''The republican party needs no

us, speaking for Mr.. Lodge. II am the

ton. 'L'etat, c'est moi Further, in
crude colloquial, am it. l have made
of them and they of me what we are
L worship their creator. The cleo
torate has honored me highly, generous
ly, patiently" This quotation, we feel
sure, must be incorrect, and Mr.. Wash
burn must be relying on that treach-
erous thing, his memory. 1t is not the
people of Massachusetts who have
honored Mr.. Lodge, but Mr.. Lodge who
has showered them with his favors.
What was Massachusetts before Mr..
Lodge made her famous? What states
man had she sent to the Senate?
What laws did they enact? Embalmed
in a sort of dubious fame by being one
of the 81 varieties. Massachusetts
would have remained obscure and I'M
known, without a poet to sing her
graces or historian to recount her
deeds. had it not been for Mr.. Lodge.
For in him are combined the accom-
plishments of poet. historian and states
man, the genius that never dies. Long,
long after the primaey of New York
has passed and Mayor Hylan is but
memory. and the bobbed-hair bandit of
Brooklyn has become a myth, the name.
and fame of Lodge will live in marble
and bronze and men will tell of those
stirring days when they recounted Sen
ator Lodge and he was crowned by the
people their minority senator.
Fie upon Mr.. Washburn and his
limping words This open confession
of my virtues and recapitulations of
these great triumphs of mine of many
years is made in no vulgar spirit of
satisfaction or self-aggrandizement but
simply that l may lay these signal
honors at the feet of Massachusetts to
show her place and her power in the
councils of the nation To this quota
ton Mr.. Washburn adds a footnote ::
"A model of modest autobiography.
Quoted from memory" And pray, we
ask, why should not Mr.. Lodge be
modest an it pleasures him? Mr.. Wash
burn seems to think it is an offense
for Mr.. Lodge to recount his triumphs,
not to enhance himself, for that would
be as impossible as to gid refined gold,
but to the lustre of his beloved state.
AT her feet he lays his laurels. Honors
are as dross to him. He has been
| recounted and he is safe.
That is, as safe as Newberry was
until the ak fell.

Senator Lodge clIampioned the cause of
Free Silver, there is only reverence and
admiration for him: that mothers hush
their crying babes with the grooming of
his name; that hayward youth is
brought back to the path of rectitude
when the sweet and simple story of his
life is told. Caesar had his Brutus.
Lodge has his Washburn. But that
makes it no easier for us. The halo lies
furnished in the dust and our idol is in
fragments. The Sacred Cod sheds a
salty tear and the glory is departed
from Boston.
1t was our duty, we felt it. to read

LEHMAN IS OUT
ON $4,000 BOND
Former City Clerk Re-
leased From Jail Satur-
day Evening

William II. Lehman, former clerk in
the city comptroller's office, who is
charged with embezzlement of city
finances, was free under $4,000 bond
Saturday night.
This figure was set by Judge Will
liam E. Fort Saturday evening after
he had taken under advisement a plea
for reduction of the bond from $4,000
to $4,000. In announcing his decision
the court said he had taken into con-
sideration the figure which Lehman is
said to have misappropriated Lehman
made the bond shortly after it had
been set.
Lehman was formally placed under
arrest early Saturday morning by CHIEF
entered the sheriff's office and gave
himself up. He had formerly been free
on $4,000 bond, which was made by
several friends Immediately after hi.
first arrest upon discovery of til,
shortage.
Walter Brewer, his attorney, pre-
sented his case before Judge Fort.
Solicitor Jim Davis was not present
at the hearing, but had formerly STATED
that he would oppose any attempt tC
have the amount of the bond reduced
Assistant Solicitor ]. ?. Mccoy did not
oppose the reduction, adding that he
would be satisfied with whatever
amount the judge might set.
Lehman was placed on the stand and
answered several questions regarding
the alleged embezzlement and his
ability to raise the amount of the bond
He said he had practically no propert!
and would be unable to raise $1,000
bond He was followed by liner Hood
deputy registrar in chancery, who stated
that he had known the defendant for
several years and considered him honest
prior to the alleged embezzlement
In presenting his plea for reduction,
Mr.. Brewer cited several cases in Ala

5000 or less had been allowed defend

competent system Of governmental ac-
counting in the known world. No one
ever laid it out. It just grew up. No
department, SO far as know, has a
contracting officer familiar with the
law governing purchases. Consequent
ly departmental underling may buy
buy 40 trucks, let us say-because he
needs the trucks and believes he has the
money to the credit of his account in
the treasury. He pays for the TRUCKS
in good faith. Then, after he has used
them awhile the comp-troller-genera Is
force discovers that he had no legal
right to buy. them.
"Put the moey back in the treas
ury,' says McCarl.
The departmental officers only re-
course is to the man who sold the
trucks. That man must pay that money
and take back his trucke with all the
newness kknocked off them. No one
denies that this is hidiously unfair. But
if the departmental officer had taken
the trouble to find out whether he had
a right to buy trucks, or if the seller
every one should take in dealing with
the government. -

Find out if the buyer had legal
right to buy
There would have been no trouble.

loses interest in the multifarious tax

posed-will take enough time to correct
the accounting system. Meanwhile
Comptroller-G General McCarl is, as /
have previously siad, the only watch
dog of the treasury. No one gets a
dollar out of the treasury nuless the
getting has been explicitly authorized
by Congress. 1t isn't McCarl duty to
pass on the ethical elements involved.
1t may well be that the non-payment
of a debt might be as dirty a trick on
the part Of the government as it is
to steal pennies off dead negro's eyes.
But itaisn't McCarl job to consider that
fact. He only watches the law.
''Tis sweet to hear the watch-dog's
honest bark" = -
