resigned The Conservatives made a last effort wltH the Selusted Ministry Government which was balled with derision on all sides and has been nothing but a farce The Crown Prince made two public speeches in Its favor but without avail and at the elections of April 1001 out of 114 members of the lower house only live were won by the Conservatives Conserva-tives with small majorities and even

author Is Mr Samuel C T Dodd who Is general solicitor of the Standard OH company and has for twenty years In thai capacity made a study of the different State lawi of tliis country IDs judgment is

that attempts upon the life of the President and other high Ofllcjalri be made treason This would be Impossible without an amendment amend-ment to the Constitution the United States or In adhering1 to their enemies giving them aid and comfort Neither can freedom of speech nor of the press be abridged without an amendment to the Constitution It Is fortunately not necessary to wait for uniform State

the American Ameri-can bonn missionary held captive by brigands have chosen the inly practicable practi-cable way to secure her release by appealing ap-pealing to the public for the amount of lime ransom money The Slate department depart-ment at Washington can do nothing further just now than appeal to the Sultan or the Bulgarian Government and It Is I extremely doubtful whether either could effect Miss Stones release Both countries have been hrlgandrld den for centuries and It Is often Impossible Impos-sible to trace these outlaws In their mountain fastnesses I3ut If the ransom be paid and Miss Stone released there Is a plain duly laid upon the Government Govern-ment to demand a lilting Indemnity In paying the ransom the worst sort of precedent will have been established unless very prompt and vigorous action Is taken to make the Government under un-der whose jurisdiction the outrage has taken place suffer for It Doubtless there Is a very strong popular feeling in support of that course Unlike the question of collecting an indemnity for the destructIon of mission properly this case comes home lo thc heart of time average American who reads about It and who feels that It cannot be allowed al-lowed to go unavenged ilhout dishonoring dishon-oring the country The British felt the same way about an Imprisoned Engllsh iran In an Abyssinian fortress and waged a costly war to release him In this case time release Is already as good as effected Judging by the amount of subscriptions given already and It Is plain that officials of the American board dare not risk delay beyond the dale set by the brigands The strong Interest shown by the President and time Stale department In the case is ample am-ple guaranty that It will be vigorously followed up in political consequences should Miss Stone be released New York Commercial Advertiser WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALLY Washington dispatch to the Chicago Tribune President Roosevelt has taken i a new departure which will startle the oldtimers In Washington but which at the same lime will do away with the pedantic name which has always grated on the cars The ExccuUe mansion has been doomed and the White House has ofllclally taken Its place I For years all the Presidential stationery wns dated from the Executive mansion man-sion invitations were to the Executive Execu-tive mansion Congress appropriated for the ExecutIve mansion and the bombastic and undemocratic name was repeated In every ofllclal paper on the subject President Roosevelts first social 1 step has been to change all this The official stationery Is now headed The White House and invitations to dine are dated from The White House and not the Executive mansion The Presidents reasons for the step are both characteristic and natural There are under ordinary circumstances some fortylive Executive mansions In this country one In each State but only one White House It Is the de Fire to pcrpeluale the name ofllclally which Is
