The committee of the New York State Bar
Association appointed at the request of
David B. Hill to investigate and report upon
the professional services he rendered to the
Equitable Life Assurance Company testi-
fies to the legitimacy OF his engagement
and to the reasonableness of his fee. While
this was expected. 1t is none the less to be
welcomed in the cause of fair play and de-
cent dealing. Except for his prominence
in politics Mr.. Hill would probably have
escaped criticism in this matter But as
soon as criticism appeared he took notice
OF IT, as he should have done, and the re-
suit is triumph for him as man, lawyer,
and politician. Like all strong men Mr..
Hill has enemies. but in this case they
quite overreached themselves.

The Republicans and 1908.

Secretary Shaw is booked for addresses
this month In several sections OF the coun-
try, and his activity is Interpreted In some
quarters as In the interest OF his presiden-
tial ambition. Never mind about that. Mr.
Shaw does right to go wherever the people
express a desire to hear him. This Is big
country and many of the people live at a
sreat distance from the seat of government
II Is but seldom they meet the higher grade
of their public servants. They know about
them only from hearsay, and from newspa-
per pictures which in some cases give good
deal of pain Nor have they the time to
crafty curiosity and make a journey. SO
when they invite their servants TO come to
them and tell what they know for the good
OF the order 1t Is the duty, as 1t should be
the pleasure, of those servants to present
themselves in the best of form.
There have been no formal announcements
in the matter of the next republican presi-
dental nomination. But the public does
not walt for announcements. 1t makes up
Its mind about politicians and their aspra-
tions from one thing and another. and then
proceeds to try their cases. 1t makes, as 1t
unmakes. candidates. Sometimes man Is
a candidate without knowing p. Sometimes
a man thinks he Is a candidate. but finds
the pubic lndlHerent ABOUT IT, oofneliI1cS
a man insists on being a candidate when
the public wonders at his delusion.
Several men are associated In popular
speculation with the Office OF President, and
it would be difficult for any of them to make
a move of a public nature without starting
gossip on the subject of 1908. Secretary
Shaw Is one of them. Secretary Taft is an
other. Mr.. Fairbanks is often spoken of,
and never leaves Washington without read
ing a report that he is hunting delegates.
Mr.. Foraker's speeches and votes in the
Senate are examined for signs as to what
his hopes may be. Mr.. Spooner is in the
game boat. And Mr.. Cannons denial of
presidential ambition has served but to
make him more of suspect than ever.
These men are all seasoned politicians.
The hand OF no one OF them could easily be
forced. From this national viewpoint they
may calmly survey the whole field. They
know what Is going on in the country, and
what this thing. or that. means. Campaign
ing Is TO them old story, and they know

Senator Burton.

Mr. Burton cannot complain Of haste or
Impotence on the part OF senators. On the
contrary, he is in their debt for an ex-
hibition Of rare consideration. Had they
responded to a frankly expressed public
sentiment they would long since have ex-
PEELED him from his office. In nearly every
section of the country-and IN no section
mere plainly than In the middle west,
where Mr.. Burton makes his home-opin-
ion has been adverse to him ever since his
first conviction of the charge brought. At
any time since his expulsion from the Sen
ate would have met with very general APP
prevail. Mr.. Bailey's resolution therefore
comes late. and testifes to the utmost for
bearance on the part OF officials who justly
have the greatest pride in the body OF
which they are members.
Mr. Burton has probably been acting I'M
der the advice Of both professional counsel
and personal friends. He has probably
been eager too to accept It. When first &C.
cused he doubtless was led to reason that
resignation of his Office would be construed.
and would act, as a confession of guilt. 1t
might prejudice his case both before the
public and In court. But from the day
OF his first trial. when the case was fully
presented. the mind of the public has been
fully made up as to the senator and his
duty.
An official under charges owes a good deal
to himself. and may be expected to take ad-
vantage OF every technicality within reach
But he also owes something to the people
who have honored him. In this case the
people Of Kansas have been very much In
jured by Mr. Burton. For not only have
they been deprived of full representation In
the Senate. but the vacant chair has been a
notifying reminder to the country of their
great embarrassment and humiliation. No
one has observed 1t without thinking of
what has filled the Sunflower state with
shame.
Mr.. Burton's case in the highest court in
the country is far beyond the slightest fear
of prejudice. He will get his due there, we
may all be certain. He himself has no fear
on that point. And when the whole story is
told II will be seen that the Senate's course
has been one of marked Kindness through
out toward 4 member who at no time
showed that he was in the slightest par
ticular mindful of it, or of its dignity and
character.

The Sophistry of Suicide.

Tragic enough in truth. was the passing
of Representative Adams OF Pennsylvania
without branding him with the suspicion OF
a mental disorder. We hear so often of the
cowardice of self-destruction-of the weak
ness of the individual who. with aid of bull
let or of poison. OF river or of rope. volun-
tarily lays down the burden OF life. If the
act be committed on the spur OF the mo-

deadly sophstry Of suicide
Mr.. Adams was serving bis seventh term
as a member Of the House. He believed he
would not be returned. He had lived all
his life without monstary cares Recently
he had lost the last dollar OF his fortune
He took his work and himself with deadly
seriousness. His colleagues were wont to
consider both as something of joke
How long Mr.. Adams studied the stua-
ton no one can tell. But two weeks ago he
purchased revolver. He had made his de-
cision There is nothing to show that he
wavered for moment. The delay does
not indicate that. For he bad work to do.

Why did those old Egyptian kings
Build pyramids and other things?
Why did they proudly carve or paint
An obelisk with figures quaint?
Why did some Roman monarch raise
A. circus in those good old days,
Or keep a poet under hire
To sound complimenting lyre2
Why did old Caesar late at night
Sit up describing every fight
Or Alexander make that bluff
And say 'the worlds not big enough?"

And see how wealth Is wrung from fame
