HOCH IS HEARD FROM.
He Said Nothing About the Dalton
Pardon.

A letter has been received from the
lost governor of Kansas. one E. w.
Hoch. Governor Hoch is at Council
Bluffs. Iowa. That is no joke. though
it sounds like a bluff. The governor is
to make a speech a Council Bluffs this
evening before a meeting of teachers.
He will be back in Topeka Saturday.
In his letter Governor Hoch does not
say anything about the pardon for En-
NETT Dalton. though he doubtless knows
that Dalton has gone back to prison to
finish serving his term.

Burton and His Future.

Ex-senator Burton will discover-prob-
ably very promptly-that the world is little
interested in a discredited man. The ap-
peal he will make to the public through his
newspaper, or from the rostrum. will fall
upon dull ears. And for the reason that
the facts in his case are we'll understood
He was not raflroaded to jail He was not
a victim of a spasm of the people, but had
his day in court, including the highest
court, and was represented by able coun-
sci. And when sentence was passed upon
him the action was approved by press, pull
pit, and the world of politics.
Mr.. Burton has prepared. and will pub
lisE in his newspaper. what he calls his
tory of his case. If he or his lawyers
withheld anything of value at the time he
was on trial a serious mistake was made
II all the essential facts were then dis
closed and Mr.. Burton has since simply
put them into new form. he can hope for
no audience of value. AS he is not a writer
of power, the public is guaranteed moth
ing from his output.
The country today is better persuaded
than at the time of Mr.. Burton's convic-
ton of the wisdom of the statute which
he was punished for violating. 1t is moth
ing to the point that the law, as has been
forced; that some fish have slipped through
the net. The point in his case is that Mr..
Burton did not slip through. but was fairly
taken and fairly dealt with. He was an
offender. and as such was punished. May
be too his fate has had an excellent effect
as a warning to others. Neither ne nor the
public can ever know how valuable his
conviction has been in that way.
This mans fall provoked a sort of sym
pathy. and some of that feeling may re-
main. He had risen from the ranks in a
state where only strong men rule had
won. lie tried for the Senate more than
once before he successful. and his
friends believed that he would distinguish
himself in an arena where the gifts of an
orator, which he possessed count for so
much. But he had hardly shaken down in
his place when he was accused of violating
the law: and from that day he was doomed
Mr. Burton, who is comparatively
young man, should find field for useful
ness. and in 1t earn a comfortable living,
but as a self-appointed leader and moral
teacher he can only incite criticism and
regret,

Genuine Spring,

Spring has come with such a rush that
1t finds us unprepared. Yesterdays heat
caught many a man with his overcoat on
and some women with furs. Herein lies
the danger of the spring. After one such
experience overcoats and furs are laid
aside, and in some cases, lighter clothes
are sdonned, to prevent other days of dis
comfort Then comes a sudden relapse of
the temperature, and the doctors get busy.
1t must be kept firmly in mind that these
early uprisings of the mercury are merely
spasmodic, and are to be viewed with sus-
picion. There is, however, one line of en-
tei prise that can be safely undertaken
when the spring note is thus sounded.
There is no danger in beginning the garden
work that, if diligently carried on through
the season, makes the city beautiful.
Much can be done in these early days of
warmth that will not be undone later by a
belated touch of winter. The ground can
be prepared for the seed, and the seed it
self may be planted If there is a posi-
bility of frost affecting the germ of the
new plant, down in the ground it can be
averted by spreading papers over the sur
face when the indications point to a sharp
drop of temperature.
In any case, the lawn can be raked and
the turf encouraged The vines can be
trimmed and trained and the rubbish can
be cleai C away and everything made
ready for the real opening of the campaign
to advance the cause of civic attractive
ness. The early workers get the best
start and make the finest showing when
the season is fully developed.

to take sides. The honeymoon was soon
over. and practical affairs presented them
selves. His policies demanded support In
congress and that led to sharp party divi-
sions. The president must ally himself with
one party or the other. As we say In
America In the ofr-hand style of the curb
stone, he needed party in his business.
Well. he made choice, and whether
he chose wisely Is not much to the
point now as the fact that he was soon
overwhelmed He might have met the
same fate If he had chosen the other
party. Feeling ran all the higher by rea-
son of the millennialistic beginning. Fail
ure had to be confessed and Uncle Sam
called in.
We are pretty firmly on our pins. We
have stood the shock of foreign wars and
of civil war, and often passed the con-
troll from one party to another. But we
could no more run our government on a
millennalistic basis than the Cubans.
Ours is most distinctly and emphatically a
government of parties, by parties, and at
times too much for parties Mr.. Roose-
welt In the White House would be unable
to turn a wheel without party support.
He has realized this In all the siren
uousness of his life there. and been at
pains to work with the organization which
gave him his commission. Their relations
have at times been strained, but never
broken Negotiations always save the day.
So that if Mr.. Roosevelt is to remain in
the White House for another four years
it must be either as republican or as a
democrat. A no-party arrangement would
inevitably break down.

Taft.

The beauty, so to say, of Secretary
Taft's trips. is that they produce results
He is no junketer. but a man of affairs
with business in hand and a knowledge of
how to transact it. His visit to the Phil
ippines several years ago JUSTIFIED itself.
Later, his presence in Panama was help
to the governments interests there, and
his work in Cuba in taking over control at
the time of President Palma's resignation
was admirably executed. On the journey
he begins today he will visit Panama, Cuba
and Porto Rico, and at every point look
into matters of government regula ton. The
President is not more fortunate in any
other member of a competent cabinet than
in this administrator. who, though taken
from the bench has shown a practical
grasp of business and politics such as is
seldom exhibited.

The American Soldier.

Uncle Sans boys in uniform are being
highly complimented these days. and by
those with knowledge of their deserts. 1t
was not so long ago that they were the tar

scribed playing the part of rowdies and
butchers in the Philippines. All the small
wits exercised themselves on Hell Roarin'

PRODUCED into the Congressional Record at
the expense of the rank and file. The con-
duct of our soldiers alone was enough. it
was contended. to discredit what was called
our colonial policy, and should induce us to
abandon it.
We are now getting a different tale. Arch
bishop Harry of Manila tells The Star in an
interview that the soldiers in the Philippines
conduct themselves well, and are a credit to
the country. His opportunities for observa-
ton and his means of gathering information
from others are excellent. Although a
churchman and man of peace, he knows
the value of a soldier and his difficulties and
temptations. and he gives him the praise he
earns. And this word spoken at home and
widely distributed will, we may all be sure,
be greatly appreciated in the camps in
the archipelago as here in the United States.
From Cuba we have a like story. In one
of Mr.. William E. Curtis recent letters to
The Star he compliments soldiers in
Cuba. and testifies to their popularity with
the people of the island. They are there
as We all know. a delicate mission, and
popularity under the circumstances Is a
considerable achievement. Polite toera-
ton might have been the note The men
are we'll Differed, the camps are clean and
orderly. and the work in hand is conducted
without offense to anybody. Mr.. Curtis is
widely travelled man and a trained OBJ

that of others.

rarily the American soldier is bearing him
self creditably and efficiently. He respects
his uniform and makes 1t respected. His
life Is not picnic, and he is not an angel.
Like his brother in civil life he responds
kindly to good treatment and resents bad
treatment. He would be very poor fight
Ing man if he were organized on any other
basis. Why pot give him, then. a square
deal. particularly while he is at home and
walking the dull beats of an uninspiring
peace routine? Our soldiers are citizens as
well. and when we do them hurt We hurt
ourselves.

Still Harping on Swettenham.

Some Englishmen are still sore over the
Swettenham incident, refusing to recognize
the long ears that have protruded SO per-
sistently from the Uranium of the former
governor of Jamaica since the earth
quaked in that part of the world. The
London Saturday Review recently printed
the following:
Liberal MP.'s are as outspoken as
other competent witnesses in Indignation
at Sir Alexander's treatment by the gov
eminent. We have heard even an Ameri-
can protest. The whole thing wants clear
ing up in parliament We are told that the
secretary of state will determine what
papers on this subject it is in the public
interest to publish. This does not tend
to allay suspicion"
If there is such feeling in England
about Swettenham, by all means let it be
ventilated in parliament. The govern
ment would be doing itself service by
opening the way to full. free review of
all the facts In the case. The United
States has thus far acted in the premises
with what it believed to be a considerable
restraint. This government behaved in a
most generous manner when it accepted
the disclaimers of the London ministry
and allowed the matter drop without even a
protest 1t permitted the English adj
ministration to adopt its own course and
take it's own time to rid itself of an official
so obviously unfit for colonial or other
responsibility
However, 1t appears that there remains
a distinct tinge of resentment against the
United States on the other side in certain
quarters. For precisely what reason, as
affects the United States it is rather diff
cult to understand without accusing those
who cherish this sentiment of clinging fast
to the Anticipated spirit of hatred for Amer
lea and all Americans. This is distinctly
a tory sentiment. and yet even so pro-
nounced a tory as the late Lord Salisbury
learned in his latter years the folly of
such a course and attitude.
If the government at London should pro-
coed to print the documents in the case
it is to be hoped that 1t will print all of
them. There should be no mysteries about
case which is so obviously merely an in
stance of exaggerated ego on the part
of a bumptous official who took himself
too seriously and ignored the higher re-
quirements of his duty in time of stress.

Superhuous Realism,

From the New York World.
Realism has its uses, but Is it so essential
to sermons on slum life to warrant cleri-
cal Investigations in studying conditions of
vice at first hand, as Rachel studied dis
ease in the hospital wards? The functions
of the pulpit are not those of the stage.
Longfellow did not find 1t necessary to go
to Nova Scotia for "Evangeline." nor did
Tom Moore visit Persia for "Lalla Rookh -
Certainly as between any lack of detailed
description of vice and the risk Of compro-
missing exposure it is wiser to leave some
thing to the imagination: Whatever excuse
there may have been for the ministerial
journey through the Tenderloin that be-
came the precedent for Summing tours with
a moral purpose, no such excuse now exists.
The disclosures of the days news sufi-
GENTLY famliarize the public with condi-
