Uncle Sam Robbed.

Washington dispatch: Senator Chand-
ler. is probing into Navy Department
scandal of large proportions. BY direc-
ton Of the Senate the Senate Committee
on Naval Affairs will inquire into various
little matters relating to the construction
Of warships. and incidentally it will be
learned to what extent officers of the Ord
nance Bureau are interested in patent
processes by which, it is said, the Gov
eminent Is robbed by extortionate charges
out of between $5OO,OO0 and $4,000 on
every vessel built. Secretary Herbert
wanted to let the contracts for the two
warships about to be built, as it was
thought better results could be obtained
thereby, but he found himself strongly
antagOnized by the Ordnance Bureau.
though the other experts of the depart
ment cordially Endorsed the position he
had taken. The stubborn resistance Of
the Ordnance Bureau finally prevailed,
and the Secretary announced his intenti) IN
to let the contracts in the old way. This
decision set tongues wagging, and mem-
bers of Congress were solemnly assured
that there was rank rottenness In the
Navy Department and that officials were
using their positions to divert public mon
eys to their own pockets by corruptly iu-
fuencing contracts, whereby the Govern
ment was forced into buying patented
processes in which they were financially
interested. The instructions given The
Naval Committee will afford an oppor
tunity for investigation into the alleged
abuses 1t will also serve to prevent the
guilty parties from escaping by the usual
method of defeating inquiry. The charges
are now being aired, and the Navy De-
partment must purge itself by proving
the charges to be unfounded or else locate
and cast out the guilty officers who are
accused of bringing discredt on the coun-
try and disgrace upon the department.

we seldom heed it unless it comes to us
in as forcible a manner as it is reported
to have come to Franklin, Il is said that
Benjamin Franklin, the American, was
not unlike other boys in his love of big
words, and that one day he told bis father
that he had swallowed some acephalous
molluses, whereupon his alarmed parent
shrieked for help. The mother came in
with warm water, and forced half a
gallon down Benjamin's throat, then held
him upside down, the father saying
"If we don't get those out of Bonnie
he'll be poisoned sure"
When Benjamin was allowed to get his
breath, he explained that the articles he
referred to were oysters. His father was
SO indignant that he whipped him fol
frightening the family. Franklin nevel
afterward used a word Of two syllsbles
when a monosyllahle would do.
