"Mnn Higher Up" Glass Growing.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
What's the matter. anyway, with the
men higher up in u national gov
eminent? There's hardly a day that
passes without some scandal involving
so-called big men. The latest is the
vice-President of this great and glori-
Gus country and "other officials in
cluded,' as the newspapers aptly put
it. OF course, there are denials, and
will be more denials; but a long ex-
perienee in matters involving public
men leads one to the firm belief in he
old adage that Where there's smoke
there's fire" What always strikes me
as remarkable in the doings of public
men that become besmirched is that
they are so dense as to believe, ap-
parentiy, that they will never be found
out. In these days of glaring publicity
no mar can hide a dimmed or dirty
light under a bushel or anything else.
These constant attacks upon the in
tegrity of public men by other public
men, who ought to know what they are
talking about, are enough to make a
man lose faith in his fellow men as
soon as they get into the class higher

But l looked in vain, for not a single
word of condemnation did I see.
Now, l defy anyone to disprove the
truth of the assertion that those who
by their influence are in a position to
stop such atrocities, and who re-
ligiously refrain formulating any steps
which would have a tendency to put a
stop to them. are as much responsible
as those who actually commit the
deed. This. then, will include a great
majority of the American people.
Now, / trust that the people of in
f1uence of this country, II they wish
the United states to retain the right
to be classed among the enlightened
nations of the world, will take imme-
date action to remedy at least this
particular disgraceful condition which
exists within our own borders, for not
only were d~efenseless men slain, but I
am quite sure that were the whole
truth to be told, that women and chill

Asylum Conditions shocking.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The expose Of affairs at Overlook
seems to me to create such q wave CT
indignation against all those who are
responsible as to bury them forever
out of public sight. The treatment OF
these poor helpless creatures, so brutal
and heathenish, is a blot upon the fair
name OF New Jersey. Why should 1t
have been left for a grand jury to see
that these poor helpless creatures were
afforded protection? / for one will be

grand jury are adopted and the free
holders shorn of their power. Why

SECRETARY LOUDENsLAdER HAS NO FEARS.

TIN REPRESENTATIVE LOUDENSLAGER, of the First New
Inn Jersey district, who is secretary of the Republican National
Committee and one of the devoted adherents of Speaker
Cannon, does not regard the results of the Kansas primaries as of
any significance, because kansas has always been an erratic
State Therefore, as Mr.. Loudenslager sees it, the Kansas pi-
maries won't have much influence in other States Even in Iowa
Mr.. Loudenslager believes the insurgents are not in the majority.
He is well satisfied with the results in Ohio, which he declares twill
have a powerful influence on other States" Politicians have a way
of talking through their hat. Mr.. Loudenslager is much better ad-
vised than his words indicate. If Kansas was an isolated case,
there might be some point to the charge of eccentricity. But the
parry sentiment in Kansas was strongly developed in Indiana, Iowa
and other Republican States, including Massachusetts, before the
Kansas primaries were held. And who knows whether Repre-
sentative Loudenslager is safe for reelection in his own district?
