a CURE FOR PEssIMIsM.

Every pessimist who has a notion this
country is going into decay ought to
nave seen the exercises in the pubIic
schools yesterday. The bright faces Of
the youngsters, the alert Intelligence of
teachers and pupils alike. the high
ideals set forth in the little speeches
and exercises. and ABOVE all the fine
average Of real moral strength visible
everywhere, proved amply the firm grin
the public schools have on their main
ousiness-the upbuiIding of character
Remembering that the basis of ma
tional life is laid in the schools: that
here, L ever, the man and woman Of
the future, learn their duty to their
kind and TO themselves, the children Of
yesterday give promise of being good
citizens, Of making a better national
life. Of steering straight through the
narrows of temptation on to the goal
of achievement and right living.
In the midst Of such exposures and
revelations of civic unwOrthiness as
have astonished the country during the
past year. one is apt to conceive the
gun the downward path TO national ruin
along which Rome and Athens Travelled:
but no one can see intimately the work
of the schools and know the children
and their teachers without being as
sured that ais well with our world
Some there be among the youth of
today who will falter and fail and be-
tray trusts as humans have done in all
time; but the devotion Of the teaching
staff. the examples they set, the in
stTuction they give find a constant re
Spouse and reward In the lives they
send forth and the school rooms and
most Of their wards will prove worthy
in after years The closing week of the
year is worth all the trouble il costs
because it brings the parents into
better knowledge Of what is being done
for the younger generation, and gives
them a glimpse Of the patriotism that
is none the less genuine because it is
an unobstrusive. seIf-sacrifcing daily
routine.

MICHAEL DAVITT.

Michael Davitt who has just closed
his career, lived a life that makes most
fiction pale before its record. He was
born in March, sixty years ago When
only six years Of age he learned what
eviction meant by practical experience
in his own family. At ten he began
work in a Lancashire cOttOnmlH and
year later lost his arm in the ma
chinery. Then he. became a newsboy
and printers devil and later assistant
mail carrier
In 1865 he joined the. FeHian Brother
hood and in 1870 was arrested, tried and
convicted of tTeason-felOny and sen
fenced to fifteen years at penal servi-
tude. After seven years Of imprison-
ment he was released on ticket-of-Ieave
and in 1879 joined PaneI in the organ
ization of the Land League. The same
year he was arrested for making a sedi-
tious speech but the prosecution was
abandoned. In 1881 he organized the
American auxiliary of the Land League
and on his return was sent back to
penal seTvitUde but was released after
a brief term. In 1888 he was again ar
rested for a seditious speech and SEN
fenced for three months He was in
Guided in the famous "ParnelIism and
Crime" allegations Of the London Times
and made a famous defense before the
Times commission which resulted in
the triumphant vindication Of the men
accused. While still in Portland prison
he was elected to parliament and dis
qualified by special vote Of the House;
was member for Meath in 1892. unseat-
ed and returned for Cork; resigned in
1898. returned in 1895; resigned 1899.
Since that time he had Travelled widely
and written illuminating literature on
his special subjects.
OF the indomitabIe type that thrives
on opposition, Davitt could not be sub
dued nor his spirit broken. In all civil
ization there is no more rigorous disci-
pine than he suffered in penal servi-
tude yet he came out Of his confinement
fighting as though he had never known
defeat. He had dedicated himself to
the Irish cause and he lived to see the
British government adopt in a large
measure the object Of the Land League
in its partition Of the great estates by
purchase and their return to the ten

ants and peasantry upon whom their
value depended.
Where some might have given up
their cause as lost, Davitt only fought
the harder To his last day he was a
demonstration of the fact that native
force, character, counts for more than
tactitiOus circumstance or accident OF
birth He came from the ranks Of the
lowly; in real power he rose to the
heights Of a crusader. single-minded,
unselfsh, devoted TO a principle. Al
though he did not achieve, or see
achieved. all he hoped for, his measure
of success was great enough to Justify
the hope that inspired him.

ABUSE OF EXECUTIVE POWER.

ABUSE OF EXECUTIVE POWER.
Congress has uncovered in the de-
partment Of agriculture another cur
iOus, though not pleasant, instance. of
executive disregard for the law, a con-
tempt for congressional restraint of de-
partment expenditure which has had
no parallel in Washington for years
Congress appropriated 81 SOC, 900 for Il
new building which was to be occupied
by this department. The act required
the construction of new building and
the demolition of the old one still used
by the department Did the president
and secretary pay any attention either
to the spirit or letter of the law?
The hearing of the committee devel-
oped the fact that the entire appro-
priatiOn had been used up in the con-
stTuctiOn Of two wings only, and the de-
partment intends to occupy the old
building until congress makes another
appropriation Of two millions or so to
finish up the gap between the wings.
When inquiry was made as to how all
this happened, the secretary of agricul-
ture calmly replied that the arrange
ments had been made lat the White
House" which is the modern autocra-
tic way of saying Roosevelt is respon-
sible. Which might have been ex-
pected.
Now the department may have need
ed more money than congress gave il.
though 81, 500, 900 ought to provide quite
a tidy little building for real business
purposes. But the department is sup
posed TO obey the law: the president
of the United States ought to obey the
law. II he needed more money the way
was open to ask for it Not having il,
he had no business to spend the money
in defiance of congressional directions
any more than postmaster has a right
to spend his appropriation in defiance
of federal law.
There is no possible bubble by which
the evasion, TO speak mildly, can be
/ defended It's evident purpose was to
compel a larger appropria ton and to
do this, the president and his secre-
tary have violated a federal statute, q
thing which would be followed by pro-
secution if a minor official did it. This
instance is only another Illustration of
the presidential system of ignoring the
/ legislative branch Of the government
and assuming the right to go beyond
congressional and constitutional Iimita-
tons
If Democratic president had assum-
ed the ultra-constitutionaI powers
which Roosevelt has taken to himself,
the whole Republican party would be
clamoring for his impeachment; as it
is, the Republicans. particularly in the
House. cringe and fawn and apologize
and pass any measure Roosevelt asks
for. They condone his abuses of author
ity and excuse his ignorant seizure OF
legislative prerogative.
The money involved in this latest in
stance of executive encroachment is
small compared with the precedent it
establishes. If il is right for the presi-
dent to spend government funds as he
pIeaSes in spite of the law, it is right for
a department clerk, or a postmaster or
an army Quartermaster. The only right
any federal official has exists by law,
any exercise of power beyond the law
is wrong. whether it is chargeable to
the president or the cheapest janitor in
the smallest federal building in the
country.

INSURANCE MEN LOSE
MRS. MARY LOEHR GETS FULL YER
DICT ON POLICY.

FOND DU LAC, Wis, May g.
Especial. Mrs. Mary Loehr was given
full verdict by a jury in the circuit
court in her case against the Equitable
Fraternal union for payment on the pol
icy of her husband.
Mrs Loehr sued the organization for
S14O4, the amount which she claimed
was due because of her husbands death.
The testimony showed that Loehr took
out a policy for $1,000 in September,
1904. and at his death there was due
$1404.
The contention made by the attorneys
for the defense that payment should not
be made because Loehr was afflicted
with rheumatism and misrepresented his
condition to the insurance company's ex-
aminers was met with a statement that
the examining physician knew Loehr's
condition, b.t had not made out the
application correctly.
The Equitable Fraternal union will
appeal the case.
