THE VICE OF ABsENTEEIsM.

The vice of absenteeism on the part of
public officers Is getting to be one of the
most prominent evils IN our governmental
system. The people elect, or the executive
authorities of our government appoint,
certain persons to perform gwen public
duties and pay them literally to devote
their whole time to the business, yet in a
majority OF cases half or more of that time
is given to private business or to recrea-
ton and pleasure seeking In Illinois
our Legislators draw their pay regularly
and without scruple for seven days work
in every week, yet 1t Is notorious tina. they
never give over three days of the week on
an average to the peoples business, while
governors and other higher officers spend
half their time in electioneering rambles
over the state, either to secure their own
reelection or elevation TO higher Offices
The New York Sun Of late date has a
pungent article on this vice Of absentee
ism as manifested In the case of our ma
tional officials, from which we make thu
following extract:

The secretary of the Treasury refreshed
himself with an excursion on the great
LAKE s ON a revenue cutter maintained by
the department of which he Is the present
chief. Senator longer Of Michigan, en-
Outraged by this example, took his family
on tree excursion over the same waters
IN another revenue cutter. Senator Hale,
who, as a memoer of the Committee on
Appropriations, had charge of the Naval
obhery pill at the las, session, was a con-
spcuous guest recently on the Tallapoosa
Other Senators and Representatives have
proiited by supposed privilege OF squan-
derng the peoples money without &C
countahiliiy.
The President, the Secretary of War
tie lieutenant General OF the Army, ana
number Of their guests have just come
from a months tour in the tar west, the
supplies ard equipments for which were
taken from the frontier military posts, ana
were paid for from the regular appropri-
atoms.
These scandalous abuses of power have
attracted the attention OF the country, anu
have provoked the proper criticism OF the
independent press, without any action on
the part OF Congress. There Is no secret
about the failure of the legislative branch
10 make the executive branch answerabt
for oilensrs deserving the sevcrest censurt
and penalties.
How ARE Senators and Representatives to
condemn and rebuke the President, the
Cabinet, the heads OF bureaus, the chiefs
OF divisions, and other responsible officials
when they themselves are guilty OF The
worst forms of abSentccism? They receive
literal salaries and many valuable per
qu'stes and privileges for giving time and
Thought to the public business. But the
lelin0uents who abandon their posts OF
duty and who are absorbed in their per
sonal affairs form very large proportion
o Congress.
\ 4 this dem DrallzatlOn IN public lie Is
one of the consequences OF long continued
control Of the Government by single par
~ Reform is not possible politically
while this domination Continues. There
fore the short cut for retrenchment and for
honest administration Is 20 bring in new
men with clean bands, and to turn the old
rascals out.
