is well known fact that in San Fran.

it has proved complete success, there
is very good reason for applying it in

CONCERNlNG PUBLIC SERVANTS

CONCERNING PUBLIC SERVANTS
Republican officials accused Of wrong
doing are entitled to fair chance to de.
fend themselves. To deny them this
right is to innict an irrcparablo injury.
1t is like indicting man and then re.
fusing him u chance to face his accuser
in open court Public opinion is too in.
telligent and too just to tolerate such a
course, whether it be attempted toward
the humblest cross roads postmaster or
an official of high rank.
But when the accused has had the
offer of his day in court, has been in
formed of the charges pending against
him, and has declined to appear or failed
to make defense, he has put his cast
where the Republican press is under nc
obligation to defend him. In fact, ht
has put himself where his party is hounC
to let him take care of himself.
There are, we are glad to believe, yer!
few such cases, but these few must maxi

Having sown the wind they are welcom
