EXPLANATORY.

We recently called the attention of The Albany Herald to a slight error 1t made by substituting one letter for another in copying from The Adver- tiser, reminding it that there was a difference. to which 1t responds:
 Yes, there is. but. as our Alabama contemporary no doubt knows, we can't always get things In print just as we want th em or as we write them, what "Roes in" In this ease he first made the President the Great Mes sSngeP." We corrected his proof and wrote mesa ger" but he Just wouldn't have it that way, and made 1t mas sagsr" When a country printer who has become q linotype operator once gets a crotchet in his head in either speiltng a word as to what writ ten word should be. 1t ts there for keaps unless a sledgehammer Is used.
 Alas. we know something about the eccentrIeitIes of the linotype. We might use a much harsher term in re- terriuR to some of it's alterations. but probably none of our own machines would set the language up and that w0ulQ leave uS up III tilS d'i AOa AScpo' Sometimes when the editor man thinks he has written something exceptional ly good the machine will entertain a different opinion and have It's own way. The substitution of one letter, or even of one word fer another is dead easy for linotypes. Oh, we know them, from start to finish and at times have been tempted to regret that such things were ever invented
 And yet the linotype was a great invention. and has added wonderfully to the journalistic art If the old method of setting type by hand had been faultness, and if the compositor had never made mistakes we might feel some regret at its disappearance, +but that vas not che case.

me esteemed Indianapolis Star is suffering from severe attack of dis gruntienent. or something equally as bad. Hear 1t rail against the inevit- able:
 Men the country over have risen as one man to protest against the ''mer- ry widow hat. Editors have railed against 1t, preachers have condemned it from the pulpit, paragaphers have their theme. husbands and fathers have lifted a despairing voice aganist it, not only when they observed the wonderful structures on. the head of covered that the bill was of propor- donate size. The male passenger on the street car Is indignant when he finds himself crowded out of a seat by church on Sunday morning feels his piety evaporating when a spreading hat ahead of him obscures the face of the preacher. Also the wrath of one not So pious is great when the same hat or its mate gets between him and the stage or causes him to duck and dodge for his life on the crowded thoroughfare.
 And yet our contemporary goes on to say that mot one of these protests has the smallest effect" That Is a fact we have realized and scquieseed in from the very advent of these gro- tesque creations of the milliner's ar- tistic ingenuity. All that The Star says may be strictly true. but what of itq The hats are the style and as long as the fad prevails the big hats will be worn, and there's an end of it. The enIy giean of consolation lies in the hope that the style won't last long.

'Tt is asked whether much of the Northern horror of Southern injustice towards the negro is not hypocrisy" rernarks The New Bedford Standard, and with eommendable candor it am swers its own question with, ''Very likely it Is." An honest confession is good for the soul. we are told. and The standard Is to be commended for its admission. Perhaps there Is more or less injustice towards the negro in the South. but aS q general thing North ern people have little right to cast stones in this direction.

 When Governors of forty-one States meet at Washington on Wednesday in conference with the President the America American history.

But that concep- ton of the assemblage will not be far wrong which makes 1t an embodied the drift of the times toward national centralization.
 There is a proposal to have the call ing of c House of Governors an an- ,nual affair. Whether or not this idea amounts to anything will depend on at this weeks meeting. Certainly there will not be talk year after year on the themes of forestry, soil feclana- ation. interstate power sources and navigation. Such issues as those of uniform divorce laws, general fight on consumption, more effective, extra diiton. processes and better quarantine provisions are already under consider ation.
 The Governors cannot. of course, make laws. They can n talk IS reason s s,lnd Snd of them to expect to find so common as in earlier years of the repubHe . hard and sharp ineistence on lines or State rights. They have to reckon not only with q centrafizing tendency; but with a considerable complaisance in popular feeling due to the extensive shifting of populations.

rREsIIDENr AND coNenrss,

The President seems to have arrived at the conclusion that continual fir ing of wordy messages into Congress has no effect. Some of them have been treated with downright contempt and most of the others have been ig- nored. so far as carrying out their requirements go. Now he has talk en to writing personal letters to promi- pent members. probably thinking he will get more respectful consideration that way. If there Is one thing that Roosevelt dreads ana abnors more than another it is the dread/that he may be even rnomentarily forgotten. Feeling that he is the one and great It of the government he is everlastinsly doing or saying something to get him self talked about. We can conceive of no greater punishment that could be inflicted on him than absolute quiet for even one year would be. With him 1t is notoriety or death.
 And yet 1t Is apparent that at least part of the Republican leaders in Con sress wish to keep on good terms with the President. doubtless having the pie counter in constant view. The dlspe- sitior of these members, as The New Bedford Standard sees it. ."is to enact with the utmost expeditions sfoup of measures which are intended to pacify the President. whether the measures are we'll disested and well drawn. whether they are constitutional.S are all considerations of subordinate. inn portance. Mr. Roosevelt. wants some thing done. and something must be done whether it is worth doing or not
 That is the attitude, and most de- piorable attitude. too. The President may be all right. the Congressmen may be all wrong: nevertheless, hasty law making. under the stress of any such pressure is, bound te be unsatisfae- tory and disappointing. Presidential dragooninS of Congressnien into aetion which they do not want to take. and, which they will not take, except sul- lenly,. can bring no lasting good to the country. The action is bound to be imperfect and to result in more evil than good. While the purpose of the moment. which is the provision of ammunition for a political eanapaisns may be achieved. it is altogether doubtful if the ammunition is worth having; and 1t is quite certain that the. ultimate outcome will not be for the good of the country" .. ,.. F
 The Standard is consistent Repub- lican newspaper. but the course of it's President. and of his packers in Con- sress is sometimes just q little more than 1t can stand. The idea of enact ing laws without. regard to their constitutionality or fitness .is. repug-. nant to an ideas of sensible. leeisla4. ton, but what can they .do? They have offended their President and now there's nothing left them but to pia- cate him. Perhaps they may even smooth his Fuffled self f-estsem by thus acting. -., ..t -.E.. e.

 The vote of New Jersey and conneeti- cut and possibly those of Delaware are about ali that can be set down as very determined in the opposition to Mir. Bryan. The others are very likely 10 develop a disposition to ride in the band wagon. As for New York, the delegation controlled by Murphy and Corners has no convictions and cannot be counted on for a stubborn light for any sort of principle. Mir.
