WASHINGToN. Jan. 80, 1919.
To tie Editor of hr State Journal:
Sill, / find myself quoted in certain
journals Of your State as authority for the
charge that Judge Embree has fraudulent
~ taken some $500 more than he was
entitled TO Tor mileage. as member OF
Congress. | never made any such charge.
That some members hare taken more than
was due them, under a fair construction
Of tho law, believe, though think did
not charge This in my mileage expose
That the law itself is loose, vicious, une-
quail, aud prodigal, | hare charged and
sndcavored to show by exhibiting its prac.
teal operation. The public must Judge
of my success in that attempt. To make
the whole matter familiar and plain to the
common understanding, | was obliged 10
many members, who insisted and insist
that the people cannot understand my ex-
pose otherwise than as charge that the
great body Of Congressman had design
eddy and fraudulcntly taken money from
the treasury to which they were not law
fully entitled. expressly disclaimed this
at the outset; and again, in replying to
Mr.. Schenck's cross examination, sta
ted explicitly that | dit net consider it
dishonorablc for member to take all that
q fair construction Of the existing law
gave him, but ! should consider it wrong
in one TO refuse 10 correct the defects Of
the law, now that they are brought palpa.
bly, home to his understanding; and am
confident that the people can comprehend
80 plain a distinction as this quite as well
as members Of Congress. What | ORR
cinally demanded and still labor for is n
rcrisiin Of the lac which shall conform it
to tho dictates Of equity and equality.
Of such a revision Judge Embree has
long been a Jealous and most efficient adj.
vocate. On the lth Of December. while
l was preparing my expose, and before he
either did or could know that ! proposed
10 do any thing on the subject, he intro
duced resolution looking to important
and iudicious retrcnchmcnts in nearly
every branch Of the public service. and
especially prescribing this very reform of
mileage, by substituting direct for circuit
tous routes. That reform he has since
advocated on the floor with decided abili-
ty and urgency, and has on every occa-
sion zealously supported.

respected competitor for governor Of your

GrWe commend the following sensible
advice 10 anxious and nervous mothers.
We think oftryingt to have the mode adopt
ed in our households:
The Way to tend q Baby.
A Chippewa Indian has been lcc.uring
in Hartford, where, in lecture, accord
ing 10 the Times, he advised the ladies Of
Hartford 70 tie their babies, as soon as they
were born, to a board, bind them down
tight, and keep them there most of the
time, till they are ten months old '.Pu.
q hoop round the head,' he says, "and
then when the board gets knocked over, it
won't break the child's nose" lie sums
up other advantages as follows: you
see. ladies', (holding up a speci,nen.) the
child's hands arc tied down, so it can't
scratch its own eyes out. and cant scratch
its mothers breast, too: il can't wriggle
about and get very iird; il can tbend over,
and must grow straightforward the mother
goes out after herbs, she can hang it Oh
tree, and snakes can I bite il; when it cries,
the mother can swing it across her back
and rock il so-(swaying lis body to and
troll and can carry it great distances in
this manner, too; can sit it up side Of the
wigwam. very handy; and when canoe
turns over, the child swim OFF on the board
no. drown; and its back don't break across
his mothers arm, because the board sup
ports il; the child can't crawl into the fire
and burn up, too-can leave il long time,
all safe-so think this much best way,
ladies-much best"
Tho ladies gave in their assent by q
general laugh.
