edly would have succecucl hiu as
president had he not become such a
chronic intriguer that he was disrrcd-
tied before the country. Burr's dc'p-
Lotions broke the stepping stone into
flinders. Only once since then has
the vice presidency been a booster to
the presidency, Martin Van Eurcn
was pulled up TO the higher pedestal
by Andrew Jackson when the latter
stepped down.
With the single exception Of Van
Burens case the vice presidency has
been since Aaron Burr's time an orna-
mental tomb for the political inter-
ment Of men who otherwise might
have remained presidential possible
ties. There might have been carved
at the entrance to the office, "All hope
of the presidency abandon. We who
enter here" OF course vice presidents
have succeeded to the higher office by
the death of the president. but no
man since MARTY Van" has served
out a vice presidential term and after
ward stood in the glare Of the presi-
dental spot light. Why? Well the
point is interesting.
Theodore Roosevelt. to be sure. was
elected president after having been
vice president. But he was president
Of the United States when elected to
that office. Had he not succeeded
Mckinley at the latter's assassination
would, he have been elected president
in 1904? The chances, judging from
history and experience, are decidedly
negative.
The late John j Ingalls, when elect

two functions-to preside over the
senate and to wait for the president

Five times in our history presidents
have died and vice presidents have sue

created 10y the automatic working OF
the constitution were in the order
named-John Tyler, Willard Fillmore.
Andrew Johnson, Chester Alan Arthur
ana Theodore Roosevelt 1t is interest
Ing to observe that each of these Dresi-
dents served nearly the entire term for
which the deceased president was
elected. Tyler served three years and
eleven months of William Henry Har-
rl%ons term. Fillmore served all but
sixteen months of Zachary Taylor's
tour years. johnson became president
less than six weeks after he became
wee president. Arthur and Roosevelt
each stepped higher up six months
after accession to the vice presidency

TWELVE CADETS SUSPENDED,
Disciplined by Faculty of Porter
Academy-Will Probably Be
Expelled.

Charleston, April l0.-.-Twclvr cad
cts OF the Porter Military academy
were suspended today by thc faculty
Tor dama"ln~ property, interfering
with discipline and aiding and abat-
tin" the same. They will in all pro-
bahility be expelled by The board Of
trustees.
All of the cadets suspended are un-
dcrclaSSmen. members Of The second,
| third and fourth classes. Their names
are withheld from publication by the
Rev. II. J. Mikell. rector Of the acad-
envy. For the past few days the
boys disciplined have been smashing
windows Of the academy buildinsg and
otherwise conductin" themselves in
an impropcr manner, so that the ac-
tion of the faculty today was brought
| about from an exhaustion of patience.
II is understood that the cadets
| suspended are friends of the first
classmcn recently expelled, and were
| melted by Il spirit Of resentment
| against th1 authorities of the school
TO such an extent that they could not
behave themselves longer. but had TO
| LET out their anger in damaging the
property of the school.
1t is possible that the recent trouble
ai Clemson has melted the Younger
cadets Of the Porter academy to make
a bid for publicity by conducting
| themselves in the way they have done
At any rate, the action of the faculty
today in suspenling - Of the Porter
cadets was brought about only by the
grave necessity Of rescrving the dis
cipline Of the school through prompt
action. and it is now thought that
most Of the unruly element Of the in
stitution has been disposed Of and
that there will be no further trouble
from the behavior or the cadets.
Most Of the - suspended inGcfi-
nitely were among The lcsertcrs who
left in the recent trouble. but were TAX
on back. There seemed to be a we'll
planned action among them to make
trouble. probably with the hope of be
ing sent nome and their hope has been
fully realized.
Tuesday night the most open break
was made by the cadets concerned in
this trouble. They smashed several
window glasses in the dormitorics. Gu.
! the lights off by servering the light
vines and raised bi" rucus in the
do.mitories, thereby disturbing seri-
ously the order of the school.
~ very determined stand has been
taken by the faculty 70 maintain the
discipline of the school. and this will
be done at any cost. Today the re-
manning cadets are apparently con-
vincc'l that good behavior is The best
policy and have given no trouble.
Those suspended left the academy
grounds with their belon"in" and will
probably remain away indefinitely.
