Toe to the puzzle-headed ineptitude of Congressional com mittees, it has become possible for a scandalmonger to go to Washington and choose the Capitol as a vantage point from which to sling mud in any direction his frenzied fancy suggests, No matter how recklessly Lawson slanders public officials and assails the integrity of citizens, what fie saye is put before the country as “testimony” offered to the Rules Committee of the House of Rep-! resentatives. No matter how obscure or muddy the sources of his stream of gossip, it goes forth from the National Capitol itself to produce unfortunate effects upon minds unable wholly to escape its influence. Why such a notorious publicity hunter should have been per- mitted to manoeuvre himself into « position where he can make his wild assaults upon other men’s reputations, under the auspices, as it were, of the National Legislature, heaven only knows! He has been allowed to go so far now that the country must provide Opportunity for a lengthening line of men in public and private life to come forward and refute slanderous accusations made by a person against whom they have no redres. From every point of view it is preposterous that Lawson should have, for his present purposes, any protection from the law. » Least of all should his mouthinge have had legislative encouragement or sanction. The plain fact is the legislators who took up Lawson found they. had turned on a fountain of frenzied falsehood and defamation. ‘Their fumblings found no way to shut off the torrent. The only hope now is that the whole disgusting exhibition may he a lesson to Con gress and a warning for the future. perenne ADMIRAL DEWEY.
