THE coMMIssIoNERsHIP

Ex-Senator Carter seems to have been the most influential opponent Of Judge Williams for the worlds fair commissionership. Tho Montana man says that the appointment was wanted for Judge Williams so that the latter could use his time and influence work ing for the democratic party.
 Of course Mir. Carter understands no such thing, because no one familiar with the situation could make such a mistake. Politics never entered into the matter ot Judge Williams reeom- mendation at alL To was never asked whether he was a democrat or rcpub- liean. He was regarded by the people generally as very well qualified man for the position. Besides being a man oi honor and ability he had had eNper- ieuce ln the character ot work that win be required of a commissioner, which is everything in place where the work must be done so quickly that no time win De allowed for the educa- tion Of the workers. The position is one in which politics should not count, and one in which politics does not count in the states. For instance, Elmer F. Johnston, worlds fair commissioner for the state Of Washington, isa democrat. He was appointed by board, major ity Of which were republicans, because he was considered the best fitted man for the position, and not a question as to his politics has ever been raised. He had had that essential qualification experience.
 As a matter Of fast, the objection of Mr. Carter confirms opinions that have been indulged as Co his calibrc before. His idea ot good state,manship is Co be a good "pie" chaser. His whole mind is devoted to partisanship and public "pap"

THE GRAFTERs

THE GRAFTERS
The words graft and "grafters'
may be slang, but they have come into
general use especially in the eastern
cities. AS originally used it was a
thiefs term signifying the line of
operation of different thieves. Then
it was applied to the police, who for
the money paid them allowed gam
bling dens and houses of prostitution
to run unmolested, and similar things
of that nature. Then the word was
used in wider sense, tariff graft
ers,' trust grafters," franchise
grafters" and others were included.
Prosecuting Attorney Jerome of
New York city recently delivered an
address to large assembly of organ
lied labor in Cooper Institute. The
speech was frank and fair. That it
was received by the audience with ap-
probation shows that the membership
of organized labor in that city is
composed of sensible men. Among
other things, Mr.. Jerome, as reported
in the New York Herald, said:
Il want to say a few words
about graft. 1t underlies our
whole economic fabric. You can't
have bribery unless there is some
one ready to offe' bribes. l know
you think there is nothing the
Pennsylvania cannot get in
Pennsylvania and the New York
Central in this state and the New
Haven road in Connecticut, but
police officers, too, have been
known to take graft and perhaps
liquor dealers know something
about the giving of it, but don't
you think the labor unions are the
only impeccable thing in this
world. I don't think so.
Il said at an east side meeting
not long ago that there were many
labor leaders who could be bought,
boots and breeches. That's what
| said and that's what 1 stand by.
II / am in error, | am ready to
change when I am convinced Ac-
cusations like that have been
banded about at federation meet
ings. Now, don't care a conti-
mental for your votes. I am per-
fectly able to go en- earning a fair
living in this town when l go out
of office. I have kept my self-re-
spect and have told the truth on
all occasions, or at least, told the
truth as far as I knew it, and
nobody has any string on me, nor
ever has had, nor, hope, ever
will have
Again the audience applauded
vigorously and then Mr.. Jerome
went on: "But l. do want your
sympathy and your support. do
want every decent man to stand
back Of me in every decent effort
for bettering this community. All
my life have devoted to trying
to better municipal conditions.
