.predicament If we employed opium-eaters
and catered 10 their vile and degrading
practices.
President Roosevelt was convinced of
the necessity of employing Chinese, and
in his Panama message stated that he
had arranged to try several thousand
coolies, with view to supplying immedi-
ately an efficient force of laborers. There
IS. OF course. no question about the effi-
cheney OF the Chinese laborer: nor is
there much doubt that as between the
failure Of the canal project and the en-
pioyment Of Chinese we would be COM
PEELED TO choose the latter alternative
The President appears TO have been
moved by these ideratlons-considera
tons Of broad public policy. ignoring the
moral factors involved. But we have no
doubt that the moral dangers of Chinese
labor appeal as strongly to the President
as to any one. and we have no doubt.
either, that he would be pleased to find IL
possible TO dispense with that sort of
labor in canal construction. The employ
ment Of Chinese in any numbers should
be avoided, if practicable. and the assur-
ance Of Senator Flint and his colleagues
that the apparent necessity for importing
coolies mas disappeared will undoubtedly
have weight with Congress when that
body takes up the matter Of labor supply

Presidential Power.

Senator Daniel. who upholds the power
Of the President to dismiss an enlisted
man from the army without trial, quoted
the other day from an opinion rendered
sixty years ago by Attorney General Lee
care, sustaining the right of the EXecu-
tive TO strike the name of an officer from
the rolls. In that decision Mr.. Legarc
declared that the power to dismiss an
officer was IAN absolute and tremendous
power incidental to the Executive of the
government, who is only responsible TO
the country for a breach Of a solemn
trust"
To upheld this power, Senator Daniel
remarked. IS not to favor autocratic or
tyrannicaI government, but to support
the exercise by the President Of his OBJ
vious constitutional privilege It is not
friendship for autocracy. but simply
friendship for government
The President exercises absolute and
tremendous power, not only as Command
er-in-chief Of the army and navy, but
also as the Civil Magistrate of a mighty
federated republic of 100000 people. For
his use or abuse of this power he IS re-
sponsible only to the country and punish
able only by impeachment.
These plain facts seem to have been
overlooked by critics of the Presidential
Office who see therein the development of
monarChical power. If the President ex-
ercises a sway Tivaling that Of heredi-
tary rulers, he does so by virtue of the
Constitution and the laws, and, we may
add, by virtue Of the quadrennial man
date Of the American electorate.

The Passing Of the Comic.

A Wichita CKans.l paper quotes out
cault, the best known Of all the con-
tri5utors to the so-calIed comic supple
ments" accompanying so many Of the
Sunday editions Of the larger dailies, as
follows:
The comic section is only a thing Of recent
years with the newspapers. It's origin was not more
than twelve years ago. and In another five years

thing Of the past Il is a fad which VIII live for
only short time. That is one thing that viii

business is being played up to the point where one
third Of the pictures you see are not real comic
pictures. Il is becoming entirely too common. and
when people come % see so much Of work that is
not comic at all, or that does not cause laugh

Mr.. Outcault speaks an evident truth.
He only does il more mildly than the real
situation justifes. Not only are "one-
third of the pictures alleged to be funny

other two-thirds as we'll Far from being

not absolutely true, Of course, OF Mr.
Outcault's workout his work is the one
and lone exception that tends 20 vary the
rule, even ever so slightly. The space and

Of the alleged comic" supplements might
be very much better expended in other
legitimate directions

An Income Tax PronosaI.

The widespread discussion during recent
years Of the income tax. as well as the
adverse decision of the Supreme Court on
its validity when imposed by the Federal
government has turned the attention Of
State legislatures toward this form of
taxation. It is a source of revenue as
Vet scarcely touched in this country. and
the many untaxabIe forms Of property
which nowadays yield an income cannot
fail TO suggest that the burdens of State
or local taxation are unevenly distrib-
Uted when they fall wholly upon land
We are likely 70 hear more and more Of
income tax proposals in State legislatures
especially If the State of New York
should adopt the recommendation Of the
State tax commission just made public
This commission proposes the abolition
Of the personal property tax and the levy
Of an income tax of 1 per cent on all
incomes OF more than $500 annually, and
up 20 $1,000. On incomes above that
amount it is proposed to levy a progress
sive tax. which Will be ? per cent on
incomes up TO $4,000. 5 per cent on in

those of Gov. Davidson, Of Wisconsin.

Our delightful old friend the Demo-
cratic party is displaying its usual dis
satisfaction with itself 1t grows in grace
with the years. The reason is that it is
never satisfied with its makeup. and is
constantly striving to better itself. IL
is as old as the government Of the United
States; and may it live until the crack Of
doom, It is old only in years. only as
men count time. It's youth is perpetual
If it were not, the Democratic party
would stop quarreling with itself. Old
age is sometimes garrulous and grumpy,
but it never is keen and eager for a fight
That ungovernable disposition belongs to
youth.
The Democratic party fights the enemy
when The time comes around TO do So
which in its youthful philosophy is only
about once every four years. For the
rest of the time the party fights with
itself. II the party We're constituted diff
ferenty, this country would be contin-
uously embroiled in partisan strife. Owing
TO the congenitaI predisposition OF the
Democracy, the nation is saved from this.
and between campaigns it is amused by
the Democracy's internecine strife
Just now the only thing the party has
to night itself about is the minority lead
ership of the next House Of Representa-
tives. one of the multitude Of uttrac-
tons Of the Democratic party is that
nearly every member of it is a leader.
II will and can never be acephaIous. IN
this regard the Hydra cannot be placed
in the same class with the Democratic
party
Wherefore, We are looking for an en-
tertaining performance on the part Of
the Democratic party from now until the
Sixtleth Congress ASSEMBLIES and the
House minority settles its tight over its
leadership. The spectacle will be graft
flying 10 the standpatters everywhere.
and II Will create excitement in the dun

Chinese on the Canal


That is good news which Senator Flint
and the other members OF the self-con-
stituted Congressional committee hiring
from Panama, TO the effect that Chinese
labor will not be required To construct
the canal. We hope Ii is true that sufl-
Gent European labor Of good quality can
be obtained to make up the necessary
number Of laborers, taken together with
the West Indian blacks now on the
lsthmus. The prospect of employing thou
sands Of Chinese coolies was not a Meas
ant one 10 contemplate from more than
one aspect. Our Pacific Coast friends
naturally feared that many Of the i'm
ported Chinese would surreptitiouslv find
their way into the United States but
there are moral considerations thar
should not be overlooked IN any enter
prise in which the United States engages.
The experience of the British govern
ment In permitting the importation OF
Chinese 10 work in the South African
mines contains an impressive lesson. II
was found impossible TO couutenaoce the
fearful moral conditions which arose in
the Chinese compounds. and the use Of
CooHe laoor IN the mines has been aban-
doned- II We employed Chinese at Pan
anna. II would be difficult TO avoid the
scandal which attended their use in South
Africa. though We have no doubt every
precaution 10 that end would be taken by
