Mercy and Justice.

 rIt Is all right to temper mercy with juStice," remarks The ChattanooKa Times. You get the cart before the horse. Temper justice with mercy was what Milton wrote.-Montgomery
 No: we did not get the cart before the horse nor were we quoting what Milton said. We were simply endeav- bring to convince people that Milton wasn't on to the ways of the pardon attorneys. and the maudlin sympathiz- CTS with criminals. who so often quote the great poets sentiment with so dan gerous effect. We meant exactly what we said that in this day and portous time mercy ought, at least be tenn pered with justice Besides Milton didn't write it as you say. at all, aince you are disposed to be so persnickity what he did say was '"Yet I shall tenn per so justice with mercy" In but ting in to call your fellow man down. always be sure that you aren't wrong yourself At any rate we are sure that. our Montgomery contemporary will agree with us that in these days, when so many men seem to have lost their respect for human life, if would not be a bad thing if our highly sensi tive Governors would once in a way temper their effusiFe mercy with a trine of stern justice.

The question of motive pow CT is. an essential one in the construc- ton of nyinx mschinss. They cannot depend on the wind. for that does not always blow in the right direction nor with the proper force Machinery driven by fuel is expensive and adds unnecessary weight to the machine. Electric motors operated by storage batteries have their disadvantages and faiiings. and so it is with all the meth. ods now in use of driving the ma- chimes.
 The suggestion of MT. Alexander of- fers a possible solution for the difii- culty. When methods are perfected by which the navigator can procure and use the electric power with which the air about him is filled. just as we use the air for breathing. one highly important problem of flying will be solved. What others may come up We cannot say. but the accomplish ment of this means of securing motive power will certainly be a long step to- wards successful navigation of the air. With this result assured. whether in
 i've years or fifty. the predictions of Edison may come true, and polar trips and earth-encircIing expeditions may become quite common. All the same. we shall not be disappointed if these triumphs are delayed more than five years.

 There is evidently eonsidsrabie sx. aggeratiou in the European conception of the United States as land of uni- versai hurry and hustle. NO one can glance at MT. Roosevelt's message to. Congress, some extracts from which we publish today, without feeling efl ; vfous of the immense leisure and re- pose. which alone can enable the American people to digest a document 80 voluminous, For ii is, of course. understood that though addressed to Congress, the Presidential message is, intended to be read by all good eitls zens throughout the Union. No Eus. ropean ruler would venture to address, such an allccution by his subjects.

The assured election of Congress. man Theodore Burton to be the ;suc- cessor of Senator Foraker., is a dis tinct triumph for better politics in Ohio. He has, been one of the most useful men in public life for dozen years or more. and is fully equal to the position to which he will be elect ed in a few days. This election will
 be clean slap in the face of the ma chine Republican elements of his State. As The. New York Evening Post well says Judge Taft's brother
 is no better. though much richer. than
 Foraker. and is not to be named. in
 point of real equipment. with Con- gressman Burton. The election of Burton. like that of James A. Garfield. would mean it promotion after long and able service. To award the Sen
 atorship to c. P. Taft would be tri-
 umph at once for machine politics and for money above character and brains"

 To those who have been at all in touch with the railway situation 1t Is not surprising that the record of new main track laid during the year just closing should show a substantial decrease. the surprising thing Is the amount of mileage built. In 1907, Ac- coFding to the best obtainable statis- ties. gathered from all the railway companies In the United States, ap- proximately 5.212 miles of new main track were laid, while a similar record for 1908 shows S.214 miles. .. decrease of :t!e9S rntles9of 43g.s pers oAgtt.,.s lTh he 1908 record is the smallest 'etuce 1904,

Gala Day for Clerks Would Be An En-.
joyabIe Invent, and Picnic Could Be
Held at Home-Prosram Of Events
Would Attract Nice Prizes and A..
ford Good Sport.

inquiry among the retail grocers OF
lhe CITY develops the information that
the annual picnic, held during the sum-
mer for several years past has been
abandoned this year, principally be-
cause OF the fact that the retail groc-
ers' association is now practically ex-
tlnct. The inquiry also develops that
many OF the grocers are in for a pic
mic and would like to have an outing
of some kind, even tho 1t be a home
affair.
The suggestion presents itself why
would it not be a nice idea for the
merchants of the city irrespective of
line, to work up picnic for them
selves and clerks. and have a DAYS
outing either at Riverview or the fair
grounds? Such an outing would give
the clerks a day off during the heated
term, and an affair we'll planned could
not help but prove enjoyable all
around.
The merchants could work up a nice
prize list. and a program of events
would result in some good. clean sport.
The grocers' picnics We're always we'll
patronized away from home, and there
Is no reason why a general picnic, for
the merchants and their clerks, would
not attract attention at home. The
Erocers themselves could command a
fine list Of prizes from wholesalers and
jobbers, and the dealers in other lines
al I1 IL
their lines to put up some of the prizes.
Only bonafide dealers and their clerks
would compete for the prizes. altho the
public in general would participate in
the sport. The suggestion might be
worth considering by merchants and
clerks. and Labor Day If it would not
be agreeable for an extra holiday in
the meantime, could be utilized as a
big picnic day for the retailers of the
city and their clerking forces.
