According to custom, the engagement was
announced to the friends Of Miss Roosevelt and
Mr.. Longworth several days ago and to num-
ber of Mr. Longworth's associates in the House
Yesterday but no idea was given as to the time
of the wedding. The love affair of the two young
people dates back about two years when 1t
became noticeable that wherever Miss Roose-
Welt was invited there Representative Long
worth was likely to be Then followed MISS

TO the Philippines. They have been close com
panions since their return to the United States
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Longworth entered the
White House brougham with Miss Roosevelt
and drove out on shopping expedition.
1t is thought by those who are most intimate
with the family that the wedding will take place
in the Blue Room at the White House. where
President Cleveland and Miss Folsom mar
ried and where Mrs. Roosevelt received the
guests at Miss Roosevelt's debut five years ago.
The last daughter of President to be married

daughter of President and Mrs. U. S. Grant, who
was married to Mr.. Sartoris and from that time
until the marriage of Mr.. Cleveland there was
no other White House bride With the wedding

attendants of Miss Roosevelt rife, and all
her New-York cousins are suggested, well as
a number of young who have been
friends Of Miss Roosevelt since her early school
DAYS when her father Civil Service Com
missioner Mr.. Longworth was sent to Con-
eress from Cincinnati in 1899, became an Ohio
State Senator in 1901 and was later returned to
the 5Sth and 59th Congresses. He has ever sincs

JUDGES. LAWYERS AND JEROME.

1t is to be hoped that District Attorney
Jerome's modesty will not silence MIN IN the
face Of the failure of the Bar Association TO cali
upon him for the facts on which MS recent
charges against the judges were Dased. lie heeo
not wait for any such invitation Inc press Is
open to him, and he would ind welcome on
many platforms He has had reasonable time
since his original sensational speech on the sub
iect to marshal his facts and at least give the
few honest Judges who he admits are on the
bench the benefit Of immunity from the general
blight of his criticism STILL If his health or the
weight of his official duties makes more time de-
sirable the public will await his convenience
with such patience as it may, provided only IL
understands that this cloud upon the judicial
reputation is really to be cleared away by ex-
posure of the judges who are not worthy or

The Bar Association failed to call" Mr.. Je-

for his sake to expose what it thought "bluf'

This eminently conservative course suggests a
consciousness that things are not what they
should be- tempered by a determination not TO
disturb things as they are. Better nominations

of the past will not be considered. The Bar AS
socfation retains it's reputation as highly re
spectable body that can be trusted to frown upon
legal and judicial abuses after the people In gen

THE CASE OF sANTo DOMINGO

A wear ago the Dominican Republic was prac-
ticaIIy bankrupt. Under incompetent ana cor
rupt administration of its customs ana otner
services its revenue was not sufficient 10 pay
the running expenses Of the government ana
interest on the public debt Foreign creditors
were clamorous and were preparing 10 inter
vene forcibly for the satisfaction of their
claims The republic was on the very verge Oh
ruin Then something happened
The Dominican President appealed to the
American President for aid, and the American
President lent MIN a man. This man, young
army officer, was appointed by the dominican
President a receiver of customs for the lnsular
republic to be paid for his services by the
republic and to be accountable to 1t as 1t would
be responsible for him. He reorganized me
service with integrity and efficiency. He turned
over 45 per cent of the gross receipts 10 the
Dominican treasury for its running expenses
and mt the rest less costs Of administration
into bank for liquidation Of the public debt
That 45 per cent now amounts TO more than
the whole 100 per cent formerly received by the
government! In addition, he put stop TO
smuggling and facilitated the creation of an
efficient poIice force In brief where he found
bankruptcy, prostration and disorder he estaD-
lished soIvency, prosperity and peace
All this was done under a temporary and
tentative arrangemeut Now it is proposed TO
confirm and perpetudte une Soou "olh W
means of a treaty which is pending at the
nrpsent moment before the Senate of the United
States If that treaty does not receive unani-
mons approval it will be interesting to know
WHY not It will be interesting TO hear con-
yincing reasons for disappearing an arrange
ment so purely benefcent as this has been
Until the votes are cast we shall hesitate to
believe any Americans will oppose this coun-
try's playing the Good Samaritan when it can
do so to its own profit and without the eX-
penditure of even a little oil and wine.

LYNCHERS AND FEDERAL LAW

The decision just handed down by the Unlted
States Supreme Court In the higgins case tuIheu
on a technicality, and so does not pass upon the
general principle involved in the plan Ior sup
pressing lynching proposed by United States DIS
rrfct Judge Thomas G. Jones, of Alabama.
Nevertheless in dismissing the writ OF hapeaS
corpus and remanding the case of higgins 10
the court I'm Alabama for trial Of the indictment
against him. the Supreme Court offers at least
some encouragement TO those who hope to see
the Fourteenth Amendment give some enectlVe
protection to the rights Of citizens from mobs
which state governments can not or VIII not sup
press.
higgins was indicted by United States grand
Jury In Alabama on the charge Of conspiring TO
iynch a negro named Naples at Huntsville IN
September 1904. He sued out writ of habeas
CORPUS in the Circuit Court, alleging that even
tf the offence charged had been committed 1t
was @no denial to Naples person OF African
descent. by reason OF his race, Of the right,
privilege and immunity of a trial by jury TO
determine his guilt or innocence OF the charge
~of murder" The writ was refused by the Cir
crit Court and now on the appeal the right to 1t
is aeuied by the Supreme Court. From the allie
cation of the writ it is apparent that Higgins
bases his defence on the difficulty, If not the i'm
possIbility, of showing that the attempted lynch
ing was Influenced by the fact of Maples's race.
He would argue that under similar circumstances
eouaI violence would have been shown TO white
man, and that therefore the federal courts have
no jurisdiction under the clause OF the Four-
teenth Amendment guaranteeing to negroes 1.-The
eo,al protection of the laws" Federal jurisdic-
