Fair Play In Politics.

Speaking OF a proposed investiga-
ton Of Warden Lands OF the pehi.
tentlsry, National Committeeman LIE,
land day before yesterday gave utter.
ance TO the following:
II am sorry that there is populIst
on Ehe committee appolnWd to lnVes-
tigate Hoffman Hnd Limhocker,
"Why have q pop on the committee
1t only delays the game. 1t is the
duty of the committee TO return a
verdict against The person invastigat.
ed. We all understand that VIZ ought
to he STRAIGHTFORWARD, have q commit
tee of five republicans and DO the
business in short order. It ia the
common law that the sppointive Of
hcers shall change hands with the
elective officers, and the sppointee
who hasn't the decenCy to get out
when his administration IS turned
down, ought to be removed. That's
my view of the case"
Mr.. Lelsnd's political ideas are
pretty we'll understood in the state
and they are expressed to the letter
IN the above. His "view Of the case''
will not be the view which presents
itself as fair and deceDt to the average
voter, who does not 70 to the polls
every two years for the mere purpose
of turning a lot Of officeholders out
and putting another lot in, regardless
Of the general interests Of government.
Mr.. Leland's view Of the case is de.
termlned by the fact that large part
of his business is TO provide the candi-
dates to fill the vacancies which he is
impatient to see created before the ex.
piratlon of the terms Of office fixed by
law.
There is q strong sense OF fair play
in the American people and good pol
itics does not disregard it, while poll
ticians who disregard 1t and who
sheer at square dealing with the op-
position generally succeed in doing
much more harm than good to the
party they profess to serve. Capital.

Hully Geel While Governor Stan

taking u pleasure trip to Port Arthur,
his private secretary was in Washing

old state never missed them. We
think we remember that republicans
objected vociferously to Governor
Leedy's neglecting state affairs to
make a similar trip. By the way
didn't Bro. Stanley roast the senate

have been at work. And didn't the

Bank Commissioner Breldenthsl
has proved himself to be an unusual

banks under his control up TO "taw"

reports of state banks he inserts an
additional paragraph to the intent
that the depoSitors may know how
much Of their deposits is used by the
stockholders. The paragraph reads:
Bankers will please take notice that
the blanks for next call will contain
an item Of Loans to stockholders and
the amount Of loans to s!ockholderf,

that the issue will not be squsrely

Engineers and their engines are to
DO divorced on two Of the railroad
systsms diverging from Chicago.
Hereafter on the Milwaukee and
Santa Fe roads all engines will be
pooled and run continuously, regard

being run beyond the river and lay
ing up IN the round house while his
master sleeps. Since the time when
the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary, railroad engines have
been assigned to particular men. But
in the interest of business, traditions
are to be disregSrded and superstition
thrown to the winds by the pooling
plan that will go into effect on these
two roads at once. A fact not gener-
ally known is that railroad companies
lose thousands Of dollars every year
by sdhering to the custom Of keeping
one engineer to one engine Under
the new plan one engine will do ss
