THAI the members of the House
have not elevated themselves in
the estimation Of the people by
tableing that portion of the Pres
ident's message which deals with
the present law relating to the
secret service.
The President is an impulsive
man, but at the same time he
keeps thoroughly posted on what
is going on in this government:
when he finds a wrong he expos,
es it, regardless of what party 1t
might affect. There is no doubt
that the secret service has render
ed valuable aid to the government
in ferretting out frauds, the court
records show a number of convic-
tions of men in high places
United States senators, congress-
men and men in the departments,
and when congress attempts to
cripple this service by withhold
ing the funds necessary to main
tain it, or limit it's operations. in
our Judgment the President will
have the people at his back in the
present controversy.
Congress regards the Presi-
dents intimation that the mem
bers of Congress feared investi-
cation by the secret service, dis
respectful, but when that body
asked for an explanation, and re-
ceived from him a reply which
quoted largely from the records,
they continue to regard his attl-
tude disrespectful, and table both
messages.
Congress may violate the law,
rob the government, or be PAL
ties to deals in which the govern
ment is interested. but according
to their recent action. any lntl-
nation of misconduct will be re-
sented, and tabled as disrespec5-
full. This may work for a time,
but a day of reckoning will come,
and these same men will have to
account for not being willing to
have light turned on to their own
conduct as we'll as the conduct OF
some Individual not honored with
exalted position.
While they are at it, they
should enact a law making con-
gressmen immune from espion-
age, then each and every one of
them could go into copartnership
with "land thieves or other
swindlers of the government,
without fear Of following in the
foot steps of those United States
senators and congressman con-
victed in the courts. Make it a
misdemeanor to obtain proof
which will reflect upon the hon
esty Of a congressman.

Electricity and Magnetism.

AS to what electricity and magnetism
are "in themselves"-that is to say, as
to their real nature-nothing is known.
They are absolute mysteries, battling
the acutest research into their inner
most secrets. But about their modes
Of action it is possible to say some
thing definite. For example, electricity
appears to depend for its action upon
q medium, while magnetism, like gray
ity, acts ct distance and by means OF
10 visible go-between. Place two mag
nets In vacuo or even place solid
plate Of glass or metal or wood be-
tween the magnets and we still find
that their mutual action depends sole
IL on their relative position and is not
perceptibly modified by placing any
substance between them unless that
substance happens to be one Of the
magnetic metals.-New York American

NOT CONSCIOUS OF UNFA!RNEsS.

We overheard a gentleman re-
mark to another that THE TIMES
editor was unfair" referring to
his attitude on the prohibition
question. We disclaim an inten,
tional unfairness, but on the 9th
er hand publish any and every
thing emanating from the prohl-
bition side when furnished US.
No, the majority of the Prohibi-
tionists do not give others credit
for honesty of purpose they alone
monopolize that virtue.
The more we think of this pes
ky liquor question, the more are
we convinced of it's lack Of wis,
dom in forcing prohibition into
communities which have no pro
hibition sentiment to sustain it,
and one of the very reasons why
little attention is given to the en-
forcement of a prohibition law,
is that the people realize the by.
pocrisy of many OF its active sup
porters.
Yet, with this condition appar-
ent to those not blinded with
prejudice: they are regarded as
F'bad men" who will not accept
the ideas promulgated by fanati.
cal theorists. There are some
men not a hundred miles iron
Manning, who have more regard
for a liquor lusher that will say
they agree with the prohibition
propaganda, than for those
whose whole life has been a liv,
ing example for temperance who
see the impracticaoility of fore
ing by statute. morals into the
people.
We say without fear of success
ful contradiction that the con
sumption Of liquor in dry coun
ties" has been decreased very lit
tie, if any, and that more mur
ders have been committed in dry
counties within the past twelve
months than in the counties
where liquor is lawfully sold
Yet, Prohibitionists insist the
law is successfully operated.
Pshaw. We may be a ''bad man
in the estimation of one ldeaed
men, but like themselves we have
a conscience and a little brain.
Our conscience makes US respon'
sible for our acts not to self ap.

HONOR OF CoGGRESsMEN.

While things are hot in Wash
lngton, congress should convert
itself into a mutual protection as
sociation. It is a fine opportuni-
ty for the two great political par
ties to get together. The rebuke
given to the President by the
House Of Representatives was al
most unanimous but when these
solons again go before the people
for re-election, many Of them will
be forced to explain, why tits they
objected to secret service men
looking into their acts.

ONLY INCIPIENT RoTTEENEss.

In his exposure of Senator
Tillman's little Oregon land-grab
scheme, President Roosevelt un
ouestionably made out prima
faciae case. The force of the
charge was weakened at the out.
set, though. by the assumed
mighty-mogul .of-morality atti-
tude of the President. who has
lately busted himself very much
in efforts to uncover some evil
doors, while shutting his eyes
vigorously in directions from
which the smell of smoke was
coming in almost sitting vol-
umeS.
To the charges preferred by the
President, Senator Tillman en-
tiers a sort of plea of confession
and avoidance, admitting the
documentary evidence set forth,
but protesting that he did not
violate any law, that he simply
sought to buy some public land
as any citizen had a right to do,
and that he proved his good faith
by exposing the matter when he
discovered that there was a swim
die on foot. AS further substan-
tiating this position he sets up
his record for integrity and good
faith. He courts and demands a
searching investigation and says
he awaits cheerfully and will
gladly abide by the verdict. To
this extent Senator Tillman's de-
fense is worthy of full considera.
ton, while his personal thrusts
at Mr.. Roosevelt, charges Of NAL
ice, etc., are in the main mere
plays to the gallery. The main
trouble about the whole matter is
that Mr.. Tillman has not been
content to serve as a Senator Of
the United States, to which posi-
ton he was elected by South Car
DINA, but he has allowed himself
to become infected by the money
bug, and he has sought by one
means or another to accumulate
wealth while nominally serving
the public.
The fact that others, and pos
sible fellow Senators, have done
similarly is neither here nor
there. He has probably been
guilty of nothing more than sin
cipient rottenness," his favorite
! charge against others few years
ago, but he did not keep constant
ly before him the truth as assert
ed by Pau! the Apostle that ''the
love of money is the root of all
evil If he had never laid aside
his public duties to engage in
money making he would in all
PROBABILITY never have coveted a
few "quarter sections OF we'll tim
bered land" away out in the State
of Oregon.
AS to the merits of the case as
it stands, that is probably subor-
dinated in the general public es-
timation to the present dramatic
combat between the Big Stick
and the Pitchfork, and as there
is a promise of more to come in
that line the public will be on the
alert to applaud each home thrust
from whichever side it may come.
We hope and believe that Sena-
tor Ti,lman will so act that his
enemy will be aware of him, but
we are sorry that he ever wanted
some of that Oregon land.

During the late campaign

During the late campaign in
this State, John Gary Evans de,
nounced the views Of R. Goodwin
Rhett as undemocratic, and said
if Rhett was a Democrat they
might read him (Evans) out Of the
party. Inasmuch as the national
convention endorsed Rhett's
views, our Legislature might
provide some way for reading
Evans out. They have enacted
laws governing the conduct of
campaigns in almost all other
particulars.

WHEN MEN KISS.

When King Edward and Emperor
William met In Berlin this morning
''they kissed and made up" Men
kissing Is looked upon In this country
as an evidence OF seftness, but what
is custom Is right, and were Americans
reared under similar conditions they,
too, while In Rome, would do as Ro-
mans do. The moving pictures of
Pathe repeatedly disclose men kissing
each other on the cheolc-even hus
bands kiss their wives on the cheek

inclined lovers. occasionally the prac-
tice surviving after courtsnip.

outward expression Of afeotion, trust
and friendship, but the average Ger

kissing was but an empty salutacIon.
For several years England has watch
ed the German army and navy with
q distrust equal to that Of the French
for the Germans, and on the other
hand Auglophobia has been so ramp

OF Count zeppelin's alrshIps as a
means of landing armed forces In Eng
land while rendering the British navy
helpless In staying the Invasion.
There were rumors OF King Ed.
wards contempt for his nephew, the
emperor, and Of q resentful spirit ex-
listing In Berlin. but the embracing and
kissing which occurred at the railroad
station either marks these rumors as
gossip without foundation or proves
the royal crew to be adopts IN hypoc.
