AN OLD JOKE RE-
VIVED SUCCESSFULLY
April Fool Arrives Before His Time
and Many People are Fooled.

An incident that supplied an unlim-
tied amount of amusement for spec
tators occurred on Oregon street near
the White House the other evening.
One of Zeiger's porters, bent on fun,
strung a long string across the street
and attached a pocket book to the end
that reached the sidewalk. No one
could discover the string but the rat
purse was easily visible in the light
that shone from the store windows. A
crowd stood over by the Western I'm
ion and watched the antics of those
who tried to pick up the purse as they
passed.
First comes dapper looking colored
girl She concluded that she was
playing in great good luck and pouncetl
on the pocket book. She got mad and
switched herself down the street when
she saw that a joke had been played on
her.
The next man was Seedy looking
hobo He looked around furtively and
after convincing himself that he was
not being watched. stealthily reached
for the purse. The thing moved foot
before his hand encountered the paw
| mig. He got up and busted.
Next quite a crowd came along ano

| The porter jerked the string and the
purse landed in the middle of the
street wher cit remained while the
man and his companions were making

purse our of sight.

onlookers at the opposite side OF tn
street immensely enjoyed the whole
proceedings. and many loud laugi

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

~ shall take the oath of Office in obedience
to your request, sir, and in doing 80 1t shall
be my aim to continue absolutely unbrOken
the policy of President McKinley, which has
given peace, prosperity and honor to our be-
% loved country. For the present the cabinet
will remain the same.'
These words from the new president certainly
should allay all fear of those who had the idea
that Roosevelt would run things with a high
hand. 1t was natural to suppose that he would
want his own cabinet, but he wants no distur-
bance in the official family at this time. Those
who know Roosevelt best, know that he would
follow in the footsteps of McKinley's publ lc
policy. Why should he not? Mckinley won
the esteem of the American people by that poll
cy and any change would be at the risk of his
own reputation.
The country need not fear President Roose-
velts course He isa young man, but he has
had ample experience in life and especially in
public affairs to weigh we'll every public act and
especially if that policy would be at variance
with the policy pursued by Mckinley. The
PcsT has no fears of the Roosevelt admins

PROTECTION FOR THE PRESIDENT.


TIME feeling that 1t is impossible under ex-
L isting laws adequately to punish the anar-
chist who attempted to take the life Of President
Mckinley has led to a widespread desire for
measures better to protect the Chief of State from
the attacks of those who strike at the govern
ment through his person. Public sentiment
would doubtless approve law prescribing an ex-
tremely severe penalty for any attack upon the
President, but it is not easy to devise legislation
TO that end because the constitution of the
United States was drafted with the set purpose
of protecting the people from their rulers, with
out any thought of the necessity Of protecting
the rulers from some of the people.
The founders of the government were extreme
ly particular about the bill of rights safeguard
ing individual citizens and about protecting the
representatives of the people from arrest during
their sessions. They had before them examples
of arbitrary power, and knew how Charles had
trampled on Parliamentary opposition and in.
vaded the House Of Commons. They did not
dream, however, that in republic the free choice
of the voters could be in any danger of violence,
and so they left him to the same protection of
the law given to any other citizen. They did
not foresee that his danger would be greater, and
that before this time three Presidents would be
shot down, not because of any personal enmity,
but because they happened to stand at the head
of the government. 1t may be doubted if in
case they had foreseen the danger, they would
have been willing to guard against it, so fearful
were they of surrounding the President with
anything of the divinity that doth hedge king.
Under the English common law an attack on
the head of the State was treason, but the
American democracy feeling that no just ruler
could be in danger, and also feeling that any
such law Of treason might be used by an un-
scrupulous President to punish opponents, as it
had been IN England where ministers in favor
had sent ministers out Of favor to the block,
changed the common law rule and declared
"Treason against the United States shall consist
only in levying war against them or in adhering
to their enemies, giving them aid and comtor" ~
