the State last fall and in Philadel-
phia in February, by the election
of the Republican candidate for
Treasurer, the prosecutions can be
dropped Immediately afterward, at
least so far as the important crimi-
nals are concerned. :,
The way to prevent this result is
to defeat the Republican candidate
for Treasurer and elect his capable
and determined antagonist, John
c. Harman. The scheme is a Grim
inal conspiracy and its success will
restore the iniquities of the past as
certain as day follows night. On
the other hand the election of Mr..
Harman will not only guarantee
the punishment of those who have
already offended but will put an
end to similar corruption for years
to come. Mr.. Harman is capable
and courageous lawyer. With him
in the Office no special counsel will
be needed by the State for he has
the ability to take care of the inter-
est of the people as well as the in
clination. c.. D. II.

the middle the investigation soon
assumed form which neither of
the Republican factions dreamed of
in the beginning. For awhile it
looked as if there would be COM
plete exposure of the infamies of
"The Hill until the shadow of that
result admonished the leaders of
both crowds Of grave danger. Ac-
cordingly they got together, agreed
on John o. Sheath as a candidate
for State Treasurer, and determin-
ed to let up insofar as that was pos
sible, on the investigation. Sheath
would help Penrose, it was under
stood, but Elkin's friends, with one
or two exceptions, would escape
punishment.
TRYING TO WORK ScARLRT.
In pursuance of this understand
ing the inquiry dragged slowly to
an uninteresting conclusion. Pen
nypacker was allowed to make his
argument Gin confession and avoid
ance," without the formality of
taking an oath and though he
"opened himself up wide" he was
hardly cross-examined at all. He
admitted that the iniquities had
been brought to his attention al
most Immediately after the election
of Mr.. Berry in 1905 and that he
had approved bills to an amount in
excess of $1,000, 900 between the
time the information was given him
and the date on which Mr.. Berry
was installed into the Office. He
didn't explain why in October,
1907, he had signed and issued a
statement declaring that there had
been no extravaganza in the con-
struction and furnishing of the cap
itol, however.
Coincident with this change in
the purposes Of the machine poll
ticians, it may be worth while to
take notice, rumors began eminat.
ing from the inner circles of the
Republican machine that the lead
ers were thinking seriously of
James Scarlet, the able and earnest
lawyer who was conducting the in

vestigation, as the most available
candidate of that party for Cover
nor, next time" OF course they
have no intention Of nominating
Scarlet, and equally of course the
gossip neither fooled him nor di-
verted him from his duty to the
State. But the most honest men
are susceptible to flattery aud even
if Scarlet didn't believe the gossip
which he must have heard, the fact
that it was current might influence
him to leniency.
In any event the character of the
inquiry changed perceptibly toward
the close of the public hearings and
great amount of time is being
consumed in digesting the evidence.
That doesn't necessarily imply tur-
pitude or even delinquency, but it
unquestionably promotes the chanc-
es of immunity for some of the
grafters. Taken in connection with
reports frequently heard, moreover,

tant of the looters are to be prose.
cuted and the others. far more cul-
pable, to escape absolutely, it bor-
rows sinister significance and de-
serves the most careful scrutiny.
The punishment of Huston who is
more fool than knave and of Shu-
maker who is more stupid than
criminal will not fulfill the require
ments of justice if such deliberate
offenders against official morals as
Pennypacker are allowed to go free.
REASONS FOR THE HARDNESS.
The advantage of delay to both
the political machine and the graft
ers is obvious. Time and tide wait
for no man and the statute of limi-
tations never stands still. Some of
the crimes are already perilously
close to the limit and few months
wasted in the preparation of indict-
ments will guarantee immunity
from prosecution. On the other
hand such delay as would put the
beginning of legal proceedings
within brief period of the election
would afford the machine opportu-
nifty to make a pyrotechnic pretense
of prosecuting the rascals before
the event and give them a lovely
"immun ty bath" afterward.
In fact this is believed to be the
influencing cause of the tardiness
on the part of the investigating
commission. Several weeks will be
consumed in the criminal trial of
the offenders and by arraigning
those who have been chosen for the
sacrifice a short time before the
election the party touters and stump
orators will be able to point with
pride" to the vigor and relentless
