The palace is said to be as big as a
city. 1t is built on the crest Of hill
at the mouth of the Bosphorus and con-

provided with quick-fi firing guns. museums.
observatories, mosques. lakes, shops,

The Secret Service.

1t is evidently desirable that the
executive departments should have at
their disposal a body Of trained and
trustworthy agents who could be a 8
signed to special service, from time to
tome, in connection with the enforce
ment Of the laws or the detection of
breaches of law. Such service is pro-
vided by the treasury department and
for a few distinctly specified objects.
President Roosevelt desires a broader
authorization. and it may be that it
should have it. But it must be appar-
ent to any dispassionate observer that
the establishment of a corps of secret
police, to be employed anywhere or
everywhere. at discretion, would be a
departure in our legislation that re-
quires thoughtful consideration and
should be surrounded by careful safe
guards. Certainly 1t is possible to
hesitate over such a proposition with
out any sympathy with criminals.
This Is the whole substance of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's controversy with
congress-. Whatever legisla-
ton may be finally determined upon
for the extension and regulation OF
the secret service will be based on the
consideration that it will not be applf-
cable during the present presidential
term.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Hot Shot from Obaldia.

The president Of Panama has cabled
to William Nelson Cromwell a mes
sage, in which he says: Il have re-
formed my belief regarding the re-
speciality of members Of the Amer
lean congress. Among them + liars
indecent and ignorant to a superla'
tive degree"
OF course, this is proof positive that
Panama affairs are conducted on a ba-
sis of irreproachable honesty, and that
no concession or graft has been en-
gineered in any way but openly and
above board. Incidentally, the Ian
guage of the Panama executive may
indicate the reason why our admins
tration may prefer him to the more
courteous, if less pliable, Amador and
Arias.
There is room for interesting specu'
lation as to what would happen II
Zelaya or Cabrera should send any
such declaration to Washington. Also
we wonder If it is the intention to
make Obaldia president of all Central
America one of these days.

GOOD STORY TO POINT MORAL.
Told BY Rabbi Krauskepf, Who Be.

Discussing the divorce question the

in their illogical and confused view

once took a stroll.
AS they strolled, they passed the
young girls of a neighboring boarding
school out on their daily walk. The
girls moved In military formation, two

skirts to their knees. Next came the
older ones. in the order of their ages,
their skirts frightening with their
years. And in the rear came the old

skirts hid vel their boots.
The little boy looked at the girls.
Then he frowned and said:

In a Nutshell.

It will cost Mr.. Pulitzer and Mr..
Smith more than the fortune of the
average man to defend themselves In
the suits brought. What chance, there
fore, would the average editor have in
such a case? Our state laws are SUI.
fcient for the protection of the indi-
vidual, for any person who is injured
by a libel is at liberty to prosecute. It
is not necessary that the entire ma
chinery of the federal government
should be turned upon a critic who
happens to offend the powers that be.
The president has done many good
things, but all that he has done would
not Offset the evil influence which
would be exerted by such a precedent
as he is undertaking to establish
COmmoner.
