The enemies of Gen. Harrison Gray
Otis, proprietor Of the Los Angeles
Times pursue him with malignity that
is almost beyond credence. His life has
been threatened so often that he is in
a continual state OF uncertainty. The
latest attempt was near to success. A
bomb which later on explosion tore a
hole in the ground fifteen feet deep and
twenty feet wide was in his hands and
was about to be opened when the suspi
cion came TO him that it had an evil
purpose. Had he opened 1t he would
unquestionably have been killed. 1t was
to have been thought when the Los
Angeles Times building was destroyed
that these attacks upon Gen. Otis would
cease. but he is still prosecuted by secret
foes. Evidently the lesson taught by the
conviction Of the McNamaras and later
Of the Indianapolis dynamiters has not
been learned. There Is still need Of de-
tective work and court procedure that

lille, Of course. provisional President
Huerta's message to the Mexican con-
Sress is not altogether satisfactory to
the American taste. il must be said for
him that he has addressed himself to the
subject of American relations with con-
siderable restraint and discretion. He
might have sought to make more capital
out Of tile situation by severe arraign-
,neEt Of the United States and an appeal
TO the jingo spirit OF the Mexicans. In all
the circumstances Tluerta's message must
be regarded as = restrained and dignified
utterance. however readily it may be an
swered. 1t certainly does not make a
more difficult situation even though it
does not tend toward a settlement Of
the crisis. II will be noted that the prop
os.t,on with reference to the Withdrawal

tiers refers to date beyond the elections.
Thus the prospect OF our being compelled

Not Great Detective Work.

From the New York Mail
There was no great amount of wizard
ry' in the eventual solution OF the Hud-
son river murder mystery. The wonder
about this story Is that the police should
have left the nat, to which the Sth ave-
nue. dealer had sent the identifying pill
lowcases. SO long unsearched and un-
visited. The murderer left all sorts Of
clues behind him at every turn. Here
was a nat which contained btters. pho
tographs, biood-stained implements and
indeed all the evidences of the crime
and quite sufficient identitlcations OF the
victim and the murderer. clue led di-
rectly to this fiat But We are assured
that the police contented themselves with
watching the outside OF the fiat for four
days and merely noting the fact that no
one entered or left Il! In this case the
detectives were simply made a present
by fortuitous circumstances. of the iden-
tificat,on of the parties. 1t was thrown
into their laps. Who can wonder. when
such purely passive detective work is re-
garded as marvellous. that the Elsie Sigei
case, the Dorothy Arnold case and a
great many other such mysteries remain
forever unsolved.

Alabama.

An altogether regrettable note has been
sounded in the Alabama senatorial cam
paign. Gov. O'Neal, who is not a candi-
date. having been assailed by Repre-
sentative HObson, who is, replies in terms
that sizzie. He characterizes Mr.. Hob
son as "the Pecksnin Of Alabama poll
TICS" and says that ''he is the past mas
ter Of the art of Billingsgate''
Mr.. Hobson's grievance rests upon the
appointment by Gov. O'Neal Of Repre-
sentative Clayton to the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death Of Senator Johnston.
He holds that the appointment was made
with a view of boosting Mr.. Clayton for
the office in the race before the people.
Mr.. Hobson is an entrant in that race.
Hence his indignation. In his judgment
Gov. O'Neal should have kept hands off.
1t is not thought likely that Mr.. Clay
ton will be seated. The proper Senate
committee has the case under advisement,
and some Of the best lawyers in the Sem
ate hold that in making the appointment
Gov. O'Neal exceeded his powers.
But this did not soothe Mr.. Hobson. He
struck out as vigorously as IL the gov
ernor had seated the man of his choice
and had to that extent added to the
prestige Of the Clayton candidacy against
Mr.. Hobson.
Gov. O'Neals warm words will be dis
counted here as uttered in sudden heat
and passion. Mr.. Hobson has his weak
nesses. He can sight japanese at long
range. and unraveI a deep, dark Japanese
plot while you wait. He has made a spe-
cialty of oriental subtlety and agrees
Siveness.
But in his Washington manifestations
he is no such man as Gov. O'Neal de-
scribes. Rather is he above hypocrisy,
and a dealer in debate in good and seemly
speech.
Let the Alabama race be freed Of this
outbreak, and kept free of all such. The
state is fortunate in the three men in the
forefront for the Johnston seat. Mr..
Underwood is Of presidential size. Mr..
Clayton is a leader in the House. and
chairman Of the judiciary committee.
Mr. Hobson is a prominent member. and
an influential advocate of an adequate
navy. Any one Of the three would give
the state and the democratic party excel
lent service in the Senate.
OF course Gov. O'Neal had right to
his preference, and it was very like a
politician to show it. But ne may not
have advanced Mr.. Clayton's cause as
much as Mr.. Hobson fears. At any rate,
both Mr.. Hobson and the governor should
quiet down. and put their strong Ian
guage in cold storage.
