Lawson in the West.

The Chicago Chronicle regards il
STANCE and omlnous' that Mr.. Lawson
is 10 speak in the west on the invitation
OF several western governors. This IS
not because Mr. Lawson is not speaking
the truth in his disclosures OF the
methods pf high finance. but because
MIR. Lawson is not the man from whom
the truth should be heard.
The Chronicle rrises a question as
old as human testimony. Shall the
truth itself be believed if it comes from,
a questionable source. Unfortunately
Tor the Chronicle its view has never
prevailed The world weighs the Wit
ness, takes into account his record his
motives and his bearings, but ALWAYS
hears his testimony.
II sometimes happens that the only
man VINO IS IN position to tell the truth
must turn states evidence. When has
any court failed To treat with considera-
ton the witness who faithfully narratcs
the COMMISSION OF crime in which he
was one OF the participants If the
court did not put premium on such
testimony the real inside facts of a
great deal OF the worlds wickcdness
would never he disclosed.
Assuming that Mr. Lawson is no bet
ter than the men he exposes. the mere
fact that he is exposing them entities
him to Il hearing He has been in posi-
ton, as nobody else, to know what they
were doing: he is one of the few men
whose wealth and physical courage are
equal to the undertaking. he has not
been successfully impeached nor dis
credited. In fact. the disclosures in the
Equitable have been more lurid than
his prospectus promised
There is nothing strange and omi-
nous about the appearance of Law
son in the west. Lawson, in his way, is
dong what a lot of other rcforncrs are
doing Why should the Chronicle com
mend Paul Morton and Grover Clevc-
land for insisting that there must be
honesty in the Equitable when it is due
largely TO Lawson that they have had
an opportunity to act1-Dcs Moines
MIR. Lawson will speak at the
Chautauqua in Mo. Valley July
18th, and every person inter-
ested in the great fight he is
making against the encroach-
ments of the money power of
the east should hear him.

wRANGLING FREQUENT.
During the examination wranglings be-
tween Budd and District Attorney Bying-
ton were frequent. Several times Budd
accused the prosecuting attorney OF mis-
conduct and overzealousness.
Maestretti denied emphatcally the al
legation in the indictment that a consul
tation had been held in Countryman's of
fee during the preliminary Investigation
in the Police Court.
II asked no one to swear that Wyman
only voted once" he asserted 'I made

There was not.

had told him about the conversation
with Detective Miles Bolser Rolger
