of colored troops would not have been
issued, the circumstances In all other
respects being the same, against a
battalion OF white troops. 1t is the
case itself which suggests that the
president has concluded that the col.
ored vote is now negligible compared
with the Southern white vote. II Is
evidently in vain to tell men OF the
African race that the presidents ac-
tion is simply one Of the products OF
his well-known impulsiveness, an that
he would have done the same thing
that he did do had the offending bat

will not believe 1t. They will continue
to believe that the presidents "cruel

battalion is the presidents roundabout
and belated apology to the Southern
whites for his entertainment In the
White House Of a distinguished man
Of color. That was the sentiment that
actuated meeting Of colored preach

them said, very nobly. that 1t Is not

The Logic Of
the Situation
Not IA question Of color but Of law Save this
for future reference.

III tne context OF the unanimous Optn.
ion sufficient appears to warrant the
conclusion that the court would hold
such of the original amendments ap.
plicable to the army and navy as were
put in conflict with the constitutional
power granted to congress to provide
for the government of the land and
naval forces Of the United States. II
may therefore safely be concluded that
the constitutional safeguard Of due
process Of law" while 1t does not pro-
tect agains summary dismissal from
the military service, does protect
against the arbitrary action OF the ex.
ecutive in assuming to inflict upon a
discharged soldier, thus become a civ
ilian, the punishment. without trial.
of disqualification for employment
in the civil service, even during the
term OF the president who issues the
order, and even more forever" or
after the term Of that president has
expired. 1t seems. therefore, that the
president has clearly exceeded his
powers.
2. AS question Of administration
1t is greatly to be regretted that the
president did not in this case allow
the military procedure to take its
usual course. That procedure might
perfectly well have been initiated by
himself. 1t would have been the con-
vening of a court Of inquiry In order
judicially to ascertain the facts. Be
fore such tribunal every member of
the accused battalion could have been
summoned, and could have shielded
himself from testlfying only by claim.
Ing his constitutional right to refuse
to give testimony that might incrimi.
nate him. Hod no other purpose been
served by this orderly procedure, 1t
would have permitted every innocent
suspect to give an account Of himself
and to show that he had no connec.
ton with the disorder under investi-
cation. The president would thus have
been saved from the infliction OF dis
grace upon the many innocent as well
as upon the few guilty. He has pre-
ferre to take final action in conform
ity with the ex parte report of his
inspector general, who had at his
command none Of the means recog.
nized by military any more than by
the civil law as essential to judicial
ascertainment OF truth.
3. AS a question Of policy. The
presidents order In this case was 80
unprecedented, 10 radical. and SO

clusion that men whose attention had
been arrested by 1t should at once

When the spelling reformens got the powerful boost given them and their cause by the President of the United States they said "Ha! Ha! We are the people and our spelling is the spell ing" Now they don't know what to say, for it appears that the Presidents powerful boost had reaction in it, and the reformers and their cause now lleem to have fallen back farther and faster then they went up. It has been discovered that the President can't change the spelling of the country any more than he can change it's Constitu- tion. The House has unanimously re- solved that it is the sense of the House of Representatives that hereafter in printing reports, documents or other publications authorized by law, order- ed by congress or either branch there of, or emanating from the executive departments their bureaus or branch- es, and independent officers bf the gov- ernment the government printing of- flee should observe and adhere to the standard of orthography prescribed in generally accepted dictionaries of the English language.
 And the President has announced that he does not wish to have spelling overshadow matters of greater import ance. So 1t wont, and the agitation for reform" will have to begin agita- ting again from point quite as far back as it occupied at the time of the Presidents curious and reacuonary or der.

The dress consists of an armor of sheet metal from one-ffth to one-third of an inch thick, with joints and coupling points of pressed leather and rubber, and helmet with two cylindrical regenerating chambers at tached. The air circulated through the helmet has its oxygen continually re- newed by chemicals in these chambers, regulating valves keeping the pressure in the helmet constant at all depths. Mounting and descending are effected by cable carried on a drum driven by an electric motor, and. this cable also carries the current needed for the respiratory apparatus. The diver com municates with the surface by tele phone, while wires run from the armor to electric lights that show the working of the different parts of this complcat- ed dress.

THE ID EA |!

A district judge in Taunton, Massa- chusetts. has just decided that a de- fendant was not responsible for his wife's dressmaking bill, he having sup piled her with an allowance as large as he thought he could afford
 Well, girls, what do you think of that? AS large as he thought he could afford!" What has such think ing got to do with the case? Of course the allowance should have been as large as she thought he could afford, or as large as she wanted. We hope this case will be appealed, and that a bigger and a higher court will sit on it It is important enough to go to the Supreme court of the United States. It is evident that if Q married womans allowance" is going to be fixed by Q married man, and is going to be only as large as he thinks he can afford, it will mt be large enough in any case, and in most cases it will be absurdly small.

This looks all right at first sight, and may look the same at second or third sight. Tn the multitude of counsellors there is safety" says the Bible. The Bible does not say that too many cooks spoil the broth, but sometimes they do. Every mayor has an advisory council, composed of politicians, prominent cit izens and others. Whether a formal land official advisory council will do any better work than the informal and un- official one may be reasonably doubted. It may not leave the mayor so free to act with decision and judgment as he otherwise would be. There might be a man in such a council who would want to be the real mayor, and who might be entitled to be by his wisdom. He might irritate the mayor by being wise so that the mayor wouldn't follow his advice. And there might be a counsel Tor who would be foolish and yet be able to run the mayor.
 So it is not altogether certain that formal and official advisory council can help a mayor much. Perhaps mayor who is fit to be a mayor doesn't need any more counselling than he can all ways get from good citizens.

In his public address at Atlanta the other day Principal Booker Washing ton said it would be a great encourage ment to see the white clergy taking once more the active interest they did before emancipation in the negro's moral and spiritual welfare. He urged the negro preachers to have white preachers In their pulpits as often as possible.

Emperor William is of medium size, while his spouse is rather tall, and for this reason, it is said the emperor has never had his likeness taken with her except standing beside her, seated King Edward is several inches shorter than Queen Alexandra. The Czarina towers a head above the Czar. The King of Portugal, although tall, is still smaller than the Queen. The Prince of Wales is by ten centimetres smaller than the princess.
