THE MULHALL SCANDAL

In each issue the New York World
IS publishing an installment OF the
Mulhall confessions. They are not
pleasant reading for the American
1people, who are given a peep behind
the scenes of practical politics. There
are kilograms and letters and ex-
plantations Of them given by Mulhall
that make a case against a lot of
men heretofore of fair regulations.
The Nulhall revelations came in
the nick of time to support the
presidents contention that there is
IAN insidious lobby" at work in
Washington. Mr.. Wilson frankly
admits that he shot in the dark and
he must be quite as amazed as any
one at the game he brought down.
Not that the NTulhall charges reveal
anything unknown or unsupported.
Many kinds of manufacturers and
business men and labor men and
even farmers have been doing this
sort of thing in Washington for
years.
Every great piece of legislation
proposed calls to the national CAPT
tai representatives of the interests
affected, while some Of them, like
the manufacturers, have established

ESPIONAGE OF JUDGES.

The recent order Of Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds to continue the
white slave and Western Fuel cases
in San Francisco and the action OF
the Iowa Bar Association in en-
dorsing Judge Speer's denunciation
OF government espionage of judges
and courts has served to call atten-
ton toward the dangerous move
ment toward government surveillance
and supervision OF court proceedings
and processes.
The government is generally in
the same position before the court
in a legal action to which it is 4
party as any other litigant and should
not be permitted to intimidate the
courts or judges. The practice of
directing the prosecuting, continu-
ance or dismissal of actions from
Washington over the head and
Weekly journal-miner. [volume] (Prescott, Ariz.) 1908-1929, 1913-07-09

against the advice of the United
States attorney who resides in the
State and is familiar with the cir
cumstances of the case, is danger
Gus one also.
Judge Speer's criticism OF the OBJ
trusive functionary whose presence
and doings in the courtroom ought
to have subjected him to punishment
for contempt of court is we'll
bestowed. Evidently an effort was
made to create the impression that
the Judge was under suspicion and
that the attorneys and attaches did
not know their business. But
whether or not it was intended to
degrade or descredit Judge Speer,
the spying on the proceedings could
only have that result.
The circumstances, as stated by
Judge Speer, are admitted, and the
explanation is made by the govern
ment agent in question that he is
conducting the periodical inspection
of the United States court" As this
is the first inspection reported, it
is gathered that the new work is
to be prosecuted as regular thing
as to all Federal courts.
Has system of espionage been
sent on foot that will present to the
people the edifying spectacle of
criminals on trial before a Judge who
is himself undergoing trial or exam
ination at the same time? Is his
conduct of the case being weighed
by court within the court, with the
secondary judge performing his as
signed task of taking note of every
thing that might go to form a basis
for impeachment charges?
Besides the personal view, the
practice of holding the rod over
judges tends to impair confidence
in that integrity of the courts to
which they are justly entitled" as
the Iowa Bar Association mildly |
states the case, "the respect in which |
they are held by the people; and it
should receive the stamp of unquali-
led condemnation by the bar of this !

THE HOUSE AND THE BUDGET

The house Democratic caucu:
| spurned the pleadings of its mos
reputable leaders, when it rejected
the budget system. This, the most
needed advance in administrative
methods, was too much for the log
rolling politicians. We must not,
however, overlook their position
while we may condemn their mar
rowness.
The common or garden variety Of
congressman is quite insignificant, as
things now are. But put the power
of the governments purse in a few
conservative hands, and where would
he be? Positively at the vanishing
point. No more useless appropria-
tons for my deestrict," no more
public buildings of exaggerated type,
no more maintaining of mudhole
navy yards which never can enter
tain a battleship! Can one imagine
such an American congress?
1t makes no difference to the
average Congressman that twenty ex-
perienced and careful men would
handle the purse better, that more
would be obtained for the money ex-
perienced and careful men would
handle the purse better, that more
would be obtained for the money ex-
pended, and that less would be ex-
pended. The budget system would
put two ciphers in front of the name
OF the average congressman. Hence.
no budget system.
1t seems easy to excite the lower
house about some things. We are
told by Secretary OF State Bryan
that it put in twenty years fighting
to change the method OF electing
United States senators. If it had put
in half Of that time fighting the OBJ
vious defects in its way of doing
business, it might have accomplished .
more for the country. If, for in /
stance, it had adopted the budget
system and given the president pow
er to veto separate items in the ap-
preparation bills, the country would
nave beer more than a billion dollars
lhead on the expenses of the govern
nent for the past twenty years.

STRUCK BY BOLT
OF LIGHTNING
AND KILLED
Miner Formerly of This
Section Meets Death
In the South.
(From Tuesdays Daily

According to telegram received
yesterday from Florence, the body
of Phillip D. Boyd was found three
days ago in the Superstition range
of mountains by two travellers, and
the belief prevails that the man was
killed by lightning.
An examination made of the BODY
showed that the bolt struck him on
the chin, passed downward into the
breast and found an exit on the
right leg, tearing off the right shoe,
which was found lying several fe..
distant. The shoe on the left foot
was found undisturbed.
That Boyd had friends in Pres
colt was indicated by several letters
found in his pockets, as we'll were
there letters from Chloride, Mo-
have county, and other places in
Arizona. A small amount of money
was also found on his body, includ-
ing safety razor, a looking glass,
and other personal trinkets.
1t was learned yesterday that a
miner by the name of Boyd left this
section about one year ago, and had
worked at several camps in this
vicinity, the last one at Jerome. The
next place heard of him was at
Miami.
