They arc denying it already, but the word picture palnjed by Mrs Scott's lawyer of a Kansas states man carrying a whole pltcherful of liquor about' the steamship Cristobal, Is pretty vivid. Denials may not provo sufficient. . There may havu to be a regular investi gation. An investigation into tho Wash ington Fin art set's morals wouldn't be so easy. What officialdom fears Is that Scott's side of the story will give the country the impression that the capital hasn't got any. This -wouldn't bo fair. A great many of those In the officlul class live as decorously as anybody. All tho same, none but very un sophisticated Washlngtons are un aware that their town is pretty naughty. They look on it lndu gently but are quite conscious tin the "provinces" are extremely apt to raise a howl If they find out about It.
