" " 10 CITED recently the
NN/ comprehensive bill of the
federal department of
justice to punish at
tempts to take the life of the president
president or other officials in line
of succession, and to punish those who
seek TO overthrow organized govern
ment AS drawn and then reviewed it
seemed to leave nothing to be desired.
But as showing the thoroughness
with which the senate committee on
the judiciary is considering this gen.
eral subject and the care it is taking
to leave no loophole open whereby
murderousy inclined persons may
further their ends, it may be of inter-
est to note that this bill has been
favorably reported with two strong
amendments.
The first of these amendments pro-
vides that any person who shall within
the limits of the United States or any
place subject to the jurisdiction there
of, by spoken words, or by written or
printed words, uttered or published
another to kill the president or vice.
president of the United States. or any
officer thereof upon whom the power
and duties of the office of president of
the United States may devolve under
the Constitution and laws, shall be
punished by imprisonment not exceed
ing ten years,
The second amendment authorizes
and directs the secretary of war to
select and detail from the regular
army IL sufficient number of officers
and men to guard and protect the per-
son of the president of the United
States without any unnecessary dis
play, and to make special rules and
regulations us to dress, arms and
equipment and duties of said guard and
10 publish only such parts of those
rules and regulations as he may deem
proper. The additional expenses of the
guard $50 detailed are to be paid upon
the certificatioh of the secretary OF
war.
The purpose of each amendment is
plain, The first discourages even loose
blatherskiting when aimed at the life
of man in the line of the presidential
succession The second puts it up to
the secretary of war to guard the per-
son Of the president, with or without
the presidents consent. The amend
ments are timely

" VOTERS in Scranton should not
v forget the election of a city
y controller on Tuesday next.
In many of the Democratic
wards spirited fights over ward offices
are ON. These are likely to bring out a
large Democratic vote, which will nat
urally be of benefit to the candidacy of
Mr.. Costello. In some of the Republic
can stronghold wards there are no
fights to bring out the vote and this is
TO the disadvantage of Evan r. Morris,
the Republican nominee for controller.
There is just one way by which this
disadvantage can be overcome and that
is by Republicans deciding to do their
duty. No particular credit in a party
sense belongs to arvoter who votes
when his interest is so much aroused
that he could not, if he would, keep
away from the polls. 1t is when to
come out involves some exercise of will
power that fidelity to party is attested.
The office of city controller is of
great Importance and Evan r. Morris
has the ability and experience in city
affairs to fill it satisfactorily. Elect
him and the city will not need to guess
wildly at the amount of its outstand-
ing indebtedness. Records will be kept
In some system in the controllers office
and both officials and taxpayers will
know where they are at.

Up to Congress.

~ NE WEEK from next Monday
is the day fixed for the presi-
~ dental electors of Cuba to
meet in Havana and elect the
first president of the republic of Cuba.
There is no uncertainty about their
choice. General Palma will be elected
unanimously The doubtful part of the
programme comes later.
With the election of president and
congressman the members of the
Cuban lower house have already been
elected, the senatorial elections being
near-will come the starting of the
new goverlunentTs The first Monday in
April has beensflXed as the day for the
convening of the Cuban congress. The
first duty of that congress, as the
Washington Star points out, will be to
ratify treaty with the United States,
embodyinS in permanent form the stlp-
ulations OF the Platt amendment. An
ordinance of the new CubaR constitu-
tion provides for the making of the
treaty, but it will have to be ratified
by the Cuban senate before the deal is

That Cuba shall never enter u treaty

sumed which the revenues of the island
will be inadequate to liquidate
That Cuba shall consent for the
United States to intervene to preserve
the independence of the island.
That the acts of the temporary milf
tary government shall be ratified.
That existing sanitary plans shall be
carried out as far as possible.
That the title to the Isle of Pines
shall be determined by future treaty.
That the government of Cuba shall
sell or lease to the United States lands
necessary for coaling or naval stations.
Should the American congress not
provide ere that time substantial relief
for the economic stagnation of cuba,

the 92uban senate would ratify the
promised treaty? And IL it should re-
