The postoffice Scandal.

The reports Of the past investiga-
tions of the postoffice have at last
been made public. They should have
been made public property long ago.
They show the situation in the post
Office department to have been i'm de-
plorable condition. They seem to de-
mand explanation Of Perry Heath,
one-time Indianian. Why should
there be persons on the salary list Of
the Post0ffice Department who do no
work? Why should a person draw
two salaries? Why should persons be
carried on the salary roll when they
are not known in the department?
Then there were scrub women who
did not scrub, wash stands that would
not wash, car fare expenses with no
cars, and jobs secured by pull with
out number. The situation is serious

The EGG and Its Possibilities.

That always veraciOuS and invaria-
bly, interesting periodical, the London
Lancet, gives US some interesting
facts concerning eggs. The Lancet
says:
ave have more than once directed
the attention of our readers to the re-
markable preserving properties of
soluble glass or silicate of soda, and it
is surprising that this solution is not
used more generally for the preserva-
ton of egge. 1t is confidently stated
that a newly laid egg will keep for
many months when completely i'm.
mersed in 10 per cent solution of the
sillcate. and will then be indiStin-
guishable as regards appearances and
taste from an absolutely fresh egg.
We have ventured to give an
explanation of this remarkable pre-
serving effect by assuming that the
soluble silicate forms hard, CLASSY,
impermeable mass with the lime salts
in the substance of the shell, "a real
insoluble glass, 50 that the contents
are literally Theoretically sealed
against all external influences. This
is remarkable enough fact, but it is
now reported that chickens have been
Matched from eggs preserved for
twelve months in this way.
The recently reported success of this
method, by which life would appear to
be suspended, so to speak, would
seem to open up many possibilities in
regard to the transportation and sup
ply of food "

New Rural Routes.

The PoStoffice Department has re-
sumed the establishment of the rural
free delivery routes. which were held
up on account of the deficit in the ap-
preparation for that service, and a.
large number of routes will be put in
to operation on July l, the beginning
of the new fiscal year. The policy of
the department hereafter will be to
establish routes as rapidly as possible,
consistent with the best interests of
the service and economic administra-
ton. The rules as to the number Of
families required to be on the route in
order to secure the service probably
will be more strictly adhered to and
few exceptions made. The rule re-
quired that no service shall be estab-
lished on a route where there are less
than one hundred families. Unless ex-
ceptions are made for some special
reasons. routes are to be investigated
in the order in which the petitions
for them are fled.

In his address to the delegation Of
Jews that called on him to discuss the
recent Russian atrocities. the presi-
dent remarked that the Russian gov
eminent "takes the same view Of
those our own government takes of
the riots and lynchings which some
times occur in this country. but do
not characterize either our govern
ment or our people," 1t is clear from
the reports of the yisis of the Ameri-
can Jews to the president that while
we may. as people, sympathize with
the unfortunates who are at the mercy
of Russian bigotry and ferocity, there
is really little that We can do to amel-
iorate their conditsons. Our govern
ment is anxious to give the car the
benefit of every doubt.
From the diplomatic point of view
this is the only thing to do. And in
referring to our national disgrace in
the lynchings and riotings that are
reported daily in the press, the presi-
dent admitted our moral weakness as
a protesting power.
In this concrete instance of the
slaughter OF the Russian Jews, we are
brought face to face with the horror
of such forms of violence wherever
found. The spectacle of the people
of one race destroying their brother
man in this wholesale way is not edi-
flying. But it is not pleasanter to
contemplate In Indiana or Kentucky
than it is in Russia or Turkey. The
only difference is that we give a
peculiar guaranty to the people
within our borders, inSuring them
against just such outrages. We are
sorry for Russia, but we must at the
same time oe sorry for ourselves, so
long as we tolerate mobS and lynch
gs.-IndianapoliS Star.

Beer and Water United.

There is a very interesting and
anomalous situation in this city,
where the editor of the organ of the
state liquor dealers, DR.. j. Frank Cal.
len, and the chairman of the prohibit
tion central committee, Charles E.
Newlin. are working hand in glove.
The organ of the saloon men is the
Knights of Fidelity News. Editor
Callen has created somewhat of SEN
satlon by printing the following edi-
torial:
"Mr. Newlin strikes the keynote
when he says that there are other
things than the legitimate liquor
traffic involved in the city campaign
this year, and thousands of good
voters will help him to secure the
needed reforms along those lines. He
can count on the Knights of Fidelity
News every time when he picks up
the cudgel for fight like that. We,
too, are after the Legitimate trade. "
This is perhaps the only instance on
record where beer and cold water
have joined forces in grand move
ment. Editor Callen has long been
engaged in making fight against
whisky groceries. and drug stores
that sell liquor without paying the re-
tail tax. He holds that the legiti-
mate saloonkeepers, who pay the gov
eminent large sums for the privilege
of carrying on their business. are en-
titled to the protection Of law and the
cold water advocates agree with this
idea perfectly. Editor Callen and
Chairman Nexlin are great friends.
Although be talks about liquor and
writes about it add doubtless beholds
visions of good old Kentucky bourbon
in his dreams, DR.. Callen is never
known to touch a drop of anything
intoxicating. -Indianapolis Sentinel.

Taking Part in Politics.

The commencement orator of
Notre Dame advises his hearers to
'take part in politics. ,; The advice
is good if it if explained. But poll
tics has come TO be sort of misun-
derstood term, limited TO the strug-
gle for office holding. If the orator
had advised taking part in the active
duties of cltizenship-voting, shap-
ing principles, selecting good men for
office, ETC., he would have found full
endorsement. But politics as now
practiced is not high calling. Citi-
zenship is of the most exalted, and its
duties most exacting of good men.

did field for the exercise of all quail
ties that make the man.-Elkhart

Let the People Rule.

The late Judge Horace P. Biddle,
Of Logansport, was a man of much
learning and close observer of men.
A leaf from his scrap book contains
the following concerning the wrongs
OF government: 1.-THE big brains,
broad breasts, warm hearts and strong
hands Of the people, are the only safe
reliance in government. Though
they often commit errors unknow-
ingly, they very soon knowingly cor
rect them. In all governments by
one, or a few, some will knowingly
commit errors whenever profitable to
their classes, and will not knowingly
correct them, except by some compul-
sion-generally revolution. Univer-
sal history during four thousand years
proves these facts to be true, by ex-
perience.

ing. Two of the in-numerable
unions engaged on these struc.
lures could not agree concerning
some feature of the work and strikes
were ordered involving all the unions
except the one as to which complaint
was made.
In these cases, therefore, the inter.
ests of the public, OF private investors
and of hundreds of workingmen are
lightly sacrificed because there is nc
authority in so-called organized labor
which is competent to settle beg
carly quarrel between two unions en-
ployed upon the same job.
1t is surprising that these and many
other manifestations of the chaos pre-
vailing in organized labor do not dis
pei to some extent the terrorism which
the unions exert over industry and
politics
As matter of fact, organized labor
cannot agree on anything. When EN-.
ployers give it its own way in every
thing it qdaarels and strikes and
fights Just the sane as it does when 1T
is resisted in some respects.
Organized labor is bluff which car
ries the DAY, as rule, only when it
comes in contact with weak knees and
Eighty heads. 1t is the biggest bluff
of all in politics. where it never yet
was able to unite for a common pur-
pose and where its influence is no
more to be considered than would be
the influence of organizations of blue
eyed men, tall men or short men.
AS compared with the great hosts
of men aud women who work for a
living and who are in every way as re-
spectacle as the members Of any or
ganization. the forces of union labor
are insignificant. Even If they could
agree on anything they would not be
particularly formidable. but they can
not agree. They divide into parties
and factions the same as other people
