Name the Liars
O'rom tho Washington Post.)

he may have found some who did not
tell the truth.
The President ought to know that
his statement revealing how he says
he found out what was going on in
Mexico has aroused the resentment Of
men in public life who believe they
hew to the straight line Of truth and
justice quite as closely as does the
President. It is not beyond the
bounds of accuracy to say that the
unfortunate words of the executive
have stung men who have held up his
hands and given him support in all
the trying problems that have con-
fronted him.
This speech before the Board Of
Trade Of moving picture men prom
ises to demand as much explanation
as the too proud to fight utterance
in Philadelphia a few months ago.
in view of the Presidents bluntly
spoken condemnation of those from
whom he sought information for his
guidance, it must be recalled that
the array OF names is a distinguished
one. but there is no means by which
the sheep can be separated from the
while he digested the facts brought
back to him from Mexico. This can
only be done by the President, and it
is to be hoped that in the precise
manner of dealing with great public
questions that has characterized his
administration he will yet find it con-
venient to make public these members
of the first officially promulgated
Ananias Club Of the present admins
tration.
II would seem therefore that in the
fervor of his address the President has
used language that is too susceptible
OF distortion and which may cause
the finger OF scorn to be pointed at
several honorable gentlemen Of whom
apparently he could not have been
thinking II is possible that already
the injurious effect of deliberately
spoken but ill-chosen words has been
realized. and before the President re-
turns from his sYing through the
West he may make clear to the people
OF the country who the liars are whom
he denounced in such general but en-
phatic terms.

Mr.. Brandeis's Appointment
Iron the New York Trlbune.)

President Wilson took the country
by surprise when he nominated Louis
ID. Brandeis to be an Associate JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court. The gen
eral expectation in Washington was
that he would fiji the place made
vacant by Justice Lamar's death with
an appOintee from the South. The
Fifth Circuit. which includes the
Presidents native State-Virginia-
West Virginia. Maryland, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina, has not been
represented on the Supreme Court
bench since Chief Justice Taneys
death. in 1864 Mr.. Wilson has been
very punctilious in recognizing the
Souths claims TO recognition in the
distribution of high Offices. Yet in
this case he has turned away from
the South and given a iusticeship to
New England. which has one now and
had two justiceships not very long
ago.
Mr.. Brandeis's appointment would
have been much more logical If it had
come at the beginning of Mr. VIII
sons term. He, too, was one of the
celebrants Of the Era Of the New
Freedom, now fading into the histori-
cal background. He breathed the at
mosphore in which the administration
lived and moved in 1913. and his ap-
pointment to a cabinet post was free
ly talked Of Much water has run
under the bridge since then, and
through the stress of circumstances
the administrations thoughts have
been turned from lines of destruction
to lines of construction.
Mr.. Brandes's chief service under
this administration was that Of spe-
cial counsel to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. In that capacity

MAYOR THOMPsON,s APPRECIATION.

CEvERAL days ago had occasion to acknowledge
~ the receipt of letter from Secretary Of the Inter-
ior Franklin K Lane expressing his appreciation Of
our editorial attitude with respect to his official work
We now in receipt of a letter OF appreciation from
William Hale Thompson, reform Mayor OF Chicago.
who is being mentioned Presidential possibility.
His letter is follows.
Mayors once Chicago Jan. 27. 1916.
To the Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL
Wilmington Delaware
Dear Sir. My attention has been called TO ed-
toral published in THE JOURNAL under date of De-
SSmser $ 2'd with tho heading Mayor rhompsons Good
I greatly appreciate and thank you for your words
Of commendation. No executive can accomplish much
in civic reform without the aid and support OF the pub
lc press and it is gratifying to TO learn that
effort to stamp out crime in Chicago and do construc
tive work for city has such splendid endorsement
VIM M HALE HALE THOMPSON.
Mayor Thompson was placed in the responsible oaice
which he now holds by a political revolution. That
revolution resulted from the fact that the decent law
loving and lawabiding elements in the population OF
the second largest city in the United States we're tired
of city government which turned listening TO
the indecent lawhating and lawdefyng elements, and
q deaf to the decent, law-ovng and law-abding
elements.
In that revolution Mr. Thompson stood for the prn-
cipie that the good end the bad, in a community
should rule it that the revenue raised should be
spent in constructive work for the whole people and
not for the enrichment OF partisan parasites who ala
ways cluster about the treasures Of nations States
counties and cities in which the bad elements domi
nant the election that followed that civic revolu
ton the principle for which Mr. Thompson stood be-
came thing triumphant and the good people Of Chi
cago into their own.
From the hour Of his inauguration to the present
time Mayor Thompson has been upholdng that prin-
cipie greatly the discontinue OF the lawless ele
ments that had had a free hand long they
could not reconcile themselves to the operations of
great municipal corrective. He has met argument
with argument litigation with litigation, defiance with
force improper overture with scorn inefhciency with
efficiency, dishonesty with honesty and indecency with
decency He has done what he could to make the gov
ernment OF Chicago sef-respectng and respected He
has not done everything he wishes to do. Every re-
former legal and time restrictions in deal
ing with enemies Of decent society who have had years
in which TO entrenoh themselves against assault He.

the good people Of the United States should stand
at his back and strengthen his IN the fight

feeling th:t prompted us. more than month ago. 10

he was credited with spurring the
commission on in its narrow minded
crusade of starvation against the rail-
roads. That crusade eliminated in
the fantastic Eastern rate decision Of
August 1, 1914, which, in effect, as
sumed that the great world war con-
vulsion could have no economic ef-
fects in this country. Public opin-
ion soon compelled a reversal OF that
decision. The administration parted
company with the stand-patters on
the commission and Mr.. Brandeis
also had the discretion to sheer away
from them TO some extent.
Now the country is beginning to
see that national preparedness re-
quires concerted effOrt-that the
maintenance Of a high state of rail-
road efficiency is as much a national
concern as is the training and arm
ing Of men for first line defence. In
stead of consumers and shippers fight
ing the railroads and destroying their
credit and impoverishing their oper-
alton, shippers, consumers and rail-
roads must stand OF fall together. We
must have cooperation instead of
economic civil war.
The country has begun to realize
this truth. The administration has
begun to realize IL. This is a day
in Washington for searching of hearts
and for changing Of minds Maybe Mr..
Brandois has commended himself to
Mr.. Wilson by showing that he, too,
can change his mind. The country
hopes so. II would be a misfortune
if he carried to the Supreme bench
the narrow, mistaken attitude toward
the vital industry Of transportation
which he took when he was serving
as adviser to the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

WHY "ANURIC"
IS AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH /!
euFfYs Rsrksn md

vAnuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar, besides being absolutely
harmless and is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration OF the blood vessels, az
well as regulating blood pressure.
cAnuric" is a regular insurance and
life-saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
