New-York tribune., 1906-03-28
MR. JEROnE. AND OTHgRs.

1t is amusing or pitiful according to the point
/ Of view, to find how generally in these days
the District Attorney is the object of attack in
newspapers which only last fail were filled with
adoring panegyrics. These denunciatons are
by means confined to editorial pages and
/ therefore are not to be indiscriminately classed
as the natural fruit of yellow journalism
They are seen to proceed in large part from
distressed readers of all sorts and their charac-
ter varies widely. Some of them are violent
and contemptuOus, others solemn and mOurnful;
but all signify amaZement that Mr.. Jerome
should have fallen 50 far short of the reason
able expectations which he had aroused and to
which his triumphant campaign bore witness.
But if is all a deusion. Mr.. Jerome is just
what he has always been. For many years the
defects of his virtues have stared the COM
munity in the face. When The Tribune deter
mined to support him for reelection it did so
for various good reasons. The candidacy Of
Mr.. Flammer had ceased to be regarded seri-
Ousy even by the party organization which nOm-
mated him. Mr.. Jerome had come to represent
highly respectable, even though sporadic de-
sire to rebuke selfish bossism, and we much
preferred his election to that Of any other man
who might be supposed to have a chance We
knew that he had talents and long experience In
the administration of the criminal law, and
we did not doubt his personal integrity. But
we were under no illusion. We well remem-
bered what his passionate eulogsts had appar-
emily forgOtten-that his career on the bench
and his first term as public prosecutor had
shown him to be erratiC, infrm Of temper i'm
patient of counsel and criticism and capable Of
being misled by impulse and vanity. We had
not lost sight Of the fact that the files Of every
newspaper in the city testified to mistakes Of
Judgment yagaries of conduct and mprODrietieS
Of speech which his best friends had repeatedly
been compelled to rebuke. There was no war
rant or excuse for the presentation of Mr..
Jerome to the voters Of the county I'm the last
campaign as an ideal citizen and public servant
He deserved to be supported and elected be-
cause he was honest because he was likely to
do more valuable work than his occasional ex-
cursions into strange countries could offset and
because he happened to stand for a sound doc
trine Of political independence.
1t follows that those who were recently in
duging in Inscriptions OF superlative qualities to
the District Attorney and assigning him to
place by himself in the order of creation ex-
pose their own fooliShness when they proclaim
his degeneracy. And we consider it a grievOus
injustice to n man who always means TO do
