FALL oE cHAuNcEY pEPsw.

Senator Plat. colleague OF Senator
Depew, defends the latter and vouches
for him
But who vouches for Platt?
In the course Of the defense Of his
fellow. Senator Plat says that Senator
Depew is too great a man to remain
down because Of his grating Of the
Equitable. Platt says Depew will rise
again"
There is a saying that you can't keep
go,'G man down. But is Depew that
sort Of a good man?
Also the poet tells US It is possible
to rise on the stepping stones of our
dead selves to higher things
But this rising. as scripture abund-
antly proves. IS conditioned upon re
pentance. And Chauncey Depew is far
frCin penitent In his Paris interview
he says he has done nothing wrong,
He really did render some advice 70,

The public is not so complaisant as
your fellow. Mr. Platt. He looks at
high pressure finance and its ways that
are dark from your angle of vision. And
his point of view is not the public's.
