The practice of . sending city detec tives after prisoners has been sadly abused the pant few years, and upon several occasions the detective depart ment has been placed In a bad light by work of the detectives. In several In stances the prisoners have been allowed to escape, or the detective has failed to get the essential evidence upon which to convict, and the result has been that the county has been to a heavy expense and the guilty persons allowed to ro freo. Furthermore, It Is held that the city detectives have no business In go ing upon cases that should be handled from the district attorney's office.- In the Levlne case, two of Portland's detectives have been off duty two weeks upon work that rightfully should have neen done by the district attorney's of fice. They draw their pay . from the city just the same, and their expense ars paid by the county. Scramble Amour Attorneys.

It is Interesting to recall oertaln opinions passed prior to his nomination and elec tion by competent students of political events, and In that connection a reader of The Journal cites an estimate upon for the weary, rest for ths wicked, but there's no rest for a president who seeks to do righ't. .

TWO ABUSED WOMEN s WOULD BE SINGLE (Ipedil DUpttcb to The Journal. t Oregon City, Jan. 18. Because her soldier husband looked on the wine when It was red, Mrs. Agnes B. Blermann filed a complaint In the circuit court of this county, suing for a divorce from her husband, Oscar H. Blermann. , She al lege that he was cruel to her, and that his bad disposition was the effect of xcesalvs drinking. They were married at Vancouver. Wash., March 16, 1906, and Blermann Is a wuslolan In the United States army. ie is in regiment 19, at present sta tioned at Fort Bliss, Texas. Mra Bler mann wants her maiden name of Agnea p. Burch restored to her. Alleging that T. H. Smith spent too much time with other women end not enough with her, Mrs. Rose Smith ap plied for a divorce in the Clackma county circuit court yesterday. They were married at Portland, June 1, 1909, and Smith soon tired of his wife, so shs alleges, and acquired tthe , habit of spending much of his time with other and questionable women. She avers that ha hit her on Thanksgiving day Mra. Smith wants her n&iden name of Ross Cota restored to her. Mr. Taft's availability as presidential Given one smooth and suave and plausl tlmber by Alfred Henry Lewis, in he hie to do the fooling, I think Mr. Taft Issue of his magasine. Human Life, in might be fooled. There be those the Portions ths March number for 1908. of the article read as follows - Bclplo and Tabtus. Thera are radical differences between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft; they no more esemble one another In the moral and the mental, than they do In the gressivs. incessant, arbitrary; he comes "e knows too much about government of the strain of win-or-die. his instinct knows too much about people. No; i. h. nfren.lv. Mr Taft. ivmnhat- yu ay 'ool Mr. Roosevelt, but never Honorable Ellhu Root for example who could pack him In cotton batting and sing him to sleep. Mr. Roosevelt can also be fooled; but not wholly nor for long. You can fool all of Mr. Roose velt part of the time, and part of Mr. Roosevelt all of the time; but you can't fool all of Mr. Roosevelt all of the time, 1c, heavy, obstinate rather than aggres sive, too unwieldy ror attack, is alto gether defensive. One is Scl'pli, the other Fablus: ons is a sword and the very much for very long, And after that he'll fool you. Taft Would Stay roolsd. All these wise and hawklike things other a shield. Were all oar liberties one onnot Bay of Mr Taft, who being secure and the enemy still outside the breastworks, no ons should make a fairer president than Fablus Taft. That however, is not the situation. Ws mast. to save ourselves, carry the war into Africa, a work of all works for which he is utterly unfit Our national hour still demands a Sclplo. ro far the Car fooled would stay fooled. HonestT Certainly he's honest; I've said It 20 times. But there are enterprises, such as government and flraw poker, wherein to be merely honest Is not a complete equipment. In conclusion I must repeat that power to. retard If he may not wholly stop the White House in Its course. Move fast enough! Given Mr. Taft, the White House would hold him and fix him r helpless as a fly In amber. To folk who have seen presidents and wit nessed their struggles against the dead, dumb, dragging weight of the office Itself, the never flagging marvel Is that Mr. Roosevelt moves at all.
