VALUE OF TATTooiNG.

has never decayed. but of late rich
young men have taken TO it as much
as sailors ever did. One young man

BASELEss CHARGES.


Every honest man hopes that the
war on graft in all forms will con
tinue until al least some of 1t is elm
mated. II has, however, become the
fashion for some people, knowing the
sensitiveness of the public upon this
question, 10 endeavor to even person
al scores by accusing public men OF
grating without the support of q
scintilla of evidence. The hope seems
TO be that even If it is denied, more
people will see the charge than will
see or believe the denial and the de
sired injury will be inflicted. Two re
cent cases of sucn absurd charges
made solely for personal and dishon-
est reasons. are the charges OF graft
against Democratic District Attorney
Jerome of New York and against Re
publican Secretary Shaw of Washing
ton. Both charges were wholly
groundless but were given the widest
circulation. This Is often the pen
atty of holding public Office. Those
who are afraid TO face the possibility
of such false charges had better stick
to private life. A public office is Il
poor place for thin skin.
