Protect the President.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel

Tho life of an American President is at
least as well worth safeguarding as that
OF foreign royal ruler. Our OLD pleasant
theory that it was sufficiently safeguard
ed by our form of government and the re-
Satc of our free democracy for laws and
executives of its own making and choosing
does not square with experience and hard
fact. We want and need no such elabo-
rate and unrepublican precautions as are
taken in Russia or Germany Such sys-
tenn would be ridiculous and superfuous
in this country, and would invite the dan
ger 1t is meant to avert. But we do want
measures, and 1t will be the urgent duty
of Congress to provide them, operating to
minimize the danger from crdnkism and
anarchism by detecting and heading off
special cases of it well in advance

Useless Butchery.
From the Baltimore American.

SIX hundred people killed. one hundred
blinded and one thousand wounded On the
last Fourth of July is the record of the toy
pistol according to the statistics collected
by the Ohio state board of health. That
1t is time for an energetic campaign against
this deadly toy all over the country is plain,
AMI If on the next Fourth it has a chance
to reI,aat it's fatal work. it will be the
criminal fault of those who make laws to
protect the public and those whose duty
it is to inforce them. No further "acci-
dent from the toy pistol is possible.

appeal to Congress to grant it without de-
lay. 1t is true that the fault often lies with
the workmen themselves. and that when
fatal accidents occur the men have con-
tributed to their own death. But this fact
does not warrant official laxity or non-in-
reference in the premises. AS long as the
District has supervision over building meth
DDS It should extend it's authority to the
details of preparation.

The Long Bridge Draw.
From the Buffalo Express.

The breaking of a railroad bridge which
is in daily use is a rare event. these
structures are closely watched by the engi-
neering and construction departments of
railroad companies. 1t is strange that the
weakness in the draw of the Long bridge
across the Potomac near Washington was
not discovered before the accident Of Sun

LONDON. July 14.--Samuel Herbert
Dougal. known as the "Moat House,
murderer. was hanged today in
Chelmsford prison.
The execution closes career Of
crime that was surrounded by as
many circumstances Of mystery and
sensation as the brain of a novelist
ever invented. The deed for which
he paid the death penalty was the
murder Of Miss Camille Cecile Hol-
land. a woman Of Independent means
who not only gave him her affection.
but trusted him So far as to buy the
lonelyMoat farm, where they might
liv6 together in peace. He betrayed
her trust. and with scarcely conceiv-
able baseness. drove her out into the
stiffness of the night to blow out
her brains. that he might become
possessed Of her property which he
succeeded In doing by forging her
name to her checks.
Shortly before he was hanged
Dougal was taken from his cell and
made new confession OF his crime,
acknowledging his guilt.
Dougal was Of smart military ap-
pearance. pleasant Of speech, and po-
lite Of manner, attractions which en-
abled him to win the affections Of un-
discerning ladies both in America and
England. whom he lured to their ruin.
As member Of the Royal engineers
he was stationed for considerable
time in Nova Scotia. When he first
landed in Halifax he was accompan-
led by wife. who suddenly became
Ill and died. She was buried the fol-
lowing day. Three weeks after the
death of his wife DouRal sailed for

FEngland, and returned Ave weeks lat
er with another woman. whom he In
troduced as his wife. In two weeks
the woman was dead. and on this
occasion also the remains were buried
the Following day. When Dougal final
ly left Halifax he persuaded young
woman to accompany him and she
afterwards returned to that city with
a story of betrayal. The man was
next heard Of at Aldershot and in va
rious other parts of England.
Shortly afterwards he forged the
checks Of two well known members
OF the aristocracy. For this crime
he served ~ months in prison. In
1894 he again turned up with young
woman whom he had met through the
agency of q matrimonial advertise
ment. The two lived together for a
considerable time in country house
on the outskirts of the. village of
Watlington In Buckinghamshire. Dou-
gal devoted his time to chicken farm

woman arrived on the scene and caus-
