Coy Judge Hamilton.

There appears to be very good
reason for Judge" Andrew Hamil-
tons refusal TO return TO America
and testify before the Armstrong
Committee. No wonder Paris con-
tinues to allure. In his statement.
brought across the ocean by John
c. Mccall, he virtually admits that
large part of the money intrusted to
him by insurance companies was spent
in bribery. An admission like that
can be made only from a safe dis
tance
Judge" Hamilton's fine scruples
will prevent him, he says, from re-
svealing the names of the persons who
profited by his generosity-and the
policyholders' money. His fine sense
OF discrimination will prevent his
telling just what injury was threat
ened his clients and by just what
means and through just what
agencies it was averted In generous
abandon he does admit that there is
an open account between him and the
New York Life and processes a will
ingness to close 1t up. He thinks
there can't be more than 100000 of
the yellow dog fund" that has stuck
to his fingers in the process of pas
sage through his hands
Perhaps not. That amount in it
self is a tidy sum and not 10 be
sneezed at. by those who have not
access to the insurance millions 1t
is a reasonable certainty that had
it not been for this investigation the
account would have been permitted
to remain in the wabbly condition
which, as things stand, is causing
Judge" Hamilton so much alarm.
If there is any way of getting the
Judge" across the seas he should be
brought. Nobody will believe that
If he is hailed. into court his scruples
will survive FIVE minutes. All he
needs is the threat of a personal
danger 10 give his volubility full
swing. There would be ample reve-
lation of the industrious gentlemen
who have absorbed the hundreds OF
thousands of dollars he has spent
of their receipts and what service
they rendered in return.
No witness in the whole insurance
case is so badly needed as the
Judge" District Attorney Jerome
when he comes to give the tangled
insurance skein his intimate atten.
tion, would do well to devote special
thought to this particular thread. Il
he can draw it out-and back-it will
be great thing for the cause OF
simple honesty and plain decency.
The Washington times., 1905-12-27

healthful enough to warrant the be-
lief he may live to enjoy his gal
lery half a century longer. The
chief thought in this connection,
however, is that the regents should
never accept an offer of any sort
involving a moments responsibility
or requiring the expenditure of a
dollar of their trust fund without
inspecting it carefully, and when
there is no pressing need for haste,
men of Smithsonian caliber, serving
without pay, cannot be expected to
dash half way across the continent
over night TO the neglect of every
other interest.
Finally, the city should be assur-
ed by the character of the men who
have had this offer under considera-
ton that there has been neither
inattention nor listlessness. Our
Board of Trade may be ever so in
active and the community may be
ever so hard to energize for the gen
/ eral good But John b. Henderson,
4 Alexander Graham Bell, and Robert
/ r. Hit have accomplished too much
/ personally and have been too active
among lis as citizens and neigbbors
/ to be included IN any such judgment.
! If these men have not acted favor
ably in the matter of this gift, they
have had good ground for not doing
so. 1t is probable they have not had
so clear an offer from Mr.. Freer. 1t
] is equally probable the terms pro-
posed to them may not have been
! so advantageous. They may very
possibly not rate the collection SO
high. And ii is more than likely that
they do not regard the whole prof
ect as a justifiable drain on the re-
sources of the institution. Which OF
these explanations is the true one
or how many of them are true, The
/ Times does not need TO state now
Its chief concern rs that wholly
unwarranted aspersion on three ol
our foremost citizens should not pass
unanswered and that its readers
should not permit themselves care
sssly TO affirm ii.
The Washington times., 1905-12-27
The Regents and Mr.. Freer.

According 10 the conditions set
forth in the Presidents letter TO
Chief Justice Fuller, chancellor of the
Smithsonian Institution, either the
regents of that corporation or some
other Governmental body wonld do
well to acquire title to the Freer col
lection of paintings and art objects
without delay. Washington is rich
in art. but not so rich as she ought
to be, and The The F=eer gallery-with a
group of fine Whistlers and many
good examples of old Chinese and
Japanese composition-would be an
interesting and valuable addition to
her store. BY all means let us make
sure OF such treasures.
But the city will do well not to
jump at conclusions and blame the
regents of the Smithsonian for not
having acted conclusively in the mat
ter. That is the position of some
out-of-town newspapers, which, with
out the slightest warrant, read into
the Presidents letter a reproof of
'dilatorineSs" ON the part of the re-
gents; and one of orr Washington
papers has intimated much the same
criticism in its observation that "the
situation has been vague
for nearly a year"
The gift is not offered without con-
ditions. The President is right when
he says all that is needed now is to
accept it. But that is not all that
will be needed in the future. Once
the Smithsonian has undertaken TO
care for this collection, another cal
culation must be made. The cost of
that care is estimated roughly at
$4,000 a year-and the present in
come Of the Smithsonian is only s54,
600 year. 1t is suggested Congress
should assume this new burden, as,
of course. IL should. But Congress
does not always do as ii ought, and
the regents, as business men, must
have something more than sugges-
ton 10 warrant the Endorsement by
them of the nations note for third
of their trust income.
Were there no question of means
it would still not do to leap headlong
at any such offer-not even If the
decision were demanded ON the in
stant. AS a matter of fact the col
lection is not &c become the nations
until Mr.. Freer's death; and that
gentleman is now young enough and

Judge Paynter entered the field against
Blackburn after assurances had been
given him that he was the only man
in the State who could win out in the
Senatorial fight.
Unless a deadlock should occur. Judge
Paynter will be elected. The judge will

Washington did not belong TO the citi-

of the entire country and should be
