures Of
railway mileage would be 274195 miles.
To keep the railroads in operation,
4122S locomotives were kept in con-
slant use, together with 1.64O. go cars.
exclusive OF private cars, the use Of
which is growing very rapidly. An idea
Of this may be gained from the state
ment that while, only a few years ago.
the private cars were numbered by
hundreds only, during the year covered
by the report 26.991 were in service in
the passenger departments.
Another interesting feature of the
report consists in its statistics relative
to the number Of employees. It took
an army Of 1.1Ss.S15 men to keep the
roads going They were paid in wages
the tidy sum of S676.O2S. 592, an amount
equivalent to 50 per cent Of the gross
operating expenses and 80 per cent Of
the gross receipts. This goes to show
shat the railroad employees are getting
q comfortable percentage Of the pro
ceeds that flow into the treasures Of
their companies
Railway capital stock outstanding

total Of So, 134. 1s2, 964, which is seq ao1
per mile OF track. And in this connec-
ton it may be said that the roads are
sufficiently capitalized, for il is doubt
ful if a line in the country was built
and equipped as a cost Of s63,SO1. per
mile or any amount approximating
that figure.

Der Of 649.S7S, sos, Of whom S,5ss were

it upon himself TO see that the second

ANDY JOHNSON OF THE PULPIT.
A Tennessee Tailor Who Flung Away
His Shears and Became Famous.

New York SUM-
Andrew Johnson was not the only
man in Tennessee who went from a
tailor's bench to fame" said a Ten
neSSean who recently returned from a
trip to the home of the man who rose
from Obscurity 70 the presidency. Il
had almost forgotten the other one, IN
til l went back.
You know when a man has been
away from his old home many years
and goes back to it, he usually visits
the graveyard to read about the vir-
tues of those whom he knew in the
flesh, and who have gone on ahead of
him. / was making such a visit, in
company with an old friend, one of
the few remaining, when he pointed
out a very imposing shaft. I read
the name Of the deceased on the base,
but for the moment I did not recall
him.
d" You don't remember him?' asked
my friend. He got to be famous be
fore he died.
" You know that he used to be the
village tailor That was before you
We're born. I think my father had
something to do with making him IA
nous.
=" Ny father was a poor man in those
days and, like many people Of that
class, he had open accounts with
every one in business, with few cred
its marked UP. My father owed the
lanky tailor a bill and 1 am sorry to
say the tailor sued him. Ny father
beat him on the judgment and that
made the tailor famous.
g IN that mood he flung bis shears
from his table onto the floor and.
jumping from his perch on the bench,
he said 10 his workmen:
d" BY the eternal there's a better way
of making a living than this, and out
he went.
g He went down to the creek, pom
dering suicide, as he afterward said,
and when he reached the bank he saw
a preacher baptising a, lot of converts.
He became interested and walked out
into the creek and told the preacher
to put him under, and it was done
" He at once began evangeIizing on
his own hook, and people 1Ocked to
hear him. He got quiet a reputation.
and then, as is usually the case, he
got a call to a big church and a big
salary to boot. He became a power
in his denomination and made mis-
mark.
" He died sorae years after, and not
many years ago his body was brought
back here and rests there under that
shaft. The town built it. I cOntribu-
ted my share, not only because
thought I should do so as a citizen,
but because was under the impress
sion that my old man never paid the
bill which caused the tailor to throw
away his shears and which started the
man on his way to the top
Then I recalled the fact that the
Rev. Dr. -, whose name I must keep,
was a famous pulpit orator And that
reminds me that tailOrs in Tennessee
to this day are regarded with more
consideration than any class Of cr-
tisans."
