Brewer. who is alleged to have we'll known police record all over the country, having served time at Joplin, Missouri, and other places. The discovery was an acci- dental one, as Brewer was arrested last week for vagrancy, having driftpd Into Pine Bluff on a freight train. He was set to work on the streets by the street commissioner and refused Mr. stewart. suspecting something from his behavior, sweated him and got onto all entirely unexpected trail It developed that Brewer is d member of the gang of porch climbers and house thieves who have been robbing Little Rock residents the past few months and whose daring thelts have com pietely mystified the capitol city po- lice. Prom one place in Little Rock the gang got over a thousand dollars worth of silverWare and other "sWag. '' Constable Stewart upon search here secured about a hundred dollars worth of silyerware, gold handled umbrella and other articles. This information he secured through woman friend
 here of Brewers. Mr. Stewart left on the early morning train today for Little Rock to arrest the other mem

than that which has been expressed
by President Roosevelt. The great
majority of these people do not know
Rear Admiral Brownson personally.
but they know his record and the
story of life given with unselnsli
devotion to his country, and
are sufficient to make them firm in
the belief that when President Roose-
welt said that Admiral Brownson was
childish" and was In ''pique" he
was in the heat of passion and used
words that very i'll become the chief
executive of the land. The President
has been guilty in the past on several
occasions OF using Incorporate Ian
guage while describing some person
VIII entertained an honest opinion
which differed fom that which was
lodged in the Roosevelt brain, but
some OF the descriptive titles bostow-
ed upon the late head OF the bureau
OF navigation of the navy department.
Gar exceed in venom any that he has
yet expressed.
The President says that Admiral
Brownson resigned because of per-
sonal piQue and wounded vanity. but
with those persona who know both
the President ana the admiral there
will he generally unanimous opin-
ion on the subject, and that is that
when the President wrote his letter
all of the personal pique and wound
ed vanity was In the White House
and not In the navy department The
trouble with the President is that he
Is such nm cgotistical man himself
and Is the posscssor of such unbound
ed vanity that when either is wound.
ed he thinks that II is the other party
who has the plqnc and vanity The
Presidents vanity takes the form In
particular OF an abnormal adherence
of having his views disagreed with,
and when some person does enter
tain nm honest opinion contrary to
that of the Presidents. why then
the White House occupant has got
to begin to call names.
The two letters of the President
relative to the resignation of Admir-
nj Brownson are unjust. unfair and
When he says that
Drownson has nttemped to injure
the discipline of the service he makes
II statement that is not borne out by
the facts of BrJwnston's life from
beginning TO end, ana nobody but the
user of incorporate and ugly words
would ever for q moment think that
the word childish" could be applied
to Brownson with the slightest SEM
blance of truthfulncs. We do not
hold any brief from Rear Admiral
Brownson in this case, and any
Views that we have expressed have
been prompted by desire to take
the defense side of the case, though
1t is not needed, because of the very
unjust and unfair attitude of the
President in the matter.
The American people as whole
love fair play and there is no ques-
ton but that tho letters of President
Roosevelt will strengthen Rear Adj
miral Brownson's case with the pub
lie and that they wall be OF material
benefit to him IN the coming con-
gressional investigation. AS he is n
retired line officer, Rear Admiral
Brownson cannot answer the severe
of the President. but he
will have to answer the questions put
TIC him during the investigation. and
then the people will undoubtedly hear
an entirely different version of the
affair
