The failure of Ben Butler to secure
another reelection t" Congress Is one
more of the cheering signs of the times.
II is quite us gratifying to honest people
as the defeat of Judge Poland, though
Butler is probably the most dangerous

Judge Polamd'S fate has been hard
one. in view of the fact that. as we be
lieve, he has been both ii very able and
honest representative. In Congress he
WAS regarded as IL plain. steady. hard
working member not aspiring to lead
| in politics. in financial on business
| legislation. but in the line of the law.
in protecting the administration of jus
tice he had become the acknnw lodged
! leader of the House His connection
with the So-ralled pres, gar" bill WAS
] perfectly innocent ANA proper. as " as
The. bill itself. and Senator EdmumdS.
FrrlmuhuN sen. and Carpcnter. in fact
all the judiciary committee had the
slime responsibility tur il practically IL
Judge Poland. The truth j. that the
.Judnc'S connection with thi, hill. or his
course on the salary act had really moth
inr To do with hi. defeat th.[ were.
only war cries taken M hy the ..hoys''
from the Democracy and USED for the
emergency. Judge Poand'~ public SCI
vice has been important enough 81 that
he can afford To forget his defeat. which
