THK MATTER NOT PART1ZAN
It Is Impossible to withhold from
the Dominion o* Canada at this tim
applause always deserved by the
nation, a« by the individual, that
*111 neither be beguiled nor intlmi
daed into silence by shal
low or subtle pleas in be
nalf of appearances, when
truth and hcnor and all right
eousness demand outspoken and
ylainspoken protest. It may be con
ceded to be unfortunate, it is to
? great degree humiliating and dis
graceful that at a time of difficulty
.<q 1 stress for the empire, and at
u 'tme when Canada is putting forth
every effort and making every sac
rifice t behalf of the motherland,
should be found that certain un
scrupulous -persons, known as amy
contractors, have beeu practicing
some of the most despicable forms (
cf conspiracy and fraud.
Some of the revelatlous of the j
.nquiry at Ottawa recall those of J
fifty years ago in the United States.
Tens of thousands of Union boI- ;
"lens suffered severely between ,
1S61 and 1S63 because of the ill-j
.■nade and ill-fitting shoes and the |
»hoddy clothing and blankets furn- j
ished by dishonest contractors. To 1
avoid scandal then exposure was
postponed too long. There is a
demand in Canada uo* that the j
-vidence elicited at Ottawa be
lushed up so that 6candal may be I
avoided. But no good is accom-|
plished by attempting to hide or j
Hisguise evil, and it is gratifying to .
iind that east and west in the Do- ,
ralaion there is a much more pro
nounced demand that the whole
situation be made clear.
The sooner the exposure is com
pete the sooner will the evil be re
moved The matter is not partisan.
This is made evident by the atti
! iide toward it of some of the most
respectable and responsible news
p-iperq of both conservative and lib
eral '»o:iiion.. Partiianship should
i-ot be permitted to enter into it.
The young men at the front that
-re th* victims of the dishonest
lOntractiug system art, patriots, not
oartiza.is, and their common neces
sities and common comforts shouk}
take precedence always of politi
tal, partisan aad personal con
siderations at home.
INDIANA'S OBJECT LESSON
The moral of the conviction of
twenty-seven of the leading citizens
cf Terre Haute, Ind., including the
L.avor. will of course be most keen
ly appreciated by the Hoosier state,
which now has to undergo a sort of
publicity and advertising far from
advantageous, says an Eastern ex
change. This is a penalty that goes
along with cItIc treason and with
fampering with the process of bal
loting, a penalty that cannot be es
caped. Slat-8 with urban communi
ties that are well governed and that
■ ave hon^t elections profit by the
fact. When misrule and venality
triumph in cities the fact is regis
tered sooner or later ct the state
capital. Not can it be otherwise.
Hence the triumph for law and
order in Terre Haute implies finer
conditions in Indianapolis.
For the country at large the case
end its outcome may serve tlie
1 urpose of reminder that along
with international and national as
l-ects of contemporary politics there
still loom problems of considerable
magnitude which are strictly urban
aud local. With altered forms of
city managers and "commissions.",
and with concessions of "home rule"
by legislatures or by constitutional
conventions, urban government in
the United States has taken strides
of late which nut it well on the?
way to efficient and less costly
tovernment. But the "old spoils"
.heory of narty reward for party
victory has not been given up in
many, communities: and no nc*>
or progressive form of government
can of itself transform conditions
unless manned with persons whc
sincerely bel'.ev** in the "merit" sys
tem, and who are above craft for
party ends. Unfortunately Eigne
abound that oi.e of the political re
actions that the United States seems
to be undergoing now is to be an
attack on the "merit" system of
Lominating and elect! ig officials,
with threatened attenda-if restora
tion of narrow partisanship.
The Terre Haute care and its
outcome show that judicial proced
ure is still to be depended cn when
it is given convincing fn/.'s for evi
dence The difficulty often in get
ting convictions in bribery and con
spiracy cases is In the disinclina
tion of persons who have import
ant evidence to produce It, lest later
they meet with retaliation from the
convicted officials' friends.
