 called by circumstance transpir- ing in the White House some weeks
 ago. The Senators from South
 Dakota disagreed as to distribution
 of federal patronage in that state.
 Both were at the executive office
 pressing the claims of rival aspir-
 ants for various positions. The
 president desired them to settle be-
 tween themselves all the matters
 at issue, but they could not do SO.
 Then he suggested that they decide
 the various appointments by lot,
 which was done; and both departed
 satisfied. Bnt to read some of the
 newspapers one would think that
 an unpardonable crime had been
 committed, right in "the seats of
 the mighty" with the President an
 active participant. The following
 excerpt from the Tombstone Pros
 pector will serve as a sample:
 That was an edifying scene, the spectacle 0f the Senators from South
 Dakota gambling at the White House for patronage. And the gambling was engaged i'll at the suggestion of no less a purist than the President himself, the great and good Roosevelt, who goes about the land delivering sermons against every conceivable form of sin. The president set the example to the Senators. He opened the game by hip- ping a coin to see which one of the Sen otors should appoint bank examiner.
 If ever there was a far fetched criticism the foregoing will answer the description, for the facts do not warrant the assumption. What was done at the White House with regard to the South Dakota patron age Is no more than what is done Tn every court of the land every time jury Is drawn-by lot. And done with the fall sanction of the law. Under the Arizona law there are two such drawings before man reaches the jury box, to sit in judgment upon facts. First the Board of Supervisors makes a roll of those who shall be subject to jury duty in the year. Then from that roll the grand and petit jury lists are selected by certain prescribed officials. Then from each of these lists the Court orders drawn by lot the men who are to be summoned to serve as grand and trial jurors at the term ap- preaching When the jurors sum- moned are in open court, all duly passed as to general qualifications, i and jury Is wanted to try a case, there are drawn by lot again a specified num- Der from whom are to be culled the twelve men who are to try the case. Now, then, does anyone ever think of that as gambling" to decide who shall or shall not sit { upon juries? The recent case at the White House is analogous. : Those to whom time honored GUS tom had given the prescriptive I right to dictate federal patronage [

Servians Drive Out Hungarian Off.
cials in Charge.


Berlin, Oct. 13.-The Lokal Anzeiger
publishes dispatch from Belgrade
saying that Servian customs officials
on the frontier have taken forcible
possession of a Hungarian customs
house and that the people of Belgrade
have burned another Austrian flag on
the public square.
According to this communication
Servian customs officers from the town
of Shabats, on the Save, went over to
the island of Bajuklitz, which is Hun
garian territory, and drove out from
the settlement there between thirty
and forty Hungarian customs en-
ployes by threatening them with
armed force. The Servians then took
possession of the Hungarian customs
station, which they continue to hold.
They have been reinforced by Servian
gendarmes. The people of Shabats
are celebrating this event joyfully.
A band of Servian demonstrators
boarded an Austrian steamer at Bel
grade, tore down the national flag and
carried 1t to Theater square, where II
was burned.
The Seryian government, the cor.
respondent says in conclusion, appears
to be unable to withstand the warlike
tendencies Of the people.

Of the Cabinet, Made Up of Men

dition Of Affairs.
London, Oct 13.-The news received

East confirms the belief held In Lon
don that the powers will find friend
ly solution of the crisis which has agi-
tated Europe for more than week.
in line with the other states directly
interested and is taking more quiet
view of the situation. The resolution
of the Servian national assembly,
which amounts practically to a vote OF
confidence in the government, has
taken the matter of Servia's attitude
towards Austria. Hungary out of the
hands of that easily swayed body and
placed it with the cabinet. The mem
bers of the cabinet are aware of the
actual condition of affairs and doubt
less will heed the warnings OF the
powers and take no rash steps. The
lowers can, therefore, continue their
negotiations in the matter of an inter.
national conference without fear oi
interruption by an outbreak from any
of the Balkan states.
A majority of the powers continues
in favor of the conference and are op
posed to Great Britain's suggestion
that the matter could be more quickly
settled by an exchange of notes and
Lossibly a meeting of the ambassa
dors at Constantinople, a course that
would avoid the introduction of ques-
tions other than accomplished facts.
There Is reason to believe that M
Iswolsky, the Russian minister of for
eign affairs, in asking for this confer
| ence does not desire to reopen the en-
| tire Near Eastern question; that he Il
| asking for something, however, Is con
| firmed by statement made by ar
official OF the Russian embassy thai
| "Great Britain cannot adhere to the
stand she has taken, namely, that the
| conference must be confined to the
actions of Bulgaria and Austria-Hun

This virus and poison has In several
instances entered upon the legislative
field by making laws which may be
enforced by equity process. Despotic
power under the ermine is as danger
Gus as despotic power under the

"the originator and specific champion
of discretionary government" and Mr.
Gompers reiterates that there is NO
