Peculiar Friendship.

History, in politics, as in other
ayOcations Of life, teaches that men
are sometimes forced to pray for deliy-
erance from their friends, and in this
state just at present we have before
US undeniable proof that history does
not teach enormously, especially as
appertains to politics.

his cause.
Several days ago Judge Graves paid
Richmond a business visit and the
INTELLIGENCER is pleased to note the
favorable comment by the leading
papers Of that city appropOs to his
candidacy.
The Democrat says; Judge Alex
ander Graves, Of Lexington, was a
pleasant caller at the Democrat office
Tuesday afternoon. Judge Graves, as
is well known, desires to serve the
people Of Missouri as one Of the judges
Of the supreme court. For many
years he has been one Of the most
prominent members Of the Lexington
bar, and during the time has also
figured conSpicuously in politics. He
is a native of Mississippi, Vas edu-
Gated at the University Of Virginia;
came to Missouri and settled in Lex
ington in 1869. AS a lawyer his fame
has not been confined to his own
county. In 1882 he ably represented
his district in congress. Judge Graves
is a man Of dignitied bearing, inter
esting in conversation, impreSSing one
as a man Of wide reading and strong
intellectuality-the kind of man Of
which %iuriSts are made. He is q
democrat of the old-fashioned kind.
Should the people of Missouri see fiji
to give him the office he seeks, he
would undoubtedly fill it with honor
to himself and the state.

Graves, Of Lexington, who will be q
candidate for the nomination fol

Cen. EI.ld Anniversary.

The Gene Field ANNIVERSARY
Today marks the tifty-tHt annlver-
sary OF the birth Of Gene Field, the
gifted writer Of child verse, noted
journalist and beloved OF every news
paper man in Missouri, especially
those whose good fortune 1t was to
know him and grasp his hand as friend
and companion.
Gene Field was a native Of Missouri
and the state never produced a more
nlustriouS son. Born at st. Louis,
November I'd, 1850, at an early period
Of life he went east and spent some
time In the states OF Massachusetts
and Vermont, returning TO his native
soil, however, to complete his educa-
cation at the state university at Col
umbia. When twenty-three years OF
age he entered upon the field OF jour
nalism and did splendid work for
newspapers in this state and in Colo
RADIO until 1888, when he became a
member OF the staff Of the Daily News
at Chicago, with which publication he
was long connected. He was a pro-
Queer OF both poetry and prose and
wrote with an ease and an elegance OF
diction that were at once apparent to
those who followed his composition in
either the poem Of sentiment or the
story Of fact. In fact he fulfilled the
measure of the polished scholar. Wit
was ever his to command and after
going to Chicago he gained the well
earned SObriquet Of ''the Chicago
humoriSt." His child poems were
true to the surroundings and charac-

Judge Graves Candidacy.
1t is generally conceded in this sec
ton Of Missouri that the Hon. Alex
ander Graves, Of Lafayette county,
will develop into a most formidable
candidate for one Of the vacancies on
the supreme bench of the state at the
next general election and the INTEL
LIeENCER desires to say once again,
with added emphasis, that no better
selection could be made by the Mis-
souri, democracy. A man of splendid
ability, OF the higher order of legal
training and of a natural judicial
turn Of mind, he will add strength to
the personnel of MisSouri's court OF
last resort and his untiring energy
will mean work on his part more than
commensurate with the salary he will
receive. No man in Missouri can

10 HUNT ANARCHISTS
Gage viii Urge That Congress
Take Suitable Action.
SECRET SERVICE WORK
To Be Extended to This Is
Secretary'S Idea.
;CRET SERVICE WORK

Washington, Sept. 26.-In his annual re-
port to congress next December secre-
tary Gage, Of the treasury, will recon-
mend that an appropriation be made of
size sufficient to enable the secret service
bureau to employ men for the suppression
Of anarchy, just as detectives are now
employed to run down counterfeiters. The
secretary, it is understood, will ask for
$4,000 for the maintenance Of the bureau,
as against 100000 which was appropriated
last year.
There IS great deal of popular mis-,
apprehension concerning the duties and
jurisdiction of the secret service of the
treasury department, and this lack of
knowledge is being increased by certain
pyrotechnicaI editors, who are surprising
" ignorant of me object or purpose of
this division. These editor men have been
bowling for reorganization of the bureau
on the ground of alleged inemciency. In
their misplaced zeal they have even
charged the assassination not only Of
President Mckinley, but of Lincoln and
Garfield as well, TO what they term the
negligence of secret service detectives.
Now. as a matter of fact the law I'M
der which the secret service exists. es-
pecially TO the suppression of counter
feiters, the language in the last appropri-
alton act reading as follows: For ex-
penses Incurred in detecting, arresting.
x7,1s
dealers in counterfeit money, and per
sors engaged in counterfeiting treasury
notes, and other securities of the United
States, and of foreign governments, as
well as the coin of the United States and
of foreign governments, $40, 600" It will
be seen that there is nothing in this pro-
vision of the law which even authorizes
the detail OF secret service men as a per-
sOnal guard for the president Of the Unit
ed States. or any other public official.
Whenever such detail has been made, the
suggestion has come from the White
House.
The law does not contemplate The run
ming down of anarchists or the investiga-
ton Of anarchist consplracies, and what
ever work in that direction now being
done by secret service men is technically
not in conformity to the statute under
which the bureau is operated. 1t is for
the purpose Of extending the usefulness
and authority of theb ureau that Secre-
tary Gage intends to recommend a sub
stantial increase over last years aprro-
priation.
lie viii urge that the law be framed
in such a way that anarchy, conspiracy
against the life of the president. and per-
haps other high federal officials. be put on
the same basis as COMMUNICATING
so that the secret service may conduct
its Investigations in such fields.
