WHERE PRESIDENTS REST,
What to Do with Bodies of Chief
Executives Is a Question,

What to Do with Bodies of Chief
Executives Is "a Question.
The proposal Of the descendants Of
Andrew Johnson that the Federal GOV.
eminent should take his last resting
place as a national cemetery of the
fourth class suggests a new obligation
to our Presidents. What shall we do
with our ex-Presidents has long been
familiar topic of after-dinner discus
sion wherever any surviving members
Of the craft have gathered, says The
Boston Transcript. What to do with
the bodies Of our Presidents has not
before become national question Al
wholesome sentiment directs that thel
graves should not be neglected The
efforts which are expended abroad
upon memorials to distinguished rulers
notably the Albert memorial in London
the grave of Napoleon in Paris, The
Pantheon in Rome, to say nothing Of
the pyramids, contrast noticeably with
the democratic simplicity which has
allowed so many Of our Presidents To
lie in the country graveyards where
the fathers of the hamlet sleep"
Three stages are already apparent
in American practice regarding the last
resting places Of our Presidents. Sever
Of them lie in what was Originally pHI

estates, In accordance with the custom
Of their time. These are WashlngtM

The great advance which has been
made toward a realization of Cecil
Rhodes daring conception of the Cape

President Castro Of Venezuela has an
original way of doing things. He left
the capital in the spring, and an.
nounced that he had retired from the
presidency for a while. The vice pres
ident, one of his partisans, performed
some Of the functions OF the presi-
dency. In the middle of June Castro
let it be known that he would resume
his office on July 9Th. 1t would be
difficult to imagine the American Presi-
dent taking vacation and leaving the
Vice President to exercise his powers
even if the Constitution permitted such
a surrender Of duties.

1t Is said that some of the club
women of New York complain Of the
way in which the parks Of that city
are Uttered up by parties of children.
No doubt such complaints have been
made, for there are f1nicky women ev-
erywhere, but we doubt If the whole
burden Of the attempt to block the
childish fun should be laid at the door
OF the clubwomen, who are often the
objects of unjust criticism. We should
rather suspect that the idea originated
with those denatured women, whether
members Of clubs or not, who sport
dogs instead Of children.

''reformers" of his type. Doubtless
there was room for improvement in
the politics of Wisconsin before La

pires that there is less room for the
radicalism of La Toilette, who for sew
eral years has made q great noise in

Bryan, he has made money out of it.

power always won the election.
Specifically at the last Cuban election
the moderates under the leadership of
President Palma were maintained in
Office. The liberals claimed that the
government machinery had been used
to intimidate the voters and thwart
their will. They claimed that under
these conditions it was impossible to
secure the rights of the people except
by overthrowing the present govern
ment by force of arms. This is what
the revolutionists are endeavoring to
do.
The Plat amendment provides that
this country may intervene for the
maintenance of government adequate
for the protection of life, property and
individual liberty" 1t leaves the mat
ter of what shall constitute a condition
necessary for Intervention to the gov
eminent of the United States. But it
is evident that this government never
intended to guarantee the keeping in
Office of any man.
Even if the revolution should sue
coed it would only be necessary for
this government to inquire whether
or not the one which the revolution
lists would set up instead of the one
now in existance would be able to give
adequate protection to life, property
and individual liberty"
1t would seem that the right thing
would have been to have agreed to
maintain government Of the qualifi-
cations indicated according to the
Cuban constitution. But that would
have operated as a sort of protectorate
in principle if not in fact, and that was
exactly what this country desired to
avoid.
Securing political party success by
force of arms was condition which
probably was not considered when the
matter was before congress. At any
rate so long as government. whether
de jure or de facto, capable of main
tanning the stability of internal affairs
required by the Plat amendment is in
existence, this government will hard
ly question the methods by which it
was brought into existance.
