BACK FIRING.

1t is a most unfortunate outcome OF
the Shercliffe exposure that certain
newspapers, in their haste to defend
Secretary Shaw from reflections cast
upon his motives by the evidence, have
forced the matter into politics by
charging the present governor with re-
sp0nsibility for melting the exposure.
This was. evidently the turn desired by
the secretary since 1T first appeared In
the Chicago Chronicle, newspaper al
though democratic yet suspected of
submitting to Shaw's dictation. because
the publisher, John Walsh. owns a
Chicago bank favored by the secretary
with government deposits. Were it,not
for the forcing of the matter into poll
tics in order to defend Shaw, the news
might be considered imparaa1ly but If
one governor is to be unjustly accused
to defend an ex-governor there will be
some to continue discussing the evil
dence until interested parties grow
tired. Whom it is remembered that the
