Hardly had the Springfield house of
representatives refused to vote to censure
the chief of the Washington salary grab
bers ere that body of virtuous little politi-
clans proceeded to engage in little salary
grabbing on personal account. The reso-
luton adopted on last Friday, directing
the secretary of state to issue stationery
and other 'perquisities'' for the use Of
members on the requisition of the clerk
and door keeper, was steal in the plaines'
and most distinct sense of the word. Ii
was an act of deliberate and premeditated
larceny upon the treasury, no less wicked
in character than the Washington salary
steal, and was more wicked, even, thar
that, for the reason that it was plair
evasion of the letter and intent of the con
stitution. By it, the house at Springfield
has earned the right to be known as thu
Illinois house of salary grabbers.

The Pass System.

Western railway lines have brought the
pass system down to an exchange Of free
passes for the use of three or four high
officials of the various other roads through
out the Union. All other applicants are
left out in the cold, with the exception
of editors who publish the time cards and
are paid in 1,OO0-mile tickets. The price
of the advertisements range from 800 tC
1920, which allows them three or four l..
OOO-mile tickets, at the usual rate of cents
mile.
But the eastern roads represented il
Chicago maintain their former position, anc
issue passes at the discretion of the Super
intendent The nuisance has, however
been modified in wonderful degree dur
ing the past year, and the roads do not is
sue free tickets except under strong re
strictions, and when there is showing o
returns for the privilege. For instance
they issue free pass for the publication
of their usual advertisements in journal
which they deem worthy, and an arrange
ment is made for the benefit of stock men

The Goodbye Hospitality.

The half of hospitality lies in the
speeding of parting guests. Lavish well
comes are easily enough bestowed, but
the hospitable though must be very gen
uine, indeed, which dares to leave the
guest as free and welcome to go as to
come. We all suffer, now and then, from
undue urging to stay when we prefer to
go, and nearly every one of US is himself
a sinner in this regard, too. No sooner
does the guest intimate a wish to term
i, ate his visit than we fly in the face of
his desire, and urge him TO stay longer,
We sometimes do this, too, lido we not?1
as a matter of duty, when. in our hearts,
we care very little whether the guest
goes or stays. We feel ourselves bound
to show our appreciation of our friends
visit by asking that he prolong it. Now,
true hospitality ought to learn its lesson
better than this.
Our efforts should be from first to last
TO make our friends visit thoroughly
pleasant and agreeable to him. 1t is the
desire to do this which prompts US to
offer him the most comfortable chair and
to set our best viands, if he break bread
with u.s. 1t is that he may enjoy his stay
that we talk only upon agreeable topics.
In short, from the time he crosses cur
threshold until he rises to leave we court
eously endeavor to make the moments
slip by as pleasantly as possible. But
the moment he asks for his hat our court
esy fails us. Hitherto we have studied
to anticipate and to CRAFTY his every wish.
Now that he wishes to go, however, we
endeavor to thwart his pleasure. We
selfshly try to turn him from his purpose
to ours. We wish him to stay, while he
wishes to go. Courtesy would prompt us
to give his wish precedence to our own,
but, "a a rule, we ask him to sacrifice his
| own to our pleasure.
