Anent the CdrnOdu Matter

Considerable interest will undoubtedly be aroused
by the inquiry instituted yesterday by Thomas Poole
in his letter to State Auditor %Jorgenson regarding the
legality OF the appointment of Judge Car4nody to the
Office of assistant attorney general. The law says
explicitly that no person having been a member Of
the board of control shall hold a lucrative Office in
the state within one year from the expiration of said
term on the board. There is evidence that Mr.. Car
mody knew of this provision when he accepted the
position, and it will be interesting to note how he
will square his action with his knowledge of the stu
alton. However, there may BE some way out of the
dilemma, and his friends will undoubtedly hope there
is. In. the meantime the proposition resolves itself
into a unique situation. Auditor Jorgenson intends to
ask the attorney general to pass upon his own ap-
pointment, and should he pass the buck to his
assistant, Mr.. Carmody, the Judge may find the way
and there you are.

never was a more genuine, cordial, brotherly ascot
alton of men gathered together. If there ars:es' any
enmities, distrusts, bitterness, in competition, they

The whistle is caused by an air cur

Revise "PdntS" Downward

Those who can look beneath the surface, read be-
tween the lines and see the inherent connection De
tween pants and politics. have not escaped the
strong presumption that ex-President Taft has detn-
itely retired from political life. For did not the press
dispatches the other day bring hot foot" to a waiting
world Of readers the news that the genial professor
had sent thirty five pairs Of trousers to his tailor to
be reduced in girth? Nor let the superficial reader
be deceived as to what is the real connection and
significance in this matter. The paramount issue is
not the fact that the Taft trousers have to be reduced,
revised downward or sidewise, recut or remodeled
but the fact that there are %thirty-fve pairs of them.
1t is only one of the vicissitudes of life that trous-
es have to be shortened, heightened, made bigger
or smaller. That is liable to happen to any man
and, If the feminist movement goes far enough, it is
liable to happen to many women before Mrs. Pank-
hurst's granddaughter is old enough to vote. But in
these days of misunderstanding, when every man
looks upon his prosperous neighbor with suspicion, il
not envy, what hope is there for political advance.
ment for a man who confesses that he has thirty five
pairs of trousers? The mere admission is tantamount
to a confessional not Of guilt, at least of having
arrived at that state of philosophic resignation where
the prizes of the political arena have ceased to allure.
Nothing short Of a suicidal obsession would induce
any level-headel and clearminded politician In this
day to try to come back" with thirty five pairs Of
pants" bound like a milestone around his neck. or
COURSE levelheaded and clear.minded politicians do
not have suicidal obsessions, nor do they perform the
literal and physical feat OF binding an assortment of
trousers. about their necks. Some latitude must be
allowed the logician who seeks to delvc beneath the
surface into the secrets Of an ex-tresiddents ward
robe.
Possibly the details We're made public in a spirit
of malevolence, for the purpose OF injuring Mr.. Taft's
chances of being nominated to the supreme justice
ship. If the big ex-President has any ambitions IN
this direction lie will either have to let his wardrobe
run down, put some patches on his pants or keep,
