going on in order that changes when adj
visable should be promptly made. A
stitch In time saves nine. If Mr.. Mckin-
ley's advice had been taken nine years
ago when offered the embarrassments Of
todays tariff situation would not exist.
But between collecting information for
Congress to act on and for a commission's
action is great difference. A commits
sion invested with the power Of changing
tariff rates would become the most pow
erf1l body under the government. 1t

they are for Congress to meet and wrestle

Mr.. Root and His Success.

Mr. Root is being highly and widely
praised. Friend and foe alike agree tina.
his public services have been most ralu-
able to the country. He rescued the W ar
Department from chaos. and finding the
State Department in admirable condition
continued the successful work of john
Hay and inaugurated important work of
his own AS a cabinet officer he met the
fullest expectations OF both Mr.. Mckinley
and Mr. Roosevelt the latter expressing
the opinion that he was the most com
potent man in America for public affairs.
AS resultant a very fitting result
Mr.. Root goes to the Senate, where his
come. is assured. The belief is general that
he will repeat in that arena the successes
he has achieved elsewhere. The lawyer
who attained the front rank in his profess
sion. and the cabinet officer who impressed
himself on two great departments of the
government. should. and doubtless will,
serve with distinction as a senator.
In examining this mans career it is o.
interest to note that he has never been
bothered by the buzzing of the presidential
bee. He seems never to have had the
White House in mind Certainly he has
never played for favor as though limiting
in that direction. Neither as Secretary of
War nor as Secretary of State did he take
a step which seemed influenced by any
other consideration than the business in
hand. His sole thought was for the
country, and not for the political fortunes
of Elhu Root.
And yet Mr.. Root might have aspired
to the presidency. The Office is of course
within the range of his abilities. and as
a New Yorker he might have presented
claims to recognition.
Few men of his grade. environment and
experience have escaped the presidential
fever. Many have been consumed by It..
1t has shaped, and misshaped. many
careers. Clay, Douglas. Seward, Hen
bricks and Blaine all showed in their per-
formances the confusing effects of the
presidential ambition. If they had kept
themselves as free from it as Dir. Root
has done there is no telling how much
more useful they would have been to the
country than they were at certain stages
OF their public lives. Both MIR. Clay and
Judge Douglas complicated the slavery
question, already sufficiently complicated,
by their maneuverngs to reach the high
est Office. and then missed 1t.
Mr.. Roots unusual success may prob
ably be attributed In part to his freedom
from this alluremens. Maybe 1t was his
long service at the bar that saved him.
lie was fifty-four-a sober period-when
he responded to Mr.. McKfniey's invita-
ton to accept political Office. And then
ten years close to the first place must
have taught him much. At any rate. he
has so far escaped the contagion. and
has probably been the more useful and
the happier because of his experience.

Public Executions in France.

If the reports that have been published
here regarding the conduct of the French
people on the occasion OF the guillotining
OF criminals are correct. the experiment OF
reviving capital punishment in that coun-
try must be rated as deplorable failure.
a fortnight ago four people were be-
headed at the town of Bethune, and a
crowd formed for hours before the execu-
ton and engaged in orgies of a disgusting
character. The scenes enacted In the place
were suggestive Of the worst days of the
Terror 1t vas hoped that the authorities
would take warning from this shocking
episode and at least provide for private
executions in the future. On the contrary,
as though to insure a complete public dis
gust for the revival Of the guillotine, the
government has proceeded with another
public execution. which occurred the other
day at the town of Carpentras. The scenes
enacted at Bethune were exceeded In
violence and offensiveness. Men and wom-
en- paraded the streets for hours before the
execution. masked in fancy dress, singing
comic songs. lauding the executioner and
engaging in ribaldries and obscenities Of
the vilest nature. When the condemned
wretch was executed, the mob cheered and
laughed.
Such executions do not uphold the
majesty Of the law. They do not insure
respect for the rights of men. They arouse
in the unthinkiag, frivolous and ill-regu-
lated lower classes a thirst for and a
love of killing which may lind vent at
any time i'll private crime The tendency
in this country has long been toward
privacy in the execution of criminals. The
Introduction of electricity as the means
OF taking life in the name Of the law has
facilitated this movement toward sur
rounding the imposition Of the last stroke
with sense of mystery. more surely
corrective than the publicity which OBJ
tsins now In France. There are many
people in this country who urge that as
long capital punishment remains a
feature of our system of protection il
should be administered strictly in private,
without warning to the public: tina: the
day of the execution should not be pro-
claimed, that the state should permit no
descriptions TO be published, but should
proclaim the bare announcement of the
fact Of death inflicted by the law

Assistant Secretary o'Laughlin.

In promptly confirming the nomination
of Mr. John Callan O'IAughlin TO be as.
sistant secretary of state the Senate pays
deserved compliment to a Journalist
who has by his work fitted himself to
hold the Office to which the President has
appointed him. For some years Mr..
O'Laughlin has devoted his attention
largely to foreign relations and has
gained in consequence valuably ex-
tensive acquaintance in the world of
diplomacy. He has won distinction in
that field as a faithful interpreter OF
events and by his high character has
merited the condolences that have been
reposed In him. His selection to fill out
the term Of MIR. Bacon, promoted to a
seat at the cabinet table, Is well earned
recognition Of merit.

His birthday was celebrated yesterday

The Campaign Against Opium.
From the New York Tribune.

The recent opium riots in some parts of
China are from one point of view to be
regarded with qualification. They afford
unmistakable proof that the government
is in earnest in it's administration of the
law providing for the complete extinction
OF the opium habit within ten years from
the date Of enactment. If the law were
not being enforced, the people who are
interested in the opium traffic would not
be protesting and rebelling against it.
The government is enforcing the law and
is SURPRISING these uprisings, and there
is announcement to believe that it will
persist until the END for which the law
was made is attained.

The Willett Speech.

The House took the proper course With
regard to Mr. Willett's speech. 1t was
not entitled to a permanent place In the
records of that body. 1t did not have
for its object the elucidation of any pub
lie question appealing to the House for
action. 1t was merely an exercise Of
phrasemaking for the purpose Of holding
up the President of the United States to
ridicule.
Mr.. Willett would have been out of or
der at any time. The executive, the leg
isiative and the judicial departments Of
the government should, on every account,
manifest respect for one another. AS be-
tween the executive and the legislative
departments there Is constant COMMUNE
cation, and must be cooperation If the
public business is to be properly attended
to- The House states the case clearly
and admirably In its censure of Mr.. Will
lett.
But at this time Mr.. Willett's offense
was particularly regrettable. The House
had but recently complained of the Pres

sidered disrespectful, and it had refused
to accept either his message or his ex-
PLANTATION. 1t demanded from him the

The stand it took was generally applaud
ed for candor and dignity. And yet Mr..
Willett, by his speech, asked the House
to put itself In the attitude of doing to
| the President what it had rebuked in him
toward itself.
Mr.. Willett in his letter attempting ia
justify his speech failed utterly. In its
way it was as unfortunate as the first
deliverance. Liberty of speech is never
