 One of President Grants first selections for office was that of General Longstreet, the Confederate leader and democrat, to be collector of the port at New Orleans, and he was given other federal offices by Hayes and Garfield. Grant made Amos T. Alderman of Georgia, also an ex-Con- federate and a democrat, attorney-gen- eral Hayes appointed Mosby, the Con- federate raider, to office, and he made David M Key, another Confederate and democrat, postmaster general. Hayes also removed the federal troops from Louis jana and South Carolina, and this resulted ir the overthrow of the carpetbag gov ernments there. and the restoration of the democrats to power In Arthur's time all mention of the south in presidential mes sages as distinct section was dropped Harrison and Mckinley also held out the olive branch to the south in the shape oi

Pres ident Taft will undoubtedly refrain from making the latter mistake. As he stated in his inaugural and as he has show n by word and act since then, he will as far as possible, consult the feelings of the immediate community in the selection of all federal office holders in the southern states. This is excellent policy. It will probably win republican votes ultimately. But whether 1t has this effect or not, it will give the south a new interest in the government. and will bring an era of good feeling betyeen the sections

 story is told of Quanah Parker, one of the old Comanche chiefs. Parker had been extremely valuable in bringing the Comanches into friendly relations with the whites. He found himself getting on in years, but without any property, and his white neghbors thought 1t would be a good idea to collect money to build him a house. They did this, and when the house was ready they told him and he went to see it.
 There is no furniture here" he said
 What do you want?" they asked
 He replied he wanted this and that, and added: "I want a big desk, a great big desk
