Philadelphia Record.
 Mir. RcoseveIt's press agent has told us again and again of the Presidents irritation at the vigilance of the se- cret service men. from whom he IS represented as escaping at every op- portunity. One would supposeuhat the detectives were the Eumenides whom he Is trying to get rid of, but in vain. This is a pleasing fiction, but dlscern- ing persons understand that the. Pres ident would not be guarded If he did
 No President was ever so guarded as he. He does not go to ride without a secret service man behind him. John on the White House grounds, ready to jump upon any suspicious person, and In travelling the President is guarded
 ss Ss Beses Seore MUre peops rsnTs been bundled out of the White House or arrested on the grounds or In the so treated from the time of George Washington to the inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt.
 It is true that Mir; Mckinley was service men were behind him at the moment. and much good 1t did him, Garfield was also assassinated. But to adopt the methods of Tsarskoe Selo He was easier to reach in the White House than many a bank president Is He Ieat o to tne tho stasNn an oi sleuths. No women were knocked down and dragged out of tho White House fin his time because an under secreta. rvs sub-deputy assistant decided that she shouldn't see the President. The ,'twoman in blue" who kept the secret service men at Oyster Bay in a perfect fever all last summer would have seen Mir. Arthur or Mir. Cleveland or Mir Harrison or Mir Mckinley. and nothing would have happened.
 It is a curious thing that the man xUbn inGieks calling his official resi- dence by It's nickname of the White House. in order to show that he is one of the people. is guarded like a king, while his predecessors, who used the stately and statutory term Execu- tive Mansion. went in and out and rode abroad like ordinary citizens.

1t apears to an outsider that the Standard oil magnates who are refus- ing to answer questions put to them bv attorneys, are practically admitting that they have been guilty of the shady pratices charged against them. One of these magnates is quartered in pala- tiai rooms at prominent New York hotel and so guarded that court off cials cannot reach him and serve pa pers on him. There ought to be sum- mary way of dealing with such people If seems to be in the minds of some men of great wealth that they can out rage every public law, every moral ob' ligation and every private tie, if they have the money to pay for their con duct.

Oppo.e. CIemency for Patrick.

They are making up petition in Texas against the interference with the execution of Lawyer Patrick said a citizen yesterday, who has just return ed from the Lone Star State.
 You canAet tell here what feeling there Is in Texas against Patrick. That is the native State, you know. of tbe millionaire. Rice, who was murdered in New York. He has relatives seat tered over many parts of Texas. They refuse to believe anything but thal Patrick committed the murder. and that anything is injustice but his unmolestec death. When left. the friends of these relatives were active in canvassing signatures to the protest against elem ency to Patrick, who has been so nu. merously condemned by the courts oi the Empire State"

, General oates and the senatOrshlp.

OOlDdH JOuEhais
 General w. c. Oates has recently been in Dothan on legal business His presence here has increased the inter est felt in this section in his intimation that he will probably be a candidate for United States Senator. General Oates has suggested in print that the Democratic State Committee provide for an expression by the people Of their they vote in the general primary. From this we suppose the General feels that he is stronger with the people than with the politicians. So far as this section of the State is concerned we can say that he is strong with the peo- pie. Many of the old men served with him In the army and there are sons Of many others who have passed away these all, so far as we know. stand by the old commander of the Fifteenth Alabama. How the politicians, large or small, in this or any other section of the State may feel. we do not pre- tend to say.

Boys Shooting Riaes.

T wish you would draw attention to the promiscuous shooting of 22-calibre rifies by small boys on South Court Street" said citizen, "The careless- ness with which these boys shoot these firearms has become a nuisance and ac- tually persons life is imperilled.
 My brother has two little children, and he is continually scared for fear that they will be fatally shot by stray bullet. We have asked the boys to stop using these rifles, but they have per sistently refused to respect our wishes. saying that they have right to dis charge the firearms.
 Tt looks to me that there should be some way of having it stopped The police should look into the matter Tor the safety of the public"

The Boston Herald fears the growth of the "one-man power" in Washington. A State Constitution may provide that inc Assembly shall choose it's own pre- siding officer, but if the President chooses him the only thing for this Legislative body to do IS to ratify the choice. Party custom may decree that i caucus shall decide between the can dtdates for speaker. bat if the Little rather at Washington pick out one of them, that settles it."

might have been sufficient to cause Miss Monteith to be suspected, and as mat ter of fact there was suspicion at the beginning. but all the inquiries and investigations that were made. and they were thorough, not only failed to inn peach her character but, as before stated. they completely failed to find any possible motive or reason for such a crime. After almost five months the mystery is just as great as ever. and will probably remain 50.

A Reasonable Proposition.

The Railroad Commission, or some one with power to do things, should look into the accommodations the travelling public gets at the different stations where the people are forced to wait for trains. No bulletins are posted at some places and the agent (when at his rost) gives out no reli- able information as to the lateness of trains. This Is not right and.can easily be remedied. It Is just as easy to tell the truth as lie and a good many times the truth would be worth dollars and cents to a passenger who is walt. ing. We say the public is entitled Sto more information.
