Newspapers and Frauds and Fakers.

We agree with the Chicago Evening
Post that the greater part of the blame
for the success Of practically every one
Of the so-called get-rich-qulck schemes
is directly due TO the cooperation of
certain newspapers. Indeed, as far as
We are able to judge. the entire fault
lies just there.
Without a paper through which to
reach the masses of the people in any
locality, no matter how small, there is
not much Of prospect for success to the
swindler The gold-mine promoter, the
quack doctor, the patent-medicine faker.
all are dependent upon the press for re-
turns from the eredulOus. Without this
great medium. these gentry would be as
helpless as a newborn babe, and quite
as harmless.
The Philadelphia North American
claims to refuse not less than from S75.-
eco to 100000 worth of this undesirable
advertising every year. That which is
true of the North American is proper
tlonately true of quite a respectable num-
Der of other high-class newspapers with
elevated ideals and aspirations. 1t should
be true of all newspapers, no matter
where or by whom published. Every
newspaper of self-respecting ambition
must reject this matter" says the Phna-
delphia paper; and the sentiment will
be cordially commended by ali papers
that are entirely self-respectiug.
This splendid standard is not, we are
sorry TO say, the universal rule among
great and powerful papers. Many of the
larger papers carry great quantities OF
this illegitimate advertising, and swell
their bank accounts immensely by means
of it, To The Washington Herald's way OF
thinking. If ever such a thing as faint
ed money existed in this world. this
filthy iucre is to be so classed It is
revenue wrung from the ignorant the
lame, the halt, and the blind. Il is

WEDNESDAY, April q. 1901.
The Case of Mr.. Wadsworth.

Ex-Representative James ". Wads-
worth has at least indicated the posses
sion Of good sense by keeping out of the
newspapers since his regrettable outburst
against President Roosevelt last week.
His action in referring TO the President
as a "faker and a humbug" was mex
eusable iron every standpoint and we
think that Mr. Wadsworth himself must
have realized that such was the case when
normal calmness succeeded the attack of
choler brought on by the dismissal of
Collector Sanders and other Federal OFF,
cials for whose original appointments he
was responsible. His silence since then
would seem to indicate as much.
No matter how bitter may have been
the eX-Congressmans feelings against
Mr.. Roosevelt, he committed grievous
and objectionable error when he used
such language as that quoted in referring
10 the President OF the United States.
Personal considerations aside, Mr..
Wadsworth should have understood that
the very nature OF that high Office should
protect its occupant from aspeTsions of
the kind the nation read of so regretfully.
II Mr. Wadsworth is in touch with
public sentiment in the district he former
ly represented, he must know that Pres
ident Roosevelt is as popular there as in
other parts Of the country. which is say
ing much. His irritation because OF
the Presidents action in removing Mr..
Sanders may have been natural, under the
circumstances. but the fact remains that
he made a most serious mistake in man
ifesting that irritation as he did. The
only thing for which he can be COM
mended, apparently, is the circumstance
we have referred to-that lac has had
the good sense 10 MAINTAIN silence since.
Mr.. Hartman says he got into Republi-
can politics by accident. This confession
should at once suggest to the elephant
the propTiety Of securing an accident
policy.

ternlined hereafter, not by sentimental or
theoretical considerations, but by eonsid-
erations of paramount public advantage.
IF it should appear" he said in speech
at Boston on Lincolns Birthday, that
the powers of the States are inadequate
to deaf with a subject hitherto retained
in their keeping. and that the interests OF
the people as a whole imperatively de-
mand the assumption of power by the
Federal government. the people will pro-
vide for the assumption Of that power.
The Constitution. as Marshall said, is
not dead letter but a living instrument,
and 1t cannot be laid obstructively across
the path of a progressive people. It re-
spends to rev interpretations to meet
new needs. but no fear need be enter
tanned that the fundamental bases Of our
political fabric will be disturbed by what
ever Increase Of Federal power the people
may consider needful or the courts may
adjudge constitutional

NEED OF INTELLIGENT POLICE.
Harder Than Ever Now to 0utwit
Educated Criminals.

From the Brooklyn Standard I nlou.
That is a good point the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin makes on the statement
attributed 10 "a veteran police officer, q"
that lit is harder 20 outWit and capture
professional criminals now than it was
quarter Of a century ago, because these
offenders, as a rule, are smarter and bet
ter educated than their predecessors in
evil doing. when it says. in effect, that
this is a good argument for better edu-
Gated. shrewder policemen, who show an
equal advance in foresight, sagacity, and
an around resourcefulness."
The police Of Japan are said TO be
drawn from a superior class of men. As
"a rule. the police in this country, more
especially in the great cities. are, largely
at least. drawn from elements controlled
by ward politicians and. despite civil
service examinations. political pull is
still effective, to a damaging degree. How
many patrolmen. or even rOundsmen, or
sergeants, understand what the rights Of
citizens are, or the limitation of their own
powers? In q free country it is important
that "A police force should be intelligent
and law abiding.

Mr. Secretary Taft. always amiable and
engaging. had the forethought 10 inter-
view himself for publication while re-
turning from his latest proeonsular pere-
CARNATIONS, and he aeeommodatingly
handed out copies of his autolnterview
TO all eager and enterprising journalists
who did themselves the honor 10 call upon
him a few minutes after he had enscOnced
himself amidst his Lares and Penates in
Washington. Mr. Taft related to himself
for the public edihcation an amplitude of
detail touching on and appertaining TO
his observations while away, and added .
Il have only q very indefinite knowledge
of what has taken place in this country
since my departure, and, therefore, have
nothing to say on the subject Of politics"
If we were not aware that ere this news
paper is laid before the Secretary Of War
at breakfast this morning he lad learned
from the highest, most authoritative and
best informed source Of the various hap
penings in the country during his absence
we would recount for the secretary's en-
tertainment some of the most salient Of
these occurrences. We assure him. how
ever. that they have been a-plenty. But
as he is 10 leave us in a day or two for
Journey 20 Ohio where he is TO deliver
speech at Cincinnati before the West
ern Federation OF Yale Clubs. he Will
have an opportunity to view the land
scape DER en- route and compare his own
observations with the tales that have
been told him In Washington. At Dayton
he Is to attend the laying of the corner
stone OF the Y. NJ c. =. building, which
happily follows the Cincinnati event, and
there he will say something Of the good
which the association has done in the
Philippines and on the Isthmus Of Pan
anna. On Monday night next. he will be
at the meeting Of the Business Mems Club
OF Cincinnati. where he expects TO say
something about the Panama Canal"
Then he hopes 10 be back IN Washington

amount of work accumulated in his abb
sence."
May good cheer wait on appetite and
health on both AT the various functions

ticipate in within the current week. May
the flow Of his eloqueuce be not hampered

spiracies. We warn him. however, 10 keep
a sharp lookout for c0nspirators in Ohio
against the prosperity OF the nation and
the peace and happiness Of his country

these he has been at least partially in

A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY.
ChicRgO's Municipal Ownership Ex-
perience Teaches a Lesson.

perseuce Ieacheh AEAHSn.
From the Baltimore Sun.
A recent decision Of the Supreme Court
OF Illinois serves 10 illustrate one OF the
practical difficulties that beset the policy
Of municipal ownership on large scale.
Judge Dunno was elected mayor Of Chi
cago for a term which has just expired
upon a pledge that the city should acquire
and operate the street ears. A law was
enacted known as the Mueller law,
authorizing the issue OF certificates to
the amount OF S75.0JO.0O1 to pay for the
railways as they we're purchased by the
city. The State Supreme Court has de-
cided that these certificates cannot be
issued because their issue will swell the
public debt OF the city far beyond the
constitutional debt limit. Therefore, as
the law and the judicial decisions nov
stand, the city Of Chicago can own and
operate street car lines. but Il cannot
make a debt to pay for them.
This is like giving nuts to an old man
who has no teeth ID crack them. There
are other cities whose debt-making power
has no constitutional restrictions, but
only those business limitations which for
bid too great use Of the public credit
and that limitation applies to States and
the United States as well as 10 cities
What would become Of the credit Of the
United States for example, If the dreaif
of railroad ownership should be realized
Could the United States market FIVE or tea
thousand million dollars OF its bonds al
any reasonable rate? II Is, of course. con
tended that this debt would rest on the
property acquired and that the profit,
coming from the operation Of the roads
would be sufficient 10 pay the interest and
sinking fund on the debt created for theil
acquisition. Suppose that expectation
should fan. Suppose that il should turn
out that the United States government ii
not equipped with the proper agencies fol
the successful operation OF railroads, and
that the receipts are not sufficient to pay
operating expenses and interest on the
bonds would the people be willing 10 pay
taxes 20 the extent Of several hundred
million dollars a year TO make good the
deficiency?
There are many Of the railroads Of tbs
country which do not produce enough
surplus revenue to pay interest on the
entire cost or capitalization. II that cap
italization upon which no interest is paid
IS represented by the common stock. Their
the stockholders 90 unpaid. If it is rep
resented by bonds, then there is, perhaps
/ a receiver and readjustment. But the
! United States government cannot let the
interest on its obligations go unpaid anC
10 cannot go into the hands OF receivers.

OF blood money at that!
Happily a better day seems 10 be COM
ing. This Is day OF reform in many
directions 1t Is being demonstrated that
the newspapers scrupulously maintaining
lofty fixed, and iron-clad ideals are the
papers winning success upon merit.
The newspaper that keeps its advertising
columns clean is also the paper that
keeps its news columns and its editorial
columns clean. The reading public is
grasping the situation. Those papers that
hold aloft this banner Of cleanliness are
the papers that are to be entitled to the
credit for the final and complete triumph
Of decency that is near at hand
