POLITICAL BRIBERY

,It is now being made very plain
why 1t was that Judge Taft offered
that cabinet position to Theodore
Burton. 1t was not for services
which he has rendered the party, il
was not in recognition Of services
which he has rendered to the whole
people since he entered the halls Of
congress; it was not in rec
ognition OF his real worth as a man
in national affairs. 1t was none OF
these, but it was in the nature of
brlbe to induce him to take that job
and get out of the way OF Taft's
brother, who is packing his trunk in
the; hope and belief that he will be
sent to the senate. Every man who
has a speck of manhood about him
scorns alike the bribe giver and the
bffbe taker, when the bribe offered
IS money. Grating so called has
come to be looked upon as one OF the
rial mean, low down businesses Of
ths country and the bribe giver and
the bribe taker have been compelled
70 cover up their tracks pretty COM
pietely in order to prevent discov-
ely and to hold the good place in the
estimation of the people which nearly
an men desire.
In the face of all OF this public and
private disapproval of the system OF
grating which had been all Dut per-,
fected before the people were aware
of IL, we now have the spectacle OF
the man who has just been elected to
the presidency, Offering TO barter
away the secretrayship OF one OF the
most important departments of the
national government ror the United
States senatorship from Ohio for
his brother. In the case OF a street
paving graft the interests OF only a
few people may be at stake, tile
whole object OF the bribe taker ard
the bribe giver, is money. This in
itself is despisable, but how vastly
more despicable is this last piece Of
attempted bribery. The interests of
the people and possibly the welfare OF
the whole masses are to be bartered
AWAY by the man who was deemed Of
sufficient mental calibre to be placed
In the high office of president of the
United States for a mere mess of
pottage for his brother.
sAt the time that the offer OF the
secretaryshlp of the treasury was Of
fered to Theodore Burton, it was
thought that Taft had selected Inn
because of his qualification for the
place and was taking this, the ini-
tial step toward picking out a cab
met 10 the end that the people might
be served capably during his admin
iStration There Is no questioning
hut that Burton would make a good
man in the place, but that does not
enter into the consideration Of the
motive of Judge Taft in Offering the
Taace. Although u was commonly

President Roosevelt has reserved to
himself and his son the right to d.
all of the shooting on that African
trip. He was glad enough to sc,
someone to help him after he had
been cunning for trusts for 4 few
