KINGLY PREROGaTINE.

Despite It's tossings under the weight OF the
crown the kingly head and again has OPP
portnnity TO comfort itself with reflection on the
arbitrary powers of lis will. There is human
appeal in the exercise of the prerogatiye. es-
pecally Of mercy 1t must be a satisfying emo
ton to act upon sentiment and kindly impulse.
There must be thrill of deep pleasure in ever
turning ones own laws at ones personal whim.
The tears Of gratitude are Jewels which even the
proudest rulers may we'll have passion in OBJ
tanning.
President Taft, sitting as a court of appeals
al the Ellis Island port of immigration, must
have felt not unlike the soverei IN who in the old
DAYS used TO have his hour for the presentation of
petitions. Before him came number of hopeful
immigrants each of them technically ''unde-
eirabe citizens, either by reason Of some bodily
lntirmty for the want of sufficient money to
square with the entrance requirements. In deal
ing with these cases the President showed the
kindly spirit which he has often to stlhe. In
NEARLY every instance he threw open the doors OF
The country to the hopes of the humble people
seeking admission to lis opportunities. In one
case there a Welshman with seven mothcrless
children. The President let him in, with word
Fof cheer and the expressed belief that the young
children would in time make valuable citizens of
the country. Others, merely poor, won the Pres
identia nod of favor. One man, afflicted with
fiat foot" got instant sympathy from the high
head of the nation, somewhat fat, and therefore
somewhat inclined to that trouble, himself. These
fortunates. their hopes all but dashed. left the
Presidential presence in high feather and with
renewed confidence. They were lost, and they were
saved. They despaired and they given the
right to hope again They wepl and went away
with praises on their lips for the wonderful coun
try where the head of the nation looked upon
the humbes conner to lis shores in succor and
with sympathy.
President Taft has had rough road to travel
He has moved for months and months amid per-
feet Storm of the arrows of criticism and dis
trust. He has seen friends desert him, and watch
ed old enemies advancing with confidence
Doubtless he has known the bitterness of feeling
himself misunderstood. of having good motives
twisted, and good intentions impeached. But we
wonder whether, after his experience at Ellis
Island, he did not 90 away with hear, swell
ing with emotion, and with the thought that af-
ter all is said. the matter of being President has
It's humane advantages

While this is true, church action holds Il live

the convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in connection with the question of sui

After having recently declared for the appoint

length declared against this racial division
In this it would seem that there is the greatest
wisdom. The negro in the South is taken into
the Episcopal church. He has in many instances

the other hand his church organization in this

touch with the organization. in close relationship
to the organizations policy and ideals. This
should be clearly helpful 10 the negroes, who de-
spite a marked advance in both intelligence and
morals, still inclined to the old characteristic
of superficial emotion so hndering to the real
and deeper religious life without which their
destiny will ever remain incomplete.
We are sorry to have seen in the reports of the
conventions actions a tendency to harp on the
fact that the negro ought never to have been eman-
cipated. Perhaps not, but he was. 1t is even
more useless now than ever to argue against
fact Despite the palpable objections that the
system itself carries, when considered from the
point of view of the average Southern white man.
