We must develop our industries but at the same time we must not lose sigh. 01 the farmer. Agiiculture is the backbone of American life. Worse Than Blackmail. The era of posthumous scandals persists. Recently Rupert Hughes, a current fiction writer, under took to depict the real George Washington and presented a pic ture which has been widely pre sented as a slander upon the name and a smirch upon the fame of the first president. Of course, only a few who are prone to believe evil of everybody and to whom the fame of no one is sacred will swal low the Hughes characterization of the Father of the Country. Now we have another and even more surprising instance of illus tration of the fact that no man's character is secure from the weav ers of scandal. We refer to the re cent publication by a certain Cap tain Peter Wright, Englishman, ir. a volume called “Potraits and Critics,” in which William E. Gladstone, veteran British states man, is said to have been guilty of moral lapses and was hypocriti cal in his pretences of morality. And .his too of the foremost fig ure of the Victorian era. honored and trusted by the queen herself! If the Victorian age is noted for anything, it is for the rigid stand ards cf morality and conduct gen erally enforced by the queen and the positive predtry prevailing during the la er decades of her reign. The significant Tart of such publications is that they come years after they might be effec tually disproved and forever set at rest by the mat. slandered. Glad stone died full of years and honors and with a spotless reputation as to morals and adherence. Assum ing that his lapses from morality as alleged by a comparatively un known writer of today, occurred during his earlier years when fiery youth held sway, it necessar ily follows that this Peter Wright could not have had any firsthand or personal knowledge of the lap ses he charges to the famous British prime minister. Nor is it conceivable that had Mr. Glad stone been guilty of scandalous conduct or immorality that his po litical foes would not have uncov ered and ventilated a story which would noi only have defeated him, but wrecked his whole career. This makes the Wright story ..ut terly incredible. Small wonder that \ isaount Gladstone, son of the former prime minister, has flatly denounced the Wright publication.' as far as it relates vo his father, as a lie. The posthumous slanders of emi nent men may hr- properly charac terised >■ gho.ulish and are evi dently atrinuiahle to a de-ire to capitalize- such appeals to the groundings, .0 the financial bene fit of the writer. The difference between such posthumous siandeis and blackmail 1 - that the latter i not so discreditable as blackening the name or discrediting the fame of a man lossy dead and for the sake of selling the story.—(ireens boro Record.
