IT IS RATHER MYSTERIOUS.
Arrest of ]. W. Swiney for Taking
Possession of a Horse and Buggy.
Especial to News and observer)


Greensboro. N. c.. Feb. 23.-An officer
from Burlington, arrived here this morn
ing and arrested Mr.. j. w. Swiney, under
warrant charging him with having con-
verified horse and buggy belonging to a
livery firm there to his own use. The
charge is made that last July, Mr.. Swiney
hired horse and buggy in Burlington
for two or three weeks, as he was travel
ing through the country selling fruit
trees. The outfit was not heard from any
more, it is charged until last week when
it was found in Weldon. Mr.. Swlney lives
in Greensboro, is most reputable look
ing man, and has apparently never made
any effort to elude the officers or con-
ceal his whereabouts. There seems to be
some mystery about the whole transaction,
which may be cleared up at the magis-
trate's trial at, Burlington, where the &C
cused went with the officer to stand his
preliminary trial.
The officers here were considerably dis
appointed yesterday afternoon when the
Sanford train came in Chief of Police
Scott was notified yesterday by the po-
lice of Jonesboro, that the negro, Will
McIver. who shot Charles Hall in the ex.
press office here Thursday night, had been
arrested there. When the negro arrived
he proved to be another man.

party renominated him fourth time
the people would have administered
to Cleveland defeat perhaps more
signal than that dealt to Judge
Parker.
Theodore Roosevelt now solves the
third-term problem finally and ire
vocably. What Washington estab-
lished as precedent Roosevelt now
makes an unbreakable rule. No par
ty leader can hereafter look for a
third term. Even nominations for
the third time are barred, as far as
the Republican party Is concerned.
Theodore Roosevelt has done many
great things. He has inaugurated
civil liberty in the Philippines; he has
set on foot an Isthmian Canal policy
certain of world wide effect; he has
estabilitated the MonroeD octrine; he
has made America the peacemaker of
mankind; but, greater than all, a
necessary condition, in fact, to all
these things, he has, by renouncing
all purpose of a third term. made this
the American peoples Government
forever.

PATRIOTIC AND GREAT.

President Roosevelt manifested a de-
gree of patriotism worthy the appro-
baton of the most astute political
critic, and the commentator Of a
great Republic when he in manful
way Immediately after his recent
election gave to the public bis inten-
ton to retire from the Presidency. and
refuse to consider the question of a
nomination for another term. The
time selected for the announcement
maniiests the true character and
greatness of the man and the immova-
BILE qualities of his Amercanism.
Washington declined a third term
and laid down precedent for his
successors. But that precedent, a
conscienceless and daring adventurer
in the Presidential office, would not
feel bound to follow. The American
people have been, on the whole, for
tunate in their choice Of Chief Magis-
trates, but no nation Is safe at all
times from the ambitious and re-
sourceful popularity hunter and self
seeker.
Aaron Burr had the Presidency in
his grasp in 1901. Had he been
elected his every endeavor were, most
assuredly, directed to keep himself in
Office or destroy the Republic. Mar
tin Van Buren,, denied a second
term by the people in 1910, continu-
ed to fret the stage with repeated eff
forts for renOminstion, till his final
placement from politics in 1S4S. He,
like Burr, had no respect for the
Washingtonian precedent. General
Grant, by seeking third nomina-
ton from his party in 1880, hurt
himself in the estimation of many
Republicans. Grover Cleveland, af-
ter three party nominations and two
elections, was not, it is generally sup
posed, adverse to a denomination this
year. The Sage of Princeton has, it
j. we'll known, small respect for pre-
c VIXEN b '.. oronal aims
and ambitions. But even had his
