Although James Monroe was the
nrst or the ex-presidents to undertake
10 earn a living after retirement from
the presidential office, there was a
long interval between his active pri-
Vate lie as lawyer and the resump-
tion oy an ex-president of an active
business life. His successor, John
quincy Adams. planned life Of re-
tirement In his library, maintaining
there by reason of his constant writ
ing his Characteristic habit of badly
mixing his fingers and hands while pre-
pairing manuscripts. He was not per
mitted, however, to live the studious
and retired life he contemplated, for
mis- constituents called upon him to
serve them as member Of congress.
~hich he did for twenty years.
Andrew Jackson, however, lived the
life OF sage at the Hermitage, near

william Henry Harrison died while in

term was finished. but he was in re-
tirement until his death. Millard Fill

from members of his own party. II he had re-
mained within bounds he might have received
the support he expected, but now it appears ne
must make his fight single-handed.
Representative London, in explaining his re-
fusal to support Pierce, says: "The principle OF
free speech is not at issue. As ! understand it,
the police object only to the remarks of Pierce
as an individual"
If Pierce himself sincerely doubts the truth
OF London's statement he should apply to Maj.
Pullman for renewal of the permit and ae-
company the application with a pledge not to
use the kind of words that create resentment
on the part of street crowds and result in dis
order And if Pierce should follow this course
he probably would be treated as a sincere worker
for socialism rather than as mere seeker of
publicity

An Error by Pierce.

The action yesterday of Representative Lon
don in refusing to take up in Congress or else
where the fight of Julian Pierce probably will
be regarded act of wisdom by the ma
jority of Socialists in this country il they arc
familiar with the situation that Pierce has
created.
Pierce who is known here as a Socialist
speaker and newspaper correspondent obtained
a permit from Maj. Pullman to speak in the
public streets. While Pierce confined himself
to what the police regarded as a reasonable and
lawful use Of words he was not interfered with
but when he used words that the police feared
would incite disorder, Maj. Pullman revoked the
license to speak. Pierce then spoke without a
license, arrested and sent to Jail He de-
clares that he intends to stay in Jail as a martyr
to the cause of free speech.
He declares also that there was political cause
for the revocation of his license namely. that
the chief of police, appointed by the Commits
sioners who had been appointed by the Presi-
dent, did not want police permit used as legal
protection for verbal attack on Mr. Wilson
and the Democratic party.
In this declaration Pierce obviously has gone
beyond the point where he could expect support

Ex-President Arthur was able to re-
sumo professional practice he passed
away.
Since that time all of our ex-presi-
dents have been busy in private life.
Cleveland, during the four years in
terval between his first and second
terms, was a lawyer. After his second
term, he for a while was very glad TO
take up the vocation of a writer and
welcomed the fifteen thousand doHars
in a single year which he received for
his periodical articles. Then came an
opportunity to place him in a position
panies whereby he gained an income
of fifteen thousand dollars a year.
Harrison resumed the practice OF
law at indianapolis after he retired
from the presidency. Mckinley
friends were of the opinion that he
contemplated a life Of rest at his home
at Canton. O.. as soon as his second
term expired, but he entered upon his
rest before six months Of his second
term were ended.
Ex-President Roosevelt has recently
described himself as a writer and is
proud OF his vocation. He rejoices,
also, 1T the opportunity thereby to Sc
cure a satisfactory income, which, ac-
cording to common understanding. is
not far from thirty thousand dollars a
year. Taft aid not hesitate to take up
the work OF a teacher and a lecturer,
although he contemplated resumin g
active practice at Cincinnati after his
presidential term was ended. So ii Is
thought that hereafter, unless retir-
ing president has sufficient income, the
ex-presidents will be found in the ranks
of the workers

White Paper Waste.

Another Operation

Leslie Stirling, who had his leg am
putated last week is improving nicely.
Leslie has suffered from blood clots
in the arteries and in December 1912
his left arm was amputated, and on
May Is, 1913, after further indications
of the disease developed, 1t was found
necessary to amputate the left leg
just below the knee. This did not heal
well and for months he was compelled to
suffer with the leg unhealed. He grad
ually improved however towards spring
and for the past two years has been able
to attend to his business the greater
part of the time, being taken to the
store in q chair, an artificial limb al
lowing him to move about to limited
extent. But on Friday, July z another
stage of the disease developed and on
Sunday following an operation was
performed, removing the right leg
above the knee. Leslie's many Yale
friends are sorry to learn Of his misfor-
tune but hope that he will so far recover
as to to be able to attend TO his business
interests for many years to come.
