OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
ON THE POSTAL FRAUDS

The firebrand which Seymour ". Tul-
loch has hurled into the Postofice De-
partment az Washington Is causing
rather fierce conhagration, despite the
palliative hand greEades thrown by
Postmaster General Payne.-Atlanta
Journal
Postmaster General Payne is convince
ed that there is nothing in the charges
made by Mr.. Tulloch- Possibly it was
unwise TO file these charges when Mr..
Payne is so busy.-Indianapolis News.
The reply OF the former Postmaster
General. Charles Emory Smith, to the
Tulioch charges is somewhat too generals
to be entirely satisfactory. but it may
fairly be assumed that the excellent Mr..
Smith never had more than very gen.
eral knowledge OF what was going On
IN the Postoffice Department-Buffalo
Express
Mr.. Perry S. Heath has contributed
his sweeping denial of all the charges
made by Mr.. Tulloch. In the meanwhile
Mr. Bristow continues his investigation,
and in due time the public will get
something besides charges and denials-
something like a verdict by a gentleman
of considerable experience as investi-
gator. and with a reputation for finding
out things.-Philadelph Record.
Ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith has good word TO say for the
administration OF the Postoffice Depart
ment under Postmaster General Payne's
immediate predecessor. And Smith
ought to have a thorough knowledge Of
all the inside facts thereto relating
Boston Herald.
1t may yet come to pass that POST
master General Payne's II deny will
become as familiar 10 the public as Gen.
eral Kitchener's II regret to report"
was formerly-NorfoIk Virginian- Pilot &
All the recent revelations are the d..
rect outcome of the conflict OF authority
between the new first assistant to Mr..
Smiths successor and the old chief OF
the free delivery division II is wholly
probable that these disclosures would
never have been made had il not been
for the changes following Mr.. Smiths
retirement, and the incompatibility be-
tween an old and new subordinate.
Truly much has come out OF little
Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Welcome the President!
Washington to Give Him Character
istic Greeting.

We can only repeat our cordial APP
probation and approval of the plans
announced for the Presidents recep-
ton at the Pennsylvania station to-
night. His homecoming after his
long and memorable Western trip
should be signalized by a genuine and
hearty welcome. The people of the
District can show their interest in and
admiration for the President by turn
ing out Ell masse to meet and greet
him, and to such a demonstration
purely personal and spontaneous, the
returning Chief Executive will be as
deeply sensible as to any of the more
elaborate marks of honor paid him in
his long and distant wanderings
We are sure that the simple recep-
ton planned will prove an over
whelming success.

School and Factory.
The Forcing Process Evident in One as
Well as the Other.


Apropos of the employment of
children IN factories, the argument
has of late been advanced that it is
not the factory so much as the public
school which Is endangering the yigor
OF the next generation; and physi-
cans statements are brought forward
IN evidence that thousands of children
are yearly injured in health by the
unhealthful conditions of school life.
Whether this somewhat extreme state
ment Is true or not, it is, of course, no
argument IN favor of the labor of
children in factoriel. As was said
long ago of slavery. it is a poor de-
tense OF any oppression to say that it
is no worse than some other bad
thing.
There is no doubt that In many city
schools the public money is spent in
ways most unwise for the children.
Attempts are made to cram college
course into the high school grades,
and the children are bewildered by
more different kinds of training at
once than any human brain can as
simulate. In many places there is no
proper playground for the child, ami
the school room is so arranged that
the light is bad for the eyes, which is
perhaps the worst fault of all. But
all this has nothing to do with the
evils of factory life for children. No
scheme of life which injuries a child's
health Is to be recommended on any
account.
But the school sometimes gets the
blame of such injury without deserv-
ing it. The general conditions of city
life must not be overlooked a large
proportion of the children who attend
school cannot live thoroughly health
full lives at home Their homes are
poor, unsanitary, and ill-ventilated.
Their food is often insufficient and
improper.
Coming of ancestors who lived in
poverty IN the open air, they grow up
in an environment of poverty in the
confined space of a city. In place of
the brown bread, savory stews, corn
pone, abundant vegetables and fruits
which children of a generation ago
ate for daily fare, the school children
Of today eat white bread, trashy cake,
candy, pie and much spice and pep
per. In place of milk they drink soda
water
The difference between the graded
school and the district school house is
not always in favor of the former,
but the difference between the chill
dren who attend these two institutions
of learning is likely to be caused
rather by home conditions than by the
school system.
In conclusion, when a mother takes
Tommy or Susie out of school because
the poor child has been studying so
hard and is nervous and oyerworked,
it is safe to investigate the case lit
tie and see how much candy and cake
enters into the poor child's daily diet,
how much time IS spent in the open
air, and how much nervous excite
ment of one kind or another is in
Guided IN the family life.

full of go and pluck. who. during the
thirty-five years of her life, has man
aged to accumulate q goodly amount of
experience and adventure
After figuring for three seasons IN
London society she commenced 20 find
the life of Mayfair fiat, stale and IN
profitable, and accordingly determined to
strike out on line OF her own. Her first
impulse was to study music. and after
spending several years in Germany with
this object IN view. she returned to
London with the intention OF making her
debut as a professional singer, but at
the last minute abandoned this plan and
turned her attention to medicine, which
she studied first at Brussels. where she

The Field of Politics.
Ali Quiet IN Ohio.

$500 THN~N 49, N~S.
After all the Ohio Republican conven-
ton, which threatened to produce dis
cord and dissension, was as quiet and
tame as a country picnic. In fact. it
was almost featureless, and would have
been uninteresting but for the speech
delivered by Senator Hanna, which
seemed to arouse some enthusiasm. The
President was Endorsed, and a demand
made for his nomination; Senator Han
ma was indorsed and demand made for
his return to the Senate; Col. Myron T.
Herrick was nominated for governor by
reclamation, as it has been evident for
long time that he would be named
without serious opposition, and the re-
matnder of the prepared slate went
through without any distractions having
been placed in It's way. That's all there
was to the Republican State convention
in Ohio, which has been the topic of
conversation In political circles for
more than a month.
Some may claim that it was a triumph
for Senator Foraker over his colleague,
but it is difficult to see where Senator
Hanna was the loser in any respect
His opposition to pledging this years
convention to the nomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which point he graceful
ly yielded at the request of the Presi-
dent. apparently lost him neither friends
nor prestige. although an effort was
made to show that 1t had. and It re-
mains to be seen whether or not he Will
be displaced by Senator Foraker as the
White House favorite.
Senator Hanna has no reason to be
displeased with the outcome, and little
cause for worry. He can go away and
rest for a time, and then return and en-
ter into the fall campaign. He is prac-
tically assured of the election of his
candidate for governor, and the only
fight he will have Will be for the cleo
ton of a Republican Legislature This
is the real contest in Ohio this year. but
even this should not, and probably does
not. cause the Senator any sleepless
nights or serious alarm.

Texan to Retire.

The announcement that the Hon.
TON" Ball. of Texas. has decided to
resign from Congress will be received
with regret not only by his party in the
House, but by his Republican associates
as well. He was in the House an un-
compromising Bryanite. and able TO set
forth his opinions vigorously. Besides,
he was one Texas Congressman who
dared TO wear silk hat in Washington
Despite this fact his constituency insist
ed upon returning him by large MAORI
ties, and he could doubtless have re
NAMED a member of the House in
definitely.
