Secret Service Man.
President Roosevelt has steadily refused
to permit any police or detective protection
and is not aware that secret service Of
ficer is in and about the White House at
hours when many callers are coming in to
see the President.
This officer quietly keeps an eve on all
arrivals. There is always the danger that
some crank or evil-disposed person may
enter the White House with no good pur-
poses In view. President Roosevelt has
Deen accessible to an unusual degree, and
me me proper authorities do not propose that
this accessibility shall be imposed upon.
Inc presence of the officer atsth White
house has revived stories of warnings re-
ceived by the secret service bureau, but
the presence of the officer is merely pre-
caution that really ought to be taken until
the number of callers upon the President
decrease.

brought against him has been considered
as slap at Governor Dole Judge Humph-
reyS and Governor Dole are anything but
warm friends, and the former charged that
the latter was at the back of all the
charges made here against him. The state
ment is that friends of Governor Dole ere
now on their way here from San Francisco
