compared himself to boy gathering pebbles on the
shore Of the vast. unknown Of truth. But
patient industry that familiar infinude Of palms. does
not adequately label the springs Of this mans genius

AN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL

On March 80. 1869, President john
sons impeachment trial began in the
Senate. Formal charges had been
brought several weeks before by the
House of Representatives; johnson
replied. on March O.. and sixty-one
years ago today his trial began.
It was the first time in the history
of any nation that the chief execu-
tive was placed on trial before one
of the branches of the law-making
power. sitting as a court, on charges
brought by the other branch.
He was charged with having re-
moved the secretary of state from
office in violation of law, and with
having delivered speeches derogatory
to Congress. Thirty-five senators
voted guilty" and 10 mot guilty.
This was less than the required two
thirds. and the impeachment pro-
ceedings failed.
The trial climaxed stormy admin
istration, during much Of which Con-
gress treated johnson almost with
contempt. Insulting references to
him were frequently made on the
floor of both houses.
The verdict of history comedies
with the acquittal verdict, however.
His errors were errors of Judgment,
rather than of the heart and. even
SO, these were not SO gross as some
of the errors Of his enemies.

Iibetian side.
Tibet isolated from the rest of the world and chooses
to remain The opposition to foreign encroachment

extent in China Is intensified in the land Of the Grand
Lama. Until 1922 there telegraphic commune

PRESIDENTIAL HANDSHAKING

Washington dispatches say that President Hoover will
soo. have decide whether not to continue tho pres
dental custom of spending from thirty minutes to
ho every day in shaking hands with tourists who troop
to the white house.
This custom is gracious thing. in way, suited to
a democracy The poorest in the country shake
the hand of the president, provided he can get to
Washington.
Yet all in ALL it is very foolish custom. The presi-
dent is very busy and needs every bit of energy
he has He should not be obliged to shake the hands
of 500 more strangers every day of his life.
We won't quarrel with the president If he decides to
discontinue the practice
