The Liar in Politics.

From the Newark Star.
Lying by innuendo and by false infer
enceS is not as respectable and certainly
not as courageous as lying outright. The
man in public life who resorts to deliber-
ate Justification, whether directly or by
innuendo. is sure to be exposed, no mat
ter how neatly he wells his lies or makes
them plausible with honeyed words. Men
who make false statements unintention-
ally through misinformation and have the
conscience to correct them can be held
blameless and are easily forgiven, but
the man who by word or implication
utters a lie and trades upon II, and when
challenged is either silent or repeats the
ia school is man of no moral prin-
ciple no matter what his pretensions
may be- In the huriy-burly of a political
campaign covering the continent a
speaker may inte:lard his speeches with
adroi; falsehoods and not be held to an
immediate account. American audiences
are courteous and usually they are so
widely scattered that the truth can never
catch up with falsifier. While the cam
paign lie may be regarded as belonging
to the license of partisan politics, the
habit in a speaker is not altogether for
gotten. 1t leaves its faint upon him.

A National Budget.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

While the house of comOns is sitting
as committee of ways and means the
chancellor of the eXchequer makes a
statement which contains review OF
the finances, presents estimates OF
receipts and expenditures, outlines u
readjustment Of taxes for the needs of
the year. and perhaps introduces some
new tax or some new scheme of taxa
ton. This is the budget upon which
the government, which is part of the
house, and the house work together.
In effect there is a board of directors
acting as a business board might in the
financial affairs of the nation. y bud

thing approaching that system. If We
cannot have its very desirable elias

can at least avoid the division that
exists between the two sides Of the
account-an excess of enthusiasm for
appropriations regardless Of receipts.

and of action. President Taft and
Secretary MacNeaSh are working that

A Complex Murder Case Plea.

A murder case Is I'm course of prepara-
ton for trial up in Orange county. n. Y,
that promises to be one of the most in
tesesting in the course of American GRIM
inal Jurisprudence. A lawyer is accused
of having killed a woman client from
whom he had obtained the will making
over her property to her mother and OF
presenting later for a waiver OF her rights
a woman pretending to be the mother Of
the testator. There Is no doubt of the
fact of death nor of the fact Of the will
nor of the waiver. The accused man,
however, denies that he caused the wom-
ans death. claiming that 1t was acct
dental. and he asserts that the will was
genuine and that the waiver was given
by the mother. The prosecution claims
that the mother of the dead woman had
herself been dead for a long time prior
10 the commission OF the alleged crime,
and that she was imperSonated by a
hired agent of the accused in the filing of
the waiver OF rights. There is SUFFICIENT
testimony to put the case in a very dark
aspect for the accused. The dead woman
Is said to have expressed herself on sew
eEai occasions as being afraid OF her law

And do a little for himself;
And We. the crowd conglomerate
Who marvel AT his bold device
Alas. do not appreciate

All smiling, in the public eye
No trace of fear does he disclose.

What pains must haunt his wrists of stee

Mr.. Wilson and His vision.

In Pennsylvania yesterday Mr.. Viii

sixteen years seen exactly what was
coming in the year 1912 have no doubt

democratic party has had substantially

government TO the people for more

This is the vision Mr. Wilson referred
IL in speech made ten days or two
weeks ago.
rs The Star pointed out then Mr..
w ilson did not share in any such
vision. Sixteen years ago he was
opposed to Mr.. Bryan ard everything
for which MIR. Bryan stood. The prop
"sition at that time, as he saw it. was
national bankruptcy. and he stood with
Mr.. Cleveland and other gold demo-
Gratis against the fifty-cent dollar
propa "anda. Vt a later day. and while
still his party's national leader. Mr.
Bryan proposed government ownership
and operation of railroads. Did not
Ny. Wilson also oppose that? And only
A few years ago Mr.. Wilson. because of
Mr.. ETyans schemes for returning the
government 10 the people, was wish
ing that somebody would knock him
into a cooked hat
Those Of u.s. This deliverance of
Mr.. Wilson emphasizes afresh the
peculiar character of his triumph over
Mr.. Clark ut Baltimore. Mr.. Clark was
undoubtedly .of us" For sixteen
years he had faithfully supported Mr.
Bryan in all of the latter's races for
the presidency and contentious about
public policies. East or west, north or
south. Mr.. Bryan had had no ADLER. no
more loyal follower than the gentle
man from Missouri. While .,ir. Wilson,
from a scholars retreat at Princeton
had been 'slamming' Mr.. Bryan to the
full extent of choice vocabulary,
Mr.. Clark from the stump had been
soliciting votes for him.
And Yet, in the supreme hour of Mr.
Clark's fortunes. Mr.. Bryan threw over
his veteran supporter for the new con-
vert. Because Tammany was voting for
Mr.. Clark-the organization which
few years before MIR. Bryan had pub
licly coddled and praised-he now
severed friendship of years and gave
his hand to a man who had fought
him tooth and all for at least fourteen
years.
An important point in this campai ign

Yer friend. The coroner who caused the
elimination of the body for an autopsy
several weeks after the death. has told
the court that the woman was undoubt-
eddy strangled before going into the
water, and a brother of the dead woman
has come from Austria and identified her
by photographs and has declared that
their mother died long before the filing OF
the alleged waiver of rights. To this in
dictment the accused man enters re-
narkablc plea He admits the death of
a woman but declares it to have been
accidental He asserts that she was not
the same woman as the sister of the
Austrian and daughter Of the woman
who died in Europe some time ago but
another of the same name whose mother
is living If this plea can be maintained
II destroys the presumption of motive in
volved in a false impersonation of the
testator's mother and wcakens the prob
ability of murder. OF course. there would
still remain the testimony of the coroner
that the dead woman was chOked before
entering the water Gibsons defense is
not particularly promising of results. but
It is at all events ingenious beyond
parallel. He takes "A serious risk. how
ever. for he is confronted by several I'M
deniable facts-the dead woman's fear of
him. her death i'm a boat while alone with
him. her Identification by her brother
through photographs and the proof that
her mother died before the filing Of the
waiver of rights. II he can prove that
there was n coincidence of similar per-
sonalities and that there has been a mis-
take of Identities he still has difficult
case. But he has certainly laid the foun
dation for q compleXity that may bring
confusion to the minds of the jury and
