JAS. BOYLE, WHO KIDNAPPED
BILLY .WHITLA, AND HIS
WIFE, WHO KEPT THE BOY
HIDDEN.
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CLEVELAND, O., March 30.-
AS preliminaries to the trial Of
J. H. Boyle, Sharon, Pa, plumber.
and his wife. for the kidnapping of
little Billy Whitla of that city,
proceeds, police, detectives and
criminologists are studying the
mental processes of the couple.
Strange mixture of cleverness
and stupidity marked the crime.
At times there was evidence of
carefully plotted, faultlessly exc
cuted schemes, deliberate, pains
taking, perfect. At other times,
they bungled like the amateurs
they are.
"Crime is a trade" Pat Grove
says. "You got to learn 1t like
anything else. And you got to be
careful and keep your grip every
inch of the way. kidnapping Is a
mans job"
Boyle was a plumber by trade.
Stealing rich mems sons, holding
them for a ransom of thousands,
while the whole country hunted
him, was a new trade with him.
He made the false steps. He lost
his grip.
In the bold capture, the per-
feet escape, the absolute eluding
of pursuit, in making the negotia-
tions, releasing the boy, getting
the money, the ex-plumber showed
an expert hand. Except Pat
Grove, he was the only man in q
century to go as far successfully
But why did the couple stay in
Cleveland "a hours after the boy
was released, 80 hours after he
had obtained the ransom?
Why did they stay in the same
house where they had hidden the
boy for four days?
And why, of all things, should
they leave their hiding place to go
on on drinking bout in public
saloon, a known resort of sus-
picious characters? Students OF
crime are asking these questions.
There were a hundred exped-
tents open to them. They could
have separated and started for
any part of the country. They
got the none six hours before the
police knew they were in Cleve-
land.
They could at least have gone
to a new neighborhood, where
they we're unknown, They could
have engaged lodging anywhere
in the laboring district, either to-
gether or separately, without ex-
citing suspicion. In a great city
hundreds of people move every
day. They could have gone tc
work, the man as a laborer, where
his identity would have been hid
den, the woman as domestic OF
waitress.
If they had left the city, the "a
hours start would have tken then
las far as Kansas City or Mime
Iapolis, or well towards New Or
leans.
The woman certainly wouls
have had no trouble getting ou'

responsible for the awakening of our political conscience and the cleaning out of our national Augean stables.
 There is one periodical in the United States which we believe de, serves the support of the American people. That is Golfers Weekly, This fearless and independent journal has done more to expose political cor, rupton and point the way to needed national legislation than any other one journal in the United States. It is powerful enough to speak plainly its financial footing puts it-above venal motives. withal it is ably ed, tied; is redundant with cleverness and dash; and contains some of the best art poetry, and short story fife, tion printed in recent years.
 It has done a great work and it's vigorous policy shows no signs of abatement. We strongly urge our readers to become subscribers to this paper. This tribute to Golfers Weekly is purely gratuitous, It  arises from unstinted admiration. Our only hope of reward is the fond thought that some day Golfers may take up Alaska's cause and show the people of the United States how na- tive born citizens are being denied the primitive right of a voice in their own government

PEOPLE WATCHING THE MAC
 TON OF CONGRESS.

It appears that members of con gress. end especially of the lower house have been receiving an ava lauche of letters from the people back at home auent the difference of opinion between congress and the president. It would require con. siderable catalogue now to enumerate. the various aspects and departments Of the feud between the executiveI and the legislature; but the people have given sign that they are not going to mistake the real essence of the difficulty.
 The president sent to congress when 1t convened a message which laid before that body a formulation of. just about what the country wants and expects congress to do.
 Congress could remain in session for the next two years without a va cation. working hard. and have no time to waste if it seriously proposed to do and do well. the things which both president and people demand of it.
 But long before congress reached Washington it was apparent that it. had no notion of doing those things Instead, it intended to let the short session slip away without doing any thing but the purely formal business Of appropriating money.
 But a feud with the president has been very helpful in the matter of wasting the time and avoiding ac. compIishm. mt. The trouble started over the secret service references in. the message. Various pretexts have been chosen for broadening and az. gravating the disagreement. until now congress is said to be badly behind it's schedule with the appropriations, and there is no chance whatever for any real progress.
 The people have not been fooled. however. Congress has been wasting it's time and opportunities. There is go ing to be no forward move this session. That is the thing which has appealed to the public. It is recog, milton of that fact which has caused a flood of letters to burst on con- gressmen, protesting against the at tacks on the president. or congratu- lating those members, who have stood by President Roosevelt.
 In this matter the people are right The people themselves constitute a. pretty effective sort of secret ser vice, which is watching congress, and reported that it is negIecting busi- ness.
 Election day seems long way ahead; but it is coming, and the. peoples memory is long. Congress may scold till it is black in the face; but its salvation with the country will be in doing the business which the president and the people have put up. 10 it-Philadelnhia Times

The power of the press is a greatly misunderstood and widely misused term. The press has unlimited powes In it lies the safeguarding of the rights of the people. No party or no politician can withstand the united attacks of a majority of the news papers of the country. No amount of secrecy can long hide corruption or
 graft from the keen reportorial sleuths who make it their business to know. The press of the United States has greater liberty of expres- sion than that of any other country. Usually this liberty is used in an outspoken and honest criticism of public affairs and public men. This, more than any other one thing, is

Laughter seems 10 be a specialized
form Of either the scream OF a stars
tied or injured animal or the cry of
triumph common 10 many beasts, OF
prey. In children the cry Of terror
and the shout OF laughter often shade
into each OTHER. and the young child
escaping from pursuit will scream with
laughter or fear. according to his
chances of escape. Some unexpected
event that causes slight alarm short
Of actual terror is, the cOmmOUeet cause
Of children's laughter. but in adults
some sudden event that gives a sensa-
ton OF Triumph over others has much
more influence. Really clever jokes
seldom cause.laughteT. and it has been,

hat will produce laughter FAR more
hearty in character than the best eff

Of i'll fortune in another causes by
contrast a feeling of triumph, in our
