The two leaders are so bitterly disposed

A NDREW JOHNSON'S presidency
n began with great tragedy and
came near ending in another. With
two-thirds majority in congress, his
opponents overrode his vetoes, seized
control of reconstruction, stripped the
president of authority to dismiss a
postmaster or to get rid of an enemy
eves in his own cabinet, and bound
him hand and foot.
Although the president faithfully ex-
ecuted the reconstruction laws that
had been passed over his vetoes, he
asserted the right, which never before
lad been denied a president, to choose
::is own cabinet advisers. When he
Sried to dismiss Secretary Stanton,
Stanton turned the war department in-
to fort, and for weeks held it, night
and day, sleeping and eating at his
post.
Emotion having supplanted reason,
the house FASTENED to declare that in
the name Of the house Of representa-"
tives and of the people Of the United
States we do impeach Andrew john
son, president of the United States,

"A the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives on the evening of April 2,
1917, President Wilson was the central
figure in one of the great moments OF
world history. Not only his own people
but mankind stopped to listen.
The president had been reelected
only five months before because "he
kept us out of the war;" Alas, the
war would not keep out of the United
States.
The war took on new fury, with the
resumption Of ruthless summarizing,
which Germany had modified the year
before at our demand. The president
thereupon handed the German ambas'
sador his passports, and next he pro-
posed that we should arm our mer-
chant ships. The flibustering sen
ate failing to give him this authority
he proceeded himself to arm them. But
shipping vanished from the sea, with
its hidden terror. and atlast he called
the newly elected congress in extraec-
binary session to receive a communi-
cation--concerning grave matters OF
national policy"
