next House IL Mr.. Clark presides over 1t.
He may head ono of the nine inquisitorial
bodies suggested-maybe the most i'm
portant one.
And yet II would be unwise for the
democrats to rely too much upon that
source for campaign material. So much

So many charges OF waste, and worse,

was, Let us get a look at the books. y
The republicans had been in continuous
possession Of the executive departments
OF the national government for twenty
four years. and spellbinders conceived the
idea that there had been a continuous
riot of graft and pilfering. At any rate
they so charged, and promised big results
from change of executive heads. A
democratic administration would turn on
the light, and rascals sorged with plumber
would be revealed by the hundreds.
The result of this cry in votes cannot
be stated, but the result of the change,
from republican to democratic control,
made the cry ridiculous. 1.-The books"
were found in good shape. Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet officers unearthed no mass
of corruption in any quarter. Uncle Sam
had not been robbed for twenty-four
years running, but upon the whole had
been well and honestly served, and many
of the subordinate officials in the depart
ments were retained, both for their ex-
perience and their records.
A democratic House. to be of value to
that party in the presidential campaign,
will have to do more than rummage for
republican rascals in executive depart
ments. 1t must make a record on the
tariff question. With what sort Of tariff
law should the Payne law be supplanted?
1t must make record on econ
omy. If the republicans have been
spending the peoples money with both
hands, which hand should so out of bust
ness, and where should the money go?
And then what is the democratic pro-
gram as to railroads. conservation. and
all that? A democratic House. to justify
its existence, will have to say.

Financial Faithlessness.

Justice Stafford in the District Su-
preme Court yesterday administered two
sentences to men convicted OF embezzie-
ment. One was sent to the penitentiary
for twenty years and the other for six
teen years. These heavy sentences were
imposed by the court in view of the fact
that in each case the convicted man had
violated q trust reposed in him by 9TH
ers.
Modern business dealings of all descrip-
tons are founded upon confidence. In
every relation there must be trust in
others. So complex are modern affairs,
SO interdependent are the relations of
individuals. that no longer is the average
man able to transact all of his affairs for
himself. He must place his funds in
banks, or in the hands of agents for in
vestment. He must put his property in
the custody Of other persons. relying upon
their fidelity for true accounting and
Jealous attention to details.
In the cases which eliminated in the
sentences imposed yesterday each man
had become the custodian of funds of
other persons. intrusted to him for in
vestment. Each had assumed response
bility the full discharge of which de-
manded the most perfect integrity. Had
any question crossed the minds of his
clients he would not have been chosen
for this role as fiduciary agent 1t was
because there was no suspicion, because
there was perfect faith, that he was
given charge of the funds which later
he Incorporated or wasted.
Sentences such as have been imposed
in these cases should operate as a whole
some influence. They should emphasize
the fact that the financial responsibility
OF agency carries with 1t an obligation
Of honesty with a heavy penalty. In all
but the rarest instances these trusts of
business are faithfully discharged The
cases just disposed Of by the court will
not shake general public confidence. They
should, however. cause the owners of
money to be more particular about the
channels chosen for their personal invest
ments and to select the agents of their
transactions with greater care. There is
no reflection upon an honest man TO ask
him for credentials. An honest agent
seeks to be proved in his integrity.

Taft and Ohio.

In the latest news from Beverly men
ton il made of the platform to be adopt
ed by the Ohio republicans at their COM
ing state convention. National issues
will Of course be mentioned and the
administration Endorsed. But will ex-
preston be made of desire that Mr..
Taft again lead the party in 1912? 1t
is said that Mr.. Taft's friends favor such
a deliverance.
Gov. Harmon stands as the proclaimed
choice of his party friends at home for
the democracy's national standard bearer
two years hence. 1t was generally un-
derstood. both in Ohio and elsewhere, be-
fore the democratic state convention met
that, IL reelected, Gov. Harmon would
at once become an active presidential
quantity, but his friends decided that 1t
would help him in the race to have the
fact distinctly stated. The decision was
good politics. Undoubtedly the Harmon
men in the state will work the harder
because of the higher hope held out,
while the Harmon men elsewhere-east.
west and south-will do whatever may
lie In their power-subscriptions are al
ways thankfully received-to forward the
governors present campaign.
AS matters stand today there is no
reason to doubt the denomination of Mr..
Taft He is showing the qualities Of true
leadership. very large majority of his
party's strongest men are in touch and
thorough sympathy with him. and have
nobody else in view for 1912. He is not
involved in the controversies growing out
Of either "Cannonism'' or "Aldrichisnn.
At the regular session Of Congress ne
showed large influence with that body,
and secured legislation which the coun-
try is applauding.
OF course Mr.. Taft wants his party to
win "all along the line this year, but
particularly in Ohio. Ohio is home. And
dear, always. Is the Endorsement of the
home folks. He is looking to Ohio.
xood-sized majority there will hearten
him nightly" for the work TO come.
With assurance that what he has already
done Is right. he will move with the
greater confidence.
II 10 out Of these circumstances the
suggestion springs that mention of Mr..
Taft and 1912 would aid the republicans
in Ohio this year. The proposition is to
play Taft against Harmon on national
issues-to accept the Harmon challenge.
We have not to wait long for the decision
as to this suggestion. In less than two
weeks the republican state convention
will assemble. with nearly everybody of
consequence present, and everybody fully
aware of the fact that a fight is ahead
certain to try the skill and Judgment of
the partys best and most experienced
managers.

Midsummer Nonsense.
From the New York World.

The Intellectual Splash.

A speech he made with eager care
To help the nation.
He took a long time to prepare
His great grafton.
He studied hard for phrases fit
And fine to word it.
Last April he delivered it.
Nobody heard it.
Quoth he, I'll take my pen in hand
And write my story.
I'll print my own productions and
Gain instant glory"
He piled up copy day by day
And boldly spread it
In type, with generous display.
Nobody read it.
Then in his buoyant mood appeared
Signs of depression.
His public cares had interfered
With his profession.
He babe farewell to thankless strife
Glad to get through it.
He then retired to private life,
Nobody knew it.

Japan.

The exchange of compliments between
Secretary Dickinson and Count Komura
at Toxic last evening reads all the better
because of squaring with public sentiment
In both America and Japan. Sensational
ism has not SO far impaired, and should
not at any time impair, the friendship of
the two governments. The efforts, how
ever, will not cease. Nor will they be
confined to agitators in America and ia
pan. 1t is to be remembered that certain
European influences have picked the an
tagonists for the next great scrap be-
tween nations, with the Pacific as the war
water. They will do their best to try to
force Uncle Sam and the mikado to cross
swords.

Improved Compass.
From the Springfield Republican.

Until now the ancient mariners COM
pass, which has been used by navigators
for centuries, has been considered a fixed
quantity. 1t is. therefore, interesting to
learn that an improved compass is being
tested by the Navy Department on board
the. scout cruiser Birmingham. The new
compass Is combined with rapidly re-
volving gyroscope. which eliminates all
variation and deviation of the needle OF
the compass. This. according to naviga-
tors, will make the art of navigation
much easier and remove the uncertainty
Of ships location due to variation and
deviation of the compass. Another ad-
the main instrument can be placed in the
interior of the ship. where it can be pro-
tected by armor plate. Branch compass
stations can be placed In different parts
of the ship. connected by an electric wire
to the main compass. So far the reports
on the new compass have been satisfac-
tory.

A Cure for Tetanus?
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


Reports from the Cooper Hospital in
Camden give surprisingly gratifying re-
suits in the treatment of tetanus. With
in the past month, it is said, three pa
TENTS who had genuine cases of lock
jaw have been cured. Two of these were
children and the other a man of forty
four. In the latter case the disease had
reached the state where the mans jaws
were locked and his whole nervous sys-
tenn was temporarily paralyzed. The
treatment used is an anti-tetanic serum
which is said to act very quickly and
leave no harmful results. This disease is
one that has baff1ed medical science for
centuries and if a specific has been dis.
covered one of the most insidious and
most serious menaces to life has been
overcome. 1t has been often said that
medical science is not progressing witt;
the same rapdity as it's allied branch
surgery, but there seems reason for be-
lieving that experimentation will in the
next decade or so work wonders in this
line. Cures of tetanus are so uncommon
as to excite comment at present, and the
continued results obtained from this
serum will be watched with more than
ordinary interest.
