COUNCILMAN BURKE.

Had it been known that City Councilman William
Burke, of Philadelphia was an ex-yeggman, pick
pocket bank robber, and convict he would not have
been elected. He was nominated on reform ticket
and elected on a record of exceptional probity dur
ing the eight years his constituents had known him.
Since his election he has served the city we'll and
faithfully. Now, fear-driven' by biackmailing Jail
companions threats of exposure, he resigns and fees
the city.
Philadelphia is in quandary as to whether to let
him 60 or to refuse to accept his resignation. 1t is
indeed, pretty question. Does the city owe moth
ing to good public servant? Without quarrel
against him herself must she deny him the profit OF
his notable and successful effort to reform? Shall
she say that any with criminal past, no matter
how clear his present is unworthy to serve his city?
Sentimentasts at least will undoubtedly answer
promptly in the negative, and in this case they have
a good deal on their side of the argument. To help

TOO LATE.

Mayor Gaynor now admits that there is police
graft in New York and with his admission he makes
the statement positively and emphatcally, that the
grating has been going on for forty years.
When the Rosenthal case first attracted attention
the mayor just vigorously denied that grating
was practiced by the police. He declared that the
whole thing was newspaper imagination.
Gaynor is only human, just as are other mayors
and public officials, and ne probably failed to grasp
the significance of the Rosenthal murder as quickly
as did the newspapers, which must be always keeny
sensitive to the importance of the news of the day
But granting even that Gaynor was slow to compre-
hend all that the Rosenthal murder really meant
how much better it would have been had he prompt
ly fallen in line with the public opinion, which cry
stallized with remarkable rapidy and demanded that
every trail left by the murderers and their grating
hackers should be followed to the end. How much
bigger Rgure he would have been than he is made
by this delayed admission that grating does exist
among the police!

Sees Want and Suffering Ahead II
Bill Passes.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
The Times and other papers are ap-
plauding the action of the President in
vetoing the legislative bill on account
of the paragraph which limits the
tenure of clerks to seven years None
Of the papers has had a word to say
about the paragraph which was put in
at the request of the President which
turns out after years of faithful serv-
ice the poor old women who are called
skilled laborers and are now helping to
get publications into the mails. A
paragraph In the same bill transfers
all the work of distributing publicat tions
to the Government Printing Office on
the LIST of October. II this goes through
all the skilled laborers will be thrown
out of employment and many OF US
old women who have families to sup
port on small salaries will have moth
ing to do and must starve. We are do
ing good work in the Agricultural De-
partment, but We are told that the
President has recommended II and Con-
gress has put II in the bill. II the
clerks are to be taken care OF why
can't we be allowed to earn enough to
keep ourselves and families from starv-
ing? VIII Congress let us starve? Let
them cut it out before the bill Is re-
turned to the President.

MR.. WICKERsHAM ON ANTITRUST LAW.

Mr.. Wckersham, discussing the Roosevelt and
Taft records of enforcement of the Sherman act,
points out that there has been more and more i'm
portant activity under the later regime.
The Attorney General is right; quite right
Since the DEGREES in the Standard Oil and To-
bacco cases, trusts have positively to like to be
prosecuted.
It's about tine best thing that can happen for a
big combination.
1t gets immunity from further prosecution, judi
cia authorization to conduct a sort of competition
that illegal before the decree, and fat increase
in the value of its securities.
The consumer, who pays for these concessions to
the combines, will readily agree that the antitrust
activities under Taft have been more important, and
the combines will agree that they have been more
satisfactory.

SHOWING CONGRESS ITS PLACE.

President Taft is opposed to tariff legislation that
doesn't follow tariff-board reports, and vetoes it.
He is opposed to legislation in appropriation
measures, and vetoes them
He is opposed to legislation in opposition to a
court that has undertaken to repeal important laws
of Congress.
In short, President Taft has now made it clear
that he is opposed to legislation by the legislature.
He would divide the legislative power among the
Executive, the courts and the Executives personally
designated commissions
Congress ought to begin by this time to under
stand its proper place under the present regime.
The Washington times., 1912-08-19

a criminal who wants to reform is the boanden duty
Of society. AS Bernard Shaw says to shake mans
confidence in himself is devshly easy and devil
ish thing to do. When that self-confd,nce is as
hard earned as in Burkes case it is douby devilish
The chances are a thousand to one that at this
juncture Burke will slip back If he is not helped;
and that if he is helped he will live UP to and go
beyond the record an honest, useful citizen on
which he was elected to the council
good deal more than the mere question OF
Burke's rehabilitation hangs in the balance. His
has been given wide publicity, and its outcome
will be noted by countless men and women who are
trying to outlive and make others forget their past
Philadelphia has rare chance to demonstrate that
Once socey's enemy, always society's victim" is
a false proverb.

Mail Bag
The Reason Why.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
/ observe in the proceedings of the
Senate Thursday that the Record car
ries letter read at the clerks desk
from one Bowers, Fish Commissioner
who fnakes vain attempt to answer
the indictment which was put upon
him by Senator Hitchcock as being
guilty of killing seals to save the
profits Of the contractors. and not to
save this public property from ruin,
at the behest of said lessees.
That the Senate agreed with Senator
Hitchcock is evident by its vote of q
70 ls against Bowers. II any officials
like Bowers want to understand why
this proper punishment was given TO
that Fish Commissioner let them get a
copy of Hearing No. g. House Commit
tee on Expenditures in Department OF
Commerce and Labor. Second
Congress, first session, and open pages
l47-l62 inclusive. In those pages they
will find a full and ugly reason why
the said Bowers must walk the plank
soon.
Small wonder that the Senate turned
Bowers down after Senator Dillingham;
turned that document up to II.

AS wATTERsoN SEES THE GOLDEN WEST

Colonel Watterson is always interesting, anyhow.
He says that Roosevelt has fair show of carrying
more States than Taft" That, coming from Colonel
Waterson, indicates political astuteness, anyhow.
Then he proceeds:
"ln the rotten boroughs of the West-including
California-where the women and the cowboys DOM
inate Roosevelt just seems the winner"
Which indicates distinguished personal courage.
We leave to the women the cowboys, and the native
sons to decide Just what ought to be done about it.

ONE SHOVE WOULD DO 1T.

Naturally, Democratic Congressman who have
been in the minority for years find themselves ham,
pered by their past opposition when they get into
power. They must now face the back blast from
the hot-air talk about economy trusts, and other
ct ceteras out of which they have long sought to
make political capital.
1t is difficult to turn about under such circum-
stances. On the battleshp question it has taken
them five to get half way round And there
they stick.
1t is pity that Governor Wilson dares not put
his shoulder to the situation and help them around
the other half.

Surely Waiting Maketh the Heart

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The other day I saw in The Times a

and there fixed the value of my prop

said he had no Jurisdiction to allow IT,
Then l brought suit in the Court Of
Claims, but my suit was dismissed be-
cause Congress afterward passed a law
taking away the courts Jurisdiction OF

present my claim to Congress and every
committee that ever considered II made
a favorable report on II and at different
times flmes II hotS mas passed the Senate and
ferred 1t back to the Court OF Claims

through the House last February, but
