A New Walker Indictment.

Just as Mayor James J. Walker Of
New York has completed his reply to
charges made against him by the City
Affairs Committee, headed by Rev. John
Haynes Holmes and Rabbi Wise, he is
subjected to another attack The City
Affairs Committee Of the National Re-
publican Club, In its annual report,
makes specific charges against the
mayor and calls upon Gov. Roosevelt to
remove him from ONCE. In general, the
charges made by the two committees
do not differ greatly. The report now
made by the committee OF the National
Republican Club in effect backs up and
holsters the charges made by the City
Affairs Committee. 1t Is made public.

The sudden death Of Speaker Nicho-
| las Longworth is followed by spon-
famous tributes to his unusual public
career. Emphasis is placed upon the
fact that he was man of wealth who
succeeded in winning political success
through personal qualities, and that
though the son-in-law of President
Roosevelt, he was able to leave the i'm
print of his own personality on his po-
litical generation.
The incident Of the campaign OF
1912 is emphasized by the Detroit Free
Press, with the statement that the
honors that later came to him as floor
leader and Speaker of the House were
earned" The Indianapolis Star AYERS
that The had the courage OF his con-
victionS and was a constructive force
in the affairs of the Nation, much in
need of public men of his capacity and
stamina"
Whence the power of Nicholas Long
worth as political leader and parla-
mentarian, and whence his charm as
mani" asks the Cincinnati Times
Star, adding in comment on the sub
ject: THE question is on all lips, and
the answers are as varied as his own
qualities-his forcefulness in leg1sla-
ton, his candor in controversy, his in
stincts of comradeship, before which
party lines faded. The paradox OF his
political efficiency and easy suaVlty OF
outlook is perhaps explained when 1t
is noted that by birth and choice he
was an exponent of the human1tieS.
Cincinnati sets high store by them and
has given them a preferred place In
the curriculum of its university.
Speaker Longworth had heritage of
wealth and social position; he was uni
versity-bred his culture was broadly
based. and in the art of music his was
the hand of a master"
x X
"He will be remembered for long
time by those who knew him as a faith
full officeholder, force for good and
a fine fellow" declares the Ann Arbor
Daily News, while the Youngstown Vim
dicator proclaims that "Ohio has every
reason to take pride in his record and
the Fort Worth Star Telegram describes
him as "a credit to American politics
and to the American background" The
Seattle Daily Times pays the tribute:
In the course of career that has
been too soon and too abruptly closed,
Mr.. Longworth set a fine example for
the young men of America. He did not
merely play politics, as SO many are
willing to do, but worked intelligently
and whole heartedly for the better
service of the people. His high ideals,
his fairness, his capacity for friendA-
ness were not the attributes of political
posturing, but were recognized by all
as evidences of perfect sincerity"
TOO few have appeared on the
American scene who have risen from
wealth and position at birth to high
place in national affairs" thinks the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, while the
Harrisburg Telegraph points out that
"he was a big man in his own right"
and held the Office of Speaker with
honor to himself and satisfaction to his
party and the country" The Rock
island Argus feels that perhaps the
greatest triumph he achieved was to
make it clear that he could attain to
prominent and highly influential
post aside from the accident of birth
and his marriage to the daughter OF a
great President" and the Omaha

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Leave 1t to Me-"
When we're moved to complain
We will hear a refrain
From chap whom We welcome again
and again,
Who says From anxiety you may be
free.
Just leave it to me, boys; just leave it
to mel"
An election will show
Hopes that glimmering go,
But the same old assurance we're GER
tain to know
You'll always find some are exclaiming
with glee,
Just leave it to me, boys; just leave it
to mel"
