LEsE MAJESTY IN THE WHITE
HoUsE.-For the third time since Mr..
Roosevelt mounted the Presidential
saddle, he has asked that a reporter
shall be with drawn" from White
House functions. In 1902 he de-.
manded withdrawal of the New York
Suns represented from Oyster Bay.
The second demand was for the dis
charge of the reporter for the Wash
ington Times. All these men did
was to write up what took place just
as it occurred, and if there was any,
thing that should have been suppressed
it should not have happened. The
third reporter dismissed was lady,
society editor of the Post. A dispatch
of the 4th states that Secretary Loeb
telephoned the editor that his assign.
ment of the lady should be rescinded,
as she was distasteful to the Presi-
dent" When asked in what way, the
answer was "come up here and / will
tell you" my Office 10 in the Poet
building" was the response, and if
you have any communications to
make l will receive them here" and
the receiver was hung up with click
that would doubtless have aroused
the Presidential ire to fever heat had
his ear been at the phone. The so.
ciety editor of the Post is cultured
lady, who has long been engaged in
newspaper work. and has the esteem
Of members OF official, diplomatic and
residentia society. Her work has
always given satisfaction and she acted
as recorder OF events ct the White
House during MoKinley's entire ad.
ministration without criticism from
any source.

THE stalwart defense made by the
Republicans OF the many administra-
ton scandals that have been I'M
earthed is the best evidence that the
Democrats have q splendid issue to
advocate, which embodies. enough
principles in detail for an entire plat.

when . change is imperatively de-
manded by many considerations of

foe, and for the reason that Japan be-

When Schley's name was prominently

the idea and remarked that should
such nomination come his way ne
would decline the honor. In addition
