Articles from Rooms.

Joseph Hart, bellboy at the West
hotel. was arrested last night by De-
tective Lyons and charged with steal

Hart was seen trying. to leave by a

Lyons took him back to the desk: There

Homes for the Ambassado rs.

Congressman Lengworth g bill for the
appropriation of $5,O00,0O0. for the ,pur-
chase or erection of American legations
in the principal foreign capitals has
been favorably reported in the house
from the committee on foreign affairs
and will probably pass.
i This bill is a natural outcome of the
changed relations of this country toward
other powers in the past few years. It was
formerly quite to be expected that the
United States should have merely an
office for the transaction Of business
abroad, but now, when our international
relations have. become SO important that
we name ambassadors instead of min
listers, and when our position as a world
power is recognized, it seems not fitting
that embassy should have no other home
than, that which the man who occupies
foreign post can afford to provide at
his own expense. The business of the
government at the English court has
been run for years at the expense not
ambassador. The salary allowed him
hardly paid his house rent. = ~
:, IF this appropriation is made the
state department will seek proper loca-
tions for embassies Of the first class
which will thus become permanently
located. The ambassadors, relieved OF
the obligation to pay office rent for the
government, will feel more as if they
were appointed to work for the country
Moreover it will open the highest places
in the diplomatic service to men OF
moderate means. At present these are
practically confined to those who car
afford the luxury of $4,000 or $4,000
expense account on $4,000 salary.

sLlFE OF yTEPHEHA a. DOUGLAS,
E1Y "A MIMI ERPoLis fM william
Gardner, laNyhfS&bf SMtnneapolis, Has
retold the story of the life of Stephen A.
Douglas and has done 1t $inf way to
commend it, to the busy man who seeks
conciseness without the loss of any main
essential, and who seeks lucidity and b
moving story The book contains less
than $50 pages, yet gives a remarkably
clear and lively account of Douglas life
and the great struggles in which he par
ticipated.@ The author lived thru the Pc
Rod Of the slavery controversy, SO that
he writes Of things known to him thru
| his being in a measure part of them,
| but he has. not written from memory
alone; the history Of Douglas career In
congress Is gathered largely from the
Congressional Record, the accounts of
conventions, from contemporary reports,
! and the debates with Lincoln from the
authorized publication. The author says
he has not attempted to pass Judgment
on Douglas, but to submit the evidence,
and that he has doneSin most satfsfac-
tory manner, showing exceptional judg-
| ment in the selection of that which is
pertinent and material The writer pos
sesses "a clear and incisive style which

Of action when. he enters the booth at
the general election. His intentions
may suffer an honest change between
the primary and the election, and in
any event he cannot be considered as
bound to vote straight ticket. The
declaration does away with secrecy at
the primaries, but in no way violates
the secrecy of the ballot. Z
Iowa's proposed law, known as the
Crossley bill, includes a registration OF
party utilization at the, general cleo
ton. That is barking back to the days
before the Australian ballot guaran'
teed the voter privacy in his choice
and It would never be tolerated IN
Minnesota. In fact, the whole tendency
is to greater freedom in such matters

The Smith Execution Law.

The John Day Smith so-called mid.
night assassination law has never been
strictly enforced in Minnesota. There
have always been more persons present
at executions than the law allowed. AT
the Hayward hanging in Minneapolis
there were upward of a hundred persons
present and the newspapers were repre-
sented by all kinds of persons except
(happily) by the. person who gives the
woman S view. So long as we have po-
liticaI sheriffs it will be difficult to en-
force the law literally, and yet it is a
good law, and tho not vigorously en-
forced, has already done a great deal to
secure privacy in and to modify morbid
public curiosity about the legal kill
ing of an individual. &.
There is no sense nor civilization iii
making the execution of criminal a
public spectacle, and the world has come
a great ways since condemned men were
hanged in the public square for the edi-
dcation Of men and women and chill
dren. The Minnesota law represents
the better public sentiment on that sub
iect, and while it's enforcement has not
been perfect, it is right that the execu-
tive authorities should take cognizance
Of any fragrant infringements. If the
sheriff Of Ramsey county shas deliber-
ately defied the law made for his guild
ance, he should be punished. Perhaps
the deposition of one sheriff would do
as much to enlarge respect for the
Smith law as anything that could be
done. Politicians like to oblige their
friends, but they do not like to do it
at the risk of losing their jobs.
