cHouLD KICK HIM OUT.

True TO the public conception Of his
character. Senator J. Ralph Burton Of
Kansas. convicted felon, refuses to re
sign. Some people, perhaps. thought
that there still remained in the breast
Of Burton some spark Of deCency- It
appears that be has not even a saw
ing remnant Of any fine sense of the
Droprieties. Very well: then it is the
business of the senate to kick Burton
out. He should no longer be permitted
to occupy the high place he has SO
everlastingly disgraced.
As justification for his determination
not to resign Burton says he has
sixty days In which to perfect an ap-
plication for a rehearing by the SUI
preme court. and that therefore he Is
in exactly the same position that he
occupied prior 10 the recent adverse
supreme court {. cision. This is a quib-
BILE Of the baldest sort. Burton does
not occupy the same position ne occu-
pied few weeks ago. The supreme
court has definitely declared that he is
guilty. and the senate can only be in
teTestCd i'm that point.
The supreme court does nos often
grant a petition for a 1ehearing, es-
peciaHy when the defendant has had
every opportunity. as Burton had. to
present his case i'm the most favor

lie likelihood that the court will con-
sent to hear this case again. And the

intends to resign, or that he has al
ready resigned. We don't blame him.
Yet he cannot escape condemnation.
It is possible, of course, that he knew
nothing Of the grating, but he should
have known. 1t was his business to
keep in touch with shippers and with
employees. He must have heard, again
and again, complaints from shippers
who were being grossly Disseminated
against. If he had taken the trouble
to investigate these complaints he
would not be in his present mortify-
ing position. Somebody ought to be
punished as a result of the disclosures.

LAD IT COMING.

A dispatch from Trenton. y. J.. tells
the prize fool story of the year. Some
Italians there wanted to play cards but
the table wasn't level. One Of it's legs
was too short. To remedy the defect
one Of the Italians placed stick Of
dynamite under the leg. The card
game progressed merrily for a half
hour. Then the players became en-
gagged in a violent conversation and.
to emphasize a point. one Of them
struck the table a violent blow. The
result, gentle reader, was that the dy-
Mantle exploded. All Of the card play
ers we're more CT less seriously injured
and by a curious prank Of fate. the
man who struck the table viii never
be able to strike another. His arms
were blown off
It is not too much to say that the
Italians had the shock coming. How
any human being could be 50 lacking
in common, ordinary intelligence as to
use a stick of dynamite as a prop for

TAFT AND WALLACE.

The calling in question by one prom
lnent citizen Of The veracity of another
prominent citizen is almost developing
into mere routine proceedings I'm Wash
ington- The latest outbreak is between
John z. Wallace, former chief engineer
of the Panama canal. and Secretary of
War Taft. Ever since Mr.. Wallace
resigned his position the administra-
ton has been trying to discredit him.
The testimony of Secretary Taft be-
fore the senate committee on inter
oceanic canals. in which he sought TO
impUgu Mr.. WallaCe's motives I'm re-
signing. causes Nj Wallace to come
out fatty and say the secretary did
not tell the truth.
He submits documentary evidence
that seems 10 bear out his assertion.
For example. Mr.. Taft said once that
William Cromwell, the lawyer who ell
gincered the whole canal deal. had no
influence whatever upon canal policies.
Yet later Mr.. Taft said. Mr.. Crom-
we'll has for some time been charged
by the president and myself with gen
eraI advisory duties I'm all Panama
canal matters" These statements are
widely at variance. Tt was shown, too,
that Nr. Taft suppressed parts Of let
ters written by Mr. Wallace and mace
the extracts ne quoted have an entire
Iy different meaning from that in
tended by the writer
If this is good ethics. if this is square
dealing, then most Americans have
been trained in the wrong school The
secretary characterized as untrue Mr.
WaHace's statement that nothing
could he done until ccngT ess had taken
some decided action. except to gradu-
ally increase the organization and add
units To the machinery. Yet a little
later on ne find Mr.. Taft saying. Il
am advised from the isthmus that Nj
Stevens work has so far progressed
that he must delay all work. or sub
stantially ali, until the decision IS
reached as TO the type of canal" Here
Taft again coutradicts Taft.
II is not at all pleasant 10 see charg-
Is and counter charges made BY men
Of high official position. Before Ions
the public viii begin believing that
there are no truthful men I'm any par;
Of the country or in any sort OF serv-
ice, However, it is a good thing to
