J of approximately 40 million dollars jv.crth of fraudulent bonds of a mu nicipal pawnshop by a clever swind-!e-r, v.ho apparently inu.t have had th? assistance of certain high publ.c ! officials. To understand the fury that has swept France, as the true nature of lie IJayonne scandal has become j l:r. own, it i:; r.cce: sary to bear in j mind a -pedal characteristic of the j i'Vmth pecple. It i; one of the prin- j cipal purjc::fs of the average French j man to accumulate, as soon as po:; ;ih!e, r. modest fortune, upon which u.; i.-.uj ii.-uiu aim live iui iiiK i u.- of hi.; life in comparative comfort lo accomplish this purpose at an early age, he will practice the great est. possible- thrift, and once he has entered the large class of rentiers (perrons, v.ho live on income from their Investments), his chief concern to maintain hia capital unimpair ed. The 1 rencl.man, therefore, crdl namy i.; particularly caret ul to fee that his Investments are in safe se ruritks, and the bonds of municipal theory at least, closely supervised by the goveernnicnt, long have been clawed among the most desirabla of ?uch securities. The discovery that through gross negligence, if not crim inal connivance, the- government has permitted a known swindler to fleece the public of about 40 million dol lars naturally haa created a tremcn dou3 nensatlon, and following a series of nioro or Ie3s similar scandal3 in recent years, It has shaken public confidence in Fiance out of what a foreigner might regard as all propor tion to the money involved. Kan sas City Star. . :o: It was like the brave eld days of the depression at its worst, to hear Ogden L,. Hills, the Hoover head cf the treasury, tell a Topeka. Kans.. tJiHr:? r.t ihp faithful that "the whole conception of a planned and directed national economy is destruc tive of the most fundamental prin ciples upon which the American sys tem rests." Again that "in this Utopia to which the president is leading U6 . . . men will no longer be free ia the etnse that they may plan their own lives, but are to be regimented, directed and ruled by an all power ful state." And thus on and on, in generalized opposition and unsptci c criticism. If Mr. Mills expresses the views cf what remains of the republican national organization, then the partj- needs a new national organization. If the Topeka address is no moe than Mr. Mills' notion cf what is po litically expedient to say at this time, then he has counted himself out of any further consideration for the presidential nomination to which be has arpired since lart March. In the face of Tuc-'.day's unpre cedented and overwhelming demon stration of affection for the presi dent, transcending ail party lines and springing from an almost uni versal confident? in Mr. Roosevelt's heroic efforts in the last je-ar to mas ter the Rational emergency, Mr. Mills can only suggest that we re turn to that freedom of tbe individ ual which, for millions, had resolved itself into the privilege of starving j in idleness; to return to that wish ful inaction and impc'.ence to move in any direction which prc.c-ded the Roosevelt advent in the government. If Mr. 31111c is the elected voice cf the organized opposition tc the pres ident, it might better di:band.

Roosevelt has re ceived thousands of letters protest ing against the use of wine in the White House on religious and moral grounds, but only one from a con stituent bold enough to say h op-pOL-ea wiuebecausehelikes whisky better. The impression held by many that practicing by an attorney before the government departments at Wash ington consists largely of using per sonal influence and outride pressure upon official: to get them to accord whatever is asked if not liD:ne out by the fact. Th: u: e of political power and influence exists in the na tion Just as it doei in the rtatcs, and in many ca-es ii is doubtless very potent , since it lias t:en remarked that every time an r.cminirtration changes its political complexion there is a rush of influential attorneys to Washington. There is, however, a wide field of practice before departments cf the government in v.hi.h the services of an attorney are necessary, both be cause these involve appearances at hearings win re evidence iz adduced and where arguments are necessary and because they involve a knowl edge of usage and prccent. The library shelves of lawyers who spec ialize in this form of practice con tain usually many more government reports than they do lavr bocks. Out of these reports they gain a knowl edge of value to persons who have controverted matters before the de partment chiefs or units which in volve no question of politics altho there is nothing to prevent a lawyer with political pull telhing on the side with an official, altho this 13 as much of a breach of ethics as talk ing with a Judge before or after a care has been submitted to him, on the merits of the controversy. Many former officeholders who took the precaution to learn the law before they took public place find that their experienc? in law is very valuable to them and a decided asset if they determine to practice before the departments after they hava been dislodged. Since the bar associations have rever done anything about this matter, it may be a."umed that it is not unethical in rpite of the fact that it savors of unfair competition.
