MERCHANTS FORGET
TO LOCK THEIR DOORS.
Big Store on Broad Open Last Night
Roundsman Tells of Finding
Bank Doors Unlocked.

While Officer Schleif was going his
rounds last night he discovered that the
door of the Five and Ten Cent Store was
unlocked and on the turning Of the knob
it opened Mr.. Schleif was much sur
prised and after taking a general survey
of the store and seeing nothing to arouse
his suspicious he sent for the manager.
When he arrived. Mr.. Schleif went into
the store and searched it from bottom.
to top, but found nothing disturbed nor
any sign Of robbers.
tionally left unlocked by the last man
in it.
1t is surprising but yet a fact that the
officers, who are required upon going on
duty and just before coming off. to try all
the doors on their beats. often find them
unlocked. Large retail establishments
and even banks are found open. One of
the men in speaking of it said, Not long
ago I was trying my doors, and upon
turning the knob of one of the biggest
banks in Richmond I found it open. 1t
nearly scared me to death. I telephoned
to the station and the officials were noti-
fed We went through the building, but
found nothing. Craftsmen don't unlock
and go through the front door
Such things will happen and they are
acts Of which any man may be guilty
1t often happens that it is the most care
full and particular man who leaves the
door unlocked. A mans forgetting the
thing which is most upon his mind is
phenomenon which cannot be explained.

TRIED TO PLEASE EVERYBODY
nix and water Attitude on Trust
of Commerce,

The Presidents message to Congress
was the subject of much comment at the
clubs and in the hotel Hobbies last night.
1t generally met with much adverse critl-
ciSm.
The general feeling seems to be that
Mr.. Roosevelt was bidding for the Pres
idential nomination in 1904, and was max
ing an effort to please everybody.
Mr.. S. S. P. Patteson. a prominent law
yer, speaking of the message last night,
said: Il 90 not think the President has
suggested any remedy for the trusts
which is at all practical [ am satisfied
that neither he nor any other Republican
ever will.
The trusts and the tariff are tied to-
gether and there can be no reform or re-
lief from the trusts except by statesman
like revision of the tariff.
SINEWS OF REPUBLICAN ISSUE.
The Republicans derive their party
funds largely from contributions made
directly from the trusts. and the admins
tration will never put its hands on them
"All Of the Presidents junketing
speeches have foreshadowed his milk and
water attitude on this most important
subject. The Republicans believe in run
ming the country for the benefit of the
Republican party and not upon broad
national basis. His recommendation as TO
the increase in the navy is ali Democratic
doctrine and does not sound like the
Republican party. Mr.. Cleveland began
rebuilding the navy, which the Republi-
can party had neglected for many years.
His message is {; bid for nomination III
1904, and is a weak effort to please every
body. I would like to see a man like
Richard Olney President. We would then
have a good, honest OutspOken MESA ge
