'i THE DAILY TIDINGS EDITORIALI aö d ESTABLISHED IN 1876 G. J. READ, MANAGING EDITOR ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS Spirts and Politics Senator Borah anBoanoed the other day that the recent administration, of the alien property cnstodian’e office constitutes “ the worst sinkhole of iniquity” in the history of the American gov ernment The statqpent was made deliberately, after a study of the report, not yet made public, of Comptroller General McCarl, after a searching investigation pf the records. ; . This charge, coming from so exalted a Bouree would naturally be considered a sensation of the first order. A scandal worse than the scandals that have involved Fall and Daugherty and Forbes and Sinclair and Doheny and Jess Smith could be des cribed only as unimaginably bad. It would involve betrayals of publio duty and of public confidence unprecedented in American politics. It would en tail an ineradicable stain on the national honor and go far to destroy the already weakened popular faith in the integrity of government. ' Yet the charge created hardly a ripple of com ment, and no excitement K A day or two later came the accusations against Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker, two of the Star Spangled Banner’s foremost professional ath letes. They were alleged to have been guilty of conspiracy, seven year ago, to “ throw” a baseball game in the expectancy of cleaning up a few thous and dollars of dirty money betting on i t The newB has profoundly shocked the repub lic. It made many men and boys literally sick, as if an earthquake had been misconducting it self beneath their feet. It brought dolor and wee and black pessimism into millions of honest hearts. Everywhere the fear is expressed that it will “ ruin baseball.” It was unthinkable, it was calamitous,' that Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker should have sold their honor for a few pieces of silver. When such a thing could happen the skies might as well fall and make an end to everything. Why, one cannot help wondering, the contrast! Is it because we are more interested in base ball than in the science and art of government! Or is it because, in the nature -qf, things, we think that professional sportsmen should be more honorable than professional politicians, statesmen and public office holders! Why should not a self-governing people have the same concern in clean politics as in clean sports! Why should they not set up a standard for politic ians at least as exalted as those for ball players! We do not venture to answer these questions. We merely venture tp propound them. And we do that with only the remote hope that In a little thoughtful contemplation of them the American people might learn something to their own ad- The McPherson Case W .H .
