NO MIDDLE

The comments of The New York Sun
on the speech of Senator Root present
a strong view Of the live question con-
corning the courts now generally I'M
der discussion. The editorial is as
follows: "
The timely words of Senator Root
are of prime Importance for. their
clear demonstration Of the truth that
in the present assault upon courts
and constitutions there is no middle
ground. Either we are to have on
stitutions preserved in vigor and au-
thority through the decree Of indie
pendent courts or we must govern our
selves from day to day as within or
passion may decide. In the words of
Chief Justice Marshall uttered in 1903
and quoted by the senator from New
York yesterday:
Between these alternatives there is
no middle ground. The constitution is
either a superior paramount law, u
changeable by ordinary means, or 1t
is on a level with ordinary legislative
acts, and, like other acts, is alterable

alter it. If the former part of the al
tentative be true, then a legislative act,
contrary to the constitution, Is not
law. If the latter part be TRUE, then
written constitutions are absurd at
tempts, on the part OF the people, to
limit a power. in it's own nature, Him

No slushy reasoning Of weak re-
formers or vicious demagogues should
be permitted to cloud this issue. The
people can preserve the restraints up
on passion and impulse which theii
ancestors imposed and which they have
thus far maintained. Or they a fret
themselves of restraint and set up eacl
passing majority to rule as it will

New York Times: George Bernard
Shaw possess a wonderful knack for
adapting himself TO circumstances.
This fact was aptly illustrated a few
years ago at Milan, where Mr.. Shaw
found himself with a party Of English
folk. They were dining at a railway
restaurant and their waiter knew no
language but his own When the mo-
ment came to pay and rush for the
train no n was able to make the
waiter understand that what the
guests wanted was not one bill but
twenty-four.
Here Mr.. Shaw's friends insisted
that he must know Italian, and to
act as interpreter he racked his mem
DRY for chips from Dante, but In vain
All of a sudden a lire from the opera
The Huguenots, flashed to his brain:
"Ognuo per Sc; per tutti il ciel,'
(tsE1very man for himself; Heaven fol

triumphant success.

SCHOOL PROMOTIONS.


The city of Cleveland has been try
ing new methods in regard to promo
tions--not waiting until the end Of the
year to allow changes to be made from
n grade to another. Last year it
went to the extreme in the way of
changes by allowing opportunity four
times per year to have promotions or
dered, but this season, it has compro-
missed on twice during the year, and
viii continue the summer schools. In
referring to this subject The Cleve-
land Leader says:
The backward swing Of the pendu-
ium In school affairs has been stopped
1t appears. half way. At a time when
the cry is for progressive" theories,
conditions, methods and men the re-
dictionary movement In schools was
curiously out of harmony with the
general trend Of events. Under such
circumstances it could not undo all
that had been accomplished.
Instead of promotion once a year,
In the old way, or four times a year.
as was the system last year,
there are to be two opportunities an
uually for children to advance to high
er grades. Instead of no summer
schools, as the old rule was, or summer
schools for all children who wished to
use them, as in 1911, there will be sum-
mer classes for those who are behind
in their work and want to make up lost
ground, and perhaps for some other
special pupils.
1t looks like a fair compromise The
schools seem to have landed about half
way between the advanced ground they
were carried forward to last year and
the old conditions and methods. Prob
ably the forward movement was too
rapid. 1t confiicted with toe much OPP
position Of various kinds. Too much
inertia had to be overcome.
But it is clear that there will be no
return to the old order of things in the
schools. They are to be more elastic
and adaptable to the needs Of individ-
uaI pupils. The gain in that respect
stays. though the men who brought it
about are no longer in the service OF
the schools of the city.

Louisville Courier journal: Henry
w. Savage, a producer OF musical com

ment, has a reduction in the
prices of balcony and gallery seats In
an effort to solve the vexing problem
of the unsold seats in the upper tiers,
an unusual number Of which, 1t seems,
have been conspicuous this season.
The vaudeville house have made
what the turfmen call a killing by
selling bargain tickets all over the
house and extra bargains in the upper
floors. The musical comedy usually
offered is pretty closely related to
vaudeville. In fact it's stars nov
from one stage to the other in their
orbit, and occasionally from popular
price burlesque to musical comedy and
vaudeville. although rarely back to
the Wheel from the circuit" The
fact that the best seats may be bought
at the vaudeville houses for what much
humber ones command where musical
comedy is offered doubtless influences

HISTORICAL CONFERENCE.

st. Clair McKelway, editor of The
Brooklyn Eagle, has published for the
first time, after a lapse of more than
forty years, the story of the confer
ence between President Grant and
General Robert E. Lee. and the pur-
pose of that conference, held in the
White House in the early days Of
Grants first presidency.
Mr.. MeKelway was then a Wash
tpgton correspondent of The New York
World. and, at the suggestion of Mrs.
Myra Clark Gaines, visited General
Lee at the home of Mrs. Baldwin in
Georgetown to suggest to him that he
ask a conference with the president
with a view of preventing the use of
the militia in the pending election for
governor in Virginia and securing fair
play.
General Wells was the republican
nominee for governor, and the con-
sentative party nominee was General
Walker. who, though a union man, was
in sympathy with the southern people
who had been overrun under the re-
construction regime. General Lee as
scented to the proposition and the on
ference was held in Washington, with
the understanding that its purpose
should not be given any publicity. AS
a result of that conference there was
no military interference with the cleo.
ton in Virginia and General Walker
was elected governor. Mr.. McKeIway
in relating the incident of his inter.
view with General Lee, says of him:
/ have never seen a man more com
manding, dignified and impressive ii
appearance and yet more natural thar
was Gen. Robert e. Lee. and l hav'
never seen a man whose bodily anC
intellectual resemblance to Washing
ton. as has been suggested by histo'
rians and artists. was more striking
The impression created was that of
man Of great dignity, great simplicit!
and precision of statement, withou
excitement or resentment. There wa
no bitterness, no recrimination.

mild and lukewarm. That expecta-
ton seems to have been realized.
There is no doubt that the influences
which caused the animosity toward
Or. Wiley in the department of agri-
culture were brought to bear on the
committee. This is proved by the an.
nouncement that a full agreement
among the members was reached only
by means of compromise.
What the public expected Of the
committee was that it would take
steps for the removal of the obstacles
which DR.. Wiley has had to contend
with. Those obstacles were the REM
sen board and Solicitor McCabe. Fur
thermore, the public will not be satis-
fed unless some ]retribution is visited
upon the public officials who entered
into a disgraceful conspiracy to pre-
vent DR.. Wiley from spelling the prof
table game of the big adulterators of
foods and drugs. No recommendation
along this line is made by the commit
tee. And if those technical details
were unimportant, why were they
mentioned.
DR.. Wiley has the people behind him.
They know him to be an honest, able
and fearless official, who is trying to
save them from being cheated and in
jured in health. Congress, when it
considers the report of the committee,
will do well to bear this fact in mind.
