penses: the valuable services rendered cost
nothing But now objection is made even to
the appropriation OF 5000. the principal
reason advanced for the objection being the
unquestionable fact-as stated by Delegate
- scarcely a matter ever preached in Con-
gress or in the Department with reference
to the Indian service that these people are
not around nosing in" Better argument
for the continued existence of the board Of
commissioners could hardly be made, for
only By eternal vigilance can the old-time
corruption be prevented from reasserting
itself. Not that the officials of the Indian
office would connive at dishonesty. for they

else that supervision over contractors which
experience has shown to be necessary.
Prior to the organization Of the board Of
commissioners there was no branch Of the
public service SO rich In scandal or SO profit
able to the members Of the ring as that
Of Indian affairs. but with the incoming Of
this organization the thieves who had fat
tened at the expense Of both the appro-
priative source and those who were suppos-
ed to be benefited were driven either into
other fields, or into discreditable obscurity.
Now 1t Is proposed to discourage the board
of commissioners out of existence by will
full failure to appropriate the minute sum
called for by expenses necessarily incurred.
The effort will probably fail-it certainly
deserves to-for the chances are that the
board will really care but little for the
small amount involved. and will. II neces-
sary, pay its own expenses. If it IL COM
PEELED to do this then Congress will have
something else besides the income-tax pro-
position to be ashamed Of.

The semi-official announcement has been

PEELED to work day in and day out in apart

of the miserable ventilation GO the public

on the part of some OF the lesser officials
of the administration to strain the prin-

meanness and niggardly parsimony, but
1t is to be sincerely hoped that they will

factors in their policy of penuriousness

The great speed developed by the new
cruiser Minneapolis excels considerably
that made by the cruiser Columbia on the

that when the official run is made the Min
reapolis will be able to maintain its lead.
Not unnaturally the people Of the District
Of Columbia would have preferred that
their pet should have maintained undis-
turbed the supremacy which, for awhile, it
had, but there is no room for complaint or
for envy. so long as the record-breaker is
an American vessel The two triple-screw
cruisers are conclusive testimony that the
American shipbuilder knows just a little
bit more about the shipbuilding business
than those abroad who have been for many
