method employed that 1t is probably
without parallel in suicidal annals

Wanted Mr.. Roosevelt to Call Out 10,
900 Men to Catch YeuO-
men Operating IN
Boston.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. ga crank
armed with an antiQuated bulldog
revolver, was caught near the pres
dents house at Sycamore Hill Mon
day by the secret service guards. The
man described himself ag John Cough
lin, detective. and when stopped by
the secret service men, presented q
card upon which was inscribed his
name and the word Officer" He said
that he had come to ask the president
to order out 10000 troops to catch
yeggmen who had been terrorizing
Boston. Coughlin is supposed to have
reached Oyster Bay on the 1919 train.
He walked three miles to Sycamore
Hill. The road leading 10 the pres

loop about the presidents home.
The two guards who are on duty in
the day time stand at either end of
the house and their view commands
both roads after the fork at the tennis
grounds.
One Of the rules for visitors at
Sycamore Hill is that no one shall
come on foot; so when Secret Service
Agent John Adams caught sight OF
Coughlin toiling up the hill road, he
guessed that something was wrong
and motioned for the man to go back.
Coughlin kept right on. Adams ran
down the road to meet him. Coughlin
produced his card and explained In
the most casual way that he had come
to confer with President Roosevelt
concerning the recent outrages by
yesgmen in Boston and to lead back
such troops as the president saw fit
to order out,
The secret service man tried to ex-
plain that the president was not see
ing visitors at the moment, hoping to
get him quietly out Of the grounds. |
Coughlin hesitated a moment and then |
slid his hand toward the back pocket.

"The trade of the editor requires a degree of intellectual mUscularity not only beyond the college professors reach, but also beyond his comprehen- sion. A good editor must have the casuistic skill of a Huxley, Che rip bling humor of @ Johnnie Ray, the abysmal learning of a Virohow, the eloquence of a Webster, and the power ful sweep and whoop of 8 Giadstone.

Iust Staying Here

The only trouble with Douglas ls- land. and, in fact, all of Alaska that we know anything about, Is that so many never get over the idea that they are only here for a few months or few years at the most and when their for. tunes are made they will hike back to the States in a hurry and will then be- gin to enjoy life.
 There never was more foolish mis- take.
 We know mRn who has lived right here on Douglas Islaud for almost a dozen years, and all the time he has de- luded himself with the idea that some day be would move back to the Sound and begin to live. All the beauty of the mountains and the sky and the sea Is tainted and spoiled by the thought that the time to enjoy life has not come yet. Wait until we so back. And bis hair is growing whiter as hs waits.
 There is another kind of a man on Douglas Island, and be works from early morning until late at night, every spare minute of time Is devoted to make his home more beautiful. What was that word? Home2 Yes, his home Is here, and he never says a word about going away. What a terrible thing 1t is to have no place to call our home.
 Let the past and the future take care of themselves, we only have the present; let us enjoy it.

DELEGATES SELECTED,
BUT THEY WILL NOT GO.

At the meeting of the sheep breed
ers at the Commercial Club yesterday
afternoon, Eliza White, VIM. Norris
and Charles d. Keyes were named
as the representative who should go
and work for the next meeting Of the
National Wool Growers and Sheep
Breeders Association in Roswell. Five
hundred dollars was raised in about
on the trip. But a little later it was
learned that 40 rate had been allow
ed out of the PecOS Valley to the
meeting at Helena, and the represen-
tatives will not go. Consequently Ros-
we'll will stand little show of getting
the next meeting of the National AS
sociation. However, Eliza White and
A. D. Garrett, representatives of the
County Association. will leave tomor-
row morning to attend the Helena
meeting No especial effort will be
made to get the meeting here, and
the railroad is to blame for tAe action
of the sheep men Many would have
been allowed that other roads give.
Additional to the other business of
the afternoon, Charles G. Tannehill,
of the Roswell Trading Co, was elect
ed to membership il the County AS

is devoted largely to the local law
lessness that has developed in the
tobacco war, accompanied by vigor-
Gus de1unciatiOn of the malefactOrs.
He says the Kentucky tobacco mar
ket has been nearly destroyed by acts
of violence and intimidation. The mes
sage recommends amending the stat
utes governing change of venue. The
granting of such change would be
come imperative upon any judge
when lawlessness or intimidation pre-
vents prompt and fair trials. He also
recommends the appointment of a
with power to investigate
the economic causes leading up to
the tobacco troubles that is to ascer-
tain whether it has been over-produc-
ton or whether prices have been
forced down by a trust or combination
of buyers.

THE PICAYUNISH POLICY
OF THE SANTA FE

Ut OFAiH ! ~ r
A delegation of Roswell sheepmen
today visited tae Record Office and
lodged a protest against the little and
petty policy of the officials of the
Santa Fe railroad displayed in CON
nection with the meeting of the Ma
tionaI Wool Gro vers and Sheep Breed
ers Association to be held on the 18th
of this month at Helena, Mont. The
Roswell people nave excellent pros
poets of securing this convention to
meet here next year, this meaning at
least 1000 people would come to Ros-
well, from all pa1ts Of the country.
The local branch of this associa-
tion appointed delegates to attend the
Helena meeting, and work for Ros-
well. The secretary of the associa-
ton here. Eliza White, received let
ters from both the Burlington and
Rock Island roads, offering TO give
delegates to the Helena meeting spe-
cial low rates. The securing of SINH
lar rates from the Santa Fe was taken
up and the response finally secured
that no rate would be given. This
entire transaction is in line with the
little and petty policy pursued by the
officials of this road, and the Record
is informed that the delegates from
Roswell viii make no effort to secure
the next meeting for this place An
other railroad is urgently needed in
this section
