MYRON I. HERRICK WILL
NOT BE TREASURER

New York, Feb. 23.-Former Gov
ernor Myron T. Herrick Of Ohio will
not be secretary OF the treasury in the
Taft cabinet
A statement written by Mr.. Taft.
after comforting with Mr. Herrick to-
day. says:
AT the invitation of the president
elect Mr, HerTick called on Mr.. Taft
today. Mr.. Taft authorized the state
mont that the mention of Mr.. Herrick
for the portfolio of the treasury as If
he had been a candidate. did him great
injustice, because Mr. HerrlcS wrote
Mr.. Taft as early as December last.
to say that his business engagements
were such as to prevent his accept
ance OF a place in the cabinet"
Mr.. Herrick said he had nothing to
add
The elimination of Mr. HerrIck at
his own request would seem to put
Franklin McVeagh of Chicago in the
lead for the place, but Mr.. Taft said
1t would be several days before the
matter would be settled.
Mr.. Taft arrived here today and will
be the guest of his brother, Henry w.
Taft, until Saturday, when he will
leave for Washington.

UNEARTHlNG GRAFT.

Case and Comment, referring to the
duty of disclosing graft wherever it
exists, says:
Only an incorrigible pessimist would
deny that the probing of evils. the
exposures of graft. the conviction of
corruptionists, and the reforms thac
have been brought about in the last
decade, have put the business OF this
country ON a soldier basis, its politics
on higher level, and made the pub
lie service moro efficient. vigorous and
faithful to the public interests. Yet
it Will continue to be true that, In
every city or locality where an ulcer
of graft OF corruption Of any kind may
be discovered any attempt to probe
and punish it will be met by the CRY
that this will hurt business. Some
may honestly think the methods adopt
ed are wrong. or fancy that In some
way such crimes can be effectively
dealt with without Furnishing the Grim
inals. OF course, prosecutors will not
always be infallible in wisdom, or free
from just criticism, but the main ques-
tion is whether they are substantially
doing their duty and working for the
public welfare If they are, the COM
plant that they are hurting business
is likely to come in the main from
those who fear that the trail of In
yeStigation may lead to their own door
steps.

STORY OF A SCOOP.

The ineligibility of Senator Knox
to accept a cabinet portfolio after hav-
ing been appointed by President-elect
Taft has created considerable interest
The publicity given in the first place
was what is called in newspaper ver-
nacular a scoop"
William Wolff Smith. says the
Bee, better known as Poker Bill" a
Washington correspondent for the
Buffalo News and the Great Falls
Tribune, was searching the United
States constitution TO settle an argu-
ment in his mind that bill recently
passed the house was unconstitu-
tional. inasmuch as it prohibited the
carrying of firearms in the District OF
Columbia by the militia.
While searching for this he acct
dentally discovered that no member or
the house or the senate could accept
a position wherein he had been a party
to the emoluments thereof.
Recently the salaries of the cabinet
were Increased, and Senator Knox
having voted for the increase was in
eligible to accept.
Wolff was staggered when he made
the discovery.
He wrote the story. mailed one COPY
to the Buffalo News and the other to
the Great Falls newspaper. The Buf-
falo News flashed it back TO Washing
ton and it created a sensation. The
Associated Press nabbed the story
and beat the Wolff letter into Great
Falls.
Then Wolff saw what a lobster he
had been. He had discovered the
scoop of the season, and sold it LOT
about 81. when he could have sold It
to two hundred papers at space rates
OF about $40 each, He not only SCOOP.
ed every newspaper in the United
States. but he scooped President Taft.

1t is about time the majority OF the
American people, who are law abiding
and fair minded, asserted themselves
on the side of those strangers within
our gates who are being made the vic.
tins OF a base and senseless hatred.
The Greek home In this country
should be held a sanctuary as in.
Violably sacred as the home OF any
American. The mother and her chill
dren. though they be Greeks, should
be kept as free from the raucous roar
OF the maddened mob, as are the fam
lilies OF Americans. This mob spirit
should be blotted out OF our livos. for
1t is horrible thing to contemplate
from the side of innocent men, women
and children, who may be the objects
of attack.

NO LIQUOR DEAL.

The Republican quotes Utah's dele
cation In congress as making an indig-
nant and emphatic denial of the
charge that the Utah Republican Or
ganization made a deal to protect the
liquor interests Of the state from ad-
verse legislation. Each Of them de-
clared that neither they nor either Of
them, nor any person to their knowl-
edge had entered into any deal, COM
pact or understanding with the liquor
interests Of any kind or description
whatsoever.
When asked for an expression of his
views on the question OF state prohibit
tion, Senator Smoot said:

The provisions struck out OF the bill
were the clauses providing for S5.a-

one for salary of 500 yearly for SER
vices of the city attorney. These elm

Senator Sutherland made the fol
lowing statement:
1.-THE action OF the state senate in
rejecting the Cannon bill, in my Judg-
ment. was wise. Opinions differ very
materially as to the efficiency of a
prohibitory law In the states where it
has been adopted and the claim is
made with much apparent foundation
that the law proved a failure wherever
tried. | think the matter should be
submitted in some proper form to the
people of the state and all the facts.
including the experience of other
communities, should be carefully and
deliberately considered. Ii, after such
consideration, the judgment pf the
majority OF the people is In favor Of
statewide prohibition they ought to
have II in accordance with the prln-
ciple upon which our government was
founded, that tho will OF the majority
is supreme"
Representative Howell gave his
Views as follows:
Statewide prohibition Is q new
question In our state; 1t has never
been a prominent issue In our po-
litlcal affairs. The Cannon bill In
troduced in the present legislature
was an extreme and radical measure.
going beyond anything advocated by
the Anti-Saloon League In eastern
states. Further consideration Of the
question, in my opinion, will fully vim
dicate the wisdom of the Senate in
rejecting this bill.
"The policy of our state from the
beginning has been for local option.
/ am In favor of plenary power being
conferred upon cities and counties In
dealing with the saloon evil. These
local governments so intimately con-
nected with the people will respond
to the demands OF the constituents II
the prohibition sentiment Is strong
enough to be effective The enforce
ment Of the prevailing demand for
prohibition by these local authorities
would furnish an instructive expert
ence in determining whatever further
action would be necessary or eXpedI-
ent' in promoting the cause of tenn
