tees are animated by hate, Sre dis
loyal to the democratic party and
political and personal renegades-
generally.
While Senator Bailey has repeat
eddy affirmed that he never practiced
influence who knows what the mem
who employed him thought about ~
1t is entirely too great a tax. upon
ones credulity to believe that Pierce
would have loaned Bailey the flarge
sumo he did, and would have secured
his services in behalf of his outlaw
ed corporation, had Bailey been a
plain, though able lawyer, and not
powerful politician with pull as
well as a representative Of the peo-
pie. Would Bailey as a plain citizen
and lawyer, with his limited ability
and experience in such matters,
have been selected and paid enor-
nous fees to carry out the large fin
ancial transactions with which he
has been intrusted, had he not been
United States senator, and could
he as such citizen and lawyer have
carried them to a successful termin-
alton without the power and prestige
that his official position gave him?
Possibly but not probably.
But if Senator Bailey has never
practiced influence if he has only
sought to turn an honest million as
private lawyer and Spectator, is
his contention sound that he has a
right to do these things while serv-
question that does not involve Sen
ator Bailey's personal integrity, and
accepts all his explanations and evas-
ions. Do the people want their SEN
ator to practice law for these inter-
ests and borrow money from such
men as H. c. Pierce? If they do
they should set the seal of their ap-
proval upon him by voting to send
him and his ticket to Denver as a
complete acceptance of this new the
DRY of the duties and privileges of a
United States senator. Then hereaf-
ter they should instruct their con-
gressmen and members of the legis-
lature to make haste to feather their
nests with profitable connections
with all kinds of predatory wealth
and legitimate corporations while in
office. Such conduct they will have
approved In effect by such action
they will have served notice that
their public officials should hasten to
make hay while the sun of official
| prosperity was shining upon them
VIII they do it? They may Strong
men entrenched with official power
| and with great wealth are by their
conduct, virtually defending such
strange ethics. 'Baileyism, as under
stood by this writer. may temporari-
| lily triumph in May, confused with
| eXtraneous issues and illuminated by
/ the halo of powerful and brilliant
! personality, but such victory cannot
! be final. The principle is fundamen-
| tally unsound and exceedingly dan
| gerous. Men who stand out for an
! ethical ideal or an abstract princi-
| pie usually have tedious and
thankless task, but while error may
succeed for a day right will ulti-
| mately triumph. 1t must be so.

No man has sacrificed his rights
to our friendship because he has es-
poused the cause of Senator Bailey,
but that man who resorts to yillifi-
cation, vituperation and abuse,
whether he is for or against Bailey
ism, is unworthy of the friendship
of any honest man. We may be
right. and in that event you are
honestly wrong; you may be right,
and in that event we are honestly
wrong. Let's play the game fair and
as becomes gentlemen.
