The New York Mall uses something more than half column of editorial space to. defend Roosevelt's pet, Cor telyou, against what 1t calls "the rep- tilian attacks. made on him in the Senate. We are not surprised at the defence from that source. though the phrase used is not a correct one. The attacks on the political money-raiser are not "reptiIian.' but are open and bold. Neither is the opposition to him of partisan or sectional char acter. Democrats as we'll as others recognize the perfect right of the President to appoint wfomsoever he pleases to positions of honor and trust. but they do not admit his right to give the important position of Sec retary eof the Treasury to a man with badly smirched reputation. The Mail says: " Fnt +"'
 The attacks on Mir Cortelyou amount to no more than an assumption that any man who undertakes the direction of a party campaign thereby dlsquau- fies himself for public service. 50 Ions as we. have government by parties Americans will not subscribe 10 that contention They resent 1t most when public servant whose career IS an insniration to his country and a credit to his party and himself is made the text for 1t.
 That is rot. to speak plainly. It matters not what services Cortelyou may have rendered his party--that does not specially fit him for an inn portant cabinet position. He served his party not only well but profitably, both to 1t and himself and also to MT. Roosevelt. He was honored with a cabinet place because his services helped to elect his patron, and was honored without regard to the meth ods employed by him. Whether the opposition to him succeeds or fails 1t is just and proper. Whatever Roose- veit may see proper to do. the Senate is not compelled to confirm an unfit appointment.

Such a long period of warm weather not only in this section but all along the Atlantic Coast as far North as New York, is almost unprecedented. The Baltimore Sun says that the tempera- ture in that city few days ago was as high as "A, the highest known in January since the establishment of the Weather Bureau thirty-fve years ago. There was one hotter winter day there In that time, The Sun says. and that was in February, 1874, when the tenn perature was 7s. A few days ago the New York papers stated that girls were wearing bathing dresses on the beach at Atlantic City and were lolling in the sand under sunshades, just as if it were midsummer.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-01-17

From certain loose expressions by some of the papers and men "the people of Alabama are for the first time in history in possession of the reigns of government in this State." or words to that effect. This is an indictment direct of the heroism and patriotism of the men of 1874, who made such great contest in the face of Federal bayonets, and at great per sonal risk, to place the great tribune of the people, George s. Houston, in the Governors chair, and with him a Leg islature to clear the State of the monstrous laws that had been 'enac- tetd by carpet baggers and negroes. The. men of "A did not represent the people" if modern parlance is to be accepted as true. If they did not speak and act for the people then their actions were a fraud and farce. Such efforts to belittle the patriotism of the long line of distinguished Ala bamians who have ably and faithfully served the State will not meet with the endorsement of those who know something of the sacrifices of the men of the dark days. Such disregard of the truths of history will sooner or later stand exposed in its native de- l formity. People of intelligence and the people of Alabama are intelligent, are not going to accord all the honor and virtue to the powers that be of the present and rest contented under semi insults to the great and good men of the past.

The Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States do not re- sign and accept the provision made by law. for those who retire on a fixed salary for life. The Brooklyn Eagle says that from John Marshalrs time tfil now none has resigned. Fancy; Chase and Waite died in office. Mir

to enable the latter to name a Repub- iican to succeed him. The press can not know the sort of Democrat MT. Fuller is. It cannot know the force of the custom which makes the chief iusticeship an obligation for life. as well as an inviolable life honor. To be sure, MT. Chase was suspected of desiring the presidency. but he held the chief justiceship till he died. MT. Fuller regards his office as of equal rank with the President and as place of higher dignity because of longer service"

If the designs of the Republican caucus of the Kansas Legislature hold water the Senate of the United States will soon have it's first Indian, in the person of Charles Curtis. True, he is not really an Indian, being only a quarter blood of the Kaw nation, but even that is more Indian than the Senate has ever had in it. We sup pose there is little doubt that he will be elected as he is stated to be the choice of Roosevelt Taft and Can non, and also of the railroad and corporate interests in Kansas, and of the Republican legislative caucus. He and Yardaman and Tillman ought to make things lively in the Senate.

GOING BACKWARD.

Why is it that the French, as a nation, are so opposed to official rec ignition of the Deitya More than a century ago, when the French Revolu- ton had succeeded, when Liberty, Equality Fraternity" was the mouth filling phrase which captured the athe- istic and soeialistic masses, God was officially banished from the nation and the people, so far as was possible for man to do it. Later, when calm req son again found place and passion had subsided. the words God Protect France" were placed on the coins of the realm, thus giving official recog- hilton to the Supreme Being, just as the phrase "fn God we Trust on our silver coins typifes the feeling of rev. erence among our people.
 Now it Is announced that the French Minister of Finance has ordered that the inscription shall be removed from all coins of that country, thus ofi- cially refusing to recognize the pro- tectfng power of the Almighty. The act is reversion to the atheism that controlled the Revolutionists who dom- fnated French affairs during the reign of terror something more than cen- tury ago. If the act is to be taken as a recrudescence of the unreason- ing fury that brought out and -sus- tained the revolutionists 1t cannot be otherwise regarded than as -a back ward step not fiattering to the na- ton. Liberty, Equality. Fraternity" may please some elements of France, but to publicly officially and contemp- tuousiy attempt to deny the existence and power of God is not creditable proceeding for a nation and a people.
