The danger Of prolonging the incum-

who should be chosen to the Presi-
dency through extension of the term
of office is sufficiently guarded against
by the reservation of the power of inn
parchment in case of need.
1t would not only be a matter Of
wise provision, but it would also be a
stroke of good politics if. the Republic

ing the practical control of admins

ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE.
New York World.)


The Democratic State Committee of
California having decided not to ques-
ton the official count of the ballots,
California will give eleven electoral
votes to Mr. Roosevelt and two to Gov.
Wilson.
But had the contest been close and
the electoral votes of California neces-
sary to decide the Presidency, the
country would have faced a situation
hardly less dangerous than that which
it confronted in 1876
Congress needs no stronger argu-
ment in favor of the adoption of the
Works resolution submitting to the
State Legislatures an amendment 70
the Constitution providing for the ell
ection of the President by popular
vote. There is never much room for
doubt as to which candidate has the
popular plurality The closest election
we ever had so far as the popular vote
is concerned was in 1880, when Gar
fields plurality was lois There have
been only two instances since 1S4S in
which the plurality of the successful
candidate fell below 100000, and for
the last five elections it has run from
100000 to 100000
The Electoral College is the one
great failure of the Constitution. Pub
lie opinion long ago deprived the cleo
tors of all Independent judgment, and
the sooner the college is completely
abolished the better. 1t can do no
good, and some day it may do infinite
harm.

HUMORING THE BRUTE.

There is much truth and timeliness
in the speech made by Congressman
Roddenbery in the national House OF
Representatives recently relative 10
the prevention by national legislation
of miscegenation. The remarks OF the
Georgia congressman, which were ut
tered in plain and forceful language,
we're called forth specifically by the
recent marriage of Jack Johnson, the
negro pugilist, to the Cameron white
woman in Chicago.
When the case is analysed it was in
deed one where the brute in the pugtl-
list was humored. Unless the laws OF
Illinois permitted intermarriage, the
chances are that Johnson would not
have tried to marry white woman 1t
all but would have been contented with
the women of his own race. NO clearer
indication of the brute in this black
man could have been asked for than IN
his behaviour in marrying two white
women, each of whom was, If course,
of the lowest strata of society, on the
plane with the brute as is true OF
Johnson himself. Bestiality is but
another term for the feeling that ex-
lists between the two.
Johnson is a rather striking eXcep
ton TO the rule, it seems. There are
hundreds and thousands of negroes in
the North and West who are far more
intelligent and far better citizens than
Johnson who have not sought to avail
themselves of the laws of those states
that permit miscegenation. These ne
groes are far worthler people in every
particular than the Johnson negro, who
has been the idol of a certain element
of his race but who deserves nothing
of his own people and has never given
them anything.
1t is a wholesome tendency shown
by Johnson's own people to renounce
him. The press dispatches have just
told recently of the fact that the two
negro lawyers whom he had retained
to defend him in the white slave
charges have refused to represent their
black client any longer since his dis
graceful behaviour in marryin the
Cameron woman Johnson has sunk
far below the level of his own race. He
is not fit person to associate with a
decent negro, and the negroes are not
slow to realize it. The negro pugilist's
possibilities for good among his own
people are lost. His end will be swift
and sure, for he is a brute outcast on
the face of the earth.

; WARNS WILSON OF =
, THREE PITFALLS. =


Perhaps the most serious threat to
success in choosing the new cabinet
lies in the possibility that Mr., Wilson
may select his advisers from the differ
ent wings of the democratic party,
with the view of harmonizing them
This would probably mean the seiec-
ton of Mr.. Bryan himself for lead
ing place, and the throwing OF othsr
portfolios to that branch OF the party.
The so-called conservative coup
would lay claim, NO doubt, to the
treasury and to several other imp0It-
ant places, while various factions
would have to be consulted aid posts
definitely distributed among them. One
consequence would be cabinet al
ways at war within itself. or, at all
events, always threatened with war
Another ground for fear is the
choice of the cabinet On purely sec
o al basis. 1t is alrcaG. clear that
VIC oOutll wiz hOt DS o1AAShtA hhi|oE
it receives the lions share OF places.
! ct, this would be a dangerous situa-
ton if MI Wilson is building for the
future. He can not afford to be
charged with sectiona lism, a more
than he can safely accept the alterna
tive of entirely disregarding the distri-
button of the voting strength of his
party problem which is less gem
orally realized is that afforded by Mr..
Wilson's academic connections He
will not be wise to give members of
faculties or presidents of universities
a commanding place in the new cabi-
net. Mr.. Taft always seemed to pre-
fer lawyers or legally trained men for
the posts he had to distribute. Prof.
cheney in sports or the capacity TO
bring down game at a long distance,
proved a good ground for asking his
predecessor for an important admin
istrative place. Membership in col
lege faculty should not now be re-
garded as title to a political APP
pointment whose incumbent needs
practical experience of men and
knowledge of conditions above every
thing else.
The new president will have pecul-
lar, and in some respects, unprece-
denied problems to face. He will need
a body of resolute and experienced men
capable of meeting difficulties from
day to day, but above all sufficiently
foresighted to view things in the large.

THE OWNERS OF THE SOIL
(By Edward Everett.)

The man who stands upon his own
soil, who feels that, by the law of the
land in which he lives, he is the right
full and exclusive owner of the land
which he tills, feels more strongly
than another the character of man
as the lord of an inanimate world OF
this great and wonderful sphere.
which, fashioned by the hand of God,
and upheld by His power, is rolling
through the heavens, a part of his
his from the center the sky! 1t is
the space on which the generation be-
fore moved in its round of duties, and
he feels himself connected by visible
link with those who follow him, and
to whom he is to transmit a home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to
him from his fathers. They have gone
to their last home; but he can trace
their footsteps over the scenes of his
daily labors. The roof which shelters
him was reared by those to whom he
owes his being Some interesting do
nestle tradition is connected with ev.
cry Enclosure. The favorite fruit tree
was planted by his fathers hand. He
sported in boyhood beside the brook
which still winds through the meadow
Through the field lies the path to the
village school of earlier days. He still
hears from the window the voice OF
the Sabbath bell which called his
fathers to the house of God; and near
at hand is the spot where his parents
lay down to rest, and where, when
his time has come, he shall be laid by
his children.
These are the feelings of the owners
of the soil Words cannot paint them
gold cannot buy them; they flow out
of the deepest fountains of the heart,
they are the very life-springs of n
fresh, healthy and generous national
character.

The Assyrian came down like the wolf
on the fold,
And his cohorts were cleaning In pur-
pie and gold;
and the sheen of their spears was like
the stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on
deep Galilee.
Like the leaves of the forest when
summer is green,
That host with their banners at sunset
were seen;
Like the leaves of the forest when
autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay wither'd
and strown.
For the Angel of Death spread his
wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as
he pass'd;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxd
deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and
forever grew still!
And there lay the steed with his nos
tril all wide,
But through it there roll'd not the
breath of his pride;
And the foam of his gasping lay white
on the turf,
and cold as the spray of the rockbeat-
en- surf.
and there lay the rider distorted and
pale,
With the dew on his brow and the rust
on his mail;
And the tents were all silent, the ban
ners alone;
The lances untitled, the trumpet I'M
blown
And the widows of Ashur are loud i'll
their wall;
And the idols are broke in the temple
of Baal;
And the might of the Gentle, unsmote
by the sword,
Hath melted like snow in the glance
of the Lord
