The Retort VitrioIic.

Before he went to prison, Joseph p
Dunlop, Chicago's dirty editor, issued a
big supplement to his paper charging
that his conviction was the culmina-
tion of political and business con-
spiracy to ruin him, lamenting the
overthrow of the freedom of the press"
and otherwise raising a cloud of Phari-
saical dust for the bewilderment of the
ignorant. He particularly named Her.
man II. Kohlsaat, of the Times Herald,
as one of the Instruments of his con-
viction; and the manner of the latter's
reply must have made Dunlop dizzy.
We append portion of 1t simply as an
object lesson in effective rhetoric:
There is little danger in this community,
where Dunlop's name is a synonym Of
moral lcprosy, where thousands of homes
have been polluted by the taint OF his
touch and where the victims of his black
mailing operations abound-there Is little
danger anybody will be mis.ed by this
outcry that he is political martyr and
victim OF personal malice. Nobody
wishes to gloat over his disgrace. II he
had gone quietly to his cell, even though
he cursed in his heart the law that smote
him, there would be no occasion now to
emphasize his shame. But since he
scorns the silence for which he should
have prayer and persists in calling the
world TO see the stripes of his punishment,
1t may be well to remind q forgetful pub
lie that the offense which he was con-
victed, black as IL was, was one of the
least of his crimes. The records of the
societies for the suppression of vice are
flied with counts in an indictment which

School Board Financiering.

Replying to published criticism of
the Scranton board of control for al
legged careless financiering the Sunday
News remarks;
What the board of trade needs to in
vestigate is the people, not the board. The
people elect controllers, not to admins
ter the schools as a whole with the great
est economy and with the best advantage
but to secure each to his particular ward
the largest share Of the appropriations
that scheming or log-roling can be used
10 capture. No matter how careless or
even criminal many OF these may be- re-
garded from the standpoint of the inter
ests of the whole people, If he shall have
done well by his district or ward-that
is, if he shall have got a let of places, or
favors, or trade, or of money expended
in buildings for its people, he is all right
and, If he wishes 1t, can go back. To some
this may be AN unwelcome truth, but il is
a truth all the same. and 50 plainly truth
that the mere statement of it will sug-
gest TO even the LATEST and least in
formed mind the sufficient proofs of it,
There is pertinency in these observa-
tions; yet we doubt if the voters in
any ward are so anxious for expensive
school buildings in that ward that they
would defeat good controller for fail
ing to connect with every deal By a
species of poetic retribution those who
would are generally the first to sweat
when the school levy is increased
or course, in our form of government
the people, in the last analysis. are to
blame for every defect which exists
through their failure to apply the rem
edy. But this offers narrow excuse
for the school controller who thinks
more of capturing a big building ap-
preparation for his ward or negotiating
pull at the annual organization than
he does Of the welfare of the school
pupils and taxpayers. Such an official
merits eastigation at the hands of all
who value honest public service, even
though the public itself appear indif-
ferent.
In this connection, what is the mat
ter with the York state plan--very ia
vorably in operation, for instance, at
Albany-of appointive school boards of
limited size, serving the city at large
and answerable any moment to the
mayor? ..

benefit of fair trial, before an upright
judge and jury mainly composed OF
honest farmers, His defense was coh-
Quoted by able lawyers, who left no stone
unturned that might screen their client
or avert the consequences of his crime
After conviction the case was carried 10
the Supreme court Of the United states,
the tribunal OF last resort. and hnally an
appeal was made to President Mckinney.
Meanwhile one of the most powerful lob
bes ever organized for such purpose
pleaded the convicts cause. A defeated
presidential candidate, a governor whose
name we suppress in very shame, sena-
tors and representativ of the United
States were enlisted In his behalf on one
or another pretext. Citizens OF chicago
were dragooned into sgnins petitions Tor
the release of the wretch for whose IN
carce ration they prayed. In how many
cases these signatures were the price paid
for the closing of closet doors on FAMILY
skeletons nobody except Dunlop ana his
satellites will ever know.
The pretense that politics had anything
to do with Dun,op's punishment Is al
most too absurd for refutation. Dunlop
was never politician except for revenue.
His newspaper was never even a Kept
mistress: 1t was a common prostitute.
Not until it's editor had fallen into the
clutches of the law did 1t espousc the
cause Of the Popccrats, and then only be-
cause the stipulated subsidy was not
forthcoming from the other one of the
two great political parties. In no respect

so-called newspaper factor in the presi-

slums to echo Dunlop's incendiary out

classes Sympathy for such an outrager
of public decency, for such q buccanecr in
journalism. would be as much out Of place
as a prescription of a Turkish bath for a
sewer rat.
This language might sound too Sc
we're were it not literally true. The
Chicago Dispatch, prior to Dunlop's ar
rest, was without exception the dirti-
est rag printed. Not only did it offer
its advertising columns as a clearing
house for the vicious, but it deliberate
ly set out to peddle in its news columns
the salacious scandal of Chicago. Some
of its issues would have put to shame
the most hardened courtesan in the
blackest depths. For months not one
issue of it was fit to be handled with
a pair of tongs. Dunlop made a de-
liberate choice of the business of pur-
veying printed nastiness, and his conse.
quent brief Imprisonment is the small
est punishment that should be meted
out to him.
