On our last day in Brewster, and
as a parting favor, I asked Starbuck
how I should proceed in regard to
quashing the indictment against Bull

a shrewd look out of the cool gray
eyes, with a gentle uplifting of the
shaggy brows. If you r determined
to let Bullerton so, all you have to do

SALUTARY

Not to prolong discussion of single incident,
it seems proper to say that the action of the chief
OF police in causing the arrest of the auto driver who
wrecked a street car a week ago, and Of the police
magistrate in inficting a penalty which is likely
to be noted with interest both by the offender in
that particular case and by others who have a tend
ency to be reckless, has received from the local pub
lie what appears to be a unanimous verdict of ap-
proval.
Heroic measures are sometimes necessary to
achieve a desired object, and the streets of the city
must be made safe for orderly people, no matter
at what cost. If, in order to attain this security,
it is necessary to go the limit, the officials must be
prepared to do it, and the public to stand by them.

"A FAILURE" THAT WAS A SUCCESS.

The other day the federal weather bureau
learned OF a great storm movement marked by
heavy precipitation which should reach New York
at about a given time. In addition to the usual
warnings. the New York city government was mott
fed that it might expect unusually heavy snow, and
that it would be we'll for it to be prepared, Accord

m motion, and the street department was organized
to cope with a big blizzard.
The time arrived, and not a flake of snow fell.
Instead, the streets were flooded with heavy rain.
The snow plows, shovcls, and all the other para
,Phernalia which had been got in readiness were not
needed, and there was one huge laugh at the ex-
pense OF the weather bureau.
The failure attributed to the bureau was really
a success The observations made had been acct

element OF uncertainty in the case was as to tenn

was near the freezing point, but just a little above.

heavy rain instead of heavy snow 1t made a vast
difference IN traffic and street cleaning operations.
but the variation in weather conditions was no
greater than that which may be anticipated at any
time. The warning was based on correct data. and
was properly given, and the street department took
the wise course of preparing for the snow which,
when It tell, came down in the form of rain.

GOLDSTEIN HAS
PRESIDENTS o. X.

A letter to Nat, Goldstein, the st.
Louis political CRATER, from President
Harding, o. ks the formers actions
in handling the Lowden Campaign
funds,1 and apparently every other
shady transaction in which that gen.
tleman has been engaged in the past
several years. With such letter,
from the President of these United
States, which Goldstein is proudly
showing to his friends and henchmen,
he should be able to acquire several
additional "gold bricks, and at the
same time create strong demand
for their possession among those who
are seeking "easy money"
Goldstein long since received
strong testimonial from Governor
Hyde, who fully appreciates the value
of such publicity. With these two
testimonials, as to his ability to
handle without fear campaign funds
in any quantity-the larger, of course,
the less painless-from the State and
National chief executive, "Nat" should
soon be on easy" street, at least re-
moved from arduous physical exer-
ton. Read the following letter and
see for yourself just what kind of a
philanthropist Goldstein really is, ac-
cording to President Harding:
My Dear Mr.. Goldstein: / have
been intending for some days to make
an acknowledgment of the very gra-
cious and considerable letter which you
addressed to me under date of May 10.
You very promptly recognized a
difficult political situation. for which
neither of us is responsible, and you
took yourself out of it in a very
prompt and considerate way. / should
like you to know of my understand
ing of your feelings and my appre-
citation of your thoughtfulness in help
ing to solve it, though you were fully
conscious of the undeserving charac-
ter of the attack which your nomina-
ton brought out. can assure you
that Senator Spencer has said only
the most pleasing things concerning
you, else ! should not have so readily
! approved of your nomination.
With very best regards, l am, very
sincerely, -
n WARREN G. HARDING.

The people of Missouri would do
well to bear in mind that it was Sena-
tor Spencer, whose double hand-shake
and half-Nelson embrace with two
pats on the left shoulder have become
familiar to them, who asked the Pres
ident to appoint Goldstein. This re-
calls the fact that another of the
Lowden money-holders is in high
public office, rafting freely in the
large shoes of the late Champ Clark,
Theodore W. Hukreide, who has these
two claims of fame, that he handled
$500 of the Lowden Doodle and sue
ceeded the great Missourian in Con-
gress, though running about eight
thousand votes behind his ticket. I'm
less the Missouri Democrats play into
the enemy's hands by losing their
heads over the Reed-Long contest,
Hukreide and about a dozen other Re
publican Congressman from the State
are due for an eclipse.

RICH BACHELOR WANTS WIFE

"Many people have blamed me for
not getting married. Since childhood
have suffered from stomach and liv-
er trouble, never being able to get any
medicine or doctor to help me. Now

and mean desire to belittle and de-
grade a great American institution
which might be temporarily interfer-
ing with his purposes. AS an argu-
ment his statement sounds more like
the emissions of an inmate of stop
house" than the considered utterance
of the chairman of the finance COM
mite of the Senate.
Unfortunately for the newspapers
of his own state, it will be assumed
that his knowledge of the conduct of
newspapers is derived from them,
with which he might be expected to
have the closest acquaintance. When
he comes up for reelection if the
North Dakota press recalls utterances
on this point and questions his abil-
ity to represent the state when he
INDUCES in such maunderings, he
probably will make similar charges.
But then, instead of attributing the
policy to department stores, he will
attribute it to the crooked influence
of his political rivals.
The PrOfiteers' Tariff
Here are the latest utterances of
leading Republican and Independent
papers on the Fordney-McCumber
tarig bill:
New York Herald (Rep. 1T is
about a year since Congress passed
the emergency tariff act to protect
the American farmer from being UNI
dersold in his own home market by
flood of agricultural products from
across the northern border. The re-
suits are roughly covered in the trade
between the Dominion and the United
States for the twelve months to April
last. They show that while the
emergency tariff has been in effect we
have lost nearly 100,000,000 more in
sales to Canada than Canada has lost
in sales to us. And to that the eX-
listing emergency tariff is gentle tap
compared with the blow the Fordney
and McCumber schedules could give
to our whole foreign trade.
Indianapolis News lind. For the
policy to which it is sought to COM
nit the Republican party-the policy
of price-raising-is very dangerous,
and especially SO in a year in which
congressional election is to be held.
The question presented is difficult
whether to go through with bad bus
mess, or to Withdraw from IL. The
mistake was in turning the fortunes
of the party over to Fordney, and
men Of his school. Probably not in
the history of the country has there
been worse tariff bill than that re-
ported by Senator McCumber, unless
it be the one prepared by Mr.. Ford
ney's committee, and passed by the
House Of Representatives.
Brooklyn Eagle lind. IF the Re-
publican leaders of Congress cannot
see what is visible to Republican
newspapers of distinction all over
this country they are in sorry plight.
Those newspapers protest against the
tariff bill not because they wish to
make trouble for the Republican par
ty, but because they know that per-
sistence in folly by the party itself

will inevitably lead to disaser at the
polls.
Chicago Tribune (Rep. )-Aibsolute-
ly no appreciation of change in in
ternational trade relations brought on
by the war was displayed. The tariff
makers, led by Fordney and McCum-
Der, had learned nothing and forget
ten nothing. Special interests
appeared before the committee as al
ways, argued their points for protec-
ton of their own industries through
prohibitive atriff, and for the most
! part got what they wanted. Each in
terest saw only as far as its own nose
and disregarded all those around it.
The potash interest obtained
high tariff to keep out importations
of this commodity, thus raising the
farmers cost and reducing any prob
able advantage to be obtained from a
high agricultural tariff. And the con-
sumner pays the cost, while trade is
destroyed. The bill reeks with such
errors and injustices. The public is
disguised. Only the many individual
interests which have been taken care
of are satisfied.

Daugherty-F elder-Morse Scandal
Campbell Blocks Investigation.

Campbell Blocks lnVeSugatlOn.
While official Washington and the
country at large were discussing the
odorous Fall-Denby-Sinclair Naval
Oil scandal and the maladorous Nat
Goldstein scandal, and while the I'M
sayory Newberry scandal was crop
ping up here and there in the pri-
mary campaigns, the public nose has
been assailed by Whit of the
Daugherty-Felder Morse scandal un-
der discussion in the Senate, the
House and the public press.
The original charges against Attor-
ney General Daugherty, it should be
remembered, were brought by two Re-
publican Congressman, Woodruff of
Michigan and Johnson of South Dako-
ia, for failure to prosecute war fraud
cases, involving severe personal crit
icism of some of the Attorney Gene
RAILS assistants and employees, with
the allegation that so long as these
men remain in the Department of JUS
rice and have anything to do with
these cases. the department will not
function. The charges were accompa-
nied by a resolution for an investiga-
lion, and although the committee to
which it was referred ordered it re-
"orted favorably, Chairman Camp
hell rep, Kans.), one of the hard
boiled faction, gave it a pocket veto
and has not yet reported it out.
When Senator Caraway, one of the
most skillful political vivisectionists
that ever graced the Senate chamber.

naugherty's connection with the
Morse case, Senator Watson of Indi-
ana rushed recklesslv to his defense,
resulting in the publication OF corre-

Recent Scandals of Harding Admin
istratiOn.

At the rate at which they are break
ing, the scandals of the Harding adj
niinistration promise to outnumber
those of all his Republican predeces-
sors for a generation.
The Daugherty- Fielder Morse scam
dial, thoroughly exploited by the daily
press, can be properly classified as
an administration scandal. Attorney
General Daugherty was the personal
selection of President Harding, and
was Senator Harding's pre-convention
campaign manager.
In recalling the Newberry scandal
it will be remembered that Senator
Newberry was personal friend and
social favorite of President Harding;
that two men indicted with New
berry were appointed by President
Harding to be United States District
Attorneys in Michigan; that the APP
pointment of the notorious Nat Gold
stein was made in the face of general
public knowledge of his connection
with the Lowden primary slush fund;
that President Harding in the public
prints endorsed the leasing of the last
naval oil reserves to subsidiaries of
the Standard Oil Trust, although these
leases were made secretly and had to
be ferreted out by the vigilant John
B, Kendrick. Senator from Wyoming;
that President Harding has never yet
explained his wholesale discharge of
aged and trusted employees in the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing,
nor has he done anything to lift the
cloud he placed upon the lives Of these
men and women who had won prefer
ment in the government service by
long and efficient service.
The foregoing takes no account of
the manner in which the President
has trampled upon the principle and
policy of the Civil Service, nor of his
many bad minor appointments.

spondence, which for the first time re-
vealed the details Of Mr.. Daugherty's
connection with Morse and Thomas B.
Fielder, Morse attorney. and which
completely shattered the Watson de-
Tense.
Senator Caraway's suggestion that
Daugherty should resign to prevent
embarrassment of the President has
been supplemented by the press, in
Guiding the New York Tribune, one
of the leading Republican organs of
New York State and the nation.
One of the most serious phases of
the Daugherty- Morse-Felder expose
is the charge made by former De-
partment Of Justice investigator in
one of the war-fraud cases that Thos.
B. Fielder, attorney for the defendant
attempted to hire him at the sugges-
ton Of Attorney General Daugherty.
Unless this charge is disproved, the
demand for Attorney General Daugh-
.erty's resignation or impeachment is
likely to become unanimous.

Porter }. McCumber (Rep., II. d.,
Chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee.

From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.):
Moved by newspaper opposition to
certain features of his tariff bill, SEN
ator McCuniber of North Dakota, in
lieu of argument, delivered himself
in few choice remarks concerning
the great metropolitan newspapers Of
the country. If Mr.. McCunl-
Der spoke as the representative of the
semi-bolshevist state of North Dakota,
we could afford to ignore him. If he
spoke as Republican leader of the
United States Senate, he should be
taken to task.
Such a blanket indictment of news
papers could proceed only from Grass
ignorance, peevishness, or a selfish
