Ireland Charles Burgess asked what
did il matter If the Cabinet did resign
the British Government could easily put
some one else in It's place.
This aroused the only violent scene ot
the day. but eventually Burgess ex-
plained he had no intention OF offence
and he admitted that Mr.. Collins 0ccu-
pied his position BY the vote Of the
Dali Eireann.

Richard Mulcahy, who thought that the
leaders should meanwhile arrange a

three months adjournment, said that
In that time the situation might have

PELLETIER OUSTED
AS UNFIT OFFICIAL
Boston District Attorney Is
Found Guilty of Corrup-
ton in Office.

Boston, Feb. 21.-The Supreme Court
to-day removed Joseph c. Pelletier from
the office Of District Attorney of Suffolk
county. It's decision, returned unani-
mously by the majority of the full bench
who sat as judges and jury at the re-
cent trial, was that he had used his
office for private favoritism and per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT" Conspiracy
with certain attorneys to extort large
sums of money was held TO be proved.
+ The fact that Mr.. Pelletier and United
States Senator James A. Reed of Mis-
souri,, his chief counsel, elected at the
trial to introduce no testimony in de-
fense was declared by the court 70
warrant inferences unfavorabe TO the
respondent. 1T Is conduct in the nature
of an admission" the court declared
The decision. written by Chief Justice
RugS and subscribed to by Associate
Justices Jenney Carroll. De Courcy and
Braley, maintained again that the Dis
trict Attorney was without right to take
any exceptions to its rulings Mr. Pei
letter and his counsel at the trial had
questioned the right of the court to try
him. asserting that the proceedings
should have been by impeachment
through the Legislature.
Eight of the cases in which guilt was
found were of blackmail. the District
Attorney being charged with aiding in
the eXtortion or attempted eXtortion Of
money from persons under threats of
criminal prosecution.
Most, if not ALL Of the charges OF
conspiracy against the respondent in
cluded Daniel H. Coakley as a cocoon
spirator either alone or with others" :"
the court said.
Coakley, a Boston attorney. figured
also in the testimony at the trial as a
result of which Nathan A. Tufts was
removed as District Attorney of Middle
sex county last summer In both trials
testimony showed that he received large
sums of money as fees for avertng pro-
secution or for other purposes.
The court cited evidence concerning
Withdrawals of large sums of money by
Mr.. Coakley from his bank accounts and
the deposits soon after by the District
Attorney of similar amounts to his
credit in his bank account, and said
these deposits were reasonably near In
point Of time" to the receipt by Mr..
Coakley Of sums OF money largely In
excess of any amount justly due for
legitimate services rendered.
The court said that the sum of s20.-
500 paid to Coakley to avert prosecu-
ton of the Emerson Motors Company of
New York for stock selling irregulari-
ties was grossly in excess Of the fair
value of any professional services that
might be rendered in averting' such a
prosecution"
An alleged attempt to make Mrs.
Jennie s. Chase. widow of n wealthy
mill owner of Webster. pay $4,000 to
avert prosecution of her daughter, Mrs.
Elizabeth Chase Emery, and the lat
ter's second husband, Curtis w. Emery.
on statutory charges, was characterized
by the court as "a conspiracy formed
by Coakley, the respondent and others
to extort a large sum of money from
Mrs. Chase. an unoffending old woman"

He waved the olive branch by point
ing out that the difference between

De Valera said further that the point
was this: rs what you are getting

that the treaty was not worth the
price he turned to Collins. saying:

"While DIR. Haywood is, to use his
own words, resting on his oars the
American Unity League is hurrylng
scouts 10 New York TO locate head
quarters and join the general uprising
aga the klan. In the meantime,
however, klans and rumors of klans
spring up in unexpected places.
Alderman Peter j. McGuinness, who
drove colonies of Chinese coolies and
herds of free roaming cattle out OF
Greenpoint, has discovered plans to
organize a khan in that section of the
city.
MIR. MeGuinness not only withheld
his approval of such a movement in
Greenpoint yesterday, but said that
the only way for the Klan to estab-
lish itself in his balwick would be
for il politically and physically to
beat him and his friends. which is
tantamount to saying that the klan
movement in Greenpoint is about 70

Alderman McGu.nness, have manag-
ed to live quite nicely without being
directed by the Ku klux klan ami
they vii leontinue to do so. There
will be no klan In Greenpo:nt. I'll

KING COTTON AND PRINCE YAM

There is coming time in johnson
county" observes the Smithtield OBJ
server when old King Cotton is going
TO topple on his throne and Queen
Nancy Hall and King Porto Rico and
Prince Yam are going to take that
kingdom and march onward along the
road of prosperity for the farmers
here. His Majesty King Cotton's con-
dition is reported as being serious and
there is much concern over the situa-
tion of his domain. The potato
family is fast gaining a grip on the
pulse of the county and there is a
feeling that the days of Cotton's reign
are coming to an end. He has as
sebled all his powers at the ware
house here and there is no more
room for them.
The Smithfeld paper does well to
be enthusiastic over the future Of the
sweet potato, for it has future of
proportions at present undreamed of
by those who have known it all these
years. Its great future is to be made
now largely by advertising. An en-
ergetic farm demonstrator said to
the News the other day that before
very long there will be big cam.

The FAILURE OF BEST MINDS

With Mr.. Monde.l ard scores eI
the best ordinary minds lost IN The
election shuttle, and Lodge, IliE
ONE best mind saved by the skn
Of his teeth. Presiden, Harding ar
nounces that he is going 70 take d.
rect leadership Of his party. He
does no; even give place at the
counsel table TO Brother Coolidge
who had the great ambition TO De
me liason officer between ;he. Pres
den; and the best minds in Congress,
rer Brother Daugherty. another one
Of the few best minds who would
probably be in jail il he voters
could have passed upon his candidacy
for that distinction.
The President wants il distinctly
understood that he has now taken ae-
I've and energetic leadership and lS
responsible hereafter for what the
marty does. The possible fact that
he has simply passed from the charge
AZ one set OF the best minds 70 that
az another. to-wit, the gentlemen most
directly interested in the rake-oif
scheme which he purposes N the
name Of American shipping. may Dc
passed over At this time. The essen
tial thing is the fact that the Presi-
dent is finally awake g the failure q
Els scheme to escape responsibility
81 attempting 70 turn the political
deck back forty or fifty years. HIS
idea that the Presiden; should be
satisfied to exert a formal influence
ppon congress BY occasional state pa
pers and trust congress 10 run the
country on its own initiative grew
ont of his overestimating the famous
normalcy which he thought the coun-
try wished to return to, and ms
perception that il was good cam
paign cry just at the time ne used
il.
No President in modern times has
amounted to a whit who did not as
sumo leadership and show leadership.
The explanation for this is the same
truth tha; has aroused the discussion
of what is known as the short bal
lot. II comes from the fact that we
have carried to an extreme the prin-
ciple of popular election of officers,
so that so many are elected, local,
state and national that it has become
impossible for the people TO put their
fingers upon anybody who will ae-
cept responsibility. Everything goes
wrong and nobody can be blamed spe-
eiically. Or if one or two or score
are blamed and turned down in the
next election it does no good, others
coming in who may be just as useless
in so far asgetting any action that
the people want is concerned.
Thus. not being able to get results
by holding everybody responsible. i
has been a natural process that some
particular one must be held response
ble. This is the basic reason for par
~ government and the reason why
the President, as the largest and
most conspicuous office holder Of his
party, is made leader whether he
wishes to be or not. These are the
facts which Mr.. Harding either did
not understand or thought he could
wilfully change, and are the facts,
also, which has driven him to aban-
don the absurd theory Of the best
minds and made him, willy nilly. an
nounee that he is to be leader wheth
er he in fact becomes leader or not.
