Mr. Sammis might well prav to bede-

. be true that Mr. Sanlniis makes no show
in the papers of regard for the criticisms
upon his action in the Aekert matter. he
does not so well conceal his feelings
among his associates. The time has gone
by when a public official can ignore eith-
er the press or his colistituencv.‘ and the
silly talk about "political effect" is bet
neatli notice. The people have learned
that; politics means government. and
that they have an interest in them. and
are respinslble for who adliiiliisters the
government. Assumed virtues must
stand the tcst of trial otherwise they
don‘t pass current. Apolcgists for law
