The Tenure of Office Act was delib-
crate reversal OF the constitutional prac-
tice of more than two generations. The
debates of the first Congress under the
constitution, the views of the statesmen
who had framed the law of the govern
ment, the opinions of lawyers, the un-
broken practice of sixteen presidents had
been thought to establish beyond ques-
tion the right OF the chief magistrate to
remove federal administrative officials
at his pleasure.
Congress, it seemed, was ready to over
ride law and precedent alike to make
good its mastery.
Mr.. johnson was not the man to de-
cline such a challenge.
After fighting the policy of Congress
in matters purely legislative with caUstic
Vetoes and bitter condemnation he was
not likely to submit to have his very
powers OF administration stripped away
without resistance carried TO the utmost
bounds.
He had kept Mr.. Lincoln's cabinet; but
he had not relished the attitude of one
or two of its members toward him. It
had been hard enough for Mr.. Lincoln,
even, with his shrewd and kindly insight
into the real nature of the man and his
love for the sheer force and audacity
with which he administered his critical
office IN days almost of revolution, to
endure the wilful arrogance of Edwin NJ.
Stanton. the Secretary of War: it was
quite impossible for Mr.. johnson to en-
dure It.
1t was something more than wiIfulness
that Mr.. Stanton showed in his relations
with Mr. Johnson. He became openly
a partisan of the radical leaders in Con-
gress, and set himself TO defeat the
President at his own council table.
He administered the affairs of his De-
partment as If he considered il an in
dependent branch OF the government;
| carried out the instructions of the Presi-
dent with regard to the South in a way
| TO discredit as much as possible the
policy which they embodied; and seemed
bent upon maintaining the Department
| of, War as a sort Of counterpoise to the
| presidency itself until a man acceptable
to the Republican majority in the houses
should come to the head of the govern
ment

Must Prepare for a New Start.

For once perhaps, the Carranzistas are nearly
right in saying the punitive expedition under Gen.
Pershing has achieved its purpose and should
retire from Mexico. The orders given to Fun
ston have been carried out literally and enough
has been done for vengeance and lesson-teaehing
for the Columbus raid, in the killing of over a
hundred bandits while our own soldiers, though
suffering hardships in the pursuit, have hardly
received a scratch. Meanwhile the brigand Villa.
though able to elude the pursuit for the time, is
certain to be caught at last and hanged or shot
for his crimes against the Mexican people, even as
Gen. Huerta once intended to do to him, but
unfortunately spared him, moved by the prayers
of one of his wives. In any event Villas worth
less hide will hardly pay for the trouble of a
further hunt for him while our army is in its
present condition of unpreparedness, and Gen.
Pershing and his men might as well return and
prepare for important work in Mexico in
the future perchance.
If what United States Senator Fall, of New
Mexico writes from the Rio Grande border, where
he went to investigate, shall prove true namely,
that Villa was aided in his escape by Carranzistas
while Carranza himself refused the use of the
American-owned railroads in Mexico to carry food
eventually to be work aplenty for the American
army on the Rio Grande and beyond. The Incl
dent has shown that the first chief cannot be
depended on with his following to safeguard
American lives and interests in Northern Mexico
where most of the mines and ranches of Ameri-
cans and other nations located. It has shown
that Carranza is either unable or unwilling to
protect American citizens in that section of Mex
leo from the ravages of murderers, and if there
is one thing more certain than another it is that
hereafter those citizens will be protected by
body-probably by increased United States
army, properly equipped and provisioned by rail-
roads seized en- route without asking permission
for their use.
w. Jennings Bryan is no longer in control
of the Department of State of this republic, and
it is hardly necessary to mention that in the
event of another massacre of Americans in Mex
leo or on the Rio Grande border, there would
come decisive action. In the present temper OF
the people on this side of the border, throughout
the country, any failure to act in such would
bring a storm of indignation to both Congress
and the Executive not likely to be ignored. And
once started the work should be thorough. 1t has
been suggested in some quarters that if are
obliged to march for the third time across the
border, the larger portion of Northern Mexico
should be seized and erected into a buffer"
state independent of the rest of the Southern
republic and garrisoned and controlled under a
protectorate of the United States till such time
as the people of such state could protect them
selves from Villistas, Zapatistas, Saazistas Car
ranzistas and the rest of the gang of sef-seekng
politicians Such action might be a solution OF
the troubles in Mexico and result in great eco
nomic benefits to all concerned.

Mr.. Johnson had wished from the first
to be rid OF him. but had wished also
to preserve unbroken the tradition Of
policy handed on TO him from Mr.. Lin
coin, and had hesitsted 10 ask for his
resignation.
He determined now TO make Mr.. Stan
toms case a case for the test OF his
prerogative and of the Tenure Of office
August ds6O, during the congressional
recess, he demanded Mr. stanton's resig-
nation.
Mr.. Stanton refused 70 resign, and the
President suspended him from office, as
the terms of the Act itself permitted,
putting General Grant in his place.
When Congress reassembled In De-
cember the Senate refused TO sanction
the removal, and Mr.. Stanton resumed
his office.
The President once again issued an or
der for his removal, and Mr.. Stanton
again refused to cult his office, appealing
to the House for protection,
On February a 1865, the House voted
TO impesch the President for high crimes
and misdemeanors.
His only offences were that he had
added to his vetOes unmeasured abuse
Of the houses and their leaders and that
he had disregarded an Act of Congress
in his removal of Mr.. Stanton; but the
Impeachment had been resolved upon as
pollIcal, not as judicial, process
of removal, in passion, not in cool
judgment-in the spirit of the men who
In Mr.. JefersOn's day had sought to
make IL a means of party mastery
against the judges OF the federal courts.
From the 5th Of March TO the 18th of
May the unedifying trial dragged on.
Even while it pended the President
went incorrigibly up and down the coun-
try speaking with his accustomed un-
guarded passion and open defiance OF
every one concerned against him in the
long series Of controversies which had
brought the trial on.
Fortunately there were men among the
Republicans Of the Senate who put their
consciences as lawyers and their scrupIes
as statesmen before their allegiance TO
their party leaders.

Love Of Life.
ny JOHN D. BARRY.

Many years ago something happened in oul
neighborhood that left an impression on me
shall always retain
A little girl was taken from an orphan asylum
by some Christian people The mother in the
family was an excellent woman. excellent in pur
pose but a martinez.
She had no sympathy with the weaknesses
and the faults of that child
Those people assumed that the child had .
bad inheritance. So they were always on the
watch for evil
And when people looking for thing they
usually find it. They always find it when it is
evil and when they wish to see it.
Daily, hourly, that woman tried to lead the
child toward perfection by the hideous avenue:
of torment.
One day the child went down to the beach
As it was out of the people who lived
nearby wondered what she was doing there
To their amazement they saw her walk slowl,
into the water
They rushed to her and forced her to com,
back.
The incident created excitement in the neigh
borhood.
Feeling high
1t put that excellent Christian woman in ar
unpleasant position
The Washington herald., 1916-04-13

Even among grown-ups it is almost provert
never carry out the threat.
Usually the threat has no relation to inten-
ton.
1t is made simply and solely for the pur.
pose of inspiring sympathy and exciting terror
In nearly every instance it may be traced
to egotism.
In the delightful comedy, "The Royal Family
Capt. Robert Marshall introduced the figure of a
kindly old priest, a genial philosopher. That
priest delivers beautiful speech about the way
he would like to rearrange life. Instead of hav.
ing people born young and making them grow
older and older, he would have them born old
and make them grow younger and younger. That
speech always delights an audience, but pretty
as it is, it seems to that the old priests plan
is not real improvement on the present ar
rangement. 1t would make life a recession in
stead of what it now is, or ought to be- pro-
gression.
For as we grow older we ought to grow not
less and less rich in experience not less and less
wise, but wiser and wiser and in experience richer
and richer
And all know at least a few people who
as they go on living, make such a progression
If we study their lives we invariably find tina,
they have retained their capacity for enjoying life
for keeping their diversions
In many instances we shall find that they have
made all the experiences of life diversion
For the great secret seems to be not to turn
pleasure into occupation, but to turn occupation
into pleasure

Children often long to make their quietus-
well-meaning grown-ups perseeute them
l often wonder there remains in the worlC
as much goodness as there is.
Grown-ups make it so hateful to children tina
one might fancy they would loathe goodness
all their lives.
One might fancy, too, that the new genera
ton would put end to goodness for all time
would forbid its ever being mentioned
But the terrible thing is that the very children
who are tormented in this way forget their tor
ments and pass them on to other children, usual,
to their own children.
Here is one of the causes of morbid though
and impulse in children.
Many children love to think of themselves a.
dead that they may enjoy the luxury of fancy
ing the remorse and grief of those they are dea
to, those who, as they believe, have made then
unhappy.
Sometimes they even threaten to kill them
selves, hoping to strike terror in those abou
them.
1t is only when they become frantic will
wounded egotism with anger that they max,
real attempt
For the life instinct holds them firmly, seldom
granting to morbid imagination more than a pass
ing indulgence.
