SENATORIAL sNIPERs

The senatorial snipers At PreJ-
dent Coolidge arc trying to screen
their iniquity behind q lot Of
vsrbiass about President Wilson in
his illness. when neither congress
nor the vice president were in
formed as to the Presidents actual
condition. and were unable to deter
mine whether Secretary Tumulty or
someone else was performing the
duties Of the presidency. Reason
demanded that the public should be
informed OF actual conditions.
II was but right that the actual
condition Of the President should be
made public. This does not mean
that all which was said. at that
time about this matter was right,
or discreet. Whether the COM
mittee chosen to obtain for the pub
lie assurance as to the real condi-
possible delicacy we do not know,
we were not there. What we do
believe Is that The country had a
right TO the information they
sought. and that seeking 1t was not a
reflection on the integrity OF the
chief executive.
Now as 10 the kilograms sent
from the White House which In any
way might be suspected of having a
bearing on the oil scandals 1t would
seem but right the country should
know about them. We would not
crticise the investigators for seek
ing this Information. but surely 1t
should not be done, whatever Will
son baiters may have done in the
past, It should not be done In such a
way as to reflect discredit on the
President In advance of the informa-
ton. Seeking TO know about the
actual condition OF President Wilson
was not to his dscredit. There was
nothing Infamous about his illness
or his incapacity and no one so far
as wo recall ever supposed there
was.
But the snipers in tho Senate go
about their attack on Coolidge diff
ferently. Any suspicion that the
President has been seeking to pro-
tect swindlers Is suspicion that he
Is Infamous. And that was the i'm
preston which some have I'M
scrupulously and indecently at
tempted to make. After the inquiry
was made--and at a time when all
the details OF such an upheaval in
government affairs are sought we
would not criticise bringing out oil
tho facts, indeed that Is the duty
Of the investigators-an explanation
was given which cleared up any
possibility of doubt respecting the
President. Even then. certain of
those senators who have been en-
gagged In writing chapters into the
record which will cause shame to
tho next generation IL 1t doesn't to
this. undertook to discredit 1t.
Unless such performances are con-
demned popular government will
have few and troubled years before
st. But they will be condemned. |
1t is political boomerang that will
return upon the heads of those
guilty of throwing 1t. There Is no
conceivable reason why President |
Coolidge should seek to protect any |
individual from any rebuke merited |
in connection with national scandals !
