The Argus Daily Short Story
An Unwelcome Vistor-By Edgar B. Thompson.
COPYRIGHTED 1911. Associated Literary

When 1 was a young man / Travelled
a great deal and usually instead of rid
ing about the places l visited 1 walked.
Among other countries, / sojourned in
the Crimea, the scene of a great war
that occurred about the middle of the
last century and where is Liyadia, the
faYOrite summer residence of the car
of Russia. l was out on n tramp the
day after my arrival and, coming to
a narrow valley with cliffs on either
side, it struck me that from the sum
NIT Of the one on the right would get
Il fine view.
The ascent would have staggered any
one but a good climber. !, however,
had assembled a number of the Swiss
mountains and this one did not feaZe
me a bit. The side of the cliff was
mostly covered with timber, and since
it was the summer season the leaves
were out; therefore l could not lay out
a route from below. l plunged into a
thicket and fought my way through
underbrush till 1 emerged on rock.
From there I took my bearings, then
made my way through more brush to
a ravine, by which 1 attained the sum
NIT.
Turning TO enjoy the view, saw
soldier below NE leaning on his mus
ket To the right and the left were
other soldiers strung along at open
points from which they could see
bout them. l wondered what they
were guarding and why they had not
seen me, for had any one Of them
caught gIin1pSe Of me he would sure
" have turned me back. I began 10
feel uncomfortable lest 1 might be on
forbidden ground.
However was IL for it snd conclud-
ed that l would rather make my way
back to my hotel by going on than risk
another passage Of that line Of sol
diers. On passing over the edge Of the
cliff the country about me assumed a
very cultivated appearance, and
came to a smooth carriage drive.

The Taft Precedent Theory.

President Taft, in his recent expla-
nation to the senate of the Controller
bay jugglery, leads the reader to be-
lieve that the representatives of the
Morgan-Guggenheim positively do
not obtain a transportation monopoly
Of the Alaskan coal lands, by reason
of the amazing secret order which he
issued, and the existence of which
seems to have been known only to
Promoter Ryan.
Both Theodore Roosevelt and Gift
ford Pinchot declare positively that
the Ryan group, 70 all practical ends,
do receive such a monopoly.
The investigation of the Controller
bay jugglery has not been abandoned
as a result of the Taft statement TO
the senate, but on the other hand il
augmented the probe on the part of
the house investigating committee,
the members of which body now rea-
lie that they must not only combat
trickery on the part of the Wall street
spectators who are attempting to
gain control of the Alaska coal fields,
but that they must also combat the
president of the United States, who
is cooperating with and aiding the
Ryan land grabbers with all the pow
er of his great office.
Hardly less amazing than the pres
ident's action in granting the surren-
der of the lands in the first place, is
his attempt now to shift the RESPONSE
bility onto the shoulders of Theodore
Roosevelt and Clifford Pinchot He
explains how these two men, when
they were in Office, excluded from en-
try some $4,000 acres near Cordova
bay, and permitted the Guggenheim
syndicate to make that bay a terminal
for one of its railroads. He does not
mention, however. that the circum-
stances under which this grant was
made. were entirely different, and that
both IIr Roosevelt and Mr.. Pinchot
refused TO sign the necessary papers
until it was expressly stipulated that
the grant did not so dispose Of the
harbor facilities there that the syndl
cate would have a monopoly.
The raid upon Alaska by the Gug-
seuheims was then just beginning,
and no one except themselves had any
iutimstion that it was their purpose
ultimately to gain complete control
of the country. Their movements had
not disclosed any such intention. and
President Roosevelt only considered,
as any one in his place would have
done, that the syndicate was pushing
a legitimate development But even
then he was cautious, and his actions
we're in the broad light of day, as con
trusted with the Taft secret order,
mysteriousIy issued when nobody ex-
cept the syndicate managers knew
about Il.
President Taft. in his message, de-
votes less space TO an attempt 10 jus
tify his action on the ground that It
was right, than he does 10 the argu-
ment that he had only done what
others had done Thus he takes the
position. inferentiauy at least, that
wrong is all right and proper so long
as there is precedent for it.
But the friends OF Roosevelt and
Pinchot are not willing TO allow the
president 10 shift the blame onto
them. and reports in Washington are
that Taft not only has failed 10 ex-
plain his action satisfactorily, but
that he has alienated the Roosevelt
Pinchot faction beyond repair.

The suppressing of Police News.

SuIpECSSfDG C1 -NSH0s
The Argus has never believed in the
suppression OF police news and infor-
nation, and it has had several disputes
with municipal administrations and po-
lice officials on this account There
are exigencies, of course, when, in or
der 70 better attain the ends of jus
tice, it is proper 10 withhold for time
the publication of certain known facts
in the development of a case coming
under the knowledge of both the police
authorities and the newspapers. But
when such circumstances arise the po-
lice and the newspapers should have a
complete understanding and work with
mutual confidence.
In an instance OF the kind that for
mer Mayor McCaskrin has exposed
there is no excuse for denying TO the
public the knowledge that prop
erly should be disclosed b. the
course that has been pursued in smoth-
eriug, or al least attempting TO smoth-
er, the facts involving an outrage of
which the public has right 10 know.
the police department has not only
shoulders but unjust blame upon the
newspapers which have trusted the de-
partment TO furnish them with the Ie-
climate information that should be
printed.
II is conceded that the police cannot
act unfortunately on hearsay in max
ing arrests. Nor can a newspaper base
a sensational news story on unreliable
Information. 1t is essential, therefore,
that both agencies work in harmony
and that both be frank with the public.
If the charges that have now been
publicly made in the case in point are
true, an inhuman monster has been
permitted to escape, for the time being
al least, and has been shielded rather
than apprehended by the police author
tiles while fleeing from the penalty of
an offense the enOrmity of which is IN

oh. what a world OF change IL Is.
In constant motion keeping,
For evolution Is at work
While We are sweetly sleepingi
And when We rise and stretch our limbs
And wake US from our slumber
We find some dearly cherished thing
Is now q grand back number.
To nothing can we freeze and say,
This we viii use for ages"
For evolution any day
May turn a few more pages,
And we will find the good machine
In which we were investing
Our money and our fondest dream
Is on the scrap pile resting.
One generation-what n span!
Some thirty years they reckon
Can see the old things pass away
And newer ones sim beckon.
With things repeated Ger and DER
No modern man can weary,
For e'er no learns the latest kink
They have a different theory.
1t is a very moving show.
Swift changes. without curtain.
And you will get your moneys worth.
OF that you may be certain.
A mtcrobe or pair OF wings.
A different plan for chewing,
You can on this one thing depend
There will DO something doing.
