their statement:
We construed the action of the COM
mittee, brought about under these con-

part of an effort by Governor Patterson
to invade and interfere with our solemn
duties as judges Of the Supreme Court.
TO overawe that tribunal. and improperly
influence it's decision in case then
pending before it.
That IS serious accusation to be
brought by the majority Of n state 81

Mr.. Patterson seems to have staked all
in the rescue of the Coopers and to have
strained every power to reverse the
condemned Of 4 gross breach Of official

The arbitrary and preciptate pardon
issued Duncan r. Cooper, accompanied
with the audacious implication that the
Governor would have pardoned both de-
PENDANTS in the case without regard to
the finding Of the jury and Supreme
judges, was properly described in its
unanimous denunciation by the national
press. But the connection made of the
primary plan and the
Cooper case. charged in the address Of
the supreme judges. reaches a degree
of moral turpitude Of which II is i'm
possible TO speak too severely.
Governor Patterson's action has not
been more plainly and vigorously con
demned anywhere than by newspapers
i'm his own section and state.

THE NEWS, NOT THE NAsTINESs
A Word of Appreciation As to The
Tribune s Report of Wolter Trial.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: 7 wish 10 express my apprecis ton
through your columns OF the admirable
way in which you reported the murder
trial OF Albert W. Woter which has Just
closed. To report q case Of this kind.
which furnished so much putrid matter.
which excited such general attention, and
which yellow journalism could SO easily
exploit. in the way that you have done, is
certainly a high-cIass journalistic achieve
ment. You furnished every item OF real
news which intelligent men could desire.
while at the me time you eliminated
every disgusting detail which would offend
the moral sense.
IL is certainly a satisfaction 10 know
that there Is at least one newspaper in
New York which can report all the news
concerning the most sensational and GRIM
insl happenings and at the same time so
state Il that children OF inquirinS minds
may read IL in the home and become posted
on current events without being morally
polluted thereby.

express my satisfaction with the moral
principles OF yC paper and their appli-
cation in this particular instance

MARINE SPEED RECORDS.

A writer for The Atlantic Monthly
makes a serious charge against the cap
tains Of some of the transatlantic liz
ers. affirming that their speed records
are sometimes faxed the course fol-
lowed not being the one that the YES
sells are supposed to take. Thus they
traverse a shorter distance in a given
time than if they adhered TO the pre-
scribed route. Representatives Of the
leading transatlantic lines in New York
lave met this remarkable statement
with vigorous denials. the language
employed by the manager Of the Cuna ri
company. the only one specifically men
toned 10y the magazine writer. being
particularly emphatic.
The reasons advanced for disrredlt-
ing the accusation must appeal strongly
f. public confidence On most steam
ships the younger officers. as well rs
the captain. are required to make oh
ScTvatiOns of the sun fn order 10 deter
mine the ships position. and their rec
ords serve as a check OF their superior
officer. classification. therefore. could
easily he detected when the reports of
n voyage were compared, as is custom
airy. by competent and trusty officials
on shore. Besides. there would alwats
ho chance that ship which was off
its proper course would he observed
from other vessels. So lively is the
competition among various steamship
lines that detection would almost cor
tainly lead to tho prompt publication OF
the truth. As the practice of cutting
of corners 10 lessen mileage and save
time would expose n ship and its pas
scngcrs and cargo 10 increased risk. the
steamship companies apparently could
not afford 10 tolerate II merely for the
sake of any cheap advertising they
might get. There Is So much Inherent
fmprohahility i'm the story told by the
writer for The Atlantic that ocean
yoyagers are warranted in rejecting ii
until proof has been presented.
