The report Of Messrs. Conrad and
BOnaparte, on the charges of S. w.
TullOch, former cashier of the Wash
ington city postottice, just made public,
severely deals with many prominent
politicians and officials.
Perry Heath, ex-assistant postmaster
general, is directly accused of being
personally responsible for fraudulent
appointments. His defense is declared
ito be altogether insufficient and no
less unsatisfactory in substance than
in FORM
Smith Scored, Too.
Former Postmaster General Smith,
Former Postmaster Willett of Wash

r. J. Tracewell are condemned for
sharing the responsibilities of their Of
fies. Speaking of appointments, the
report says,
$50 far as indicated by the papers
submitted to us the persons directly
responsible for these fraudulent EN-
pigments were Messrs. Perry Heath
and George W. Beavers. This respon-
siblity extends, in some measure, to
the late postmaster general, who ap-
pears to have tolerated the practice
after notice of it's existence, and to the
late and the present postmasters at
Washington"
Auditor Castle is charged with hav-
ing allowed Mr. Beavers "a fraudulent
claim for expenses, which Mr.. Cas-
ties own memorandum showed real
ly constituted salary for an office
which Beavers could not and did not
legally hold"
Summary of Report.
The conclusions of the report in
brief are:
That discreditable abuses existed
during the years 1885, 1899 and 1900.
That there was criminal conduct on
the part of various public officials.
That there is a possibility that these
abuses continued after 1900.
That the persons responsible for the
abuses and resulting scandals appear
to have been Perry S. Heath and
George w. Beavers.
That there was a fraudulent en-
plOyment of subordinates in postofices
about to become classified so as to Sc
cure their admission into the service
without examination.
That there was conspiracy to de-
fraud the government by stuffed pay
rolls.

Cost Of Living.
fThe World Today.1

i
From many persons the complaint is
heard that the cost of living is increas-
ing. Year by year rents have been ris-
ing, building material has become
dearer, while prices OF foodstuffs have
steadily advanced beef especially be-
ing too expensive for people of moder-
ate means. What were formerly con-
sidered everyday necessities, are now
classified as luxuries. Persons dispos-
ed to be economical find it necessary
to live on the plainest fare.
AS for the important items of fuel.
coal and wood. were never before SO
hard to get. Clothing too has gone up;
at least, tailor made clothes of the same
quality cost more than in 1900 and 1901.
In general, it may be said that the
things that go to make life enjoyable,
are SO much higher than they We're a
few years ago that saving seems to be
ont of the question for the average
wage worker. or the clerk receiving a
moderate salary-say from $40 to $50
a month. Along with the upward move
ment of prices wages have increased
from time to time but not as fast as
expenses have increased. AS a result,
the problem of how to live is serious
one.
Europeans who come to America find
II more difficult to get along here with
the same degree of comfort that they
could In the old world; and. on the
other hand Americans who go abroad
find many items much less costly than
here. Those emigrating from Southern

The enterprise that finds 1t possible to

make contractors timid and contracts
conditional. It is likely that the strikes

the contraction OF business thru the

TREES,
TREES.
IMashington. Ia. Press.l

washington, Ia, PreSs.l
A tree for ornament should be plant
ed in strategic position; put where
it may stay and be itself, and not have
to be moved, or trimmed up to allow
a view.
No use to have tree If the owner
spells it. We botch evergreens right
along.
A pine, fir, cedar etc, was never in
tended by the creator to be palm
in shape; they are OF wholly differ
ent type. Nature meant to conceal the
trunk of an evergreen tree growing out
in the open, as she hides the spine In
a biped. And trimmed up evergreen
is an abomination. Its beauty is all
sacrificed by chopping. Cut it down. If
you will, but do not cut the lower
branches. You may shear the ends of
the bows on the south exposure, that
the excess of sunlight lengthens un-
duly. just as one may have his own
scraggy hairs cut, but an evergreen
cut In the form of an open umbrella
or parasol, is disagreeable sight.
We do not SO much observe arbor day
by setting tree, as by giving 1t right
setting. That is as important in plant
ing a tree as in hanging picture.
We hang it in the best possible light:
and tree planting belongs to landscape
gardening and is an art, or should be.
And in a town or city on the streets.
| 1t Is we'll to have a concert Of neigh
bors, to plant trees whose leaves give
d scale of green hues. 1t is astonishing
to note how many shades of green there
are in foliage. A street, by little
care and selection, can be made to
show the whole gamut of green tints.
It is a color scheme that is worth
while, far SURPRISING in scope that OBJ
served in house and table decorations,
as the landscape is larger than suite
of rooms.
A stript tree, when its image is etch-
ed on the black, threatening back
ground of winter sky, is finer than a
full foliaged one. Each branch is a
cluster of electric bolts, and the whole
mass Of top looks electrical and as full
of energy and subtlety as knot of
snakes. The stout, crooked arms of an
oak, in winter, are sort Of mute agony
like the LAGOON, and impresses one hike
that piece of statuary. And the deli
cate. penciled branches and twigs of
! an elm and birch, set on a sky of artic
tempest, are as lovely as the beautiful
traccry of red veins on human eye
lbcl. or an active enchantment of a
streak of lightning athWart thunder
head. Each leaps like live thunder
