HYPOCRISY. CANT. sruEFn!

when ex-senator Higgins was asked
by a reporter OF the Philadelphia Led
ger what he thought OF corruption at
elections IN Delaware he is reported as
exciaiminsi Hypocrisy can't stunt"
At first blush we were Inclined TO be-
iieve that his exclamation was due to
his unbelief in the existence OF corrup-
tion Of the ballot yet he makes his po-
sition clear when he goes on to explain
that votes hnve always been bought in
Delaware. Nr. Higgins means some
thing. and because OF his former prom
inent position in the party he may ex-
pect to have his words duly Interpreted
His language viii bear but one inter-
pretation--that opposition to bribery
Indicates hypoorisy--that he holds it
10 be stun and nonsense.
1t may be sot down right here that
a majority OF the Regular Republicans
OF Delaware do not agree with him.
and that they hold il a crime 10 debauch
a great part Of our electorate and TO
virtually make public office question
of barter. That idea has been the
source Of the troubles in the Republican
party. There is little doubt that the
Republicans united and opposing cor
rrption would now have heen triumph
ant, while with an tho vote-buying only
a partial victory can be secured.
Because he once led the party we had
a right to expect a higher code from
Mr.. Higgins. I rue. there has always
beon corruption in Delaware, but it has
increased ten-fold l.. the last dozen
ye~rs. Are those who wlsh to sac IL

This debauchery is so extensive as
to make one shudder. In several dis
tricts more votes are bought than those
cast by freemcn. Half Of the men who
sit in the Legislature to make our laws
have not been legally elected 1t is
safe TO say that in Kent and Sussex
counties more than one-half OF the
votes that make up the Union Repuo-
lican strength are bought. The colored
men who were once regarded as the
wards OF the Republican party have
been debauched until they have grown
shameless and lost their self-respect.
Yet TO talk abou. it hypocrisy can't

viewed from different standpoints.
Politics may suggest the blinking at
bribery as long as the money Is ON our
side. but the man who keeps uppermost
his ideas Of right and wrong, who holds
honesty and patriotism above personal
or party advantage, will have nothing
| but reprobation for such system.

MILITANT HONESTY.

In his address to the Bishops the
other day President Roosevelt spoke
certain truths which it would be well
for all Americans to ponder. There is
a feeling somewhat prevalent that our
estimate OF the old-fashioned virtues
must be tempered by the success OF in
dlviduals in their employment. some~
way we have learned TO be lenient with
the cunning rogue who crowns his
scheming with success and becomes a
captain OF industry or United
States Senator. President Roosevelt
makes II clear that innate and militant
honesty is the quality by which men
are to be judged, and if he shall sue
ceed by his acts and his voice In inn
pressing his faith on the American peo-
pie he will have accomplished great
work as President. Read this:
There are certain great princi-
pies. such as those which Crom-
well would have called fundamen-
tails. concerning which no man has
a right TO have but one opinion.
Such a question is honesty. II you
have not honesty in the average
private citizen. In the average pub
lie servant, then all else goes for
nothing The ablar a man is. the
more deXterous. the shrewder, the
, bolder. why, the more dangerous
he Is II he has not the root of right
living and right thinking In him
and that IN private life and even
more in public life. Exactly as IN
time of war, although you needed
in each fighting man far more than
courage, yet all else counts for
nothing II there is not that cour-
age upon which TO base Il. so in our
civil life, although we need that the
[ average man, In private life. that
the average public servant shall
have Tar more than honesty, yet all
other qualities go for nothing or for
worse than nothing unless honesty
, underlies them-honesty IN public
life and honesty in private life: not
only the honesty that keeps its
skirts technically clear, but the
honesty that IS such according TO
, the spirit as well az the letter OF
the law; the honesty that Is ag-
grcssive, the honesty that not
merely deplores corruption-it is

From the Des Moines Register and
Leader
There seems to be no reason to doubt
the authenticity of Mr.. Bryan's Iowa
City interview in which he said, speak
ing of President Roosevelt:
''lIe is "a strong man OF noble char
acter. and as brave a soldier. man OF
great executive ability. with wide
knowledge OF statecraft and politics,
he Is very popular with the people-es-
pecially in the West. I think. how
ever that he and certain members Of
his cabinet are not in harmony. There
is no man in the Republican party. l
believe. who has stronger hold on
the rank and file OF the American peo-
pie, and there is no one who commands
the respect OF the nations 10 a greater
degree. and who can WELD n stronger
influence upon the world at large than
he"
Without seeking Tor any hidden po-
litioal meaning in Mr.. Bryan's tribute
TO the President. 80 is certainly
a most remarkable encomium. II rare

The Difference in congressman.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The salaries Of Congressman can never
be fairly and equitably arranged. Some
members are well worth 5000 a year and
others are not worth cents. Some look
upon a seat in the House of Representa-
tives and the salary as a means of get
ting and saving more money than they
can make In their business at home. Will,
others are willing TO pay more for a nom
nation and elec7iOn than their salary ioi
two years amounts ITO. No means can b,
devised OF paying statesmen "by tn,
piece" So II must rest with the voter,
in each district TO get the best they car
for the money.

BONAPARTE SELECTED
WILL CONDUCT INVESTIGATION
IN INDIAN TERRITORY.
Inquiry Will Embrace All Charges
That HavesAppeared in
the Press,


1t was announced at the Interior Depart
ment today that Charles Joseph Bonaparte
had accepted the Invitation Of Secretary
Hitchcock to take charge Of the investiga-
ton of certain Indian territory affairs and
officials under the Jurisdiction Of the De-
partment of the Interior.
The scope of the Investigation, 1t Is said,
will be sufficiently eenprehensive to en-
brace all statements within the knowledge
of the Interior DEPARTMENT. including all
that have appeared in the public press. and
all other matters that may, at any time,
come to the notice1Sof the Investigating
officials. which, in any respect, reflect upon
the official character. conduct or acts of the
DAVIS commission, or any member thereof.
and the inspector for the Indian territory.
While these are primarily the objects of
the investigation, it is understood that 1t
will be extended to such other persons and
things in the Indian territory, over which
the Interior Department has supervision, as
may be deemed by Mr.. Bonaparte to be for
the welfare of the service, or as may be re-
ferred to him by the Secretary Of the In
or.
Or. Bonaparte is only the counsel espe-
clally employed by the government in the
pending Post Office Department investiga-
lions.
