CONE TO InIN RuEEE IN JAIL

The conviction of that impu-
dent millionaire boodler, Louis
Kuehnle, who as "boss" of a
corrupt political ring had so long
defied the law and the courts OF
the wholeState of New Jersey, is
like The The overthrow t5v7 eerE tthre of Rueff of
California, another triumph OF
civic righteousness, and slgnlh-
cant portent of the new and bet
ter day that is everywhere dawn
ing upon the ring, cursed com
monwealths of this country.
The sending of this scamp, who
had grown rich from the spoils
of his wholesale rascalities, to the
vulgar penitentiary, there to
sweat for one year at hard labor
like any common thief, land pay a
fine of $1,000 besides, does great
honor to Judge Kalisch, who
against a tremendous pressure
was still courageous enough to
do his duty.
And now CONSERVATION reigns
among the whole colony of his
fellow boodlers! Why? Because
they fear they too may be forced
to disgorge a like pittance of
their big robberies? No, but at
the prospect of also wearing
their precious skins in the COM
mon Jail!
If our courts ii America, that
too often view with charity
wealthy criminality of larger
guilt, would cease their absurd
and unjust practice of Furnishing
the trivial offences of the poor
more severely than the graver
crimes of the rich and would
visit with the lash and the dun
geon but a half-dozen or so of the
really dangerous rogues = the
criminal rich who rob millions
there would be a greater clearing
of the moral atmosphere than if
ten thousand of the petty offend
ers were sent to Jail.
So it is, this final victory of
justice in New Jersey is the more
refreshing, since sheriff, juries,
prosecuting attorney and even
judges had repeatedly refused to
enforce the law against this rich
and powerful criminal politician!
But it is amazing to see scores
of the leading citizens of Atlantic
City and the county, bankers,
lawyers and doctors-nOt only
politicians and blacklegs, but
even clergymen, ,rallying warmly
10 the defence of this riCh h bood
ler and clamorously insisting
that he should not be sent to Jail.
Would one of all these have lifted
a finger had some poor mechanic
excusably gone little wrong?
1t furnishes an appalling illus
tration of the seemingly limitless
power Of huge money, that
rogue could right in the public
eye pursue a long career of sue
cessful villalny, and then when
by chance brought to book, find
apologists in such nun bers and
of such standing.
How true the words of the
great Dramatist:
Through tatter'd clothes small vices do
appear;
Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate
sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless
breaks;
Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw does
pierce it.

SENATOR MOSES E. CLAPP

Senator Moses r. Clapp is a
notable illustration of the "self-
made man., that special product
of this blessed land of Opportun-
ity, where the poor railroad sec
ton hand leaves his shovel and
walks into the office of the super
intendent or of the president;
where the unknown farmers lad
goes from his humble cabin to
command the armies of the Union
or fill the honored chair of the
Chief Magistracy; or where, as
in the case at bar, poor boy
cooking on river barge, climbs
the rungs of poverty's ladder to
occupy at last seat in the Sen
ate of the United States-an hon.
ored leader among those who are
shaping the destiny of a nation.
To Mr.. Clapp's everlasting
honor be it said, he has notin his
eminence and power forgotten the
plain people among whom he had
his origin, but has chosen to be
their advocate and champion
rather than the gilded hireIing of
the vast monied interests, whose
ignoble collars so many Of his
fellow senator's wear to their
eternal shame. Mr.. Clapp's dis
tinguished career is an inspira-
ton for every poor, friendless
lad in this land May he long be
spared to serve the people and
to enjoy his large and we'll won
honors.
