FRIDAY, OCTOBER IL, 1912.
CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS.

II Is usually proper TO observe the
old adage about saying only good
things of the dead. Mr.. Hartman
is dead, but his memorable interview
with Roosevelt-the one he had or
the one he did not have-still lives
in story If not in song.
1t seems a pity to rake up these
things after the mar is gone. and
yet he must have been an odd sort
Of person-a very odd person indeed.
For while he vas yet in the land
OF the living, in the teeth Of the de-
the American continent. he asserted
that Roosevelt asked him personally
in an interview, to raise $240,. 600
for his campaign.
Furthermore, before any breach
had occurred between him and
Roosevelt, he made the same state
ment, owe the telephone, to Mr..
Twombley, who Immediately re-
peated the conversation to Mr.. Nc
Weigh. Mr.. Peabody, president Of
the Mutual Life Insurance company,
was In Mr.. Harriman's Office and
heard Harriman's part Of the phone
conversation. To Mr.. Peabody also,
with a show Of innocence that was
admirably calculated to convince,
Hartman said that Roosevelt had
asked him to raise the money-part-
" for use in New York, and partly
for use in the general campaign.
Furthermore this singular Mr.. Har-
riman told the same story 10 Mr..
Lovett, an official of the Southern
Pacific railroad company. In fact,
we must count that day lost whose
low descending sun sees not one or
two witnesses come forward with a
statement to the effect that they had
the same statemen from he lips OF
the late railroad magnate.
Under the circumstances II IS haru
TO escape the conclusion that Mr..
Hartman really believed thai he
had such an interview with Mr..
Roosevelt. If it were not for the
fact that the ex-president has m
phatically denied the story, we
should begin TO believe that he had
been caught with the goods OF
However. there Is no doubt about
the denial.

WHY MOTT

Should not a~viators be protected
by law from their own recklessness
and ambition, and from public bru-
tality? This is a question which sug-
gests itself in connection with the
death of Aviator Walsh at Trenton,
n. j., and with the great majority
of aviation accidents. The man who
adopts aviation as a profession is ne
Icessarily a man of nerve, and his in
herent ~fearlessness tends TO make him
disregard the rules of prudence. Yet
it is scarcely open to question that
the public desire for thrills and ex-
lcitement tempts, and sometimes even
forces he man who wants to secure
paying engagements to undertake
fancy stunts and tricks that he
knows imperil his life.
The ability to do these kinds OF
things might be valuable under GER
tain conditions and in time or war,
but for ordinary purposes are nc
more essential TO the aviator than the
ability to perform circus feats is ne
cessary to the average horseman. Pub
lie curiosity which demands such
performances is barbarous and demo
ralizing, and if the law could prohib-
it these aerial gymnastics may sick
ening tragedies would be prevented
and we should cease TO cater, through
aviation at least, to a degraded and
degrading appetite for brutal excite.

We read with more or less JOY the
statement OF the N~icaraguan consul
at Washington that peace is restored
in his country. But our joy is some
what dampened when he proceeds to
explain that when he says peace is
restored he merely means TO say that
normal conditions are restored. For
we Immediately perceive that peace
and normal conditions in Nicaragua
are by no means synonomous terms.

AN OHIO EXPERIMENT.

tanned as valid and Constitutional
the nonpartisan judiciary ballot law
of that State. Ohio. we believe,is the
first State to inaugurate this prin-
ciple which places the judiciary AN
didates upon a separate ballot with
out party designations. Two test
suits were filed, alleging that the
law deprived the voter Of his consti-
tutional right to know the political
principles of the candidates, but the
Supreme Bench has rejected that con-
tention. The Constitution, of course,
makes no reference to parties, and
the voter has therefore no such con-
stitutional right.
The sentiment in favor of keeping
the judiciary out of partisan politics
has been growing steadily. 1t has
been recognized in many States by the
endorsement of candidates of other
parties but Ohio goes a step further
by eliminating the party designa-
tion altogether. Presumably the NOM
nations will be made in the custom
airy manner by the parties but under
the Ohio plan the judicial nominees.

People who have dishes to wash
can not be too careful. The other
day a poor old woman, aged eighty
one, killed herself because her
daughter refused to allow her TO
wash the dishes. About the same
time a boy in New York left home,
and is now apparently lost TO his
family, because his mother asked
him to wash the dishes.

that Roosevelt's campaign of 1904
had been financed by big interests.
