FALLS FALL-A TRAGEDY.
By SCOTT c. BONE.


 What the facts in given case are IS not as important as what the people think the facts are. This has been sgnaly and cruelty true in the case of the Government vs Albert B. Fall late Secre- tary of the Interior who, finally, stands convicted of betraying his official trust by accepting brioe
 From the very inception of the oil scandal, his guilt has been assumed. Disgraced aged and brok- en- for six years while the criminal litigation dragged it's weary length along, he has endured a living death, and paid heavier penalty than if he had been behind the bars all this while.
 Only family ties and the steadfast friendship of his old partner, E. L. Doheny whose generosity in stress led to the Secretarys undong, have sus- tained him through the bitter, crushing ordeal Pre- judged-even the highest court condemned him manifestly there has been indispostion to hear the other side at any stage of the proceedings.
 Coincidently and with coincident cruelty fel- low Cabinet officer Edwin Denby, as high minded American and sterling patriot as ever reached lofty station was driven out of public life and to a premature grave because of his part in the oil leases which he bravely admitted and defended.
 Pilloried by the press subjected to vicious parti- san onslaught the finger of public scorn merciless- ly pointed at him, what show had the facts to re- ceive consideration on their merits? Albert B. Fall was undone. Vndication put beyond the pos- sibilty of attainment. Living, he were better dead His sun was set, ingoriously. brilliant career was closed, summariy. Suspicion, famed into flame, had destroyed him, relentlessly
 Who cared to recall that he served with distnc- ton Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Mexico and had twice been considered for seat on the United States's highest bench? Pictured as a political reactionary and hardened spoilsman, of what profit to mention that he a devoted disciple and follower of Theodore Roosevelt, en- trusted with his campaign for renomination in 1916, that he subsequently, served with honor in the Senateq Away with these and kindred ire levances! What bearing had they in the snuffing out of an ilustrious career?
 It was enough to know that he permitted CO., grubstaker of his youth, the now fabulously-rich Doheny lend him $10o000 and accept it's delivery in cash, instead of by customary check or draft. The circumstance of the transaction, rather than the transaction itself spelled his doom. Why show, undertake to show, that his old friend, his bene factor, did not profit penny's worth by the oil- leasing contract, but sustained loss of millions? Or why call upon naval and mining experts to testify to the wisdom of the lease entered into? Or why cite the legal record showing his acquittal on the charge of conspiracy? Out with such im- material stuff Let his pre-judged guilt remain fixed and unshaken.
 The finding of the jury of his peers-radically changed during deberaton (seven originally voting for acquittaD-may not be justified by the facts submitted, but accords with what the average run
