In Fred Van Gorden’s case, he was just one more of those, who, having attained some busi- ness and social standing in the community and some degree of success financially, when re- yerses came and creditors insisted, lacked the courage to face the situation.-And in a moment phen his mind was at its highest tention from worry and fear, it snapped, and Fred Van Gor- den entered the realm of irresponsibility. In this period of temporary aberration he committeed the awful deed of destroying his wife and boy. Undoubtedly he was in the same state when his own life was taken by the Douglas sheriff when he defied arrest. ‘ He was just another victim of the false be- lief that failure is a disgrace that cannot be wiped out—even failure coupled with personal dishonor. It was this latter cause, doubtless that impelled him to commit the horrible crime, He possessed courage of a kind, but not that su- preme courage to face what might be considered odds against victbry. It is difficult for those who knew the affable Fred Van Gorden in life to realize that he com- mitted the act he did. Were he in possession of hig reason, we all know he would not have done it. It is not charity to the dead to believe that he was temporarily nsone, it is simply believing the truth. The community, while unspeakably shocked, is profoundly grieved at the needless sacrifice. Fred Van Gorden was in no manner so deeply involved that he could not have been saved by torial hounds are all the time running off mere- ly at a word.” All the pertinent evidence bearing on the oil leases could have been presented in a but the committee has spent three months to spring sensations based largely upon irrele- vant evidence, and apparently for partisan po- litical purposes. Government By Default ~ “Behold the august senate of the United States. If we may paraphrase a line from Marc Anthony’s celebrated oration,” says the Spring- field-Union. “Oh what a fall there is my coun- trymgn!” We intend no pun on the word “fall” We refer exclusively and particularly to the themselves. honorable senators “One can not read the conservative Associ- colorful accounts of the special correspondents, without feeling a sense of shame and humilia- tion. Is it to this that the “greatest deliberative : i r body in the world” has come? If it has been irdee the aan fan pate tonnage was not adequate to serve the trade of the country. Now, how- the purpose of the senators, with very few ex- pees to shock the country by revelations of inliquity in connection with Teapot Dome, the purpose has singularly miscarried. “If in a calm, dispassionate and decent man- ner the senate had laid before the country the facts and nothing but the facts with respect to the oil situation, the country might have been very properly shocked. As it is, it is shocked to some extent. But it is disguested, outraged, nau- seated, infinitely more by the performances of those who have undertaken to expose any wrong: doing that may have occurred. “The spectacle of men who call themselves senators running around as if bereft of reason, indulging in criminations and recriminations, casting their slanderous epithets at nearly everybody in public life and dragging them- selves into the very mire in which they have tried to drag others is a spectacle compared with which Teapot Dome seems almost lovely. “The nation’s business suffers, the taxpayers cry for relief, while men, lost to all sense of de- cency, fill the senate chamber with their mouth- ings and pose as saviors of the country’s honor. We care not what they call themselves —wheth- er they wear the Republican, the Democratic or | the Progressive label. They who have filled the air with their outpourings of falsehood, in- uendo and base suspicion deserve the scorn and contempt of every self-respecting, clear-thinking American citizen. “These senators are not voicing the sentiments of the sober substantial voters back in their home states. They are for the most part repre- senting the slender minorities that elected them —the noisy minorities that think not, neither do they care. Senator Shipstead was elected by only 26 per cent of those eligible to vote; Senator Brookhart by only 29 per cent; Senator Wheeler by only 30 per cent; Senator Dill by only 17 per cent; Senator Ferris by only 16 per cent and so we might go on through almost the entire list. “This is not government of the majority; it is government by default. It constitutes a scath- ing indictment of the indifference of the voters It shows that the direct nomination and direct election of the United States senators are con- spicuous failures, so far as arousing the citi- zen to a sense of his duty and preserving the prestige of the senate are concerned. A thousand times better the occasional instance of corrup- tion that occurred when senators were elected by the legislatures of their respective states than a system that puts into the senate, by trif- ling minorities, such men as are by their dis- friends, had they but known. ‘At Its Worst Senate Investigating committees are ignoring the letter and the spirit of that section of the constitutitn which provides that the right of the people to be secure in their persons; houses, papers and effects shall not be violated. Even the Democratic press is becoming dis- guested with the methods that have been pur- sued by the sensationalists in charge of the oil investigation. No one complains of any reason- able and proper effort to get all the facts bear- ing upon the policy and legality of the naval re- serve leases and to punish anyone who may have been guility of unlawful acts. But the present investigation has been permitted to take so wide a range as to bring under surveillance many transactions not in any way connected with the lease or claimed to be so connected. Wherever the Democrats who are conducting the investigation find the slightest excuse for bringing in the name or the business connec- tions or affairs of any Republican, they do so, and, once having the name in the record, pro- ceed to voice insinuations and cast slurs under the protection of that section of the constitu- tion which says that for anything said in either house of congress a member shall not be called in question in any other place. They seem to have forgotten that section of the constitution which provides that “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreason- able searches and seizures, shall not be vio- lated.” . Despite that. provision, the senate committee has called upon telegraph companies to deliver | huge bundles of telegrams through which the committee seached in an effort to find some- thing relating to the oil leases. A large propor- tion of the telegrams read by the committee had no connection with the oil leases whatever. Of course, most of those not connected with the} leases were not made public, but they became known to the half dozen or more senators who were members of the committee, and there were “leaks.” Some telegrams not connected with the oil transactions were made public by the com- mittee. If this can be done in one instance, it can be done in any number of instances. If communi- cations can be secured by calling a telegraph company empleyee, individuals may just as eas- ily be called and compelled to reveal their corre- spondence, even though it has no bearing upon the subject of the inquiry. The committee has no more right to a telegram than it has to a letter. It has a right to either a telegram of a letter if it has a bearing upon a question at is- sue in due process of ‘, but it has no right to demand indiscrimina any correspondence it takes a notion to loo! and then reveal to the gusting performances bringing disgrace not only upon themselves, but upon what was in the past, and what should be now, a body conspic- uous for its substantial character, ita intelli- gent ability, its clean patroitism and its gentle- manly conduct.” A Real Shipping Board The act of congress creating the federal ship- ping board especially provides that anyone hay- ing a direct interest in a shipping corporation shall be ineligible. Hence we find advertising men. criminal law- yers, professional politicians, anything bunt practical and experienced professional shipping men on the board. Retired senators and other federal office hold- ers have composed its membership in the past and our country’s four billion dollar investment in ships has been lucrative as a political plum tree. It is a clear case of. political administration of a trust that is purely a matter of expert busi- ness ability and by its nature should have non- political business management. Could railroads, public utilities or great in- dustries be managed by other than experts in those lines and succeed? Would not public ownership or control of such industries mean the same kind of manage- ment as in the shipping board, with resulting heavy losses to taxpayers? Subject to Judgment When certain senators talk about the “effi- ciency and competence” of the people’s govern- ment at Washington, and when they ettack a co-ordinate branch of that governme., they ought to realize in proper humbleness ‘hat the public is bound to pass upon the “efficiency and competence” of the senate, itself. Clamor and gossip, scandalmongering and inquisition are not the only things that go to make a senate record for “efficiency and compétence.” Hysteria and partisan frenzy are not elements of true states- manship. Wisely and Faithfully This lovely land, this glorious liberty, these benign. institutions, the dear purchase of our fathers, are ours; ours to enjoy, ours to preserve, ours to transmit. Generations past and genera- tions to come hold us responsible for this sacred trust. Our fathers, from behind, admonish us, with their anxious paternal voices; posterity calls out to us, from the bosom of the future; the world turns hither its solicitous eyes; all con- tion which we sustain—Daniel Webster. The Stem Realities Writing from London, Herbert N. Casson says that at the end of the first month of the Labor Government “Ramsay MacDonald has uot shown himself to be half as dangerous a social- ist as Lloyd George was.

Not long ago public attention was called to the fact that when British merchants sell géods they sell with insurance and freight included in the contract, thus giving the British merchant control over the in- surance premium and the determina- tion of the transportation line to handle the goods. The British mer- chant has taken care to see that the goods are Insured in British com- panies and that they are transported on British ships.
