Repressed Movements.

Efforts have been made TO bring repub.
licanism out of the sphere of thought and
into the sphere of action. and it was the
duty of Senior Canalejas to repress many
movements in their early stages. to ask
now and again for the suspension Of con-
stitutional DEGREES, to send suspects to
prison-in short. to govern Spain as his
predecessors have governed it rather than
as he would have elected to govern 1t.
He was skilled dip.omat, and it
must stand to his credit that he MAIN
tanned reasonable relations with Por-
tugal under conditions Of extreme
difficulty that he came to an agree
ment with France. and yet cOntrived
to gain acceptance for great part of
the Spanish point of view, and that he
kept the eastern provinces from serious
outbreak at a time when the bigoted
intolerance and the medieval cruelty
of his predecessors rule had reduced the
loyalty of the east to vanishing point.
Moreover-and this is a point not to
could control the national treasury
without dipping his hands into it..
Forced to deal with many corrupt peo-
pie. he kept his honor unstained, and
one has not heard the charge of per-
sonal corruption against him by any
responsible critic.
Panic Would Be Bad.
1t will be bad thing for Spain If the
death OF Senior Canalejas causes g.
panic in government circles. and, con-
seauent upon that panic. the passing Of
the liberal party. 1t is. of course, only
liberal in name. but should it go from
power it is to be feared that Senior
Moret will be brought back to office. in
which case reaction of the worst kind
will have another innings. The prisons
will be filled with suspects. but in all
probability will not be full enough.
There will be one or two desperadoes
left outside to continue the work that
Canalejas' assassin began.
The murder of Senior Canalejas puts
fresh power into the hands of those
who declare that nothing but rigorous
repression can enable the Spanish
throne to stand with a republic on
two sides Of 1t. One can but hope that
King Alfonso, whose bravery Is beyond
dispute. will not listen to the advice Of
error-stricken friends or relatives, but
will have the fine courage to support
Count Romanones, whom he has ap-
pointed to succeed Canalejas. Count
ROmanOnes was one Of the committee
of five appointed in 1903. on the death
of Sagasta. to lead the liberal party.
When Senior Canalejas became premier
in 1910 Count Romanones accepted the
position of education minister. He is
reported to hold advanced liberal opin-
ions on the relations OF church and

WHO ARE DEMOCRATS.

Regular organs insist that there
Are 20 democrats in Tennessee ex-
cert those who voted for McMillin
for governor. That being the case
there are about 10000 democrats In
Tennessee. The 10000 or 10000 more
votes that Wilson got are not demo
cratic votes by this line of reasoning.
BY the same logic there are less than
5000 progressives In Tennessee not
withstanding the fact that Roosevelt
got more than $4,000 votes IN the
state. The smaller number repre-
sents the Poston strength. Hooper
received $4,000 votes in the state,
and according to these organs, there
are that number Of republicans. But
strange to say Taft received less than
half that vote in the state Now
where did Hooper get this additional
vote. They were not progressives,
because there are only 5000 Of them
and they were not democrats because
the organs claim that all the demo-
Gratis voted for McMillin. Hence &C
cording to the logic of the liquor
press Tennessee is naturally a rcpub-
lican state.
OF course such argument Is puerile.
The thousands of votes that Roose-
welt received in Tennessee which
were cast also for McMillin are not
democratic votes. Take this county
for example, where Roosevelt receiv-
ed $3.50 votes. Every one will admit
that more than half of these voters
cast vote for McMillin. Now who
can insist to any intelligent being
that the hundreds Of Roosevelt sup
porters in MaLry county are t'uer
democrats than the hundreds Of Will
SON supporters who cast a ballot for
Hooper for governor?
It is getting a mighty hard matter
to tell who democrat is. The very
men who are now seeking to estab-
lish the test in Tennessee and are
busy reading democrats out Of the
party only q few years ago denounc-
ed William Jennings Bryan as pop
plist and the wild ass from the plains
of Nebraska. They repudiated as un-
democratic platforms less progressive

HONEST UNCLE SAM.

A dollar bill was pinned to the cut
side of an envelope in one Texas
town, and promptly delivered to tn,
address in another town. What hap
pehed in Texas would happen in any
other state in the union. Uncle Sam
is very slow pay when he owes any
of his children anything, but he is
scrupulously honest in handling their
funds. Foreigners are amazed when
they see Americans pile valuable
bundles, covered with scores OF
stamps, on the top Of mail boxes in
the open street. They say that in
Europe no one dare leave a letter so
exposed, else someone would carry it
away for the sake Of stamp. The
people have such faith in the postof-
flee system of this country that 1t is
no uncommon thing to send silver by
mail, and it is a envery day affair to
send bills, and sometimes of large de-
nominations. OF course it Is much
safer to have valuable letters regis
teerd, but the fact that a great deal
of money and other valuables are
transported without this precaution
is tribute to the honesty of the post
Office system. Uncle Sam has to deal
with dishonest people, just as other
people have to deal with them, but
he has the power to punish them, and
he never spares time nor expense in
furnishing an evildoer. Memphis
News-Scimitar. -
The above is all very true. 1t is
largely true becadse the people have
a wholesome fear Of the wrath OF
Uncle Sam and the very deepest re-
spect for his laws. And why? Chief
ly because he enforces his mandates.
If the mail system were administer
ed by the several states it would non
only be not nearly so efficient as it ID
at present, but it would not be any
thing like as safe. People will caen-
ly defy the, laws of the state who
stand in moral dread of the statutes
of the federal government. The
United States Furnishes those who de-
fly its authority the states do rot
This marks the difference between
the respect the lawless feel for the
courts of the one and the lack Of
generation they have for the courts
of the other.

PENSIONS FOR PRESIDENTS.

1t Is evident that Mr. Carnegie did
not strike popular chord when he
proposed to pension all ex-Presidents
Of the United States at the rate of
$4,000 per annum. There is some
thing in the idea of Presidents of this
great nation living after their retire
ment from office upon the bounty Of
. millionaire that is shocking to the
finer sensibilities of the people of this
country. They do not like to think
that those who have held the most ex-
allied Office of the nation and one Of
the mightiest places in the world are
to be the charity wards of those who
have grown rich through special uriv-
ileges from the government. And
that is a very proper conception Of
the fitness Of things. The fact that
the people have frowned upon Mr..
Carnegie's gift is highly creditable
to them. 1t shows that the old ideal
still lives In the hearts of the great
masses of the American people.
In lieu Of accepting pension from
Mr.. Carnegie 1t is now proposed that
the government provide a pension Of
$4,000 per annum for our ex-Presi-
dents. If those who have held this
high place are to be pensioned at all
unquestionably the government
should pay it. But we are ny no
means convinced that this even
would be justified. 1t would be SO
much better, SO much more In keep
ing with the high ideals if our pl esi-
dents, when they retire from office
should go back into the ranks of plain
American citizens and take up the or
binary duties of life where they LEFT
them to assume the powers and re-
sponsibilities Of Office.
Pensioning Presidents would ulti-
matelyl lead to pensions for other Of
ficials of the government, system
that would he contrary to the genius
of our institutions. 1t would savor
too much of the ideas. which prevail
among the aristocracies of the Old
World, There is the custom to
grant pensions and annuities to those
who have served with distinction in
civil stations and the result is the
creation of class of distinguished
pensioners and theft removal from
the ordinary affairs of life.
No man has ever been or ever will
be forced to serve as President of
this country. 1t is an exalted Office,
one that is always eagerly sought by
4 number of men, In fact about nine
out of every ten American born boys
at some time in their lives cherish
the hope that they may be called to
serve as president. The ambition is
lastilled into them in the country
school and with many it does not
wholly depart until they have reach.
