The Steam Roller

During these turbulent political times when
there is so much talk of political machines, rings
cliques and steam rollers we trust that the Iron
comfy road commissioner will not lose sight of the
fact that we have very useful and potent steam
roller for road construction, if applied at the right
time. And the right time to apply it in connac-
tion with the long stretches of unfinished turnpike
between this place and the county seat is after a
rain storm, when the roau material is moist enough
to pack well.
These stretches of unfinished highway have
been an eye-sore as well as agreat Inconvenience
to the travelling public all summer, and we trust
that the commissioner will to it that the work
is polished off at this psychological time.
We are not so much interested in the political
steam rollers as in this castron affair for smash
ing cods; we should like to see it kept moving for
a while. ut least

The Result of Class Prejudice

The resignation of Judge Sanborn of the Fed
eral Court at Seattle, Wash, is a striking example
of the injustice Of class prejudice, but it also
serves TO show that there Is a remedy (which has
existed since the adoption of the constitution
which provides for the removal of any public offic
ial, including judges, whenever his conduct be-
comes improper or his services useless.
In the case of Judge Sanborn, the charges
against him grew out of his refusal to grant nat
uralization papers to foreigner whose replies to
the usual questions to which answers are required
of an allen who seeks to become citizen of the
United States, were not proper but which clearly
indicated that the applicant was not fitted for cit
izenship in a republic where property rights are
sought to be kept inviolate. His answers showed
plainly that he would not support the constitution
of this country. and denial of his right to citi-
zenship was the only thing the Judge could do and
be true to his oath and to the government.
What man would employ another to work for
him if he knew from the questions asked him that
he could not do the work required of him? From
the answers given, Judge Sanborn knew the APP
picant could not be true citizen of the United
States. and accordingly denied his application.
The result was that a storm of protest went
up over the country from those VINO believe as did
the foreigner. The house of representatives
promptly ordered impeachment proceedings to be
brought and an investigating committee was sent
to Seattle to take evidence in the matter
The question of the right or wrong of the de-
cison Of Judge Sanborn in the citizenship mat
ter was almost lost sight of in the shameful pro-
ceedings which followed The investigation re-
solved itself into personal attack on the jurist
Charges of misconduct. drunkenness and the like
were injected into the hearing4ualtbough the
offenses were said to have been committed from
time to time over a period of several years, and
yet. as serious as they were said to be. nothing
had been done until the question Of the admission
of an alien to citizenship became involved.
We do not care to express an opinion on the
truth falsity of the charges of personal nature
brought against the jurisC. they may or may not

cause of the investigation. we can find no error

All of which shows that infla ned passion,
class hatred. and opinions born of lack of knowl-
edge are almost certain to result in unjust and ir
revocable damage, unless constantly restrained and
controlled by power that is greater.

SECRETS ARE Barred
Representative Harrison Says
British Have U. S. Navy Data.
Asserts English Accountants EN-
pIoyed by Department Have Ae-
cess to Observation-Disclosures
Calling for information.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Fran
els Burton Harrison of New York de-
manded that the navy department tell
whether 1t has been employing for
eisn accountants In capacities where
they have had access to the con6den-
tial or secret processes of manufac'
ture In the navy yards. He intro
duced q privileged resolution calling
on Mr.. Meyer, secretary Of the navy
for full information.
The New York Democrat made pub
lie a complaint of the New York state
Society of Certified Public Account
ants, which says in part: Properly to
install cost systems it is necessary for
the accountants TO familiart2e them
selves with the process OF manufac-
ture, material, labor, efficiency of va"
rious machinery and overhead ex-
pense. Hence the secrets of the navy
are accessible to British subjects en-
ployed as accountants. How easy II
would be for secret service agents OF
Great Britain to be employed on the
staff of these chartered accountants
in their navy yard work"
It is further said that British firms
Of accountants have transferred firm
members and a majority Of their mi
nor assistants to this country, sup
planting American accountants.
Secretary Meyer has replied In a
letter to a member of the house that
these accountants did not have ac-
cess to records, processes or types OF
machinery that could be considered
in any way of a confidential nature"
Perley Morse, president OF the New
York accountants, has written to Mr..
Harrison that Secretary Meyer has
not stated all the facts. Mr.. Morse
added that Mr.. Meyer neglected to
say that these British accountants
have been installing cost systems In
American navy yards and that they
could not do this without access to
secret processes and methods OF man
ufacture.
Mr.. Harrison will call up his reso.
luton In a few days and 1t is ex'
pected to pass the house. The sen
ate will not need to act on it.

he could bring itlforth twelve months hence and
lind It as Balable as ever.
Later years, however, have witnessed a change
in keeping with the characteristic restlessness of
American life. In this lively twentieth century
our Valentine Day gift givers are demanding
something new and different with each successive
season and the purveyors of novelties are driven
to distraction in consequence. 1t is not meant 70
insinuate, of course, that there is not, as in the
past, a heavy trade in the fragile lace paper con-
fectlons and In the lurid comics that may now be
had as cheap as ten for a cent" The point Ia
that a considerable portion Of old st. Valentines
subjects expect him to provide distinctive tokens
for each year.
1t may be suspected that the advent Of the pic.
ture postcard was largely responsible for this era
Of constant variety in the realm Of st. Valentine
Day. Prior to the appearance of the illustrated
postcards all valentines had to be sent In enVe-
lopes and II any writing was placed on the token
(sucb as tiny telLtale initials hidden in one cor.
ner) 1t was necessary to pay letter postage. Con-
Bequently when the Valentine postcards made
their appearance soon after the introduction OF
the picture postcard idea 1t not only commended
itself to the young people who thirst for novelties
but also to many folk who found the new form
more convenient and whisper the secret) to
some economical individuals who discovered that
not only were the new style valentines cheaper
than the old-time pretty ones, but that Uncle Sam
carried them in the mails at Il lower rate. OF
course, 1t will be understood that the only people
who we're thus swayed by considerations of ex-
pense were those Of mature years who found II
more or less Of a chore to send valentines to all
the children Of their acquaintance. Naturally no
ardent swain would hesitate at expense In select
ing a February remembrance for "the only girl"
But the seed sowed by the introduction of the
postcard valentine grew rapidly and soon the
purveyors of valentines found that they must
