President under any circum-
stances.
Kings. emperors md pres.
idents have been xssassinated,
and many have heen dethroned
as the result of popular revolut-
ions. Charles I of England and
Louis XVI of France were both
tried, condemned and done to
death by revolutionary bodies
which overturned the Govern
ment and completely changed
it's form, and it may therefore
be considered extremely difficult
to get rid of a sovereign against
his will except by some sort of
violence.
Returning to the dictatOrial
powers in reach of the President
of the United States, whenever
he shall be ound to possess the
iron will, the genius for COM
mand, the disregard of law and
official pledges which character
lied such men rs Julius Caesar,
Napoleon BOnaparte l and Napo-
leon III. and the personal
popularity requisite to win the
people to his cause, there will be
nu more difficulty in converting
this Republic into an empire
than was experienced in the
instances mentioned. The
Roman Republic was governed
by officials elected by the people.
They were known as consuls and
triumvirs. When their official
designations were changed to
emperor, they continued to be
elective, and they were chosen in
threes as of old, but one of them
always dominated the others.
OF course, elections in such
cases were wholly fraudulent,
but at any rate the forms of
republican institions were pre-
served, although nothing re-
NAMED of their spirit and mean
ing. It is simply a matter of
that q republic which
in revolution develops
into imperialism. Whenever the
hour and the man shall both
arrive, the change takes place.

The Picayune, briefly discus.
sing the changing of the ancient
Roman Republic into an empire.
the nature and character being
wholly transmitted without alter
ing the outward form of the
Government. has declared that
such q change is entirely pos
sible in our own Republic, if
only the man to take the lead in
such a mutation shall appear.
In much the same vein of
thought Mr.. CharlesA Gardiner,
a prominent New York lawyer,
in a recent address before the
bar association of his State, set
forth the power and right of the
President to disregard, and at
will to violate every act of Con-
gress and decree of court, when
in his discretion he should think
proper to do so. Said Mr.. Gar
diner in the course of his de-
iiverance:
by the very law of his being
he is subject first to the Con-
stitution, and in executing stat
utes his discretion must be
subordinate to the higher law of
his being-the obligation faith
fully to execute his Office and the
Constitution. He must first
decide whether or not a law
should be executed at all, and in
deciding that he may ,subordin-
ate laws of Congress and DEGREES
Of courts to reasons of State.
When in his judgment the
highest good of the people for
bids him to execute q law, he
may refuse to execute it. al
though Congress may direct him
to do 70. When his jndgment
pronounces q law constitutional,
he may execute it, although the
courts declare it unconstitutional
and forbid him not to execute
Il; and hesmay refuse 70 executed
: hw that the. courts declare
constitutional and command him
to execute. Such exercise Of
his discretion cannot be revised
by sny judicial or legisis&ive
proceeding: the only remedy is
impeachment"
This i true in a general way.
The President, like any other
individual, may violate any law
which il may. please him to dis

this Government and Command.
erin Chief of the national Army
and Navy, while the members of
his Cabinet who are chiefs of de-
partments, are simply clerks un.
der his orders.
Should the President issue a
command to an officer of the mil.
itary forces, or to acabinet min
lister, and either official should
refuse to execute the command,
he would be promptly elected
from his position and another
put in his place, and there can be
no doubt that someone would
soon be found to do the Execu-
tive's bidding, and no matter how
fragrant q violation of law such
act might be, there is no way in
which the President could be
called to account under the Con.
stitution except by impeachment.
The difficulty of removing the
sovereign of a nation by any or
derby proceeding is extremely
difficult. For all practical pur-
poses the President of the United
States is such a sovereign. Com
monty he has the support of a
great political party which holds
possession of the machinery of
government, and he is also backed
up by 4 majority of the people.
Under such circumstances it
would be impossible to impeach
him.
The attempt which was made
in 1858 to secure the removal and
punishment of President Andrew
was conducted under
circumstances which were more
than possibly they
could ever te again for the
success of such q movement, but
it nevertheless wholly failed.

Republican Party in the North

In his efforts tn save the defeated

PRINCE LOUIS, RLuNpER.

III you were the guest of 4 ranch.
mGn and he was showing You around
the place. II would be a very tactless
remark TO say, How easily these
barns and haystacks would burn II
were to set fire to them
Or II You were being shown through
an art gallery. II would not be pleas
ant to remark 10 the custodian Of the
treasures: "ff | ere a lunatic,

So we cannot blame the New York

ing that the British admiral had com
mented upon the a with which the
high buildings OF New York city could
be changed into piles o ruins by the
shell fire OF a fleet Of warships an
chored In the North river.
But there Is another side to the at

Suppose you were the guest OF

and suppose. further. that two or three
OF the youngsters were blessed with
the delightful habit that some child
rem have Of asking questions. Then
II you we're practically anxious to be

But you would not like TO have your
remark repeated at the dinner table
without an explanation of the circum
stances.
So II Is not so much Prince Louis

according to the Pueblo Chieftain. as
Ii Is some of the New York reporters

HELP FOR THE RUSSIAN JEWS.

The United states government can
do no more for the protection OF the
Russian Jews than a foreign govern.
ment could do for the victims Of HI
American mob. No civilized govern.
ment would tolerate for a moment any
outside interference In such a matter,
and there is absolutely nothing that
President Roosevelt or the American
government can do In preventing Rus
sian riots or furnishing the rioters.
Even the Russian government Is
practically helpless. for that country
Is passing through such a crisis that
II Is impossible for the government to
maintain order, and II Is taxing the
utmost powers Of the authorities to
bring the country through the crisis
without absolute anarchy.
Fortunately however. It Is different
when II comes to the question Of ex.
tending a helping hand to the victims
OF the Russian mobs. Already large
sums Of monep have. been raised and
forwarded TO Russia, and men OF all
faiths have joined In this work OF
