certain that the State would be Re-

nominated DR.. Garvin. radical of ra-
dicals-for the Single Tax, absolute
free trade, free silver, greenbacks,
government ownership of public util-

Garvin was elected by majority of

garded as having the strongest Re-
publican party of any. Organism does
not seem to be absolutely fatal there.

unless it IS well built, and architecture
Is primarily a work of bricks and
mortar, contracts, and day labor.
The beauty of primitive cottages,
built by peasants in England and on
the Continent, is due not to the build
ers' knowledge of architecture, but to
the fact that they built their homes TO
suit their idea of comfort, and did not
put III gables in unsuitable places,
rafters which supported nothing, or
jigsaw work in every conceivable

compact made by the representatives
Of the warning Republican factions in
Delaware after the last election. Not
only this, but Senator Ball, before the
removal of Miss Todd from office, i'm
pressed, or tried TO impress, so he
says, upon Mr.. Payne the fact that
the compact referred TO did not pro-
vide for creating vacancies by re-
moval before the expiration of term
of Office. Now, Miss Todd had served
but one year of q second term of four
years, to which she had been appoint
ed in 1902. Mr.. Payne, therefore,
not only violated statute law, but he
was guilty also of an action which ii
might not be parliamentary, perhaps,
to characterize by the proper words
What is needed, under present con
ditions, IS, in our opinion-and the
New York Tribune" voices our views
Fan entire change of heart and
a conversion of the department to

this to be brought about under the
leadership of reactionary back mum

young men OF the Fifty-eighth Congress.
He had been admitted to the New York
bar. and had served as assistant adjutant
general of volunteers in the Spanish

in politics. In the face OF big odds he
made the race in the Thirteenth district
against James W. Perry. Republican.
whose supporters expected to have an
easy time OF it. Instead, Captain Har-
rison made a whirlwind campaign
throughout the district. which comprises
the Murray Hill section in the heart IF

and sweeps in a part of Eighth Avenue
and was returned a winner over the too
confident Perry.
About the only man who was not sur

who had put in such systematic work
that he had every vote accounted for the
night before election. That he has been
selected by Chief Murphy as one Of the
State committeeman. TO sit with David

ers, is taken to indicate not only an ap-
probation of his own political ability.
but full realization OF the latent power

Why Our Policemen Are Untidy.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times;
In a recent edition of your paper a CORE
spondent, who signs himself Reader" COM
plains of the untidy appearance of the members
of the Metropolitan police force. Mr.. Reader
compares our local policemen with the police
men Of the other large cities of the Union. and
says that in no other city Except Chicago are
the men allowed TO patrol their beats in such
an mtidy condition.
But Mr.. Reader failed to mention that in
nearly all the large cities the compensation Of
policeman is much higher than it is in this
city, and. moreover, the tidy uniforms" are
furnished by the municipal government, free Of
charge. When the fact that the pay Of a
private, at $50 per month (Which is less money
than is canned by a hodcarrier, working the
same number Of days per month";, is taken into
consideration l don't see how Reader can
expect him to he Harry Lehr or a Berry
Wall, and at the same time support himself and
family. ] think that our local government has
displayed considerable nerve in expecting
men 10 go into such places Willow Tree
Alley, and daily take their lives in their own
hands, for the liberal compensation of 81 per
diem, without requiring them to be dudes on
less pay than a hodcarrier. Respectfully

On Forbidden Ground.

The announcement that Don Jaime, the
son OF Don Carlos, has been attending a
bull fight at San Sebastian, and has been
strolling about the streets OF that popu-
lar summer resort, in spite OF the laws
of exile in existence against him. and
notwithstanding the orders issued for
his arrest, IL caught on Spanish terri
tory. serves TO call attention once more
to the reluctance on the part OF gov
eminent authorities. TO resort 10 extreme
measures in such cases, realizing, as
they do. the mistake of investing pre-
tenders. exiles, and conspirators with
anything that can be construed as an
aureole of martyrdom. +
Thus the French government was per-
fectly we'll aware of the frequent visits
OF the Duke of Orleans to Paris and to
Nice in the train of celebrated prima
donna, disguised as her servant, and
only proceeded to arrest and imprison
him for his infraction of the law Of exile
when he publicly announced his arrival
in the French capital for the purpose Of
entering the ranks of the army. Then
the authorities could no longer affect to
ignore his presence.

Alleges Cruelty to Children.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
was greatly surprised when | read the ar
tice in the Sunday edition Of The Times, as
also in a previous issue, wherein the state
ment is made that the former superintendent OF
our Industrial Home School, Mr.. f. f. Nc
Caslin, was compelled 10 resign on account OF
petty annoyances and that the investigation was
unfair TO him.
There was a most thorough and impartial
investigation made by the Humane Society,
which disclosed the most inhuman cruelties 70
the little children on his part The case was
afterward turned over TO the Commissioners,
who y le another most thorough investigation,
the result Of which was still cruelties, and
Mr.. f. +. McCaslin was compelled to resign.
II is unfair to the Humane Society, which Is
doing such good in midst, and also to our
noble Commissioners, TO assert that Mr.. Nc
Caslin unjustly dealt with. The evidence
is all on file.

hear from England that relations
between Lord Roberts, the commander
chief, and Lord Kitchener, who is
the generalissimo of the British forces in
India, are exceedingly strained Just at
present, owing to the refusal OF Lord
Roberts to take any official notice OF a
short list OF officers whom Kitchener had
recommended for special reward for ser
vices in South Africa. Lord Kitchener,
since he has been IN India, has repeat
eddy telegraphed and written about the
matter TO Lord Roberts without recetv-

Political Gossip

Planning Trouble for Depew.

While the inimitable "Our Chauncey"
AS the New York Junior Senator likes
TO be popularity known-is enjoying thu
latter part OF his summer vacation IN
New England. some OF his Tammapy
Hall friends have been giving undoubted
evidence of their active interest in the
selection OF his successor a little more
than year hence. The Senator's term
expires March 3. 1905. Before the choice
of the Legislature which is TO ill Mr..
Depew's seat. they hope TO arouse gem
eral interest in the election OF Senators
by the people and are working hard to
accomplish that end. At the meeting OF
the Democatic State committee OF the
Empire State at Albany few days ago.
the subject was brought up by Charles z.
Murphy, the Tammany chieftain. him
self
On his recommendation the committee
adopted a resolution that the call ,or
the State convention OF next year shall
provide for the nomination of a party
candidate and that the method of cnoice
shall be party question Thus is De-
mocracy to be brought into line for 4
popular vote for Senator. Many States
have at various times Endorsed the
direct election of Senators and the ham
mer-away policy seems to have been &C.
termined upon TO bring the matter ie-
fore the voters of New York State. Nr.
Platt and Mr.. Depew will probably view
the activity OF their Democratic friends
with great complacency outwardly but
it is just as certain they will not fail to
keep tabs on whatever strength he
movement may draw TO itself.

Eliminating Political Pull.

The announced decision Of the Presi-
dent TO make future appointments in
the consular service principally from the
list of those men who have served the
Government In lesser capacities abroad
is not likely to cause any great amount
OF worriment for some time to come,
either to party leaders or prospective
candidates for Office. II is true there has
been a considerable movement in this
direction for a number of years. but the
appointments have been nevertheless Sc
cured like all other political places.
This fact alone is sufficient proof that
men selected at random, because they
had the requisite pull, will assay about
10 per cent fine and the rest alloy
AS it is the Presidents intention to
promote only the good ones. and as
some of our eonsuls can hardly help but
be inefficient at less than 81 900 a year,
prospective applicants will hardly give
up hope in consequence of the announce
ment just made. The best result OF the
new order will be, however. %
cheer on the men who. tempo
rarily expatriated. are really do
ing good work abroad in the exploitation
of American manufactures. There 8
room for the merit system in any bust
ness concern like the consular service.
and President Roosevelt will win hearty
commentator from the business men OF
the country. even if not from hungry Of
fice-seekers, if he can carry through
his intended plan.

The Safety of the President.
Proper Protection of Mr. Roosevelt a
Serious Problem.

1t has become a serious question of
late how far the President of th3
United States should go in exposing
himself TO danger from the bullet of
an assassin. 1t is the tradition of our
country that the President should be
accessible TO the people-if not at all
times, still, during a great part of the
time. The idea of surrounding the
head of the nation with armed guards,
of restricting his liberty to go where
he pleases and do what he chooses,
would have seemed ridiculous half a
century ago, and apparently it seems
quite as ridiculous to Mr. Roosevelt
Low.
But times have changed since stage
coach and tavern days, and to return
to the simplicity of Jackson would
mean that it would be absolutely i'm
possible for the President to do any
business. His time would be wholly
taken up with chance callers, or office
seekers, or mere sightseers, to whom
he is one of the features of the Cap
ital. We do not elect a President 10
stand up in the East Room and shake
hands, but TO attend to the most I'M
portant affairs of the country, and IT
IS as plain as the nose on an ele-
plants face that he cannot do this if
he Is not free to consider public bust
ness for the greater part of his time
The fact that he holds office by virtue
of the votes of Tom, Dick, and Harry
does not carry with it the obligation
to be at their service for merely social
purposes, any more than a railroad
president Is required to open his
house TO everybody who rides in one
Of the ears on his road.
In addition TO this, the too great
accessibility of a President offers too
great an opportunity TO assassins. 1t
Is not, of course, pleasant to be
watC ID all the time, and some free
dom can be secured to the President
by having his house and grounds
guarded against tramps and unau-
thorized persons, while he himself is
free from a personal guard while at
home. But, especially in the case of
man like Mr. Roosevelt. his life Is
too precious to be wantonly hazarded.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is one OF the most dem
Ccratic men ever In the White House.
and his well-known aversion to having
a guard at his heels wherever he goes
makes the problem of securing his
safety somewhat difficult. 1t seems to
be the problem of protecting a man
from risks which he wants to take.
