THE PRESIDENT’S GREAT SERVICE.

In refusing to pardon John R. Walsh and Charles W. Morse and in the reasons he gave for his act. President Taft has done the country a great service. His reasons in the \\ alsh case, for example, w*hich be it said reinforce the righteousness of the sentence of Judge Anderson, who tried it. constitute a most wholesome comment on the condition of society. The obvious lesson is. as the President says, that laws must be upheld when they affect the rich even more than when they effect the poor. If this seems an affectation the statement that sets out the superior education, intelligence and Opportunity of men like this, who with it all, betray trusts, clearly sh#ws that it is not so, but is an application of even handed justice. In both cases these men used the sums at their command in banks that they controlled in betrayal of their position as a trustee for the money of others. The President sweeps aside, too, as Judge Anderson did at the trial, the mitigating suggestion that the funds in Walsh’s case were to be used for great public purposes—a place of pure, sentimentality that could be used to justify almost any action. Here is this trenchant conclusion : No Reference to usual methods, no suggestion of great business enterprises. no excuse of building useful industries, and no subsequent attempt to make good the losses which his acts have brought upon innocent persons, who trusted him, can gloss over the fact that such a man is taking other people’s money for his own use.

From this clear and righteous ct nclusion the President proceeds tc the most valuable and whole-' some application of the spirit of the case as it touches society : , The truth is that in the mad rush for wealth in the last decade, the 'lines between profit from legitimate business and improper gain from undue use of trust control over other people's property and money have sometimes been dimned, and the interest of society requires that whenever opportunity offers, those charged with the enforcement of the law should emphasize the distinction betw’een honest business and ■dishonest breaches of trust. I t.iThis is the thing that is of the greatest general benefit. It points with unerring aim to the canker that is eating at the honest heart of our daily walk and conversation. The mad /rush for wealth does not only blind the the sense to the difference between profit from legitimate business and improper gain, but it tempts the great body and substance of society into ways of extravagance with their own honestly earned means, leading those that can not afford rightly a way of life to enter it nevertheless.—lndianapolis News.

DIAZ RESIGNS; QUIET FOLLOWS

Francisco De La Barra Assumes Presidential Office. * ' • ■ -- ' ' ' CORRAL’S RESIGNATION READ Las: Official Act of Diaz Is Letter Breathing Love of His Country and Hope that His Character May Be Justly Esteemed. City of Mexico, May 26.—President Diaz has resigned. A letter to that effect was sent to the chamber of deputies and by that body accepted, and there was not a voice raised in dissent or protest. The announcement of the acceptance was received in grim silence. This was in strong contrast to the uproar, almost rioting, which filled the I chamber a few hours before while the populace outside was clamoring for Diaz’s resignation. The resignation of Vice President Ramon Corral was read following the letter of General Diaz. It was also accepted and then the chamber of deputies formally chose Minister of Foreign Affairs Francisco Leon De l a Barra as provisional president to serve until a general election can be held. Senor De La Barra was sworn in at noon today. There was ro rioting and the noisy, laughing, happy crowds on the streets are remindful of the streets of a college town after a glorious victory on I field or river. , Here is the letter which Diaz, for so , many years the “strong man” of Mexico, the dictator with the title of president, wrote as his last official act: “Sir —The Mexican people who gen- 1 eiously have covered me with honors, who proclaimed me as their leader during the international war, who patriotically assisted/ me in all works undertaken to develop industry’ and the commerce of the republic, establish its credit, gain for it the respect of the world and obtain for it an honorable position in the council of nations; the same people has revolted in armed military bands, stating that my presence in the exercise of the supreme executive power was the cause of this insurrection. “I do not know of any facts imputable to me which could have caused this social phenomenon, but pertuitting, though not admitting, that I may be unwittingly culpable,, such a possibility makes me the least able to reason out and decide my own culpaL.'iity. Therefore, respecting, as I have always respected, the will of the people and in accordance with article 82 I of the federal constitution, I come before the supreme representatives of the nation in order to resign. unreservedly, the office of constitutional president of the republic with which the nation honored me, which I do with all the more reason since, in order to continue in office, it would be necessary to shed Mexican blood, endangering the credit of the country, dissipating its wealth, exhausting its resources and exposing its policy to international complications “I hope, gentlemen, that when the passions inherent to all revolutions have been calmed, a more conscientious and justified study will , bring out in the national mind a cor- ' rect acknowledgement, w’ill allow me to die, carrying engraved in my soul a just impression of the estimation of my life, which throughout I have devoted. and will devote to my countryI men.

“With all respect, “PORFIRIO DIAZ.” The ringing of the cathedral bells throughout the city and the firing of cannon followed the proceedings in the chamber. The crowds in the streets almost went wild over the signal announcement of the triumph of the revolution. All the federal troops in Mexico City have been placed under the control of Madero’s personal representative, Don Alfredo Robles Dominguez. There is a rumor that General Diaz and his family will go to France inside of ten days.

WITNESSES FOR DEFENSE HEARD

State’s Evidence in Nye Bribery Case Is All In. BLOT CRAWFORD’S CHARACTER No Testimony Is Presented Connecting State Printer width Vote-Sell-ing in Adams County, as Was Hinted. Columbus, 0., May 26. —The defense in the trial of Representative Nye of Pike county on the charge of soliciting a oribe placed on the stand a number of witnesses to impeach the character of the prosecuting witness, State Printer E. A. Crawford. The state has completed the presentation of its evidence. These included men who had been connected with Crawford in politics and also Ellis Rhoades, a Brown county farmer. They testified that the reputation of Crawford for veracity was not of the best. Rhoades, among others, asserted that he wouldn’t believe Crawford under oath. He was forced, however, to admit that his enmity toward Crawford was due to a debt he owed the state printer andl that Crawford had won a law suit against him. Probate Judge Cableman of Pike ’county, w’ho testified that he had been a friend of Dr. Nye several years; Edward Donavan, also of Pike county, a deputy fire marshal, and Otha Blake of Adams county were others whose evidence reflected upon Crawford’s character.

Nothing was brought out connecting Crawford with Adams county vote selling corruption, as was intimated, the previous day in questions directed at Crawford while on the stand. Judge Kinkead then barred the questions and followed up the ruling with a Second one to the same effect Representative B. F. Kimball, whose gerrymander bill is alleged to have been the basis of the Nye bribery charges, testified that Dr. Nye came to his seat in the state house one cay and said that for SI,OOO the gerrymander “could be put over.” Kimball’s memory failed him when pressed with questions on many points. T. C. Coyle of Spencerville, formed bill clerk in the senate, testified that Nye told him on April 28 that a certain man could be approached on the Bebhart canal bill, “if he (Coyle) had the money.” “If you get the money we can kill the bill,” was Dr. Nye’s further statement, according to Coyle. In the senate investigation consid*erable time was taken up by lawyers Arguing in a justice court over the arrest of two editors and an attorney who refused to testify before the committee. Chairman Todd of the committee said that the Ohio press was venal.
