SENATOR BORAH'S ACCUSE.
TION

Not long ago Federal Judge Emory
Speer OF Georgia, in public speech,
charged the department of justice
with carrying on system. of spy
work on judges, with a view of in
huencing their decisions in favor OF
the department
In consequence of SO direct a
charge by SO reputable a judge as
Emory Speer, Attorney General Nc
Reynolds. our old friend of the Diggs-
Caminetti and Western Fuel cases,
was called on by the senate to answer
where his department was invcstigat-
ing judges.
McReynolds report in this instance
was attacked by Senator's Borah,
Norris and Works, the latter saying
that the report was evasive and un-
satisfactory; but Borah, in answer to
McReynolds' assertion that the charge
against his department. was entirely
without Foundations" declared: Il
make the statement that within the
last four or FIVE years special agents
have, carried on such Investigations
with a view to influence judges"
If this assertion were made by some
senators it might be considered mag
NATIVE, but coming from Senator
Borah it is too serious TO be over
looked by President Wilson, whose
appointee is the head OF the depart
ment charged with what is worse than
ordinary crime
Tampering with justice in all ages
has reused men almost to revolution.
1t can not be tolerated now Either
the heat has affected Senator Borah
or he must, at any rate, believe he is
right, or he could not bring himself to
make charge which saps the foun-
tainhead of justice.
1t is true, as Senator Borah says,
that the judges are practically under
the control of the department as far
as promotion and demotion are con-
cerned. More than that, they are
really dependent on the department
in many ways unknown to the public,
as in the matters of administration OF
their Office, its clerks, baiIiffs, mar
shals, expenses and other admins
trative affairs.
The people will agree with Senator
Borah that If we are going to have
a judiciary subject to secret influences,
| am in favor of popular election and
recall of judges"
Congress, on the strength OF SEN
ator Borah's charges, should make a
complete and thorough investigation
of the department of justice and its
secret workings, and, in addition to
Senator Borah's inquiry. should find
out if any form of 1ettre de cachet,
like those under which men were
thrown into the French bastiIe. are in
any way employed today

Stuhl, a medalist of Berlin and Munich

Mrs. Schweitzer also gave the museum
an English silver tray of the eighteenth
century, and a Chinese teakwood tab
aret elaborately carved.

NEW REVENUE CUTTER l
NEEDED

When the United States govern
ment IS so poor that it has no avail
able vessel powerful enough to over
take a Chinese or japanese junk and
prevent il from landing its huInan
cargo is it not about time to adver-
fise that this coast is clear and offers
an inviting field for smugglerss
Last week the third junk that has
crossed the Pacific in the last two
weeks arrived here near Point Arena
and at present writing has presumably
landed load of immigrants who may
escape detention because Of the lack OF
a revenue cutter to intercept them
The federal authorities seem to
have taken it for granted that no one
could land on the Pacific coast from
San Diego and Puget sound without
entering a port of entry and clearing
at a custom house.
The successful landing of three
iuriks in the last two weeks IS
pretty sure indication that the ORR
entails. having found that their junks
can safely cross the Pacific and land
on this shore, will soon be pouring in
in multitudes, unless the government
provides more than one cutter to
patrol our whole coast line.
A good, stout sea going tug could
do the work without involving enor-
nous expense. If the government can
do no better and can build no boats
of its own, then the customs and the
immigration service should be au-
thorized in case of emergency, such
as existed last week, to hire tugs
whenever necessary to 60 after the
smugglers and prevent them from
landing.
On the Atlantic and gulf coasts
there are 81 vessels of all classes in
the revenue cutter service. On this
coast there are only 10. OF these
there. are six on Puget sound and in
Alaska and four for the whole coast
of California. only one of which, the
McCulloct,. is ocean going, on the
stations between San Diego and the
Columbia river
This state of affairs is disgraceful
TO the nation, which allows practi-
cally as many cutters to Maine and
Massachusetts, as it does to this state,
with a coast line on which that of
New England would be almost lost
California's congressional delegation
should get busy at the next regular
session of congress.

NEW YoRK's NEXT MAYOR

The mayoralty of New York in real
Importance ranks with the very high
est offices in the nation, and yet that
great city-the greatest in the world
in many respects-as rule has been
unfortunate in its choice of chief
magistrates.
The progress of the next election
will be watched with much interest
throughout the nation owing to the
character of the nominee of the anti
.Tammany fusionists and the platform
upon which he stands.
There were three candidates before
the fusion committee, whose members
included republicans, progressives,
independence leaguers and anti Tam
many democrats. All three were good
men District Attorney Whitman,
who prosecuted Lieutenant Becker
and IS still exposing the police graft
was the republican candidate George
AIcAneny, president of the borough
OF Manhattan. who has attracted the
attention of the country to himself
for his energetic efficiency, was the
candidate of the anti-T Tammany demo-
Gratis, and John Punay Mitchell, a
brilliant young lawyer, "a years of
age, who was elected president of the
board of aldermen on the anti
Gaynor ticket, and is at present Presi-
dent Wilson's appointee as collector
of customs, was candidate of his
own motion Mr. Mitchell. was nomi-
mated and will be supported by Mr.
Whitman, who goes on the fusion
ticket for his present place. and by
Mr. McAneny, who becomes the NOM
inee for president OF the board of
aldermen, the place now held by Mr..
Mitchell
During Mayor Gaynor's recovery
from the attempt TO assassinate him,
AR Mitchell acted as mayor, and will
reach the Office better equipped to fill
it than most Of his predecessors
Mitchell is unquestionably honest,
unaEterably anti Tammany, under
stands New Yorks exceedingly COM
plex finances better than any other
man, IS splendid campaigner, hard
hitter and fighter and is brilliant to
d degree
His opponent probably will be the
incumbent, Mayor Gaynor, one OF the
strangest mixtures Of puritanical rig
idity and of complete laxty Of thought
that ever got into public life-a blend
of oddities and eccentricities with
some sound ideas His appeal cer-
tainly will be the disingenuous one to
sentiment, not the baby act exactly,
but a see-how-nearly-I- died-in-your
service-will-you -re-elect-
me appeal, which will doubtless give
him many thoughtless and emotional
votes: but with Tammany and the
system" behind him. with the streets
of New York full of murderous and
numbering gun lighters, he can hardly
reach election.

candidates, the nature OF the platform
