- The investigation of the Central
Railroad management revealed the fact
that MI smith, late member of Con
GEES. retained IA royalty upon the car
wheels and castings used 10y the road.
in the aggregate amounting t" about
Sl:}- 900. The deeds and the papers III
the case involved Ex-Governor Smith
IA, party with his brother, but his
counsel contcudcd that he WAS i'll no
wise IA recipient. We think he Is en-
titled to all the doubt there may he i'll
the case. but see II" good reason for the
effort made to cXcUlpatc him if the
transaction was really right on the
palt of the Hon. WoIthington Smith.
As a manager of the road he must have
authorized the transaction. If not for
himself, certainly for somebody else.
The difference is not great.
In speaking. III commcndatiom. some
time ago. of ON delegation III Congress,
We referred to Mr.. Smith as good
business man. piIl It'ill We lt'I iH' ilh''i
to strike out the word good. or give t"
it some qualification. We like sharp
business men. but would cnntme then
sharpness to the rule of transparent
moral honesty. Perhaps Nh. Smitt
would do 50 Likewise. and We will not
50 much a. hint that he does not pI;tc-
tice it: vet in view of the developments
at the invest igation, We have sort "i
an opinion that thi. royalty upon the
widow and orphan owners of stock II
the Vermont and Canada railroad. cut
rather deeply into the life Of humanity
With the present apparent Involvement
of MI. Smith in the matter i'll question
We should not feel warranted III recon-
mendng him for Il sexton to a grave
yard, lest he exact Il royalty upon
death.
