PULPIT AND PRESS.

Not always does the press agree with
the pulpit and the pulpit with the
press. But the newspapers and the
ministers In cities where there has
been an imperfection in the relation
can take comfort in the fact if the stu
alton has not reached the point that it
at least be thankful that the reporters
are no worse than they are, and the
newspapers will share with them in
that feeling when they know that none
of the ministerial association has
wanted to "eat a reporter" as was eX-
pressed in the meeting of the clergy in
the city over on the Missouri. The
roasting the newspapers received at
the hands of the Sioux City ministers
evidently did not help matters any, for
they. in their account of the meeting,
did just what they had been so severe.
ly criticised for doing. In it's account
of the session the Journal says:
"Stung by their sense of virtue un.
appreciated and smarting under the
public conception of the preacher as an
abnormal product of a peculiar pro-
fession, the two men hoped to- the
two representatives of the power
which they believed responsible for
the forming of this conception in the
public mind. The two reporters, one
of them a woman, covered in one cor
ner, almost forgetting to take notes of
the proceeding, utterly powerless to
pronounce reply, even If they had
been given the opportunity.
"The Nestor Of the association warm
ed to his subject, throwing the hot
shot into the newspaper man and
woman to their very faces, and threat
ened toward the end of his address to
eat EN- alive in those very words.
!" I have bee here since the year 49,
continued the Nestor of the associa.
ton, in one of the "reminiscences of
which he is fond, and I have never
found out what to do with these report
ers yet. have sometimes threatened
to eat them; it would be good deal
to swallow, but no larger morsel than
the Journal and the Tribune have
forced down the throat of the public
many times. They misrepresent the
work that the association is trying to
DO, and continually get us into disre-
pute by putting plans into our minds
beside which the things that we accom-
plish look SMALL"
The Tribune says:
REV. T. F. Stauffer, pastor of Grace
Reformed church, in discussion of
newspapers and newspaper men this
morning, declared he wished he had
eaten a reporter when he had chance.
Whether he preferred the news pur-
veyor raw, boiled, baked, roasted or on
the half shell, Rev. Stauffer did not
state"
To hear what the ministers had to
say of the newspapers one would pict.
ure in his mind the Tribune rival
of the penny sheets made up of poster
type and lies, instead of modestly ex-
hibiting blush of a brilliant hue
about half an inch wide just between
its head and its body. And the staid
old Journal-well, the editor might
write an interesting discourse on How
the Journal has grown yellow
AS for eating them, the reporters
might make the ministers a fairly good
meal, but 1t would be we'll to stop
there for it would not be advisable to
get Uncle George and John G. Kelly
together in as small place as mans
stomach until several weeks after cleo
ton.

MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The death of Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
wife of the president of the confeder-
acy, calls to mind events Of half cen
fury ago, and brings again into promin-
ence an example of loving and devot-
ed wife through years Of horror So
completely had this woman disappear.
ed from public view that it is probable
that large share of the younger gen
GRAFTON did not know that she was still
living.
Her life and devotion was probably
no different than that of thousands of
others who passed through that period
Of sacrifice and sorrow, but hers stands
out prominently, as the wife of the
president of the nation that was born,
but was not to be.
She was from prominent family
of the section where she was born,
and her father was distinguished for
his valor in the war of 1872. She was
the kind of woman who would lend
courage, rather than encouragement
to such man as Jefferson Davis.
Through his life as a public servant
and as a leader of rebellion against
his country she remained with him ex-
cept during the time prison walls sep
arated them
Mrs. Davis was thoroughly a south
ern woman and held her southern sym
pathies throughout all her years. She
wrote tenderly of her husbands life,
and these memoirs are the most exact
record of his life to which one can re-
fer today
First one dies who was close to a
northern leader and then one from the
other side. and thus the lines are being

ROOSEVELT AND THE SENATE,

Kansas City Journal.-There Is moth
ing at all startling in the announce
ment that President Roosevelt is am
bilious to succeed Thomas G. Plat as
United States senator from New York.
1t is quite conceivable that the active
and tireless President should have his
eye upon, that position, especially in
view of the fact that it will be easily
within his reach. Senator Plat is aged
and broken and 1t is not at all probable
that he will ever again be candidate
before the New York legislature But
even If he should be it is not likely
that he could succeed as against Theo-
dore Roosevelt
Practically all Of Mr.. Roosevelts life
has been spent as student and man
of public affairs. He has held many
Offices both appointive and elective,
state and national. He is now only 4S
years old and is the youngest man ever
inaugurated president. He will not be
SO when his present term expires. 1t
may be said of him in the highest
sense of the term that he is a profess
sional statesman, a man given over en-
tirely to public affairs. What more ma.
tural than that he should return to his
native state where he may indulge his
bent, full of honors and beyond all
temptations to stoop to the small ex-
pedients of the mere politician. AS
senator from New York he would be
entirely independent of all administra-
tive restraint; he would be in the best
sense the leader of his party, state and
national, and his position would be Sc.
cure.
By negation, what else could Mr..
Roosevelt do? He could white books
and travel. But for man who has
led life Of such various achieve.
ments either or both of these things
would not suffice. He has shown that
he can white books and essays while
he Is president and the duties of the
seratorship would not be more exact
ing. He would not be satisfied as a
simple onlooker. Aan then, again, he
Is young, and who knows but that he
might again at some later time answer
his country's call to the presidency
There is plenty of time for this. Yes,
there is not single decisive reason
why President Roosevelt might not
succeed Senator Platt unless-and Mr..
Roosevelt has denied this most emphat.
ically-unless he should consent to be
a candidate at the next election.

der is believed to be the only one Of

There was a number Of bumps on

confidence. But thevely fear Of partial
ity Of the federal judiciary is a mat
ter Of grave concern to the entire peo-
ant that the people have confidence in
the judiciary. That they have lost it
is not to be gainsaid. And they have
not lost their confidence in it without
justification
$50 many men have been imprisoned
for doing things that they have legal
and constitutional right to do. Gentle
men, tell you if a judge-and yield
to no one in my regard for my coun-
try-were to enjoin me In something
| believed l had legal and moral
right to do I would violate the in1unc-
ton. AS an American l would pre-
serve my liberty and that of my peo-
pie, even against federal judges.
And | would think that I was serv-
ing the best interests of my country.
The courts have gone very far in the
exercise of federal power. We hold
that iniunctions shall not be issued
when there is adequate remedy at law.
A man, we hold, shall not be sent to
prison except by his peers. We must
seek to avoid the evils Of the federal
injunction" Mitchell was vigorously
applauded when he finished.
In discussing this matter Walter
Drew, commissioner Of the National
Iron Erectors' association, for the 9th
er side, said in part: Separated from
any question of defect in the law OF
in its administration the demand that
temporary injunctions should not issue
| in labor controversies becomes q de
mand that the practice Of our courts
shall be changed to grant special i'm
munity and privileges to one particular

son other than this exists for discon
tinuing the temporary injunction In Ia
Dor cases which does not exist in any
other case that might ARISE
