ference. Divine Right" Baer he was dubbed and as such he will per- sist in the annals of these times.
 It was much the same with the oft-quoted remark attributed to Van derbilt, "The public be damned" It was an interview phrase wrenched out of it's context by a reporter seek ing a sensation. It tickled the ami mostly of the public and was accept ed. with more or less accuracy as the attitude of all railroads toward the publics.
 Dr. Osler is another who fell vic tim to repertorial recklessness. His little jest about mercifully killing all persons who passed the age of 60 was taken with dreadful seriousness by a public which failed to see the joke. Even to this day writers are seeking to refute the jocular asser- tion of the good doctor and many of them are quite bitter about it.
 
 France was once talked of as a monarchy tempered by epigrams. The United States with equal propriety could be called a democracy gOaded by nicknames. What reporter, in his inconspicuous striving to satisfy grumpy city editor, picks out as descriptive of a man, may make him a hero or a villain, irrespective of his claim to either classification.
 To the end of his life Baer denied the divine right" title, but he made no progress in his effort to convince the public that he did not deserve the opprobrium the designation i'm piled. It was a hopeless task that death brought to close.--Ex.

The terrible power of nickname was never shown in a more striking manner than in the life of George F. Baer, known from one end of the land to the other s,."Divine Right" Baer. A distorted version of a let ter, done by a not over scrupulous reporter, made him a by-word and hated by persons who had no other knowledge of him or no acquaintance with him.

FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1914.
GOOD BOY, cRossLEY!

Big Chief" Griffin of the Demo cratic wigwam of Panama telegraphs back from Washington that the at torney general has asked for the res ignation of District Attorney Cross ley-that he, however, delays nam ing MT. Crossley's successor until that resignat:on is offered-and the anti Crossleyites are jubilant. The six-year fight for the district attorneys scalp has ended, but it took change or administration to end it.
 As one who has been after the Crossley scalp for the longest time of them all, we take this occasion to express our admiration of the good fight the district attorney has put up against the forces which assailed him. He played the game through to the finish, and went down, fight ing. He fought a defensive hght, being all the time in the dark as to what was being said and done against him, and he lasted more than year after the change of administration. There has probably never been time since the new administration took office that it would not have been extremely glad to retire MT. Crossley, but dared not do it With out a good and reasonable excuse. The grand jury frameup made the excuse, and there they caught him. However, he fought a good fight.
 The people of remote section of country, more than in the more cen tral sections, work from precedent to precedent Innovations are fought from the start, the old way being considered the right way. Mir. Cross ley came from the central part of the United States, where he had grown up with the beliefs and con- ditions that time had taught his home section to be the proper mode of conduct for man and affairs, and he brought those ideas and beliefs here with him and started them working here, years ahead of their natural arrival. He was ahead of the times in moral and civil matters of liberty in this camp-no student of human affairs can blind himself to the fact the Crossley era is due to reach in but all of us wish to delay that time as long as we can, in the name of personal freedom. In fact, it is all together probable that most of us will live to see the time when mOr- al observances will be more strin- gent here than they ever threatened to be under MT. Crossley, and when that time comes the men who are strongest against MT. Crossley will regret that he is not here-that a more radical district attorney has succeeded him. Nobody now believes district attorney than MT. Crossley has been, but the News-Miner al ways antiCrossley, can easily under stand that there CAN and WILL be. MT. Crossley may, in good faith, to- day hum the closing lines of that old verse:
 "In such time,
 Then you'll remember me- , ''The King is dead-long live the King." What is coming to us, in place of the dethroned king of pros ecutors is a question, but those who play the game know full we'll that in cutting the political deck for the priv ilege of dealing, we are just as apt to cut "two-spot" as we are a king.
 May the god of chance save the Fourth division from drawing a leg al -spot-Fairbank News-Miner.
 But sometimes we guess wrong. Crossley is to stay.' at least for the

DIVERSE VIEWS GIVEN
ON TAXATION QUESTION
Local Speakers Discuss Prouty
Amendment at Meeting of
Economic Club.

Widely divergent views on taxation in
the District were presented by Herbert J.
Browne, Thomas E. Will, Julian Pierce
and other speakers at meeting of the
Study Club in Economics at the Public
Library last night. The Prouty amend
ment to the George taxation bill was the
subject under discussion.
Mr.. Browne prefaced his remarks by
declaring that the members of the House
District committee are all above suspi-
cion as to their motives. but added, how
ever. that nothing is more greatly needed
in the United States than a real investi-
cation of the facts concerning taxation.
II am honestly opposed to the half-and-
half plan of providing money for the up
keep of the District" said Mr.. Browne.
1T has been used to blind the citizens of
the District to the fact that only few
people are getting the benefits. Ground
values in Washington, and consequently
rents are higher in the District than in
any other city in this country of the same
size
