A Question of Ethics.

Secretary Ballinger discharges
Stenographer Kerby with the fol-
lowing polite reprimand:
asir-You are herby discharged
from the public service because you
are unworthy to remain in it. In
divulging information obtained by
YOU in the confidential relation Of
stenographer to the secretary of the
interior; in communicating that in
formation to those whom you are
bound to know are wrongfully seeI
ing to bring reproach upon the I'd
ministration and to injure me, and
in deliberately misstating material
facts, as to which you did treacher-
ously communicate, you show that
you are unworthy and unsafe. The
fact that your treachery is futile
can not, mitigate the character OF
YOUR offense. For the good Of the
service you are hereby dismissed. Re-
spectfully, r. A. Ballinger, Secre-
tary."
This raises question Of ethics,
saws the Commoner, and as Mr.. Ker-
by suggests Secretary Ballinger is
not an excellent judge in matters
of ethics. How far is clerk re-
ouired to suppress his conscience
in order Ito avoid the charge of
''treachery?" A public office is
or is supposed to be-a public trust.
The official is paid by the people to
do the peoples work. To what eX-
tent is secrecy justificable?
IA public servant has been dischar-
ged and congressional committee
is Investigating the charge; doc
ument is called for and the commit
tee rules that it ought to be pro-
duced. 1t can not be found, and
circumstances indicate that the in
terested parties do not care to pro-
duce it. Several officials who know
the facts remain silent, but con-
fidential clerk decides that he ought
to tell what he knows. He does 1t,
and is discharged, but the document
turns up.
Now the question is before the
public conscience. What will the
decision be, If the clerk is guilty OF
falsehood let him be convicted on
that charge and discharged, but ne
was dismissed without trial.
If he told the truth why should
he be discharged, If the facts are
not discreditable to those lnVolVeo
how can he be guilty of treachery'
If the facts are discreditable why
not punish the guilty? What stan
dard shall we employ to pronounce
harsher judgment against the one
who tells than against the one whose
misdeeds have been exposed? II II
is right to pardon criminal @ho
turns states evidence why should a
clerk be discharged for simply tel
ing what he saw others do?

Give Us the Proof.

''No census of the United States
would be the genuine thing that did
not include the biggest fakcr that
ever occupied the Presidential chair.
We insist that Teddy be counted.
The Branchvile Journal quotes the
above from The Times and Democrat
and comments on it as follows:
That sounds like the utterances of
YOUR Ben Tillman without the quo
tation marks that would have gone
around the lines" If the Journal
means to insinuate that Senator Till
man wrote the above paragraph and
The Times and Democrat used it in
its editorial column, We challenge It's
statement, and demand its proof for
making the insinuation that the par
agraph was not written by one of
the Editors of The Times and Demo
crat. Let US have the proof, please.

1t seems we'll nigh incredible that
in some iron mills men are compell-

seven days in the week. And all
this sacrifice of comfort, strength,
health and other things which make
life desirable, and which everyone
should possess, is made that some
multi-mil!icnaires may have still
larger dividends to crafty their lust
for wealth.

We are now we'll on in the second
generation from the civil war and
the echoes of the strife are but lit
tie heard. Old animosities have we'll
nigh ceased and as fo- the issues
leading to the conflict We scarcely
mention them. Breadth Of view and
a common patriotism bind the peo-
pie and now there is no difficulty in
recognizing the heroism and SINGER
ity which marked both sides in the
struggle.

How in the world can We have a
quiet fourth unless the Ballinger
trial is prolonged beyond that date.
While the committee will not paint

Ballinger white, and that will cause
no little hilarity in some quarters,
if the trial is finished before the
fourth.
