A NOTED DETECTIVE.

CHICAGO, May 23.-The Times to NOR
row will publish long article reviewing
the career of Sam Felker, who has come
forward SO prominently in connection with
Doyle, and turned over to director of treas
ury duplicate of government bond plates.
1t says he has been prominently before the
country in the guise of detective more
than twenty years in one way or another.
During this period he has been identified
with neatly every important criminal case
that has received the attention of the au-
thorities from Maine to California, Texas
to Minnesota, and never failed to claim he
could turn up the right man. In hundreds
of cases has bled all parties interested to
the extent of thousands of dollars, and
yet so farSas can be learned, never sent
but one or two men to the penitentiary,
and these only because it was his private
interest to do so. The report further gives
the opinion of him held by Col. Whitley,
| formerly of secret service, as published in
his book on noted criminals

fidelity as private trusts and that no di
version from the original should be per-
mitted 1t is a mockery to common sense
to displace tried and faithful public SER
wants in order to provide place for
hungary applicants who may prove as
worthless as they are voracious. No sane
man acts so in his private
affairs. The use of public patronage to con-
troll or direct people in their choice of can
didates is grave political crime 1t sub
verts the principles of representative gov
ernment and tends to make the servant a
master, to the common debasement of the
people. If it is the mission of the present
party organization to go forward in the
spirit of its platform it should succeed
If it fails to come up to
the full measure of its promise
it should perish. Party obligations set
lightly upon my shoulders call upon me
for party service was genuine surprise,
one not likely to be repeated in my life
time. 1t came unsought and should not
be declined without good reasons. Such
exist in my case. Personal and private
duties in which public take no interest de
mand that my energies be devoted to their
fulfillment. therefore I decline the
proffered position. To say |
