NOTHING ON BECKER

Police Commissioner Waldo, asked II
he had suspended Police Lieutenant
Rocker. said he had nothing on Beck
err" How much does Mr.. Waldo need
10 have on Becker? The lieutenant has
been accused of being in partnership
with n gambler. Mr.. Waldo treats
that accusation lightly. But some one
who doubtless knew the truth. took II
so seriously that the aCcuSer was
killed 10 stop his mouth before he
could produce the proof of his charges.
or perhaps make still more damaging
accusations
The man who hired the automobile
which contained the siayers Of the &C
cllser was q friend of Becker's. lie
was mentioned by ROseuthal rs repre-
senting the police lieutenant IN the al
legged partnership in the gambling eS-
Establishment. and Ire was certainly
busy q few hours before the murder
collecting evidence for Becker TO use
i'm an attack on ROsenthals character
An extremely seryiceable friend is he
who hobs up from hiding, summoned
by no one knows whom, and cheer
fully submits TO arrest, being willing
apparently even to thrust his head into
the moose to Oblige some one. The de
vOtiOn is impressive. How does II
come about that lieutenant Of police
charged with the duty Of suppressing
gambling has so loyal friend in the
ranks Of the professional gamblers
Yet there is nothing on Becker" moth
ing that strikes his superior as calling
for his suspension.
Is the Police Department trying to
get anything on Becker: Are bis
movements watched as the movements
Of any other person not policeman
who had motive for crime would
be: Reports have 1t that the lieuten-
ant was away from home all Wednes.
day night and there has been much
speculation as to where he was ana
whom he visited. Does the Police
Department know? How far is this
theory that there is nothing on Becker
carried? Is he not only not suspended
but free from surveillance? Does no
suspicion whatsoever attach TO him In
the mind of Commissioner Waldo?
There Is no proof at present that
Lieutenant Becker or any one else In
the Police Department was In any
way responsible for the crime, and no
one accuses him or any other police
man. But in the public mind there IS
good deal on him and on the police.
There are relations between criminals
and those hired TO prevent crime so
close and so scandalOus that II was
worth some ones while to kill q man
to keep them from being fully dis
closed. The policeman charged with
the suppression Of gambling is shown
to be the friend and consort Of gam
blers. A gang TO kill man In the
boldest and most open manner may be
recruited &" this city at a moments
notice. A rider may occur In Broad
way with seven policemen on or near
the spot. and the murderers may ride
away without d single policeman's
drawing his pistol or making an eff
fective attempt either to arrest the
slayers or find out who they are or
adopt any means Of subsequently iden-
tifying them. There is good deal on
the police. If Mr.. Waldo persists in
keeping his eyes closed there will be
good deal more on them.

TAKEN TO COURT.

The trick by which Roosevelt candi-
dates for elector in various states are
irving 10 Get their names under the
Republican emblem on the official ballot
will soon be passed upon in the Kansas
courts. 4 test case has been brought
by the Republican National Committee
man from Kansas i'm the 2d Congress
District Of that state. and its settle
ment will throw some light on the
legal remedies available 10 prevent elcc-
toral candidates hostile 10 Taft and
Sherman from maSquerading as trusted
agents Of the Republican party.
80 nominations for electors have
been made so far in Kansas. and in
that respect the situation there is diff
ferent from that In Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia ana Ne
braska, where candidates were named
before the Republican National Con
ycntion met. The Kansas law requires
candidates for clector TO be chosen at
the general primary election In August
at which nominations for state Offices
are made. Ordinarily the state con
ventiOn TO choose national convention
delegates recommends two electoral
nominees and each Congress district
convention recommends one, and those
selections are formally approved later
by the voters Of the state and of the
separate districts Inasmuch as nine
out Of the ten candidates designated
last May are disposed To support ROosc-
welt rather than Taft the real Repub-
licans I'm Kansas have had 10 put In
the field by petition nine additional
electoral candidates definitely pledged
to Taft
1t was the idea Of the Roosevelt
managers that they could carry the
August primary and thus appropriate
the Republican label for the anti-Taft
candidates. But injunction proceed
ings have now been brought TO restrain
the county clerks in the ID Kansas Dis
trict from certifying as n Republican
candidate iii the primary In that dis
trict the aspirant designated last May,
on the ground that he has publicly de-
clared that he will not support the
nominee Of the Republican National
Convention
If the Kansas courts intervene TO
protect the Republican party's official
trademark the way will be opened for
Kidding the electoral tickets In other
states Of pretenders and dOnbledealers
misusing the machinery Of party the
decisions of whose highest governing
body they refuse 10 accept. IL has
seemed a little difficult to get at these
trickSters under the state laws, since
no election law in existence ever con-
templated the possibility of an electors
seeking office as n Republican or Il
Democrat without being entirely will
ing to support the Republican or the
Democratic Presidential nominee. In
equity there is no excuse whatsoever
for the attempt to foist antl-Repuhlcan
candidates for electOr on the Repub-
lican voters. It may be that under the
strict letter of the law there Is also no
warrant for so manifest a deception.
The Kansas decision ought TO help
greatly to clear up a situation aggra-
waited by the dishonorable refusal OF
the Roosevelt seceders to take them
selves definitely out Of the party and
then stay out
