When the speaker was summoned before
Q committee Of the Senate he first
pleaded that the information. upon
which he based his statement had

he could not tell the names Of either MS

This, Of course, was an untenable posi-
ton. II information or accusation is
conveyed "in confidence" it must not be
bruited about in public, and the source
or authority kept hidden. Later the
speaker acknowledged that he was prob
ably mistaken as 10 the identities OF the
supposed part owners Of the land; they
were perhaps ex-Senators, or relatives
of ex-Senators. At any rate, he repu-
dated the charge, and the incident was
closed with a rsprimand, which was
fully deserved.
Loose talk makes mischief. Hearsay
information Is often inaccurate. Il have
heard hints that So-and-So is crooked"
when passed along is likely to become
"so-and-So is a crook" And then de-
tails may be supplied, from the imagi-
nation, until So-and-So is specified in
his iniquity. SANDER is committed con-
stantly as q result of this process OF
amplification. The evil aspect Of this
deplorable tendency is that the sinister
suggestion endures in the minds of all
who receive 1t. However pure of motive
or square of performance public man,
he may be secretly condemned as venal
and the story Of his corruption, wholly
imaginary, spread far and wide with
successive amplincations.
1t is well to call to account those who
thus repeat, in public or in private,
hints or positive statements rejecting
upon the honesty and the honor of pub
lie men, Only by so doing will the pur-
veyor of SANDER be cured of very bad
habit
