Hall Game, the last time he was in
Philadelphia, spent the evening with
me at the University Club" said a
Philadelphia journalist. His con
versation was very brilliant. 1t was
very striking.
"Hall Game said that he could learn
4 lesson from the very loWliest. He
said Il bishop could learn a lesson from
IL convict. On that point he told me
a true story.
"A bishop, riding in his carriage on
the Isle of Man, came to a convict in
his striped clothes, breaking stones on
the road.
Tine bishop talked to the convict
little while. giving him some advice
and encouragement. Then, as he got
ready to drive on, he said, with a
smile and sigh:
"'Ah. my man. I wish I could break
up the stony hearts of my people rs
you break these rocks on the high
way.
From his lowly attitude the convict
looked up at the proud bishop in his
magnificent equipagc.

A FRESH COMPLICATION.

A TELEGRAM from Cheyenne tells
II Of a new complication that has
arisen as a result Of the unseating of
Governor Adams Of Colorado. 1t ap-
pears that when Adams was seated
many bets that had been made against
him were paid. Now the losers are
claiming the money. on the strength Of
the fact that Peabody was sworn in
and held office for few. hours. The
winners claim they bet that Adams
would be the next governor of Colo
ladc.
On that basis they win. They also
wiz II they wagered that Governor
Adams would receive a plurality Of all
the votes cast at the November cleo
ton in Colorado. Nobody seriously
disputes the assertion that he did have
such plurality. Even the Republicans
who stole the sovernorship admitted
that by the very fact that they could
not muster strength enough to give
the place To Peabody for the term.
And, after ali. we do not see how a
man who calls himself honest would
want to collect money wagered on the
proposition that Peabody would be
elected governor Peabody was not
elected governor. The fact that the
EovernOrship was stolen for him for a
brief period or time did not make him
the lawful governor. IN order for his
friends to win wagers on him it was
necessary for him to be lawfully
elected. Under no stretch of the i'm
agitation can this be honestly claimed
We are perfectly aware of the fact
that sporting men usually abide by the
referees decision and in this case it
viii be contended that the referee was
The legislature. But there is also a rule
among square sporting men that
money that is won dishonesty need
not be paid If there is cheating in a
poker game, for example and one Of the
players has given q check for his los
ings before he discovers he has been
defrauded, he may stop payment on
the check without FORGETTING his stand
ing among decent players.
1t is fair to contend, therefore, that
men who would accept money on the
Colorado swindle are no better than
the swindlers themselves. They lost
fairly enough. 1t is too late for them
to attempt to recover.

PRESIDENT SMITHS DILEMMA.

n AN ADDRESS Mt the tabernacle
on Sunday, President Joseph r
Smith cOntroverted without quali1ca-
Ton his testimony regarding revela-
ions before the SmoOt committee.
President Smith told the committee
that he had received 10 revelations
himself. There was no qualification
about his answer to Senator HOar, who
brought out the broadcast declaration
on this subject, nor was there any
question as to the intent of President
Smiths testimony generally. It was
an unequivocaI. absolute declaration
that he had had no revelations.
On Sunday President Smith ex-
planned that he had testified as he did
because his critics were trying to get
him into trap. That is. the head of
the Mormon church. testifying under
oath, told the Smoot committee one
thing and now tells his own people an
other because some one at Washing
ton was trying to trap him.
The Herald appreciates the deIicacy
or President Smiths position: it under
stands something of the tangled web
the Smoot case has woven for him and
for his church as an organization it
would add nothing unnecessarily to his
difficulties, but it does believe he ought
to explain his explanation further.
How can a trap be laid for the man
who testifes truthfulIy, straightfor-
wardly? How could his deadliest enemy
have asked a more bitter ordeal than
President Smith himself was forced to
undergo because of Senator Shoots
appearance in politics? What harm
could befsI a man who. honestly be-
leviBg he received revelations, de
cIared that belief unreservedly2 Why
should a man honored with divine
guidance i'm the form of revelation
hesitate To proclaim the fact at every
opportunity; and why, of all men,
should he make one statement under
oath which he felt impeIIed to repudi-
ate publicly afterward?
Sincerely and without any feeling in
the matter. we believe President Smith
owes it to himself and his people. he
owes it TO the senate OF the United
States and the whole people TO explain
more fully the astonishing conflict in
his two most conspicuous public
declarations. Unless he can reconcile
the apparently irreconcilabIe, he must
re.aain imDaled on the horns OF
dilemma of his own creation.

SOUTHERN PEONAGE DOOMED

4 LTHONGH THE DEFENDANT in
y the particular case at issue may
| escape punishment through a techni-
cality, the United States supreme
court struck a death blow at the
peonage system in the south in it's
opinion in the CIyatt prosecution.
Clyatt is a Georgia man who went to
Florida after two negroes whom he
claimed were indebted to him. He
forced them TO return TO his Georgia
plantation to work out the debts. For
this he was arrested by a United States
marshal under the federal statute en-
acted in 1867 which was designed to
prevent the arresting. holding or re
turning any individual to a state of
DeOnaEe.
Clyatt was acquitted because he was
indicted for returning the negroes to
peonage. d state Of facts which was not
shown BY the evidence, although the
lower court convicted him and sem
fenced him 10 serve four years in the
penitentiary. The supreme court held,
however, that the statute is entirely
constitutional and that prosecutions
/ under it may and should be made
whenever there is evidence sufficient to
warrant the action.
one of the crying evils in some
southern states has been the peonage
system. White men have permitted
negroes to contract debts with them
and have then practically owned the
blacks until the debts were worked out.
No matter where the negro went he
was liable to be followed and brought
back. thus establishing sort Of slavery
that the nation could hardly afford to
tolerate. Nevertheless prosecutions
have not been numerous and, on many
oCca sions defendants have escap ped
scot free when they should have been
punished severely.
The C1yatt ease is the first oDpor-
tunity the supreme court has had to
pass on the question OF the consti-
nationality Of the law. Now that it
has been affirmed it is entirely prob
able that pending cases viii he pushed
and new ones instituted.

ENTIRELY TOO MODEST

money in celebrations and to devote
their savings TO war charities is being
universally obeyed"
It was the late Admiral John Philip.
commander of the Texas at the battle
OF Santiago, who said to his fighting
men as they started battle shout:
Don't cheer. boys, those poor devils
are dying" Admiral Philip was a
Christian warrior. The japanese are
following his example. They rejoice. of
course, when they win victories, but
there are no more noisy celebrations.
Their action is a commendable de-
parture from the usual order. Every
Japanese victory in Manchuria means
thousands of Russian and Japanese
widows and orphans; every battle fills
thousands Of new graves; every con-
hict means wounds and torture and
agony that are often worse than death
itself. War is too deadly now to
cheer. 1t is a grim. terrible thing that
must hold the world in awe and horror.
1t is a thing to have over with as
quickly as possible, to the end that
there may be fewer new graves, fewer
cripples. fewer widows and orphans
Another fine thing in the recent dis
patches is the manly attitude taken
by General Kuropat1in- Though he
knew he had been disgraced and dis
missed from the army he made no eff
fort TO shift the responsibility. g!
alone am to blame for the defeat of
our army in Manchuria.' he said, in
a telegram to the ear. Not many
commanders would have been big
enough for that: not many could have
resisted the temptation, and heaven
knows KurOpatkin had temptation
enough. to offer excuses, TO make pleas
for synpathY.
