CRIME AND CUSTOM.

II has been customary to regard the
attitude of eastern legislators on pub
lie issues with suspicion on account
of their suspected subsection to bad
influences, and TO regard the honesty
Of the great west as automatic. Yet,
We find that the big timber
thieves of the great west have their
defenders in the senate as well as the
eastern high financiers;" and the
speeches made against the forestry
bill indicate that even western poll
ticians are imbued with the idea that
crooks and gamblers are inguential
citizens. 1t is somebody's fault that
politicians look on the friendship of
this class as powerful support
The truth Is, perhaps, that crime in
the abstract is more reprehensible
than crime considered as the actual
deed of some individual or group,
personally known to us. Merely cut
ting down trees is not such hideon
offeDse in the eyes of people accus-
toned to riding through miles and
miles OF forests on the Pacific slope.
We view the forest situation as one
little row OF figures compared with
another, representing the number OF
feet of standing timber and the an
nual consumption, and 1t causes US
dismay. To the man. whose eyes can
not pierce through the forest standing
before him, 1t looks as though the
timber supply is inexhaustible. Then,
too, he knows the men who steal il,
and he does business with them, and
he and his town are enriched indi-
rectly by the proceeds of the unlawful,
though simple, operation of helping
themselves to all the timber they can
find. II Is beyond the ken OF those
men TO understand how procedure
that was perfectly lawful and proper
a few years ago, should suddenly take
on such a heinous aspect. Men dc
not care much for the statutory char.

consider themselves morally justified
and don't get caught. They actually

appearance Of the second article from

controversy with o. j Jennings. edi-
tor of the Murray Ledger. in regard
to the means used by Judge Wells in
suppressng night riding In this coun-
~. In the second article Judge
Wells commends the change OF atti-
tude OF MIR. jennings and expresses
the hope that he is genuinely convert
ed from his former position. The
judge denies being derelict In duty
as Mr.. Jennings has charged While
the night rider bands were being
formed: presents no objection to Mr..
Jennings statement that to Deputy
Sheriff John Holland is due much
credit for the work against night rid
ing in this county: denies that he is
being paid a handsome fee for help
ing to prosecute the night riders, or
that the fee is to be paid by any trust,
but says that the meager fee will BE-
paid by the good citizens OF Galloway
and of other parts of the state.

Bryan has not exhibited the courte-
business that has marked the conduct
of Secretary Taft in the contest for
delegates, and he has not held aloof
fIomthe home states of favorite sons,
with the result that in Minnesota he
received a sad rebuke at the hands OF
JOhnson's friends. Perhaps. Mr..
Bryan has been in the game so long
that he is. getting callous; but Taft's
conduct should bear fruit in the fight
for the Office after the nomination.
He has restrained his friends from in
terfering in Indiana. Illinois and
Pennsylvania, and, even though the
candidates of those states do not
warm up in the impending struggle,
their friends must entertain the most
kindly feeling for Mr.. Taft. There
has been no bitterness engendered In
those states by an ante-conyention
fight.

KENTUCKY FOR TAFT.

There was heap of harmony, but
mighty little compromise in the state
Republican convention. 1t may be Il
mooted question. as to whether the
people or the federal employees won;
but there is no doubt as to who lost.
The Sun, speaking for the west end
of the state has always maintained
that the sentiment for Taft was over
whelming. and apparently this observ-
alton has held good for the entire
state. Kentucky may be accepted as
criterion of the situation over the
country. Kentucky, by reason of her
location and the sentimental attach
ment between the commonwealth and
Indiana, was. counted in the Fair
banks column early in the estimates
of the political situation. Undoubted-
ly federal employees to a great extent
did favor Secretary Taft He repre-
scnts most nearly and completely the
peculiar politics of this administra-
ton of which he is a part, and which
he openly Endorses. Loyalty to the
administration would dictate such
all other things being equal.
Had Kentucky gone Democratic
,ast fall, the support of the federal
might have been consid-,
cred the sum and substance of the
Taft victory; but Kentucky elected a
full Republican ticket last fall and a
United States senator, and the latter
became the leader of the Fairbanks
forces. giving the vice-president the
advantage of having a general in the
field. fully equipped with the creden-
tials as party leader and endowed
with remarkable natural gifts for or
and a politician of long
experience.
Ii would have been but natural for
the state oiticeholders to have at
tached themselves to the triumphant
for United States senator.
and to array themselves against the
federal officeholders. had the latter
attempted to override the sentiment
Of the state with anything like fed
pral machine No other considera-
tons intervening, state officeholders
elected by popular vote usually may
be found floating in the current of
popular opinion on matters that do
not affect their own interests.
The attitude of the state officials1
IS significant. Aside from Secretary
Of state Ben Bruner, who with In
ternal Revenue Collector Ed Franks
swung to the Fairbanks side so early
hat they couldn't get back every
;sate official. excepting the governor,
v as for Taft, and the governor has
been a constant admirer of Hughes,
but refrained from interfering in the
contest. The state officials found the
Taft sentiment was dominant in Ken
lucky We believe it is dominant all
over the country. and We predict that
Taft will be nominated on the first
ballot at the Chicago convention. In
TACT, Kentucky's "a. Utah's and
-onnecticut's - this week bring his
strength very near majority ana
give him additional prestige with
which to swing doubtful states into
inc for the apparent winner.

A MUSICAL RECITAL.

Harry T. Burleigh of St Georges
 church, New York, who is to give a
 recital in St Jonh's church on the 28th,
 is unqualiiedly an artist and in the
 very front rank of American baritones.
 His fine musical sense, his broad musi-
 cal culture, his indefatigable applica-
 tions together with his rare opportun-
 ity not only of hearing but of partici-
 pating in the finest musicales in New
 York City make the announcement of his appearance here in New Milford
 the signal for the most enthusiastic expectancy. Probably the most marked tribute to MT Burleigh as an artist was his presence at private musical on the same program with Paderewski. Ear nest de F. Miel. the critic, speaking of Mir Burleigh's place in the musical life in New York writes: "He has gained an altogether enviable reputation not alone for the exceptional quality of his voice but also for the true merit and charm of his method. As soloist in oratorio and concert he has won name in the musical world as baritone of rare dramatic power." The Hartford Post says: "Mr Burleigh is more than an artist. He is an artist with spec l ial personality which makes his sing ing double enjoyabe." Melville Char to, the organist, who will assist, is one of the best representatives of the Ma tional Conservatory of Music in New York City. To splendid natural ability he has added thorough and systematic, training. Edward Horsman, Jr., mu. sical critic of the New York Herald says: His aims are serious, his tech nical equipment admirable and his man. ner in interpretation judicious. The concert organist, Charles Heinroth, pu- pil of Rhelnberger, declares: "He is a fully equipped musician in every way, possessing clear, steady, as we'll as a brilliant technique, which enables him to render the most difficult compost. tionsin an authoritative manner" A cordial invitation is extended to all. An offering will be taken for the Choir Fund.
