deserves to be ranked as the most inn

ating the judicial from the administra-
tive functions of government. 1t is
substantially a device for avoiding
government by Injunction by substi-
tuting a review for an injunction. If
public utility company offers in
court any evidence not offered to the
commission, the court is required to
send the case back to the commission,
and the commission is again author

THE SENATOR CURTIS CHARGES

THE SENATOR CURTIS CHARGES.
. Friends and acquaintance5 of United
States Senator Charles Curtis win pro-
badly suspend judgment, as they un-
doubtedly should, until something more
definite in the way Of evidence is pre-
sented that he was mixed up in the
scheme to muIct the Choctaw and
Ckickaaaw Indians out Of millions of
dollars for attorneys fees It would
be just as we'll to suspend judg
ment in the case of Vice President
James s. Sherman, whose name has
also been given prominence in the case
by United States Senator Gore. of Ok
lahoma.
1t must be remembered that Senator
Gore is not testifying of his own knowl-
edge that Sherman. Curtis and others
were mixed up in this questionable
transaction. He has merely said that
he was told they were interested" by
man, Jake L. Hamon, by name, and
former chairman: of the Oklahoma ter
rit torial Republican committee, by fame.
Hamon gave this information to Mr..
Gore while he was trying to get him
to take a bribe of from $25,e09 to $4,000
for keeping his hands off and permit
ting legislation to go through the sem
ate without objection which would
Tatify these $3OGG.000 in attorneys fees.
No one doubts the veracity of Mr..
Gore. 1t shows Hamon to be a bribe
giver a criminal in the eyes Of the law.
SO Hamon's word isn't worth very much
in an uncorroboIated form. In his en-
deavors to bribe Senator Gore to 10
his will. his argument would be greatly
strengthened-or he would think so at
any rate-if he could tell Mr.. Gore that
other senators and men of prominence
were in on the same game.
Perhaps this is all the Hamon story
amounts to. Senator Curtis, at anv
rate, denies emphatically that he has
played any part in these McMurray con-
tracts. He insists he has contended
that it was the duty of the govern
ment, under the law passed by con-
gress, TO handle the property in ques-
tion for the Indians, and not permit
them to be squeezed by attorneys. Mr..
Curtis says that this position of his
can be verified by the president. men,
bers of his cabinet and senators. Mr..
Curtis has expressed his Willingness to
appear before the congressional investi-
eating committee any time to be ex-
amined and refute the imputations
which have been cast on his good
name.
1t ought to take more than unsup-
ported tale of Briber Jake Hamon to
convince even the political enemies of
Senator Curtis in Kansas. let alone his
friends, that he has been guilty of any
such serious misconduct in the high and
honorable Office he holds.
While Senator Gore is no doubt hon
est he places himself in the position
of scandal monger when he retails idle
gossip unsupported by evidence. He
should have stopped to consider that
his words might irreparably injure men
as honest as him self.

A PRESENCE.

A PRESENCE.
The best mahogany is scratched:
There's mud upon the polished floor;
me sun and storm beat in. Unmatched
And swinging wide stands every door.
Each hour is luncheon time, it seems,
And hunger pauses not for grace.
Farewell to idleness and dreams,
There is boy about the place.
The pages of a favorite book
Are marked with thumbprints here and
there.
The house dog wears a puzzled look,
Yet welcomes mischief in the air.
Paint brush and nails and hammer play
Odd pranks which years cannot efface.
Adieu, oh lazy. lettering day!
There is a boy about the place
But when o'erhead the starry train
In wopderous pageantry is shown
Our heartbeats echo back again
The sweet affection of his own.
The paths which far beyond us range
Are his to tread with youthful pace,
And night seems solemn, still and strange
There is a boy about the place.
