uEYBURN'S QUEER POSITION.

The position taken by Senator Hey
burn of Idaho with reference to inter-
ference in politics by federal office
holders indicates that the gentleman
is a long way behind the times. In a
talk to the Republican state conven-
ton at Pocatello, Mr.. Hepburn said:
When l am instrumental in the ap-
pointment of any man to Office and he
writes to me that he is out of politics
because he is in Office, l see TO it that
ne gets out of office as soon as posi-
bic"
The senator attempted to qualify this
statement by defining a politician as
one who takes an interest in the gov
eminent of his country. and that all
good citizens should take an interest.
With reference TO the average citizen
Mr.. Hepburn is right; with reference to
federal OfficehOlders he is decidedly
wrong. The trouble about the latter is
that they never lose sight of the power
that appointed them and they are for
that power, right or wrong. The ques-
ton of good government or bad cuts
no figure with them whatsoever. When
Senator Hepburn insists that such
men should get into politics he prac-
ticany advocates the construction of
machines kept oiled and in running or
der by federal and other patronage.
The Senator from Idaho and Spokane
should remember another point. The
officeholder's time does not belong to
him, but TO the people. He is not, by
virtue of his office, the master of the
people He is their servant. And
every time he. leaves the work he is
paid by the public to do in order that
he may further in some way the polit-
ical fortunes Of the individual who ap-
pointed him, he is by that much rob-
bling the people. We do not see how
Senator Hepburn can get away from
this proposition.
But Senator Hepburn is oldfash-
toned i'm other respects. He is against
the election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people, perhaps
because he realizes that in a straight
contest before the people of Idaho his
chance of election would be extremely
slim. The senator believes the protec-
tive tariff is a holy and a sacred insti-
tuition. In his Pocatello speech he
openly declared himself in favor of
tariff schedules that would make it i'm
possible for any foreign country TO
market it's goods here Mr.. Hepburn
evidently has no appreciation of the
wide demand in his own party for re-
vision of the tariff schedule. It is a
demand that is so strong, even in the
Republican party in Idaho, that if Sen
ator Hepburn clings to his present po-
sition he will die the death, politically,
and that within a very short time.
The day of the extreme high tariff
has begun to wane. the twilight shad-
ows are gathering. The "shock heads,
rs Henry Watterson calls the young
men of the political organizations, are
in the ascendant and they are going to
change the old order of things.

THE HARTJE CASE.

One of the flthiest scandals with
which the public has ever been RECALLED
is the Hartje divorce case. Hartje
filed an action against his wife for di-
vorce. basing his claim on allegations
of improper relations with the Hartje
coachman. The trial has been drag
cling along for weeks, with a new sem
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-08-03

sation every day. The upshot of 1t all
has been to convince impartial readers
that woman has been cruelty SIAN
dered and that Hartje is a scoundrel
too low for words.
Experts have testified that practical
ly ali OF the discriminating letters are
forgeries, prepared for the purpose Of
blackening Mrs Hartje's character and
influencing the judgment OF the court.
Wednesday detectives in the employ of
Hartje swore that they entered the
coachman's room, broke open his trunk
and distracted therefrom a number Of
love letters alleged to have been writ
ten by Mrs. Hartje to the coachman,
Nadine. Now If those detectives did
that they were certainly guilty of COM
hitting a felony, and they should be
sent to prison for a long term of years.
If they didn't break into Madness
trunk they are guilty of perjury, which
is also felony, and whoever paid them
TO commit perjury is equally guilty.
The testimony of men who admit steal
ing private papers is not worthy of
credence, anyway. If number of peo-
pie interested in the prosecution of
Mrs. HartJe are not sent to the peniten-
tiaTy it will be because there is no
such thing as justice in Pennsylvania.

CIR ROBERT HARRIS WORK.


The prospective retirement of Sir
Robert Hart from the Chinese customs
service is announced in a cable mes
sage from Picking. Sir Robert has writ
ten from the seaside, where he is
spending a few months, to a friend in
Picking that he has concluded his work
and that, after few months in set
ting up his private business, he will
return to England to spend the re-
mainder of his days. Comparatively
few people know who Sir Robert Hart
is, but his career has been most inter
esting.
He went to China and entered the
British consular service in 1854 at the
age of 10 years. Nine years later he
was appointed by the Chinese govern
ment to be inspector general of mari
time customs, a position he has held
ever since. That is, for fifty-two years
Sir Robert has been a resident of Chi
ma. During those years he has been a
close student of the country of his
adoption, and it is doubtful if any for
eigner has ever come as near as he to
getting a true insight into the Oriental
character. He says some very kind
things about the Chinese.
Among his statements are assertions
that the Chinese are easy TO govern
and that they obey their laws; that
they believe in education, and in edu-
cation that makes character; that ex-
cept for the lowest classes they are not
intolerant. Sir Robert admits many
defects among the Chinese, but he In
sists that their good qualities more
than outweigh their bad. And surely
the opinion of a man who has lived
among the Chinese for more than half
a century is worth something, even
though he has, during far the greater
part of that time, been drawing a sal
airy from the Chinese government.
1t is but fair TO say that no man
would work as long for a government
as Sir Robert has worked for China
unless he liked the government and the
people very well indeed. China has
shown her appreciation of Sir Roberts
services by comforting a number of
honors upon him. among them being
the Peacock's Feather, the Double
Dragon and the Red Button. Even
after a lapse of time that would make
a large majority of men forget that
they ever had a country of their own,
Sir Robert remembers his native land
and he wants to go back to 1t to die.
It will seem strange for him to live
away from the yellow faces, the shaver
pates with the coiled queues. but he
will doubtless find it good to end his
days among Christian white men and
women, surrounded by them, loved by
them.

THE POSITION is
VERY PECULIAR
More Work In Chicago PO>tofict
Than Force Can Do.
NINE HUNDRED KEPT
Busily Engaged and Having to Put
In Extra Time, Still the Nail
Matter Confines to Ac-
emulate Daily.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Chicago. with one
of the finest postoffice buildings in the
country, is utterly unable to handle
its mail business. For the first time
in four years the full force of 900 clerks
in the mailing division was required
TO work Sunday to relieve the conges-
ton that has clogged the machinery
since Feb l. Although the clerks have
been working from ten to twelve hours
day hundreds of bags of mail are left
undistributed each night Important
NAH for business houses is hours late
in being received and sent out and
complaints of the inadequate service
have been piling up in Postmaster
Buses room for several days.
Pneumatic tubes in the new postof-
flee, which cost $4,000 to install, are
useless because there are not enough
clerks to take the mail promptly to
them. and they are idle much OF the
time.
Machinery in the new building, which
costs 100000, is also proving more of
a hindrance than a benefit, because it
requires quite a number of clerks to
operate 1t, and that number has been
taken from the regular force, which
was inadequate before.
While the government officials at
Washington are aware of the, condi-
tons they have said that Chicago can
not expect relief before July 1, when
next years appropriation becomes
available.
Postmaster Busse goes to Washing
ton to make once more appeal for more
help. Several days ago he was told by
First Assistant Postmaster General
Hitchcock that Chicago would have TO
get along as best she could, because the
last congress had enacted a law making
the heads of departments criminally
liable II they exceed their appropria-
tons, and there was no money to give
to this city.

CAUSES SENSATION.
Resolution of Senator Patterson Gre
ated Considerable Interest.

ated Considerable Interest
Washington. Feb. 6.-Mr. Patterson
caused sensation in the senate Mon
day by introducing a resolution rela-
tive TO the rights Of senators in vot-
ing on treaties. Mr.. Patterson's reso-
luton recited that the action Of the
Democratic caucus indicating to sena-
tors how they should vote was a plain
violation OF the spirit and Intent of the
constitution of the United States; that
each senator was entitled o one vote.
and any attempt to coerce him was an
invasion of the rights OF state: that
any senator who permits himself to be-
so coerced weakens and degrades his
state; that for any senator TO vote
otherwise than as his sense OF duty
dictates degrades his high office and
assails the dignity and standing OF the
senate. The resolution was listened 10
with great interest by senators. Mr..
Lodge had prepared a resolution SINH
lar to that OF Senator Patterson. de-
elaring that treaty like the Santo
minican- treaty-s should not be made
the subject OF party election. but With
held 1t when he heard Mr.. Patterson
had proposed a resolution.
Mr.. Tillman objected 10 present con-
sideration unless II was a question OF
personal privilege Mr. Patterson said
IL was not and gave notice that he
would discuss the resolution Tuesday.
