discovered reading Grimm's Fairy Tales in the original
Greek. Secretary Rainholes drawing plans for a model
tenement with nothing in 1t but bathrooms. The sound
of a telephone bell is heard. Secretary Rainholes signs
and leaves the room.
MAYOR HI HI-Strange that 80 few of the people of
suckerville can read Greek. II they could I would be
better understood. 1t is a heartbreaking task indeed to
try to establish a standard Of civic efficiency that shall
be fully Illustrative of the best thought of the lines of
endeavor considered to have been unnecessarily defunct
while the inequalities OF mind and matter are never OBJ
scured beyond the point of impact. Strange indeed.
Secretary Rainholes enters. As he opens the door the
sound OF bowling and groaning is heard. Mayor Hi HI
shudders.

for the afternoon newspapers, sire. They clamor for
news.
MAYOR HI HI-Inconsiderate persons! Do not they

of Fire, the brave, earnest has at last rem
dered his decision in the case of the uncouth Fire Chief.

little squad OF police, but the latter were
armed with night sticks. Despite their
advantage and the free use OF clubs the
police met with. desperate resistance.
Some OF them were picked up and hus-
tied into the street. Keenan, was fioored
by a blow. He claims he was struck by
a weapon. but the bruLse on his shoulder
might have been made by a good full

Ing at No. "a Essex street. as mis- assail-

To the Editor: We comfort ourselves
with the thought that our information is
so universal and so minute that no great
danger can come upon us unheralded,
especially in this liberty guarded New
World in which fate so kindly cast our
lots. But, with due apologies to Morse,
Edison, Maroon and Mergenthaler. and
all those genuises who have made the
whole world an open book to US, l doubt
if we are as well informed as to the
great and pregnant events of our time as
were our forbears of the stage coach,
quill pen and hand printing press era.
The vast volume and the multiplicity Of
information that is poured upon us
daily, If not hourly, confuses us or shuts
off the great events and issues. We
lose the sense of proportion. The gen
tlemen of the press present the swell
things of life-the royal tours, the yacht
races, the murder trials, the social hap
penings, &c.-so attractively that we are
not apt to dwell long enough on the
great things.
Thus l have seen little comment on
an event of last week, which in it's bear
ings seems to me to be the most i'm
portant of this generation. l mean the
bill which the United States Senate
passed by a vote of 50 to 10. to invest
the persons of ten citizens of the United
States with such sacredness that any
other mortal who raises an arm against
them in this country, or against any
foreign ruler while in this country shall
suffer death.
This is the punishment imposed on any
one who shall attempt to kill the Presi-
dent of the United States, or any one
upon whom the presidency may, by any
possible contingency devolve. While to
conspire, counsel, aid or even threaten
to kill is punishable with terms of i'm
prisOnment almost equivalent to life
term.
When that bill becomes a law, which
seems a certainty. a simple assault, not
only upon the President, but upon the
Vice President, the Speaker of the House,
the Secretary of the Treasurer, the
Secretary of State, the Secretary of War,
the Secretary of the Navy the Secretary
of the Interior, the Secretary OF Agricul-
ture. the Postmaster General or the At
torney General, can very easily be con-
strued into an attempt to kill and will
be punished with death.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-03-30
A MOST DANGEROUS MEASURE

And great as is the inherent injustice
of this measure it's danger lies in the
precedent, in the first step in this peril
Gus direction.
1t is hard to conceive OF anything
more at war with out ideals and insti-
tutions. The perpetuity of these institu-
tions depend on the equal protection by
law of all men in their life, liberty and
property.
The democratic form of government
the government of, by and for the peo-
pie, demands that every man who In any
office serves the public most when ne
cessary takes the risk Of bodily harm
incidental to the office. All officers
from the private soldier and the town
ship constable up take this risk. They
assume the office in that understanding.
1t is pretty well known that the oc-
cupant of the Presidential chair is IN
more danger of assassination than prl-
vate individual. When a man assumes II
he assumes along with it not only the du-
ties and responsibilities thereof, but also
such risks of bodily harm as the eleVa-
ton may bring.
The President, like every other public
officer, should be accorded every saIe-
guard not Incompatible with the genera
welfare. But no laws should be strained
and no dangerous presidents established
to add to his safety or to any other
mans.
Military men value their POSITIONS
largely because they are dangerous ana
thereby glorious. The President as ex-
officio commar. der in chief OF the army
is a semi military man. 1t does seem,
therefore, tb at he might look upon per-
sonaI risks, much as the soldier does.
What would be at once the least
harmful and the most effective would be
careful measures to prevent assassina-
ton rather than undemocratic and un-
American punishments to avenge it. An
archists and any other men who hold
and put into acts, tenets hostile to the
general good, should be expelled from
the country. But, to invest the persons
of ten or the person of one American
citizen with such saeredness that to as
sault him means death would be the
most dangerous step ever taken by our
race on this continent.
