Page Sherlock Holmes.

What a pity that Sherlock Holmes
is not alive in the flesh to solve the
latest Scotland Yard mystery! It Is
just the kind Of problem that would
none the less interesting because the
crime was directed at Scotland Yard
itself. for Holmes was never quite SO
happy as when he was beating the
yard at its own work.
Sir William Hopwood, the distin-
guished head Of the London police
establishment. received some choco-
culine instinct. he ate them without
pausing to investigate their pedigree.
He was taken violently i'll and SUBJ
seQuent Investigations showed that
the candy contained heavy doses of
deadly poison.
The detectives are securing London
in their man hunt. They are spurred
fense ds a challenge to the intelli-
eence of the yard itself. They may
find the culprit and then again their
efforts may prove unavatltng. Even
II they are successful. however. their
solution to the mystery will lack the
dramatic qualities with which Holmes
would have invested it-Asheville

(copyright, lSa2, By Anne ". LAae.)

The following Of Mr.. Lanes letters
written just before and after becom-
ing a member Of the cabinet, show the
wide range of subjects his interest
touched and his readiness to aban-
don preconceived opinions when con-
vinced they were erroneous:
To John H. wigmore:
Washing. on, January 8. 1913.
Like so many OF the southerners, 7
fear that Wilson's idea is that he
can declare general policy and be
Indifferent as to the men who carry
1t out. There is certain lack
effectiveness running through tn
south whicn makes for sloppiness and
q lack Of precision. ! have fount
that generalizations do not get any
where. The strength of any proposi
tion lies in its application. The rail
roads and the trusts and the pack
ers. and all the others who are vio-
lating the statutes, are indifferent a.
to how big the law is and upon what
sound principles it Is based. provided
they have a lot Of speechmakers to
enforce the law. They don't care
what the law is: their only concern
is as to it's enforcement I am going
to give the democratic party fou'
years OF honest trial. and then IL
has not more precision, definitenes
and clearness of aim, am going to
call myself a progressive, or a repub-
lican, or something else.
Wilson is strong, capable of keep
ing his own counsel and capable o
making up his own mind. In thes
three respects he differs materially
from our present President. whose
last nop on the arbitration of the
Panama canal proposition is charac-
teristic.

To John H. Wigmore:
WASHINGTON, January 20, 1913

To John II. WlgmoFe:
Washington. January 20. 1913.
Washington is now greatly stirred
because Wilson has frowned upon th'
inaugural ball-a very proper frown
TO my way Of thinking; but. mas
much as all of the merchants VIII
advance money for the inaugura
ceremonies rccoup themselves from
the receipts from the inaugural ball
there is much weeping and wa!l'n
and gnashing of teeth, and Wilso'
will enter Washington. in my judi
rsent, very unpopular President
locally The fact is, I think, he ie
apt to prove one Of the most tre
mendously disliked men in Washing
.on that ever has been here.
He has a great disrespect for in
'dividuals. and. so far as I can dis.
mass. His code is little new to us
and feel justified in proceeding upor
the theory that every man should
help him. and that it Is within his
'Wilson's) proper function to throw
Mr.. Everyman down whenever public
good requires 1t, and that his silence
never estops him from interfering a.
any time. Perhaps you cannot make
out just what this means. ! am die
tating, sitting in my room at home
with q very bad cold. and perhaps I
do not know precisely what I mean
myself; but I am trying to say that
under all circumstances Wilson re-
CARDS himself as a free man, and that
he is bound by no ties whatever to
do anything or to follow any course:
that he recognizes no such thing as
consistency. or logic, or gratitude, as
in the slightest embarrassing him.

Why wasn't the republican postmaster whose work

has been demonstrated good enough to remain the Job?
