JUSTICE HooKER'S CASE.

The case of Mr. Justice Hooker is obviously In
a state of unstable equilibrium. No miracle can
keep il suspended, like Mahomet's CONN, In MID
air. Something is going TO fall. Eltner MS rep
utation must be vindicated and the charges OIL
discreditable conduct must drop TO the ground,
or he must, willingly or unwillingiy' descend
from the bench. There is the necessary dilemma
1t may take time to reach CONCLUSION Dut a
conclusion will be reached in one way or an
other. if not by the high spirited eHort OF tne
accused Judge TO clear his own reputation, theh
by summons TO judgment; If not through the
agency of the bar, then through the demand OF
an aroused citizenship.
We have no prejudice against Justice Hooker
and have refrained from comment on the
charges which have been the subject OF consld-
Grafton by the State Bar Association Tor many
months We have no intention now 10 pass
Judgment on the strength of the statements SET
forth in the Grievance Committees report not
withstanding the fact that these statements
seem TO come from an authoritative source
and 10 be uncontradicted. That report how
ever. stares us in the face; 1t stares every htl-
CANT and every honest citizen in the race
While ii stands, not merely not disIroved' Dut
undenied that confidence in judicial integrity
which lies at the foundation of our administra-
ton Of justice must be in danger
1t is beside the mark to say that the ohences
charged were committed in polucai' anu hoe
in a judicial capacity. A man is man. not
two men. If he is dishonest in the street ne
does not by q spiritual transformation become
honest the instant he ascends the bench. Jus
tice Hooker is charged with having, while a
Judge defrauded the United States government
for his own financial profit. If the transactions
occurred as stated, and have not been mlsrep-
resented or insuf1ciently presented by the COM
mittee, which had no power TO swear witnesses
and investigate thoroughly, then Justice Hooker
is morally unfit for his office. If, on the other
hand this report does him injustice, the fact
should be made clear.
The impotent conclusion of the Bar Associa-
tion's inquiry operates TO the injury OF every
body concerned, and Of nobody more than JUS
tice Hooker himself. His professed friends who
sought TO prevent the clearing up or the charges
and voted to leave him under this cloud are real
ly his enemies. If he hopes for continued ca
reer of usefulness and honor, he should now
force investigation by a competent tribunal
The matter has become a scandal which con-
Germs not merely Justice Hooker but the fair
fame Of our judicial administration.

The news which comes from Santo Domingo
Of the negotiation Of a protocol between the
government Of that republic and our Own will
surprise nobody who has thoughtfully followed
the vagaries Of Dominican history. Despite
some good qualities and laudabe efforts, the
Dominican Republic has not been successful
Years ago its difficulties and fears for the future
led it to seek annexation TO the United States
Denied that privilege, it apparently lost heart
Certainly it has since then gone from bad to
worse, until now it's condition is wellnigh in

realize it. but are apparently unable TO remedy
The evils. 1t would be bad enough if only the
Dominioans were concerned. But the interests
Of this country and Of other powers are direct
ly concerned, so that there is an international
demand that something shall be done and, If
the United States VIII not permit any other
nation TO do ii, there seems TO fall upon
this nation moral responsibility to do it it.

The responsibility assumed under this proto-

rlty, since we have practically been doing that

fruism that those who hold the pursestrIngs
OF a nation control that nation. There is, we
suppose little doubt that under proper admin

orderly and prosperous condition That such

toxic action, but starvation. By the precipita-
ton of microscopic plants to the bottom or

that copper sulphate and lime both perform this
function admirably, but they worked better In
combination than separately and singly. An
other useful application of the same chemicals,
whose possibilities have not been fully realized,
is to deodorization. DIR. Doty says that they
are not only cheap and convenient but wonder
fully effective also By making the solution
which is employed for such purposes sufhclently
strong 1t will neutralize the most offensive

clusiOns. Both men have noticed that the ba-
cillus of cholera succumbs more quickly than
that of typhoid fever, and that to kill either of
them much stronger solution is needed than
is requisite to remove algR. DR.. Doty expresses
no opinion about the expediency of suppressing
disease germs by introducing this agent into
city reservoirs; but his agreement with DR..
Moore regarding the quantity which would be
required to do any good will strengthen the
misgivings which have already been excited
There is a growing conviction that filtration is
