NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 6, 1917.
It often occurs that a diplomat U
wl'hdrawn trom a Capital but until
lately the spectacle has seldom been
observed of a capital withdrawn from
a diplomat. American Minister
Voptcka is the latest to have his Held
of labor removed from beneath his
feet. Ha might have followed the
Roumanian archies from Bucharest #o
Jessy. Then possibly he would have
retained his job for a while longer
at least
Young Lewis who committed sui
icde when the officers came to urrest
him as a suspect in connection with
the murder of the divinely formed
artist s model, Oace Roberta, had
doubtless already repented of his folly
and considered that the best wav
out of his sea of troubles wus to end
them. It would have been better for
h>m and his people too if he had lopt
out of the whole thing from the be
ginning. Hut after going a ways
with the gul he should have known
she was not worth killing.
Ever since election night some one
or other member of congress has been
trying to start an Investigation. They
were going to Investigate the election
methods In New Hampshire before
the ballots 'were much more than
thico quarters counted. They had
sleuths, whose business It Is to In-ik
after counterfeiters, smugglers,
moonshiners and public enemies gen
•islly, sent to Minnesota, North Da
kota and Missouri to scars the re
publican election Judges into being
good A few scores were arrested but
that seemed to be about all there
wus of It. Then many charges were
msde of misuse of money In the elec
tion of senators and representatives,
always by republicans of course. Con
gress would Investigate, would not
allow such men to take their seats
and a lot more of such talk which is
customary to a certain stamp of man
who has been defeated. And out of
all these threats has emerged Just
one little bill before congress to limit
the amount of money spent In a pres
idential campaign.
Then there came the great selling
market following the president's uote.
Hptculators had discounted the Her
man peace proposal and the market
wus not greatly uffected by It. The
prrsldent had repeatedly said that he
intended to do nothing more with the
proposal than forward It to the vari
ous entente capitals. He said he <ld
not feel culled on to take any ac'lon
In the matter until the allies had re
plied. To the amazement of nearly
everyone, however, he did do some

tb'ng and did It very quickly too.
Over night he seemed to change Ms
mind whicn h«* had a perfect right to
do and for which he doubtless had
‘eiy good re-aeons. Wall street spec
ulators encounlerd a heavy selling
movement they could not understand
until the news came on the ticker
Uu.1 the presMLm had made a peace
suggestion to the belligerents
Then the light dawned upon the
minds especially of the veterans who
had seen many surprising ups and
downs In the prices of stocks. The
wise old oxi. knew that somebody 'C
Washington had sent inside news to
their friends a little ahead of the
public announcement. They saw the
game and began to play bear them
selves. There was almost a panic.
Over three million shares were traded
in—by far the bigg st days’ transac
tions In securities since such things
became chips for men to gamble with.
Now, among the wise foxes woo
knew what was up as soon as he saw
the lay-out was Thomas W Lawson,
i ■ 1 . ston. He Is a man of active,
not to say shifty, mind. He loves
the l.melight. Most of all he delights
in matching his wondei fully acute
mind against the minds of corporation
men aid ne < Hen makes his oppon
ents lock like pigmies. He fought H.
H. Rogers when that man was In his
prime and was reputed to be the
k.ng of big business and whipped him
so badly that Rogers shrivelled up
and died. Lawson despises most
vongr~« ,'ia-n end says they -irj n
competents. four-flushers, S'-IX-seek*
ers, petty piffl.ng p ddlers who have
neither the courage, brains or honesty
to transact the public business. In
short Lawson has but a poor idea
of most of our public men. W’hen
Law3on first discerned that a leak
from Washington had started a group
of men on the road to millions In
profits his first move was to go along
that road and gather his full share
of the swag. Then he whipped about
and played the market back the
other way and added more credits to
his bank accounts.
This having been done he rais'd
up his voice and yelled lustily, "Stop
thief.” He made accusations of
Washington crookedness perhaps be
fore he had any idea as to who was
guilty. But such is the man’s astute
ness that it was not long before he
b gan to nose out the African In the
forest. Doubtless he followed his
usual method and hired detectives and
bribed hirelings. At any rate he got
the facts he wanted. Then he shout
id louder than ever until congress
men whom he Insinuated had a hand
in the pie ctttrmlned on an ’nvesti
gation. He dared them to, he made
sinister prophecies, and Implicated
them all until In sheer self defense
they determined on congressional In.
'^ilry. The rules committee of the
house were told to look Into the mat
a --
ter and rc-port In ten days.
The results were startling, for at
the end of the first day's labor the
committee had reasons for trunking
that Joe Tumulty, the president's
secretary, had given advance infor
mation of the president's note to
Banker Barney Baruck. The presi
dent's brelhwi• aiaw, y. If ‘o-uaig,
a New York broker, was cN^irod to
bo In on the deal as was also Otto
Kuhn and others. Broker CurtU «up- ;
pbed some of the alleged facts but1
probably back of It all is rollicking,'
sneering, masterful Tom Xjtwson.
The investigation has only begun.
Tumulty, Bolling, Baruck, Kuhn and
the rest are only charged, they art
not yet proved guilty The books of
the stock exchange, of the brokerage .
houses, and of banks are to be pro
duced before the experts of the house
committee. The books may be all '
fixed up so that they show nothing
or they may not Tumulty may be
perfectly innocent, or he may be
guilty and declared so. And the like
is true of the others. It is probable,
however, that where there if so much
smoke there is some fire. And wc
may be sure that the prospects nre
good this t.me for a real investiga
tion but whether congress relishes i !
or not is a question.
