Brandeis successfully pro: cuted the noted Ballinger case. The president, however, Named Atlee Pomerene, of Ohio. Said Dill in the senate: “A national scandal demands a national prosecutor who will recover these reserves, which have been stolen, and Place the guilty men in the penitentiary. “The testimony this morning shows that Mr. Dohney has had in his employ, since they left President Wilson's a Cabinet, four of his cabinet officials. What do these © things mean to the country? They mean that the whole country is beginning to wonder whether anybody can be found who is clean and who can be trusted. “There is one man who I beliéve could be chosen, and Who, if he would accept the appointment, would have. the ‘confidence of the entire people. That man is a man who #its on the supreme bench, Mr. Justice Brandeis, who suc- cessfully prosecuted the Ballinger case and who has the fonfidence of all men everywhere. “The American people are aroused over this thing. They believe that public officials are for sale in Wash- » and it behooves all of us from the president down See that there is appointed in this matter somebody of ‘Such national reputation, of such unsullied character, of uch great ability as a prosecutor, that every one every- here will say that if anything could be done to return ‘these oil-feserves to the government and to put these n in the penitentiary that man can do it.” Senator Dill is right. If the politicians and leaders of er party think they can play politics with this thing h are mistaken. It is too big and the public too much President Coolidge received his greatest hurt, thus far, “the Gregory fiasco. President Coolidge’s greatest danger in the group of old guard advisers who surround him. American shipbuilding has deciined 96 per cent, which {s very close 100 per cent American, if anybody asks you. Leave the Direct Primary Alone EORGE E. RYAN, editor of “Washington Democracy,” an organ for the dissemination of news interesting the state’s democrats, has the right idea in this edi- on the primary law from the current issue, which Star wants to reprint: We understand a movement is on foot to present a resolution at both the republican and democratic state committee meetings suggesting some modification of the present direct primary law which would tend to strengthen party organization. Leaders of the repub- Jican party in this state have been making a vicious _ attack upon the direct primary, but in our judgment _ such criticism is confined largely to the more reaction- ary element of that party. There are some weaknesses in the: present direct primary election laws, but any attempt to modify them, particularly by the men who have been leading the fight for such modification at recent meetings of the Young Men’s Republican club of Seattle, would simply be the opening wedge for their repeal and the substitu- tion of the old-time convention system. We are as anxious as anyone to build up the demo- eratic organization in this state. But the only way it can merit the confidence of the voters is for those charged with the management of the party to have faith in the judgment of the people, to present prin- ciples, and candidates worthy of the support of the in- eratic party will continue to be the medium thru which they can register their votes for constructive, progressive legislation in both state and nation. Tinker- ing with the direct primary would have but one effect upon the people and that will be to hasten non-partisan election of all county and state officials. If the leaders of the democratic and republican parties want that, well and good. If not, our advice is for them to leave the direct primary alone. “The Ides of March remember” was Bill Shakespeare's suggestion, and the income tax collectors make us do it. Daugherty’s Fine Feeling TTORNEY GENERAL DAUGHERTY goes on a va- i cation at the very moment when the government of ' which he is a member needs the highest and clearest ad- vice and action of its law department. _ Daugherty, displaying a sham sample of high char- acter, does not wish to prosecute Fall, because the latter Was a member of the cabinet in which Daugherty also had a seat. Fineness of feeling and delicacy of sentiment are attributed to Daugherty. It is neither one nor the other. It is a clear case of running away from official and high mora! duties. If Fall is guilty, he disgraced not only himself, but every associate of his in the Harding cabinet. ' Real fineness of feeling would prompt Daugherty to re- gent such disgrace and betrayal. But Daugherty is a mere politician. Lovalty to party is ev ing in his life. ie feeling? Delicacx2 Bahs dependent voters of this state.
