SEVERAL METHODS OF VfNDIcA
TON.

1t has at last penetrated the Sodden
intelligence of some of the Republican
organs that the charges made by Mr..
Jordan against Warden Wolfer cannot
be whistled down the wind. This is a
case where addition, division and 81
lence" will not work. Although the
policy Of the clam has been followed
thus far by the warden, the board Of
control and the governor. there is a
restless feeling, almost a certainty, in
every Republican mind that this course
is equivalent to a confession.
At least one Republican newspaper
has undertaken the task Of explaining
that the board of control cannot In
vestigate the conduct of Mr.. Wolfer or
vindieate itself because it possesses too
great authority. Seated on its lofty
| pedestal, and wrapped around by the
| impenetrable folds Of it's own virtue, it
! is bathed in tears because no greater
authority than itself can be found to
whom it might appeal in emergencies
| like this for an inquiry and a certificate
of character.
| The pathetic appeal would be better
| considered had the board shown the
| slightest desire to have the facts
| known; had it not, on the contrary,
| from the first, lent its whole influence
to policy of concealment Whatever
| bers Of the board of control or any Of
| them, their official conduct in this case
| is hardly less than scandaIous. They
know that If Warden Wo1fer is or has
been financially interested in the prison
| shoe company he ought to be dismissed
| and sent without a character into the
world. It is their business to find out
whether he is or not. The charge was
made specifically to them in their Off
cial capacity, and their only response
was to hush the matter up; and the
fact that charges had been made would
never have been made known outside
| their body had not T he Clio b e OBJ
tanned and published the statement.
| Upon the board of control and upon
the governor, whose appointees, crea-
lures and proteges they are, rests the
whole burden of responsibility until
! further action is taken. There is no
body of men holding public place in
mighty board of control, so exalted that
proper tribunal to investigate it can
not be constituted. There is none, we
may add, so low that 1t would pass
over in silence accusations such as have
! been made, holding a bare denial ade-
quate as a substitute for that searching
| inquiry and public report which in
iured innocence most desires.
The view that the public takes in
this matter is finally beginning to per-
meate the Republican mind. Every day
of padlocked lips adds to the weight of
public distrust and condemnation. The
parties accused, the board of control
and the governor have lost already
time so precious that it cannot be re-
gained. That is nothing to what they
will lose if they do not speedily realize
that their course thus far has con-
demned themselves in the estimation of
the people.
