Police Attack. Inspired.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The attacks made on the police de-
psrtment In a local sheet were inspired
by Republican politicians, in the hope
of getting something against Demo-
cratic officials to offset the effect on
the Republican party in Newark and
the county Of the exposures of the
scandals at the County Hospital for the
Insane at Overlook and the incom-
potency of the Republican officials
there. AS far as gambling is concerned
there has always been, as now, and
always will be gambling for money in
clubhouses, homes and hotels in cities
and towns and in cottages at seaside
and mountain resorts. The police have
no right to enter any of these places
without a warrant issued by a court
after an affidavit has been made by a
complainant, or informer. charging
violation of the law.
If gambling places exist in Newark
or any place In Essex county-houses
or rooms run by professional gamblers
1t would be difficult for a police officer
to get into n of them, and even II
arrests were made and indictments re-
turned by a grand jury there would not
be a conviction in one case out of one
hundred, for an accused a cannot be
made to give testimony against him
self in a criminal case. Why do not the
political moralists make an attack
upon h private gambling by rich
women? There is lots of 1t In our city.
1t is common talk at the Court House
that the public prosecutor told the last
grand jury there would be no use to
return indictments against members of
the Board of Freeholders, who have
charge of the hospital for the insane,
because there was no law in New Jer-
sey to punish a freeholder. There
is as much law for the punish
ment Of freeholders who violate the
laws and their oaths of office as there
is to punish city officials who are
proved to have done wrong. Many
readers of the EVENING STAR will
remember that three Newark city
officials were sent to State prison for
~defalcations, and that seventeen others,
several of them aldermen, we're indicted
for conspiracy. All of these officials
were Republicans. The indictments
against the seventeen were pigeon
holed by political influence. Freeholders

Church Diplomacy.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
S~ir-Cardinal Richelieu's sage re-
mark, that the pen was mightier than
the sword" is exemplifed in the pres
ent issue of the vatican with Spain,
and the recent troubles of the See of
Rome with France. While the present
Pope Plus *. is an exceedingly holy
and excellent man, he Is not the great
statesman and diplomat that his prede-
cessor, Leo XIII. was. Leo was prob
ably the greatest man of the nineteenth
century, as a statesman, diplomat,
scholar and priest. At the beginning of
his pontificate he had his own troubles
with Germany, and by a series of bril-
liant diplomacy came out the winner,
winning the respect of that man of in
domitable will, and "of blood and iron,"
the German Chancellor Bismarck. Pope
Leo had under him an able and trained
diplomat in the person of Cardinal
Rampolla, the papal secretary. 1t Is
much to be regretted hat w such
able and astute diplomats are not at
the helm to direct the affairs of Church
and State today. Both Pope Leo and
his secretary, but particularly the for
mer, won the admiration of the world
as regards their diplomacy, inc while
the Catholic Church will in the end
come out ahead, and triumph as she
has always eventually done, n cannot
help wishing hat such an able states
man and diplomat is not at h head of

POLITICAL CHAOS IN NEBRASKA.

S1a HERE is a bewilderng mixup in politics in Nebraska, Mr..
Bryans State, and Mr.. Bryan has been a large contributor
to the confusion that exists. 1t is hard to say what a can
didate of either party actually represents, and there is dispute as
to what the platforms contain. Republican leaders antagonize the
Republican platform and certain planks in the platform are decried
by some leading party papers. On the Democratic side there is a
split on county option, and Mr.. Bryan is widening it by supporting
party candidates who are optionists, opposing those who are not.
without regard to the platform, which is against county option.
The Populists add variety to this political mess. They are support
ing the Democrats, while at the same time their platform, like the
Republican platform, declares for county option.

RELIEF FOR THE CRIMINAL MIND.

CRIPPEN expressed his sense of relief after his arrest.
III He had carried on his guilty mind the consciousness of his
awful crime and the constant apprehension of arrest.
When he embarked for Canada it was with the knowledge that the
chances for escape were against him, as the hue and cry for him
was everywhere. That voyage across the Atlantic was a longcon-
tinued torture. What wonder that the arrest was almost welcome.
1t relieved the strain. The man who murdered his wife and carved
the flesh from her bones in order to conceal his crime could not
endure the pursuing nemesis. He was almost glad it was over
There are many cases in criminal annals of persons giving them
selves up for punishment to be relieved of the mental horror and
the necessity for lodging justice. In many cases murderers who
have been pursued and caught after long concealment have ex
pressed the same feeling as that of DIR. Crippen. Fear and ss.
pense haunting the mind day and night are a terrible punishment.

THE KANSAS PRIMARIES TO-DAY.

eTH ODAY Kansas is holding its primary elections, and the re-
suits will have a national interest. There are eight con-
gressional districts in the State, all of which are now Re-
publican. Six of the present members are Cannon men and two
are insurgents" There has been a vigorous primary election cam
paign, in which Speaker Cannon and Senator Bristow have promi-
nently figured. A State ticket, including governor, is to be nomi-
mated, and the present. Republican governor is seeking renomi-
nation, and is the candidate of the insurgents" The interest
centres in the congressional districts. The national administra.
ton wants to see the six Cannon men renominated and the two
insurgents" defeated, and the Federal machine in Kansas has
worked to that end. A reversal of that program by the renomi-
nation of the "insurgent" congressman and the defeat of the six
Cannon men will be a staggering blow to the Taft administration.
1t will be an unfailing indication of the general result throughout
the country in November.

Why Act Grassy Mt Ball Gamess
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Why should people at a baseball
game behave as if absolutely crazy?
That is my query, and a little COM
ment follows to back 1t up. We read
in this mornings paper of a woman
who actually attacked an umpire whose
decision was averse to her wishes; we
read of mobs in New York or Chicago
attacking the umpire for a decision
against the home team. Isn't 1t time
for people to either take control of
themselves, or hire a physician to look
up and kill the microbe that sets them
crazy at a baseball game?

LAFEAN BILL DEAD
Main Issue Changed from Boxes
to Question Of Grades.
Entire Product of East Becomes Sec
ond Grade, and All Support
Is Withdrawn.

Washington, March 22.- Congress,
at this session at least, will not pass
the Lafean bill to regulate the ship
ment Of apples in interstate commerce.
The bill in an amended form may possi-
bly, pass the house, but the subject is
so vastly important to the apple in
dustry of the whole United States that
it cannot receive that consideration to
which is it is entitled, and for that
reason its final enactment seems out
of the question so far as the present
session is concerned.
There is much more to the measure
than was presumed when the bill was
introduced, and the recent hearings
before the house committee disclosed
that the bill had many phases and two
sides to every phase.
At the opening of the hearings the
friends Of the measure dwelt upon the
Importance of changing the size of
boxes now in use in the Pacific North
west, so as to compel the apple grow
ers of those states to adopt box not
now in use anywhere box not at all
adapted to the apples that have made
Oregon and Washington famous. But
before the hearing closed, the size of
apple boxes was found to be a COM
paratively unimportant feature of the
bill, and the standardization of grades
became paramount provision, the both
in the eyes of Eastern and Western APP
pie growers and dealers.
1t was found, upon examination, that
the bill provided for three standard
grades of apples, and required maxi
ing on each package of the grade con-
tained therein. Grade A, the best, un-
der the Lafean bill would be apples
measuring two and one-half inches in
diameter; grade B apples two and a
quarter inches in diameter, and grade
G apples two inches in diameter.
There was allowance for variation
of only half an inch in thethree grades.
This standardization met the unquali-
fed approval of the New York, New
England and Pennsylvania apple grow
ers and dealers in those and other
Eastern states.
But it met with decided opposition
from the growers of the Pacific North
west.

DOUBLE WRECK ON o. r. &. N.
Two Dead; Two Engines and Five
Box Cars Demolished.

Pendleton, March 22.-Two men are
dead, two engines demolished, and five
loaded box-cars, with their contents,
are piled in confused mass, as a result
of double wreck, the first in the his
tory of the 0. R. & NJ, which occurred
eight miles east Of Pendleton at 7:45
O'Clock yesterday morning. The dead
are Edward Hopple, La Grande, Or,
and Engineer S. L. Risk, La Grande,
Or.
Engine No. 215, in charge of Engin-
eer Risk and Fireman Hopple, was
running "light" without a train
from Meacham to Umatilla, after hav-
ing helped extra freight No. 985 up
the mountain from La Grande. In
rounding nine-degree curve at point
where the track skirts the Umatilla
river on one side and runs under high
bluff on the other, the engine left the
track and plunged into the bluff.
AS both the engine and the tender
were clear of the rails, the block sig
nal registered "clear track to the
oncoming freight, 20 minutes behind
the engine. The crew of the latter did
not know of their danger until they
dashed around the sharp curve and
were almost upon the wreck.
