Hardly a day passes without its rec
ord of defalcation and embezzlement.
So prevalent has this become that it
eXcites merely momentary interest
as the facts are presented by the daily
press. 1t is safe to assume that not
more than half of the cases reach the
public eye, and when this is considered
we may well view the prevailing con-
ditions with some degree Of apprehen-
sion.
After all. is the moral standard at
present lower than it has been? Is it
not fair to assume that the press with
its increased facilities for furnishing
the news is now gathering it in such
profusion that crime and disorder are
everywhere apparently on The increase?
Your blood goes through your body
with jumps and bounds, carrying

Notwithstanding the predictions of
the democratic press of extravagant
appropriations by the republicans at
this session of Congress not a single
appropriation bill has passed which
contained an item which any democrat
characterized as extravagant. AS a
matter Of fact. some democrats are
strongly urging extravagant appropria-
tlons, to be spent in their own locali-
ties, for the River and Harbor Bill.
which the House Committee has almost
finished If there is any extravaganza
at this session of Congress, 1t is likely
to be found in that bill 1T seems i'm
possible for A River and Harbor bill
to get through any Congress that does
not contain appropriations that may
justly be called extravagant by those
who have no personal or neighborhood
