Good Party Man.

When Aldrich's testimony in the Lorimer case is considered it must be acknowledged that the Rhode Island statesman emerg- ed rather badly from the dirty affair. He cleared President Taft's skirts of the charge of un- due interest in Lorimer, and doubtless told the truth, so far as he went, but there were too many'things he failed to renenl- Der. One of these was whether his first interview was of his own or the lumberman's seeking The public will not believe that a mans memory can be so de- fective in SO important a matter. This, however, is a condition that makes arrival at the truth difficult matter in investiga- tions of this kind. Too many public men forget" when they are placed on the stand. But Aldrich's testimony made 1t quite evident that high officials in Washington were interested in having a ''good republican, elected in Illinois. The special meaning of that word "good' conveys the complete story of shame which has overtaken llll- nois, and which touched Wash ington. Doubtless it touched in places which have never become public.
 The people should learn a les son from this clear demOnstra- tion of what happens as a re- suit of preference shown for a "good" party man ln any ln- stance.-Fort Smith Times-Re- cord.
