REPORTS concerning Mr.. Randall's

ing For two years or more Mr.. Randall
has been in an anomalous political posi-
tion. While still holding allegiance to
the Democratic party he has opposed the
party in its chief purpose and in its at

necessary. Mr. Randall had been leader.
He had served his country and his party
when his services were valuable and his
motives dictated by the purest patriot.
ism. It was with pain that his former
party associates saw him abandon his
party TO assist his own and his party's
political enemies. The predicament.
inexplicable to his friends, unwarranted
by his own record, and at variance with
every declaration Of his party, was an
unaccountable. unreasonable and unpre.
cedented political paradox, In other
men, like Butler and Malone.
such a course is easily explained
but Randall has not become rich in office.
His motives have never been questioned.
The only explanation that can be given
for his lack Of fealty to his party Is 8
misconceiyed sense Of duty TO protec
ZIONIST community which he represents.
There is no doubt that his paradoxicai
predicament has affected Mr. Randalls
health. There is no doubt that the fall
from an honored and honorable leader

inexplicable recalcitrant has impaired his
vigorous constitution and made an In
valid Of a man who was strong in body
and in mind. Mr.. Randall's case is full OF
pathos and it is hoped he will cure II By
getting together with his party and not
by general dissolution which will break
the ties Of party and those Of life also.

POLITICAL scandals follow Republi
can officials as naturally as an odorifer-
GUS atmosphere follows a skunk. This
is not because all Republicans are dis
honest, but because the party has be
come degenerate and has fallen into the
hands of public plunderers. just now
before the Tanner scandal has
subsiled, the civil service scan
dal begins. Commissioner Lyman
has been accused Of dishonest practices,
and in letter to the President demand
ing an investigation, he has practically
admitted the truth Of the charges. Com
missioner Roosevelt has also demanded
an investigation after carefully stating
that the frauds did not occur since h'
has been a member Of the commission. Il
seems likely that this scandal will prove
a greater embarrassment to the admins
tration than the Tanner scandal.
