one at that :. a Republican after our

and dares to do it; man who in
unfolding Republican principles
and laws has made this country
prosperous as it never was before

NATURALLY the President meab

NAlOkALLf tne resident meant
just what he said when he pitched
into the Man with the Muck Rake
But few of his public utterances

was inveigbing against was sen.
sationalism, the baseless sensation
alism that has happily almost run
it's course in the yellow and would
be-yellow journals of the country =.
This country has been undergoing
great wave of moral awakening and
reform. In some quarters, and
from purely sordid motives, the re-
form has verged on moral hysteria
1t was this that the President was
striking at. He did not mean that
the exposure of corruption where
yer it exists was MuckraKing. lie
knows, few know better, that there
are more plague spots all over this
country and that they have TO be
Iaked. He knows, too, that they
are as offensive TO men who 10 the

them uncovered. But work of tins
sort is clean in the dong though ii
may be forl In the corruption it eX
poses. However, corruption that IL
not exposed is never eradicated and
the more honor is due 10 the sane
and sober writers, prosecuting attor-
neys and other Investigators who
have taken a hand in the cleaning
up of the political moral nastiness
The very agents of the President
have had hand in what has re
Gently come to be called "Muck
raking." The report of Commission
er Garfield on the corruption of the
Standard Oil Company was Muck
raking Of sort. But it was a sort
for which the President highly
commended him. The Interstate
Commerce Commission is inst now
engaged on a job of the same sort
1t Is uncovering all sorts of corrup
tions, collisions and law breaking
in the coal carrying business. 1t
has only just touched on the soft
coal carrying roads and probably
will find things equally bad when
ii comes to the hard coal and the
oil roads. But nobody is going to
accuse Chairman Knapp of being a
Muckraker for all he may discover.
The same is true of Governor Folk
and District Attorney Jerome and a
lot of other good solid men of both
parties all over the country who are
making a business of digging up
corruption and seeing that it is dis.
posed of In an effective and sanl-
tary way.
No one need run away with the
idea that the President was hitting
at such men as these when he talked
of Undertaking. They are men Of
bis own sort and he is the sort to
uphold them in their work. Sooner
or later, 1t is to be hoped, the need
for such exposures will have ceased
But in the meantime there is still
need for the Muckrake sanely and
judiciously applied and it Is only
to be hoped that so long az the need
exists there will be men found to
