THE IMPEACHMENT PROCEDURE.

When the Constitution was adopted, with its in.
volved procedure for mpeachments in certain cases,
there were thirteen States and total Of twenty.six
Senators were contemplated. Now there are ninety.
eight Senators, and the Judiciary Committee Of the
body numbers nearly many as the entire original
membership of the Senate.
The trial Of an impeached officer in the Senate is
so cumbrous tedious, destructive o! opportunity
for ransactng the real business Of the body that it
is remarkable some serious effort has not been made
to modification of the constitutional provision
under which it is conducted II it be held necessary
that the Senate conduct such cases. why not permit
it through committee? The right Of Senator to
his seat is made the subject Of inquiry by committee
Of the Senate which takes all the testimony and then
submits it to the full Senate. Would it not be just
as satisfactory method of trying case impeach-
ment? Certain ii is that the present system is sure
guarantee against its invocation save in and
grave instances.

THE DEFECT OF THE SHERMAN LAW.

Senator John Sherman described the Sherman
law when 1t was first introduced as a remedial
statute to enforce by civil process in the cour~ OF
the United States the common law against monopo.
lies" But the common law against monopolies had
its root In an act Of the English parliament that was
passed At time when monopolies were granted BY
the crown as q reward to faithful courters At least
800 years before the invention Of the steam engine
and automatic machinery BeneRcent as these recent
decisions Of the Supreme Court have been in regard
to the dissolution Of several Of the trusts, It is never
heless fact that those decisions have found their
source to some extent in the conscience OF the court
and there Is still the lack Of reliable definition OF
the term monopoly that only adequate legislation can
supply.
Under the latest rulings Of the court It Is pos.
sibe to order the dissolution Of an organization OF
two or more undertakings that is not an actual re-
straint Of trade according to the rule OF reason, be.
the motives for that organization were not pre-.
cisely those Of good conscience and thereby incs
grave industrial hardship on some important com.
mercal activities. So far an instance Of that kind
has not occurred but the possibility Of its occurrence
presents at least prma facie case for an enlarge
men Of the Sherman law in the direction Of statutory
definition clauses.

HOW TO BEAT TAMMANY.

The reason that New York cannot beat Tammany
is similar to the annoyance Of the gentleman who
couldn't see the forest because Of the trees. New
York-and this is only the observation OF an innocent
bystander- that Tammany is something out
side Of New York; an invention Of the devil with
Tweed and Croker and Murphy as bis adjutants.
And that is wrong. Tammany-as a matter of psy-
Geological facts actually New York and New York
is Tammany. Which is one reason why Tammany
cannot be beaten by forays and imaginary irvasions
that are not invasons because the investment is at.
tempted from the inside Of the walls.
The job Of beating Tammany is the job Of a
breakdown gang that will work twentyfour hours a
day. Tammany cannot be blown up by political dyna.
mite, either. 1t must be pounded and pounded and
pounded until it crumbes
And the pounding must be done, first, for long time
by newspapers They must start and keep at day after
day after day. They must keep at it till the men
who are doing the writing fall by the wayside They
must keep at it till their readers threaten to stop
subscribing They must keep at it till the operators
the machines who set the copy feel like falling
back in shreks at every new story. They must keep
at it till New York puts its manicured hand to its
massaged forehead and means. They must hold on
to Tammany as bulldog holds on to thief.
And that will beat Tammany, because Tammany
not long. distance fighter No crook and no faker
ever is. The men who have fought Tammany have
always quit in the early rounds when TamInany was
bleeding and hanging over the ropes, because they
either thought Tammany was beaten or they gave
way to the tired feeling, the European season had
commenced and the thought of the European season
made fighting Taminany vulgar exercise. And then
Tammany went back to its corner and gained the de-.
csion on points.
But the day that longdistance slugger appears
who will 60 roughing it and inRghting until the
referee forgets to call the rounds, Tammany will
70 down for the count And not till then.

States Steel Corporation.
Judge Martin Hughes has granted q

Mrs. I.iend hadn't much money. but
she had plenty OF courage, and she
took her troubles into court. The case

were adopted by the corporation to win
the battle against the woman. Now.
however. the district court has ordered
the company to cease cutting Into OF

DEEP WATERWAYS.

Without going so far with the National Rivers and
flarbors Congress as to ndorse the scheme for the
creation Of an inland sea close to the Atlantic coast
We feel that much Of the work Of this movement
merits larger financial support from Congress than
II has yet received
We have done too little for such rivers as the
Missouri and the Mississippi since their navigation
was abandoned by those old, wooden steamboats, that
looked so much like floating tenement houses on fire,
and the people Of Kansas City have been recently
demonstrating, under immense disabilities, the ad-
vantages that would come from the undermining Of
those streams.

TANNING THE MISSISSIPPI.

President Taft we'll stated the case of the Mis-
sisspp river in his address to the Rivers and Harbors
gathering The Mississippi is national institution
and national problem. In the very nature of things
It cannot be handled, its floods prevented and its
commercial possibilities developed by the action of
the States
The nation bought Louisiana largely in order to
get the great river. 1t stipulated for control of New
Orleans and the rivers estuary in the peace terms
following the war of 1912. There were no more
important campaigns in the war of the sixties than
those that were fought for domination Of the lower
courses of the river.
1t is well.nigh impossible to conceive the direct
economic loss that the nation susains by reason OF
the recurrent floods that devastate vast areas of the
most productive lands along this stream and its great
tributaries Vast agricultural areas great rural pop.
ulatons, splendid and important cities, must reeds
develop under the shadow of the always-impending
danger that grows more serious year by year from
the floods.
American engineering genius has solved the prob.
lens Of the interoceanc canal; it is able to deal with
those of the Mississippi. Sectonalism ought to be
laid aside that the work might be done. Success in
this, the greatest Of internal waterway problems
would be guarantee that the minor ones involving
most flood control, drainage and transportation, would
be taken up with confidence and pushed to solution

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL.

The Lincoln Memorial Commission has voted to
recommend that the Potomac Park site be chosen,
and beautiful marble structure erected thereon.
This is in conformity to the program of the Burnham
commission for developing the city beautiful idea in
Washington, with the Mall as the central feature in
the design. 1t would make the Capitol the Grant
memorial, the Lincoln memorial and the Washington
Monument mark the axis of noble design of public
buildings and grounds.
There will be antagonisn,, .and probably sharp
controversy, before final Congressional action is
taken The alternative project of the Lincoln high.
way to Gettysburg has many determined supporters,
who not prepared to yield their point until they
are squarely beaten
1t seems regrettable that unseemly controversy
should involve project whose ultimate inspiration
Is so fine and big and national sentiment Why not
a compromise that should accept both plans? Why
not the marble monument on the Mall and the Lin
coin highway, also? Each makes its own appeal to
certain body Of sentiment. Gettysburg, near as it
Is to the National Capital ought to be more easily &C.
cessibe than it is; it ought to be known better to in.
spre more lofty conceptions and patriotic purposes
1t should property be brought within the radius OF
local interest and accessibility for the thousands ol
