Andrew Johnson's s Record

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 There remains no reason to doubt that Johnson, when he became presi dent by the unfortunate tragedy which took the life of Lincoln, represented the views of Lincoln on the plans for re- storing the country after the war. These plans were far more merciful and just to the south than the tyranny of Thad Stevens and his followers. Stew ems and his followers, however, had the power in congress, and certain pub lie sentiment in the north, where the sectional passions still raging favored them. Andrew Johnson was subjected to the bitterest prosecutions that a president ever had to undergo. Not only was he assailed, because he stood firm ly for justice ito a class with which he had never before been friendly but his private character was attacked in a despicable way. Assuredly the south ern people should honor his memory, for had he been successful in his fight the south would have missed the hu- initiation and bitterness of reconstruc- tion.

trade. Certain singulary stupid persons have characterized the dual tariff as a foolish at tempt to gain foreign trade by the use of club retaliation, they assert, is poor way to pro mote amicabe commerce with other nations
 These uniformed critics have no conception whatever of the perfectly lovely way in which maximum tariff really operates, how soothing it is to the susceptbilities of our friends over
 sea, how 1t moiies the acerbities of tariff con troversies and reduces the whole problem of re- ciprocal duties to one of pleasant and smiling chat between gentlemen. Mir. Aldrich to be sure, in burst of frankness, spoke some days ago of the dual tariff as ''purely proposition to force the people of the world to give fair treatment to our products.' ' We feel sure this was slip of the tongue, or, at any rate, that the Rhode Island senator put the case more strongly than was intended. For the maximum tariff does not produce its happy effects by force but by persuasion, as we are told by that distinguished diplomatic Senator Root We do not threaten to punish foreign nations by retail ation; we simply say that we will not punish them if they do thus and so. It is the difference
 says the senator ''between proceeding by threat of injury in case of injustice and pro- ceeding by the offer of reward in case of jus tce." No nation will yield to a threat, but all are expected to yield at once to a promise of reward. Thus what we cannot accomplish by welding club we can accomplish by prons- ing not to wield it in a certain eventuality Up-

SOME MORE LAW

The supreme court of the sate of Missouri appears to be very much up-to-date as tribunals of that kind go nowadays, if,indeed, not a trife ahead of the times. It has ruled that no claim for damages can lie against railroad accident ally wiping out of existence an entire family, no matter what the negligence, direct or con- tributory, might have been, or what the amount of damages that legally would have accrued had even one member of the annihiated family been left alive.
 Plainly enough this deceased family occupies the same place in the minds of the supreme court of Missouri that the so-called ultimate consumer occupies in the mind of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts Having ceased to ex- ist, it is entitled to no rights in civic law or to benefit of clergy Theoretically, it has at best, a wabbly standing; practically, it is more or less mythical It's obliteraton works no hard ship on anybody because, in the legal aspect of the matter, its precipitate taking off was effect ed more in sorrow than in anger and the clean sweep of the execution left no possible loophole for rational regret or possible mental or phys ical suffering among collateral kin.
 Why, therefore, should railroads kill people severalIy and pay big damages when they may legally remove them in clusters and escape pay ing even the coroner's feeg Really this re- markable finding should encourage transporta- tion companies to offer special inducements to families to travel together. In this way many of the cranky safeguards imposed by statutes might be dispensed of and the service wonder fully cheapened.
 A learned jurist once averred that no one could know the law before the supreme court had made guess at it. The sage observation appears to have been amply justified by tine history of legal procedure in these United States. There are only some forty-odd SUI preme courts in this land of the free and home of the brave and all of them are conducting guessing contests of more or less importance all of the time. No wonder we have so much law that is law.

Working Girls, Votes and Husbands

The girls who are members of the BiGdery Workers union of Chicago have decided that they want the suf rage and have adopted the war cry |" No vote, no husband. They have made a pledge to marry no man who does not advocate and work for womaH suffrage. This action is not likely to hamper matrimony in Chicago or m any other center of industry. No mar who wants one of those girls for wife is likely to be deterred by any such requirement.. If men can give up such material pleasures as tobacco o' liquor to win the women their hearts desire, surely they would not hesitate at such an abstraction or acquiescenee in the desire of women to vote. Bui will the girls themselves be persistenty faithful to their pledgef It is safe to predict that love will laugh at such ..n oustacIe.

NOW THE TARIFF CRISIS

If the press voices public opinion, the coun- try strongly dlsapproves of the tariff bill which is now in conference.
 StaIwart papers are, and have been, out spoken in conforming it. Hardly word is ut tered in it's defense. The opinion prevails wide ly that the measure was framed wholly in the interest of the producer and in utter disregard of the consumer.
 Unsparing criticism of the senate is to be found in the press. The only substantial praise vouchsafed in any quarter is for the so-called insurgents-ali honor to them !--who have stood out so steadfastly for revision down. ward
 Will the bill be improved in conference! Ger tainly it ought to be. And the country will be disappointed, indeed, if President Taft fails to prove potential factor in the betterment of things at this crisis.
 Undoubtedly the legislation has some excel lent features as 1t stands today. The corpora tion taxtion tax amendment, for which thanks are due to the president and not to the senate, affords evidence that everything is not given over to the selfish interests.
 And finally the bill contains provision for a tariff commission, which although by no means as definite and specific as it should be, may nevertheless be instrumental in the hands of President Taft in taking the tariff out of pol itics finally and forever and thus spare the country another spectacle such as is now draw ing to a close.

MODERN PROMOTION OF TRADE

An unusual note of lament was heard in the senate last week when Senator Deliver revert ing to some bygone notions respecting tariff re- vision, remarked that 'one of the most gloomy and unsatisfactory things about the present bill is that 1t does not seem to enlarge the opportun- ities of our trade in other countries" A main purpose of tariff revision, as conceived by the manufacturers who were largely instrumental in promoting it, was the removal of some of the barriers now existing to that interchange of products which constitute foreign trade. They saw that our exclusion policy, the policy of erecting high tariffs to keep out foreign pro ducts, begets retaliatory high tariffs against American products, for the maximum duties now applying to our eXportations were the di- rect outcome of the abnormally high duties inl. posed in the Dingley law. Many of our more enlightened manufacturers thought that by the removal of these abnormally high duties other nations would be encouraged in pursuing a more liberal tariff policy toward us, and that our foreign trade might be stimulated thereby. Doubtless they recalled President Mckinley $ last words, wherein he predicted that the period of exclusiveness is past, and that the expansion of our trade and commerce is the pressing prob lem.
 But these benghted manufacturers and the equally unenlightened senator from Iowa are strangely oblivious to the marvellous efficacy of a maximum tariff as stimuant to foreign

Western Police Reform

Kansas City is going through the hopeful anticipation of benefits expect ed from a sweeping police reform. The reform as described seems to consist of the transfer of policemen from one beat to another. The idea is that these changes may sharpen the eyesight of the officers so that they can see many open violations of the law that are quite invisible 10 the general public But the Kansas City Journal remarks in spirit of seeming discouragement: 'Crimes will still be committed iu Kansas City. Thieves will steal and murders will be done. People will fight and saloon keepers will probably try to evade the saloon laws Election thieves will in all probability try to get fraudulent ballots east But al least there is a prospect that the police force will be put at the work it l' hired to perform.

When Johnson left the presidential office many in the north considered that he had failed lamentably as president and that he went out practically in dis grace. But he was firm in his belief that he would be vindicated, and to the credit of the people of Tennessee, it should be said, he was returned by them as member of the United States senate in few years.

One commentator, Henry Sitges holds that New Orleans already ne, glects opportunities of trade with the Atlantic ports of South America, and invites his readers to look at the map to prove his assertions. But if Mr| Sitges does look at the map, with d view to distances of longitude as we'll as latitude, he may modify his views Let him consider the tremendous east ing that ship must make to reach the eastern coast of Brazil from the Gui of Mexico. Let him then realize thst the canal will bring the Pacific coas of South America, which lies in , straight line almost directly south os the Atlantic coast of the United StatGs into direct communication with our eastern ports. They can ship ther manufactured products to the PaciEi coast cities of Eequador, Peru and Chile with an imense economy of dis tanee. The trade now monopolized by Great Britain and Germany will then be at our doors. The productive and the purchasing power of these cour tries of the west coast of South Amen ca must, as result, be developed as never before. Their immense resources win be developed as never before. The Mississippi volley will profit thereby as well as the country east of the Ale ghenies.
