Indian Scandal THO Most Unsavoy.

The Indian scandal is the most un-
savory with which the government

able desire on the part Of almost every
government official who has the oppor-
tunity to use his position OF RESPONSE
bility and trust for the purpose of
making money illegitimately, The
postal scandal was 4 trivial matter in
comparison when viewed in this light.
