THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.
Reasons for Increasing II Are Main
ly Social.

Elpll ne NcW 6Th tTrIrE
Il has been generally recognized for
some time that the Presidents salary is
inadequate. Undoubtedly It suficed years
ago, when living in Washington was less
expensive and the incidental demands on
the purse OF the occupant Of the White
House were far less numerous. In his
second term. Mr. Cleveland lived IN a
state Of modest isolation He Travelled
little and did little entertaining. Social
precedents then required only a few for
nal hOspitalities- But the country has
grown. Washington has become 3 larger
and more important capital and the reIa-
tiOns Of the President TO the world about
him have changed In such way az %
compel him 70 spend a great deal more
money in social intercourse Of an official
and Semi-Oficiai character
There are probably ten guests enter
tained at the White House now 10 one
IN the DAYS Of President Harrison or
President Cleveland Many more dis
tinguished foreigners now visit Washing
ton, and the President sees socially a
much larger number OF HIS fellow citizens
He must also travel more. and Congress
recognized the inadeQUacy Of his salary
TO meet proper travelling expenses when
It recently appropriated $25.00o a year to
be drawn on as a travel fund. Il is now
proposed 10 repeal the travel fund law
and 10 allow the Chief Executive 10000
year. This change IS, in our opinion
highly desirable. since IL allows q greater
latitude 10 the President and viii re-
heve him. II he Is a man in moderate
circumstances from any anxiety as 10
this future. We DO not pension our ex-
Presidents Yet We expect them 20 main
tain a dignifed status fn retirement and
DO not Ike 20 see them reduced 10 the
necessity of returning 10 the hustle of
commercial or professional life 1t is
only fair 10 give a President a salary
which viii enable him not only 20 live in
entire ease and comfort during his term
OF Office. but 10 save enough money. II
need be, 10 make him independent after
his return 70 private life. Considering
the magnitude Of his responsibilities and
labOrs and the dignity Of his trust. Sl00.-
GOO a year would be by no means an ex-
ceSsive salary.

Cabinet Material in the South.

The Southern papers are having some
thing 10 say nowadays about recognition
Of that section in Mr. Tsft's Cabinet, but,
strangely enough. they seem inclined TO
treat the proposition in a general rather
than specific manner. They advocate
the principle Of the thing as sound-and
u that We agree-but they refrain frem
making a recommendation.
The Southern press. largely Democratic.
hesitates naturally 10 indicate = prefer
ence to Mr.. Taft as 10 individuals. Now
that Judge Taft is in Augusta. why not
suggest Col D. B. Dyer. OF that city. as
an available man for a Cabinet portfolio?
Col Dyer IS one Of the most Ievel-headed
business men Of the South-a gentleman
Of broad understanding. large means.
sterling patriotism, and OF unquestoned
ability He is. moreover. an uncompro-
missing Republican Of long standing; has
always been a stalwart Of the stalwarts.
He has Identified himself successfully
with Southern enterprise. and would
measure up 10 the standard required
without question.
The President-elect is right on the
spot where he can look into the candi-
dates qualifications for himself, and act
with his eyes open We should Ike 10
see the South represented in the Cabinet.
What does the Southern press say 10 D.
B Dyer. OF Augusta, now, since we have

Good for TenneSSee.

The outcome Of the night riders trial
down IN the Reelfoot Lake region OF Ten
nessee IS OF a nature emitting the cid
Volunteer State 10 the most cordial and
earnest congratulations. The situation
was very grave; it reflected da-kly On the
States reputation for abiding the laws Of
the country: It reeked Of anarchy. bloody
vengeance, and unrestrained passion and
prejudice.
Full credit Is due. and should be IN
stintedly accorded, Gov. Patterson for the
vigorous way in which he first took hold
Of the distressing conditions and started
the legal machinery unreIeuungIy and in
personally TO work. bringing the Grim
inals involved 10 justice. Judge Jones. the
presiding magistrate. took the matter in
hand where the governor necessarily
rested It temporarily. and carried It for
ward 70 a splendid conclusion. Indeed. he
seems 10 have been the exact man Tor
the work in hand. and his frmness and
unfinching exercise Of his authority. in
the face Of the unusual and probably ex-
tremely dangerous crisis confronting him.
but emphasizes his fitness. True. the
jury did attempt 10 temper the judicial
wind somewhat by finding the six more
culpable night riders" guilty under uaiti-
eating circumstances. but as the accept
ance Of that suggestion in mitigation Of
sentence was purely optional with the
judge, he very promptly and righteously.
We think. ignored II. and prescribed the
extreme penalty Of the law in such cases
provided.
In commenting on the matter, Gov Pat
terson SAYS:
The result Is a splendid vindicatior q the law.

Senator TiIlman's explanation Of his
Western land transactions closely re-
sembles what the lawyers call a plea Of
confession and avoidance. He admits
the truth OF the principal matters set
forth in Mr., RooseveIt's letter to Senator
Hale His own verdict IS that he was
disingenUOus in stating to the Senate that
he had no personal interest in the lands
that were the subject OF his resolution
directing the Attorney General to bring
suit for their recovery from wrongful
owners Certainly nothing worse than
indiscretiOn and Improperly appears

Ished is a dangerous admission-one that
comes near demolishing the whole fabric
of his attempted vindication- Il there

tors conduct. it was precisely that which
he seems 10 think was an entirely proper
perfornlance-namely. the procurement Of
Official action that would have been OF
personal advantage
After all, Senator TIlman's surest de-
fense rests upon an honorable public
