PROTECT THE PRESIDENT.

The necessity of protecting the Presi-
dent has been emphasized not only by
the assassination of President McKin-
ley but by threats to shoot President
Roosevelt. The police of several cities
have under arrest several men who
have declared their intention to put the
new Executive out of the way. There
is little doubt that some if not all Of
these men are mentally unbalanced,
and that some or Item are incapable OF
executing their threats, but it is the
mentally unbalanced man who has so
far done the mischief, and the police
are doing right to arrest them. If So
called harmless cranks even. were
promptly taken care of there would be
less crime in this country charged up
to irresponsible persons.
The President of the Republic is the
highest officer commissioned by it's cit =
izens ito execute their laws. In the
discharge of his duty he should be CIV
en- every protection possible. He
stands for the real rulers of the land
and an attack on him should be regard
ed as an assault on the citizens, there
fore treason. If there were any
doubt about such construction, itshould
be dispelled by the fact that the peo-
pie in this country are the State and
an assault on them directly or indirect
ly is an attack on the State. An attack
on the State is treason, and treason is
the worst crime of which man can
be guilty, hence may be punished the
most severely. The severest punish
ment for treasonable offenses might in
crease the protectin of the President.
The experiment is certainly worth try,
ing since it is our duty to afford him
ample protection.

destined to become pressing question
and 1t should be given the most careful
thought and promptest action of which
the people of this country are capable.

PARKER
Gives the Account Of the
Shooting.

James B. Parker, the colored man
who was first to seize Czolgosz, gives
the following account ofthe shooting Of
President Mckinley:
Il was next in line behind Czolgosz.
| tried several times to get in front of
him, but he pushed me back with his
elbow There was nothing in his
actions 20 indicate what he intended
doing. Just in front of him was lit
tie girl. Sheshooks hands with the
President, and then came Czolgosz.
He did not try to shake hands with
the President with his left hand, as
has been stated. In his right hand
he held the revolver, wrapped in a
handkerchief. Seeing it, the Presi-
dent thought his hand was sore and
put out his hand as if to take the an
archist's left hand. AS he did so,
Czolgosz fired twice. Everybody
seemed TO be struck with astonish-
ment as they heard the shots, and no
one moved for a moment except my
self.
Some way I did not lose my pres
ence of mind. | leaned forward and
struck him in the nose with my right
fist, making his nose bleed, and with
my left hand reached to take the pis-
tol from him. | missed the pistol
and grabbed him by the throat and
choked him. He raised his right
hand and pointed it either at me or
the President; | could not tell which.
| am sure that he meant to fire again.
At that moment he up with his right
hand with the burning handkerchief
in it, and the special officer grabbed
the pistol and took it away from him.
Then marine jumped on the officer
| and took the pistol from him, and the
crowd commenced to kick and pun
mel him, thinking he had done the
shooting. A man whom | believe to
bea secret service officer gave Czol-
gosz terrible blow in the face, which
threw him and me down. Then the
officer who was being attacked through
mistake kept yelling to the crowd,
I'm not the man. I'm a special of
ficer. There's the man, over there,
pointing to where had Czolgosz on
the floor. We had struggled some
seconds on the floor before the exposi-
tion police reached us, and they stop
ped him with two awful kicks on the
head. believe that my striking
Czolgosz kept him from emptying his
pistol, and probably prevented the
President from being shot again: j
am more than glad to have been the
right man in the right place, not fol
my benefit, but for the benefit of my
race. Out of the 100000 white people
on the ground, am glad it came to I
colored man to do this act"

FORAKER'S ESTIMATE.

Senator Foraker's estimate of Presi-
dent Roosevelt will now be recalled
with interest. On hearing tho news of
the tragedy at Buffalo Senator Foraker
after paying high tribute to Presi-
dent Mckinley, said to an inquiry
from reporter:
"The country sustains a great shock,
and if the President should die will
sustain great loss, but after all it
will be just cause for sincere congrat-
ulation that so able accomplished, so
representative an American as the
Vice President will succeed at once to
Lne office. Much has been said in n
thoughtless way by cartoons to pref
udice the people against Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt. l have known
him well for twenty years, and do not
hesitate to say that he is admirably
equipped for the great duty that may
fall to him. He is learned in books
and learned in human nature. No one
KNOWS better than he the different
sections and peoples of our country.
He is lamiliarly acquainted with both
the great East and the great West, and
thoroughly appreciates the relation of
our country to all other nations. He
is familiar will all great international
questions with which we are dealing,
and no one, not even President McKin-
ley, is more familiar lAan he with the
questions and politics relating to oui
domestic affairs, and the government
of our insular acquisitions.
He is perhaps the most fit man in
the nation to succeed President Nc
Kinley. He is intensely American
and, withal wise and conservative
If he should be called upon to take up
the work so happily conducted to this
point by President Mckinley, he will
go forward with it in the same spirit
and with the same magnificent re-
suits"

PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

The number of inquiries upon the
subject which have reached this office
suggest the utility of an article con-
yeying some information on the sub
ject of the law of the Presidential SUI
cession. At the time Garfield was
shot and for some years later the
Presidential Office passed to the Vice
President and from him to the Speak
er of the House of Representatives,
and further than that no provision had
been made. This was recognized to
be dangerous condition of affairs and
in 1885, at the first session of the For
ty-ninth Congress, a law was enacted
which provided that the succession OF
the Ca0icet be in the following orde:
Secretary of State.
Secretary of Treasury,
Secretary of War.
Attorney General,
Postmaster General,
Secretary Of the Navy,
Secretary Of the Interior
At the time this law was passed
there was no such Office as Secretary
of Agriculture, and whether the sue
Cession would extend to him by con-
struction is moot point. So far,
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-09-21

however, as Secretary Wilson is con-
cerned, it is immaterial, as he having
been born an alien, would be ineli-
gible anyhow. 1t has been asked
what becomes of the office of Vice
President when it's incumbent sue
ceeds to the Presidency? The ans
wer is that it falls temporarily into
allegiance. There ceases to be any
Vice President.N His only active func-
tion is to preside over the delibera-
tions of the Senate and that function
devolves upon the President of that
body pro tenn, who at this time Is
Senator William p. Frye, of Maine.

LOYAL LITTLE AMERICAN.
Youthful Travellers Enthusiasm Up.
on His Return from a Trip
to Europe.

A teacher who spent her vacation
abroad tells the following story:
One of her fellow passengers on the
steamer that brought her home was
little boy about ten years old. As the
steamer approached New York the
child grew exultantly happy and every
little while he would say: "We're al
most home now" He talked of the
various objects they passed as though
he were really quite at home. Finally
the teacher said: "Do you live in New
York;"
NO" answered he. 81 live in St
Paul, MINI"
Miss r. remarked: "St. Paul?
You are still long way from home"
This is just as good as home" said
the loyal little fellow. "it's America"
The young travellers patriotism so
pleased the Columbus lady that she
asked him about his travels and
learned why he was so glad to see
America, says the Presbyterian. He
had been in Europe over six months
a part of which time had been spent in
school in Sweden. He had seen much
that was interesting in the different
European countries, but was as
pleased as he could possibly be on once
more seeing his native land and stoutly
declared that America was THE best
country in the world"

A MAMMOTH INDEX.
of british Museum List
That Has Occupied Twenty
Years.

The index of books at the British
museum is at last complete. after 20
wears of hard work, says the ST. James
Gazette. When the printing of the
great catalogue began in 1881 the
manuscript catalogue then used con-
tained 100000 references to about
half as many bookstores titles ac-
counting for the difference between
the figures. Since then something like
half million new books have been re-
ceived at the museum, their average
yearly number being now 4G, 900, The
preparation of the printed catalogue
has, of course. been enormously eX-
pensive. 1t was hoped at the start
to reduce the cost by issuing it to
tion of &3 los. a subscriber received
all the parts published in the year.
As the number of volumes issued an
nually, however, rose from IS to 30,
while the subscription remained the
same. the price of each volume fell
from the low sum of As. Sd. TO 2s. 4d,,
and the revenue from this source has
not been great. Only about 25o copies
of each issue are printed, and only
about so are circulated-hal of them
given awayl In all there are over GOO
volumes of the catalogue, containing
the titles of 1000, 600 books, The sub
iect index will be the great task of the
British museum in the new century,
1t is to be commenced at once, but will
not be ready for IS years at least.

REMARKABLE PAT HANDS.
Five Full Ones That Contained n
Wonderful Combination
of Numbers.

Inner club circles have been regaled
draw poker, in which five well-known
clubmen took part, says the Baltimore
Sun.
1t was at the home of one of the
members. Two new packs of 'caroa
were brought out, the seal of one was
cut and the cards shuffled. From this
pack cards we're dealt around to Sc
lect the dealer for the opening hand.
This done, the second pack of cards
was opened and shuffled by one of the
party, who handed it to the dealer,
who also shuffled. The pack was then
rendered for the usual cut, which was
done. A round of jackpots had been
agreed upon.
The player who had first say was an
insurance man. and he promptly
opened. Next was a. grain merchant,
who raised the opener. A member of
the stock exchange came next and he
saw the raise and went the limit bet
ter. A merchant well known for his
aggressive spirit sat next in line and
he quietly met all that had been bet
and raised the limit 1t was now
around to a railroadman, who was the
dealer. There was pause, and each
player inspected his cards with self
satisfied air The railroad man broke
the silence by meeting all bets ant
raising them the limit. Everybod.
j stayed in the game. The dealer asked
how many cards were wanted and eacf
! player in turn said none. The dealer
took none. He made a nominal bet ant
the call was passed all around.
At the showdown the hand in eacl
case was a full house and. beginning
with the first to the left of the dealer
as follows: Scvens and deuces, eight
and treys, mines and fours. tens AM
fves, aces and fives. The railroad maj
was the winner. He has had the card
as held by each player framed and eacl
player has a photograph of them a
