President Arthur should take on the
duties Of the presidential ofdce. but
he did not do so until Mr.. Garfield
died. President Mckinley survived
several dzys xfter being wounded, but
continued as far a. the occasion de-
manded to exercise the duties Of his
Office until his death. Mr. Lincoln died
within q few hours after being shot.
Presidents Harrison and Taylor died
in Office, but in neither case was the
Vice President called upon to act until
the death Of the President.
Apart from these five eases from
deaths in Office there have been NO in
stances Of SUGGESTIONS by Vice Presi-
dents. When Andrew Johnsen was
impeaehed there was some talk Of
designating the Secretary Of State to
act in his stead under the inability"
clause, but Mr.. johnson continued to
serve throughout his term, being ae-
quilted by the high court of impeaeh-
ment.
It is generally held that the Con-
stitution makers contemplated "inabil-
ity" as something beyond the control
Of the President, inasmuch as it pro-
vides specifically for substitution in
case Of resignation. It is hardly to be
considered that q voluntary departure
from the country, on whatever GRAND,
would constitute such an "inability" as
to warrant or permit the designation
of substitute President.

Damning Tears Of Joy.

As French troops move eastward into
Alsace and Lorraine in occupation OF
the areas to be evacuated by the Ger
mans scenes are being enacted that
constitute the strongest possible in
dictment Of the now disintegrating
German empire. The people Of the
cities reached by the iberators are
focking forth to greet them, shower
ing them with flowers, kissing the flag
of France. It is as though the doors
Of a prison had been thrown open and
the long -shackled inmates were being
let forth to freedom.
Forty-seven years ago Germany took
these provinces from France by con-
quest, against the protest of their in
habitants. Persisting unremittingly
during that nearly half century, the
power at Berlin has been exercised at
the repression of these peoples, seek
ing the determination Of their Ian
guage, undertaking by every possible
means to "make" them Germans-every
means but the right one.
The story Of the sufferings Of Al
SAGE and Lorraine during these forty
seven years is one continuous record Of
cruelty and tyranny, exercised in the
peculiarly stupid manner in which the
German tries to "rule' an alien peo-
pie. They were regarded as enemies
from the beginning and treated as such
systematically, in the very manner cal
culated to keep them enemies and to
prevent them from being friends.
The same thing was happening in
Schleswig- -Holstein, where the Danes
were deprived Of their language, and
in Poland, where the Poles were sub
jected to prosecutions innumerable. It
is the characteristic German method
Of government. It was tried in Africa,
where the Germans undertook colo
NAL enterprise on a large scale, and
utterly failed to do more than estab-
lish trading posts, and made no prog
ress whatever in winning the conf
dence Of the natives.
German efficiency" was an abject
failure in Alsace and Lorraine as in
Schleswig- Holstein, and in Poland,
and in Africa. It consisted merely in
rigidity Of rule, in a refusal to recog-
nize the native rights Of subject peo-
| pie. And yet these were the people,
| these Germans, who set out to accom-
plish world dominion. The tears that
are now being shed by the people Of
Alsace and Lorraine, tears Of joy for
their liberation from German rule, are
the surest proof Of the righteousness
Of the present victory over the most
evil power the world has ever known.

Dr.. Soils Appeal.

Dr. Solf, the German foreign secre-
,.tary, appeals for modification Of the
armistice terms to permit an economic
intercourse between the right and left
banks of the Rhine during the period
Of truce. he asks permission for the
German owners to exploit as hereto
fore the coal, potash and iron ore mines
and the general free use of the Rhine
for transport within the old boundar-
les of the empire; also free navigation
by way Of Rotterdam on the coast for
provisioning, the continuation Of in
dustrial pursuits on the left bank for
the use Of the remainder Of the coun-
try; free railway traffic in occupied
territory and the definition Of the "old
frontier of the empire, including Lux
emburg," as the customs boundary and
customs duties to be levied by Ger
many. He repeats his previous pro-
test against the surrender Of means Of
transport and against Continuation Of
the blockade"
Military occupation of the German
area west of the Rhine and at three
points within radius Of thirty kilo-
meters eastward is designed to pre-
vent the resumption Of hostilities by
Germany pending the formulation Of
vital peace terms. The requirement for
: the surrender Of locomotives and rail
road cars was merely to insure trans
: port for the allied forces within the
| occupied area, in consideration Of the
depletion of the transport facilities in
the occupied portions Of Belgium and
France during the German invasion.
Without doubt the transport facilities
west of the Rhine will be used for
provisioning.
But there is no reason whatever for
t the allied high command to remit the
armistice terms in any material degree
to insure economic prosperity in Ger
many, short Of the necessity of main
tanning order and preventing the
spread of anarchy. Exploitation Of
the mineral resources west of the
Rhine may be political necessity, but
the proof of this fact is to be adduced,
and assuredly the allies will not con-
sent to any such change as DR.. Soaf
proposes without demonstration Of the
need, to the one end that the allies
now have in mind, the maintenance of
order in Germany.
Germany is in state Of suspension,
I economically and politically, as well
as militarily, and it would be folly
for the allies to move now in the
very first days of the truce to provide
means for the economic rehabilitation
Of the country in advance Of deter
mining the future condition of the
enemy country. For the terms Of
peace are quite likely to cover con-
siderations of this character affecting
Germany's foreign trade and the utili-
zation of those areas which the allied
armies are now proceeding to occupy
az a precautionarv measure.

No Provision for a Substitute.

Although President Wilson indicates
that it is his purpose to continue dur
ing his absence in France, in attend
ance upon the peace conference, to ex-
ercise the duties of his Office, the ques-
ton of the possibility of delegation
of the executive powers to another dur
ing such an absence becomes of public
consequence. The only constitutional
reference to the subject is that Of
article 2, section /, clause 6, as fol.
lows:
"In case Of the removal Of the Presi-
dent from Office, or Of his death, resig-
nation or inability to discharge the
powers and duties Of the said Office, the
same shall devolve on the Vice Presi-
dent, and the Congress may by Law
provide for the case of removal, death,
resignation or inability, both Of the
President and Vice President, declar-
ins what officer shall then act as Presi-
dent, and such officer shall act accord
ingly until the disability be removed OF
. President shall be elected"
Does the phrase Inability to dis
charge the powers and duties Of the
said office cover. such a case as that
in prospect, with the President ab-
senting himself on what is virtually
an official errand, in circumstances to
preclude the discharge Of his duty rs a
part Of the hw-making orgsAization
It hps always been considered that
this phrase signi6ed Illness rather than
absence. The matter was discussed
when President Garfield ny wounded

The Presidents Coming Address.

This is from a story respecting the
( conference held at the White House
last night between the President and
= several democratic senators:
= Reconstruction and legislative ques-
tions, the senators were said to have
cussed by the President in his address
q to Congress at the opening Of the new
session December 2. At that time he
is expected to outline his views on the
necessity for maintaining some gov
ernment war agencies. at least for a
limited period after the peace treaty
is signed"
In addressing Congress at the open
ing of q session, the President, as q
: rule, has been brief. He has departed
from the presidential custom Of dis.
6 cussing many subjects at length. he
has permitted the reports by the heads
of the different departments to speak
. for themselves as to the conditions Of
departmental business, and confined
himself somewhat to generaities.
The coming occasion, however, win
96ord an opportunity for him to de-
q part somewhat from his own custom
and speak at some length on public
, questions. It is not known if he in.
tends to do this. ..."
In the first place, several Of those
questions are new and highly impor.
: tant. They relate to reconstruction
and will not be referred to in any de.
. partmental report. Congress and the
y country viii be glad to hear from him
p with relation to them if he is prepared

AUTO Thief is
AgQiM at Forks

L. B. Matthieson. the former Far
so real estate operator who faces
three distinct charges Of auto
thefts, and who also is accused by
military authorities as a deserter
from Camp Dodge. is again in the
county jail at Grand Forks. He was
brought there from Minneapolis by
Sheriff A. F. Turner.
Matthieson has explained to au-
thorities the manner Of his recent es
cape from the Grand Forks Jail, and
his success in eluding capture. Aft
er getting out of the Jail, he made
his way to Fisher. about IA miles
southeast of Grand Forks, getting
an auto ride from that point to
Crookston.
From Crookston he came to Fargo
by train, arriving here late at
night, and, walking north on Broad
way, found an automobile in front
Of ST Luke's hospital. the engineer
of which was idling. Without fur
Their ado he took possession OF the
car, drove down town. filed the tank
with gas and set out for Minneapo-
lis. VERY simple, he explains,
when you know how 1t is done"
Grand Folks authorities are not
certain yet whether they or the
federal officials will take charge Of
theprosecution of the defendant.
