Of excellent standing, against whose char
acter there had been no attack, or even
suspicion could not find any legal means
of preventing her photograph from being
debased to advertising uses. For BUSH
ness concern to take, or procure, the pho
tograph of a respectable person without
the consent and over the protest of the
original to use it as label for goods on
the market will strike he fairminded cit
izen as an outrage.
And yet Mr. Adams shows that there is
no law in New York to prevent such
treatment Of a woman in that state, how
ever far above reproach she may be, and
that most of the other states have sim
liar lack of legislation on the subject.
The case Of the young woman whom Mr..
Adams represented ably, but ineffeetively
is only one of many instances in which
private rights have been infringed recent
w in a manner that is calculated to arouse
the resentment and indignation of the
right-thinking citizen. 1t win be remem-
bered that the family of Mrs. Schuyler
who was conspicuous in lifetime for phi
lanthroplc work, were unable to prevent
the exhibition of her statue at the Co
lumbar exposition to typify Woman as
a Philanthropist." The supreme court of
Michigan has decided that a widow can
not enjoin a manufacturer of cigars from
using the name and portrait of her late
husband to designate a brand of cigars.
More important still is the English case
recently decided, that regular physician
has no remedy if he prescribes a patent
medicine and the owner of the medicine
publishes that fact in his advertisement
Of his patent cure.
These instances and many others that
could be given prove that there is cry
spectacle privacy.
No newspaper, no business firm, no pat
emit medicine concern-nobody-ha the
right, or should be permitted, to use the
photograph of a respectable woman for
advertising purposes, or take other liber-
ties with private persons such as have
become frequent in these prying days
when indecency seems to flourish.
The legislatures of our forty-fve states
meet frequently and sometimes seem to be
very hard up for something to do. Here
is a subject to which they may apply
their efforts in a manner that will afford
much-needed protection of respectable
privacy and stop abuses which are often
carried to a point that provokes the out
ragged parties or their friends and defend
ers to become self-constituted executors of
what should be the law and its admins
tration by our courts of justice.

GENEROUS GENERAL ALeER.

The very enthusiastic. not to say ex-
travagant, endorsement Of President
Roosevelt recently given by General AL
ger and his declaration that Roosevelt
should be reelected show that whatever
else may be said Of the ex-secretary Of
war, he cannot be justly charged with
spitefulness. When we recall a bit Of
history Of recent date we must concede
that the MICHIGAN soldier-statesman is
generous and forgiving to very rare de-
gree.
The man whom he now lauds to the
skies and would have honored still fur
Their by the people of the United States
was one of his bitterest official enemies
when Alger was secretary of war and
Roosevelt then an officer in the army.
1t was Roosevelt who proposed and ac-
tually wrote the famous round robin"
attack upon Secretary Alger which was
sent to President Mckinley from the
American camp at Santiago Roosevelt
was exceedingly active ln'this proceeding.
He procured most Of the signatures that
appeared on that document and in other
ways endeavored to bring the, secretary
Of war into disfavor with the president
and disrepute with the public.
The round robin FASTENED the retire
ment of Alger from the cabinet and was
at first very bitterly resented by him and
his friends. At that time he certainly
had no love for Roosevelt, but his feel
ings toward that eminent gentleman seem
to have undergone a wondrous change.
The kind-hearted old gentleman who is
ambitious to obtain the chair left vacant
by Senator Mcmillan, now heaps Goals of
fire on Roosevelt's head by proclaiming
him as a great and good man, a model
president and several other great things
1t would be a very graceful act if Presi-
dent Roosevelt could manage to drop a
delicate hint that General Alger would
make mighty good senator for Michigan.
Such an exchange of courtesies would be
pleasing to many of the friends of both
these able statesmen and might remove
all bitterness from the memory of the
Santiago round robin

STARTED A BANK ON
ST AND SUIT CASE

Mr. Durham gave a sealed package mark
ed $1,000 currency" to leading business
man to put in his safe over night. This
was whispered about and gave the new
bank big reputation.
Meanwhile Mr.. Durham had not spent
one cent or paid one bill in the town. The
first day the bank was opened all the
patriotic people who had been crying for
a bank rushed IN with their money. Next
day Mr.. Pleasant Durham began to pay
up.
Dong even better than I expected"
was Durham's account of the banking
business of the town, and on several occa-
sions he had influential men come in be-
hind the railing to see the safe, in which
at such times were lunches of bank bills
tied up in bundles Of $500 and $1,000, with
loose bills flung about in an abandon Of
riches.
Last Monday evening Mr.. Pleasant
Durham disappeared from Elnora. The
bank did not open next day. II was OPEN
ed by the sheriff two days later. The safe
combination was found. In the strong
box were two two-cent stamps and some
notes that could not be negotiated outside
Elnora. The entire community was hard
hit.

" to the use of convicts in road work.
1t is uncertain whether the Texas legis-
lature will enact such law as the re-
cent Democratic convention I'm that state
called for. but we are quite sure that the
Texas legislature could do nothing that
would be more beneficial to the state. We
would like to see some southern state put
its entire available convict force to work
on its public roads for 20 years.
The results would, we believe, within
one-fourth of that time convince other
states of the wisdom and profits of the
policy and insure such an era of road i'm
provement in the south as has never been
dreamed of. one that would add hundreds
of millions to the value of the lands and
their crops in this section.
