AN Indiana official lately refused to
accept two months salary because he
had been necessarily absent and had
not attended to dctieS of his position,

instance of honesty. The silence

Respectfully,
Mr.,

The main objection we note in this
letter is the pharlsaical claim made of
a wisdom of the Lam holier- than
thou order. True principles"
and highest ideals, claimed by the
lady, must all be cut, squared and
tailed to fit her preconceived
ideas of right, Justice and morality.
This is shown by the comprehensive
mind Of our correspondent, who does
not hesitate toinclude Democrats,
with those pests at which she holds
up her hands in holy horror, the
breweres and Saloons, " and in
which that oft-quotcd legal maxim
finds ample verification false in one,
false in ALL and the venom supplies
its own antidote.
In the allegation that we have al
luded to the miserable farce of Pro
hibition in Maine," which we do not
Just now recall, we are willing to as
sumo az responsibility; for we know
it to be true, from that best of teach
ers-EXperience. In 1884, the writ
er, on an Easter trip, made Il visit
to Bar Harbor, Machias, East Ma
HAS, and other parts Of that State,
and although he took with him q
supply of the ardent for not al.
together improbable use as medicine
he did not have to draw the cork or
his whole stay of several weeks
there being plenty OF the same kind
on tap, if the proper Combination
was touched. And State statistics
showing thousands of violations o
the Prohibitory law coming up in tn,
courts every year, is sufficient eyi
dence of It's violation. and the pre-
sumption is that not all violators are
caught So we beg to demur to the
Ttjo0 Nigao1'S claim, or OF tie "
c. T. L. President, that it is g;
widespread success. The investi
cations Of such people are, of course
restricted by ,Leir methods of pro
curing proof, and it is not to be eX
pected that they viii find luncheon
spread when making their paul-spS

Ir is said that the Chairman of the

transferred to position by President
Taft on the Interstate Commerce
Commission. II beats all, how prone
our Republican friends are to swap
