ImpartiallY Smeared.

One of the most striking things about
the confessions of Col Mulhall and the
supplementary confessions of Dr. Crock
EFT OF Maine is the beautifully non
partisan and bipartisan character of the
questionable political proceedings in
which they and their associates engaged.
The tar flew so quickly from their
sticks that no party escaped smear
ing. If the Democrats try to make CAPT
tai out of the Mulhall-Crockett activi-
ties in behalf of Littlefeld of Maine, the
Republicans can retort that the same
crowd and the same money were against
A. p. Gardner and w. s. Green, Repub-
lican congressman of Massachusetts,. The
organization of manufacturers which
Col. Mulhall worked, while pretending
to work for it, was equally against
Champ Clark and Victor Murdoch;
against Parsons, New York Republi-
can, and Wilson, Pennsylvania Demo
crat.
And down in Knox county, which DR..
Crockett apologetically says did not
used TO be really a part of the United
States, anyway, the doctor had his
hands in four dough bags" at once.

campaigns in Maine, the doctor tried to

campaigns in Maine, the doctor tried to
capture the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, and then double -crossed"
McGillicuddy and worked awhile for the
Republicans. Thus the party label and
the party principles mean nothing to
the mercenary in politics. No party
man can afford to forget the maxim
about glass houses when he feels dis
posed to throw stones. Even the Bull
Moose party had its eminently "practi-
cal men" last year, though probably
some of the idealists of the party could
not be convinced of it.
But the one pleasing and promising
thing about the Mulhall and Crockett
confessions, accepting them at their face
value, is that they relate in the main
to campaign of years ago, and that the
men who make the confessions say that
the old-time methods are unavoidable
now. There has been a great change in
the past few years helped along some
what by legislation but largely the re-
suit of an inevitable reaction against
the growing use of money in campaigns.
The political millennium is not yet here,
however. and too much money still is
spent, and has to be spent, in politics..
