DIR. Eliot and Mr.. Reid.

IL DIR. Eliot shall adhere 10 his pres
ent resolution respecting the ambas-
sadorship to Great Britain there will be
some sympathy with his point of view.
He has earned. after many years of faith
full and distinguished services. such a
rest as he could not hope 10 know in a
post of SO much responsibility and Inn
portance. The American representative
in London finds employment for all of
his time. Both his business and his So
cial engagements are exacting. and draw
heavily upon his physical upon his
mental strength.
On the other hand If DR.. Eliot decides
in the end to accept the place, all that
has been said in his praise will stand
The country will enjoy in its most con-
spicuous embassy the services of a man
widely known. and. wherever KNOWN

acter and scholarship. lie will be well
coined by the best of England. and in
crease the respect felt there for the best
of America.
II is stated that Whitelaw Reid will re-
main in commission for at least six
months, and maybe a year. If DIR. Eliot
declines. why disturb him at all? Has
he not made us able and efficient rep
resentative? Does he not enjoy. and has
he not earned, the respect of the people
to whom he is accredited? He has car
ried himself throughout his four years in
London SO as to command the attention
and secure the good will of representative
Englishmen. from the sovereign down.
His public addresses-the English will
make orators out of everybody We send
them-have pleased the most cultivated
audiences. and his house has been the
resort of men of rank and power in both
the political and the literary world
Mr.. Reid could not hope to escape de-
traction at home. His very eminence and
success have made him a mark for at
tack. His domestic expenditures have
been condemned as too lavish-although
the figures are unknown to his critics
while the attentions he has received from
King Edward have been described as at
the expense of his personal dignity.

The Presidents Salary.
From the japan Mail.

The House Of Representatives. accord
ing to a telegram from the Nichi Nichi
Shimbuns New York correspondent. has
refused to indorse the Senate's proposal
for doubling the salary of the President
The present amount is 100000 yen, and
the Senate voted for doubling 1t, but
the House of Representatives has decided
to increase by only 80 per cent namely
to 10000 yen. The representatives are
quoted as saying that a salary of 10000
should amply suffice to maintain the
dignity of the presidential position. From
an English point of view the Americans
cannot be accused of excessive generos-
ity in this matter. The chief magistrate
of the great republic has hitherto been
receiving one-fifth of the salary paid to
the Viceroy of India.

Barring Out Opium.

Prom the Chicago Record Herald
law passed by Congress during the
winter session prohibits the importation
OF opium into this country except for
medicinal purposes. and the Secretary OF
the Treasury has issued regulations In
which 1t Is declared that the term opium
shall cover all forms of the drug. This is
convincing evidence that the United
States government sees danger in the
possible spread of it's habitual use in any
Of it's forms, and the dispatches say In
particular that smoking opium will be
seized and destroyed as an illegal impor-
tation.

Police officials are still considering the
advisability of taking more active meas

and chauffeurs who are causing so much
complaint
1t is clearly to the interest of the au-
tomobile industry and of auto owners in
general that madcaps who run machines
should be sternly restrained.

Paradoxical.
Way off yonder

Way off yonder
In European lands
The people smile and ponder
On monarchs shaking hands.
Yet with sad surprise we're learning
That a king an order slips
To the foundry on returning:
Hurry on those battleships."
Way off yonder
While the peace dove is extolled,
With spurs they bid him wander
Like a fighting rooster bold;
In spite of protestations
And all sorts of friendly trips
You hear the call Of nations,
Hurry on those battleships."

News comes to this Office that a
certain web-fOoted negro "doctah,"
who is so black that piece of char
coal would make a white mark on
his face, was arrested in this city a
few days ago for speeding" When
arraigned in court the next morning
he gave as his excuse that he was
going to "delivah a white lady in a
case of confinement. He stated that
he had been detained at a railroad
crossing about ten minutes and that
he feared he would not get to the
home of his prospective patient in
time.
Precisely this, the big liver-lipped
professional coon was afraid that he
wouldn't have the delightful oppor-
tunity to wait on a white woman
while she was laboring in the throes
of her first born.

corning the case of obstetrics, and
