cor ANorHER GUESS


The Evening Journal attempts TO ex-
cuse the contracting OF heavy bills for
special legal services TO the city, but
its effort is a very lame affair. and
leaves those responsible for such waste
OF the public funds in a worse plight
than they were before our contempo-
rary came forward as their special de-
fender and apolOgist- Z
The Evening Journal, on the con-
trary, never excused the contracting
OF heavy bills for special legal SER
vices. We have made it clear to every
one. save the Star, that tho practice
of engaging outside counsel is inde-
fensible But we have simply put the
blame where il belongs. We thinl,

PENINSULA PRESS

The real cause OF the Addicksites'
opposition to Balls denomination is at
last revealed. They are afraid of his
influence and his popularity. They
know that he has always met any and
every Union Republican who has Come
Go him half way and has always done
what he could to assist them in any
favor they have asked OF him. They
know that his cordial treatment OF all;
tho success he has had in securing ap-
preparations for rivers; his efforts in
behalf OF old soldiers and the great
record he has made and the influence
he has been able to WELD in his first
term. has already made him a power,
which Addicks fears. They know that
another term will enable him to do
more for the people Of this State and
shake the weakening hold Addicks has
had on our people This is the reason
these Addicks leaders are trying to do
all they can TO prevent Congressman
Ball from appointing Union Republi-

THEY LIKE SLOW WATERS.
Folks Who Would Rather See ana

"Thatl woman ,will make a kick be-
fore her orderSis filled" said a head
waiter at an uptown restaurant one
evening, pointing toIa well dressed wo-
man who sat withjan elderly man at
one of the small stables in the palm

asked.

Travelling In Japan.

A writer describing scenes on Japa-
nese railways says when native Jady
enters the car she slips her feet
from her tiny shoes. stands upon the
seat and then sits demurely with her
feet doubled beneath her. A moment
later she lights a cigarette or her little
pipe. which holds just tobacco enough
to produce two good whiffs of smoke.
All japanese people sit with their feet
upon the seat of the car and not as Eu-
ropeans do. When the ticket collector,
attired in a blue uniform, enters the
car, he removes his cap and twice
bows politely. He repeats the bows as
he comes to each passenger to collect
the tickets from them.

PARDON THESE MEN

AS an act OF common humanity, we
ask cur Board of Pardons If the re-
lease of the four men confined in Dover
iail for an assault on the Milford Neck
farmer. cannot be pardoned? In view
of all the circumstances, we think they
have been punished sufficiently and
innocent ones are suffering with them.
We refer to the fox hunters case. We
all know the story; one farmer shot
the dogs OF the four hunters, and they
retallated later by an unwarranted as
sault on the offender. There was no
excuse for it, and we said so at the
time. They were convicted and sem
fenced, and have been confined to the
Jail for several months.
Three of them are farmers, and their
families have been Obliged to struggle
along as best they could; their prop
erty is going TO waste and their fami-
lies are broken-hearted. The father Of
one OF the men. a respectable old man
Of eighty years, has taken to his bed
broken over the disgrace. The old
mother Of two OF the boys Is left alone
to fight the battle against financial
ruin The young wife of another is he
roisally bearing her burden alone.
These young men are not common
desperadoes, but were always consid-
cred as respectable, industrious young
men. They committed a grave misde-
meanor. and have spent months in re-
GREETING their act. That this is true is
attested in their every utterance to
their friends They want to go back
to their homes and by their lives show
that their rash act is repented Of
They live In a community where sew
cral thousand citizens are deeply in
terested in their case. If every one
Of these was approached. not a dozen
would oppose their pardon. Practi-
cally this whole people, rich and poor,
Democrat and Republican, is asking
the board to extend its mercy. Many
OF these were glad Of the conviction;
they thought an example should be
made Some of them at first refused to
sign a petition for pardon. Now they
think the time for clemency has ar
rived. and that mercy should be ex-
tended.
The Board OF Pardons was not ere
ated to listen to every plea, and to ex-
tend clemency in every case. Neither
was it intended as a body to refuse
mercy Certain pardons have been
criticised; that has nothing TO do with
this case. In view OF all the circum-
stances. We are sure that a pardon
would give satisfaction to all who are
familiar with the ease. Justice has
been vindicated; the men have been
punished, and vengeance is not con-
templated in our system of punish
ments. In the name Of humanity, then,
we say, pardon these men.

ABOUT ExPEDIENCY

Once in awhile a Regular Republican
from principle. turns into an Addicks
man from expediency. The order is
rarely reversed. Now expectancy is
a motive that more often concerns per-
sonal action. than party action. 1t is
safe to assume that one who would
urge a party TO do a wrong thing would
not find It difficult TO do wrong things
himself. from a similar motive. We
lay that down as a principle whtch
cannot be controverted. When one
urges a body OF men 10 betray solemn
trust imposed by the compact OF gov
ernment, It is only logical to suppose
that he would do the same thing TO &C
complish a personal end.
There is no getting away from the
fact that when a party is urged to
descend from its high plane and perDe-
trate wrong. the person advising that
move stamps his system Of ethics as on
a plane with the ideals OF the conduct
ne urges This is said with no desire
to unduly reflect on individual conduct,
but to keep before our minds the tests
that should be applied to those assum-
ing to be leaders.
IL is for the reason above given, that
the brightest sophists have avoided
the plea Of expediency. and have
sought to cloak their schemes in right
: eousness. One who says; This course,
l admit. is wrong. but it is expedient
for us 30 pursue il, needs more than
a lifetime in which TO explain. Such
a person, at least politically. is not TO
be trusted. for the doctrine OF expedi-
ency may be carried so far that the
ten commandments are swallowed up
and forgotten
Human conduct Is not based on a
shifting code Of morals; right is right
and wrong is wrong. Il is true that
human beings are constantly furnish
ing the factor Of error, but that which
saves from destruction is the constant
ideal to which even fallahle men cling
Send forth a prophet, then, preaching
the doctrine Of expediency, and let men
accept it, and the pillars OF church and
State begin TO fall around us.

is possible, he said that the English
men, who are trained athletes, may come
over and give exhibitions at the military
tournament at Madison Square Gardens
next spring, and such exhibitions, he
added, might prove interesting to Ameri-
cans as showing the results of physical
training in England. The English train

at American military posts.
