ence of his career. Hence his cry that
his life had been "ruined"-which may
have surprised the public. Hence his
genuine distress and emotion on the
witness stand. One cannot believe that
thief and hypocrite TO boot could
have shed Mr. Schwab's tears.
The emotion shown in public was
evidently a measure of the moral valu-
alton which Mr.. Schwab had come to
place on that particular asset of his.
1t was a spiritual revelation which
should not escape the attention of the
world, 1t revealed what Mr. Schwab,
with all his millions, really thinks of
money as compared with service hav
ing no dollar mark. Not service in his
own interest, but service for his friends,
his people, his country and what he
conceived to be the cause of civiiiza-
tion.

Whilst other sorts have more expanse

The following telegram to Mr.. Brush

THE CASE OF MR.. SCHwAB.
The Value of Service Compared With
the Value of Dollars.

The Value of Service Compared With
the Value of Dollars.
With the acknowledgement by the
Walsh committee that he is innocent
of the charge of defrauding the govern
ment out of 100000, Mr.. Schwab can
afford to smile the incident adown and
away. He had, however, a narrow es-
cape. Evidence no stronger than that
voucher would have politically ruined
any man in public life, however highly
placed. Had Secretary Daniels, or Sec
rotary Baker, or any administration
official, or a third cousin of the presi-
dent with White House connections, or
Secretary Tumulty, or senator of Ell
Their party through his brotherin-law
been implicated by documentary evi
dence of that character, the end of a
career would have<been reached.
It seems to be legitimate. political
warfare to besmirch a public man and
let him struggle in the bog without
the least help from an investigating
committee. But Mr.. Schwab was not
in politics, There was no partisan mo-
tive for taking his character away from
him. for he is Republican and the ma
iority of the committee are Republi-
cans; while he had served as director
general of the fleet corporation at 81
year salary at the personal request of
Democratic president, and the minority
of the committee are Democrats.
The committee has done the hand
some thing, even if it wouldn't have
done the same thing, probably, for GER
tain other men. Let us congratulate
the committee for banding back Mr..
Schwab's character It was incredible
that great steel magnate, worth at
least S50,000,0000 should have at
tempted to plumber the United States
treasury by charging up against it
100000 of the expenses of himself and
his staff while protesting to serve the
nation for nothing in an acute emer-
gency of war Mr.. Schwab's war profits
in his private business of manufactur-
ing munitions had been so tremendous
that he could not have felt the slight
est temptation to graft at the expense
of the American people And that is
locking at the case from a low view
point.
Yet Mr.. Schwab actually felt proud
of his service for the government in
speeding up ship construction, without
He made millions out OF

he valued most highly was the big job
