rushed out from the crowd on the south
side. camera in hand to take the Presi-

He had small round-iooking kodak,
which to two policemen stationed there,
looked just a little like bomb. They
grabbed him quickly.
He snatched out police pass. How
ever, the police would not permit him
to take snapshot at the Executive.

Trouble With Crowd.
There was trouble experienced in keep
ing back the crowd on the north side of
the avenue at Ninth street. Standing in
the middle of Ninth street there were
fully 500 people tightly packed together.
Occasionally they would surge out and
get far beyond the ropes
Five mounted police and fully dozen
other Delice were kept busy holding
them back. Several times the officers
used their clubs. Two or three men were
arrested.
During the long halt while the
President was taking lunch, the great
crowds on both sides OF the Avenue
and in the stands on the south side of
the Avenue. between Seventh and
Ninth, endured the cold and wind good

The regularly organized military CON

soldieriy appearance and efficiency in
maneuvers. The First Battalion of
Philippine Scouts and the cowboys
from the West aroused the enthusiasm
of the crowd TO it's highest pitch.

men of today, but sometimes the unedu-
Gated daddies and granddaddies of some
of our smart men of today exhibited far
greater sense, l think.
l have never applied for nor held a gov
ernment position. although my father and
only brother sacrificed their lives in the
Union army in connection with the civil
war. OF course, no man should be paid
more than he earns, whether ignorant or
educated, but the rate of compensation
should be graded according TO fixed rules
of capacity and In exact proportion to a
mans real qualifications in actual work
and not a result of political favoritism.
If an employe Is really incompetent, in
dolent or insubordinate, let an examination
with every opportunity for defense, be made
and a just judgment rendered at what
ever cost. rather than vest any man,
whether President or subordinate, with such
arbitrary and unlawful authority.
Our government consists of three co.
ordinate departments-the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial-each limited 10 it's own
sphere of action and neither empowered to
assume the functions of the other under
cons titutional penalties. Seemingly some
men, now new to positions OF authority
fancy that their doctrine must go, ire
spective of others rights. but such con-
tention must find its quietus when passed
on by the Supreme Court. The President
is oftenest right but IN this he's all wrong.

Presidents Summary Dismissal Order
To the Editor OF The Star:


Your editorials in regard to President
Eoosevelts recent amendment to he civil
service rules must meet with the approval
of all faiT-minded men of Judgment, and
cannot reasonably be objected to by our
President, whose rulings generally bear the
stamp of equity and good sense. However,
1 am inclined to think that he has not con-
suited the Attorney General as to the legal
and constitutional phases of so drastic an
order. Surely no competent legal adviser
would tell even the President of the United
States thai he possessed the constitutional
right to blast and destroy the reputation of
an employee of the government on the ar
bitrary sayso of either himself or any sub
ordinate, whether cabinet officer or other
servant of the republic.
In civil or business life such an act,
without an opportunity to disprove the
Charge, or even insinuation, would be
actionable at law and, If not substanttated,
make such an one liable to damages pro-
portionate to the injury done, it being an
invariable maxim of law that no one has
the legal right to do another an injury
unless justified legally and equitably, how
ever humble the victim of such an injustice.
Aside from the fact that spite, personal
preference and political considerations may
induce an employees decapitation, and nu-
merous other abuses of such authority
grow up under such ruling, the constitu-
tional right of every American rises in re-
sistless opposition to any such arbitrary
dismissal. and the Supreme Court of the
United States could but declare such as
sumption of authority utterly unten-
able whether exercised by the President a
cabinet officer. or any other servant of the
people, neither possessing legislative power
or any power not In contemplation of law.
But the order Is not only void in law and
an officer attempting its execution per-
sonally responsible for whatever injury he
does in thus disnliss.ng an employee. but
our boasted gratitude to Americas veterans
becomes farce. Under laws passed by
Congress giving veterans of wars the
preference in filing positions under the
government, many soldiers of the civil war,
now aged and on life's decline are neces-
sarily lacking in physical and even mental
capacity. and so are more or less inefficient,
just as any just government would expect,
and make allowance for, and just as other
governments do, whilst this order would
practically say to theese aged veterans of
| the government, Now you are old and
| feeble; we'll let you starve or, possibly,
some city will admit you to the poorhouse.
where you can end your days, just as all
heroes should

government employees makes them worth

DAMAGE SUIT FILED.
The Plaintiff Alleges False Arrest and
imprisonment

James L. Hudson today filed suit in the
District Supreme Court against Thomas II.
Pickford for $4,000 damages for alleged
libel false arrest and Imprisonment. The
suit is the outgrowth of charge of con-
spiracy made by Pickford against Hudson
and Ferdinand Hopp about four years ago,
as a result OF which Hudson says he was
arrested and confined in jail for eleven
days. Later, he says, he was indicted by
the local grand jury for conspiracy with
Hopp to defraud Pickford out of $1,000 on
the ground that he would not testify against
Pickford in connection with charge which
was to be brought against Pickford.
In the past four years Hudson alleges he
frequently asked to be given trial on the
indictment returned against him. This, he
says, he was unable 10 secure, and in April

district attorney, was nelie pressed.
