INSPECTORS AT WORK.
MI. Madden Apparently Not Concerned
at the Investigation.

az Lue AuVtSL1SaClOu.
Whatever investiga ton there is in the
office of the third assistant postmaster gen.
eral is being done with the utmost secrecy,
and If appearances are any indication of in
ward feelings neither Mr.. Madden, the
official who has been said to, be under
charges of a serious nature. NOR Mr.. Bris-
tow in whose hands the investigation has
been placed is at all worried as to the final
result.
Post office inspectors are at work on the
books Of Mr.. Madden's office. but their
movements are as carefully guarded as the
plans of an army during campaign. Mr..
Madden said today that he was not aware
that there was an investigation in progress
in his Office but he would not deny that
there was and then he smiled. Mr.. Bris-
tow said that he had not taken much inter-
est in the affairs of the office Of the third
assistant, and then he also smiled.
Regarding the charges that Mr.. Madden
ordered stamps printed in inverted style
and that he profited from the sale of these
specimens to stamp collectors there Is lit
tie belief by persons having an acquaint-
ance with that official or the branch Of the
service with which he is identified that he
has been guilty Of any dishonest act. "A
member of the cabinet, speaking Of the
charges, said:
For years past it has been the custom
for the parties having the contract Tor
printing the stamps to furnish the third as
sistant postmaster general with what are
known as proof sets Of the series printed
Contrary to the general impression, these
proofs are printed on cardboard and are OF
no commercial value, being simply spec1-
ments In this instance the contractor was
the government printing office. and 1t is
stated on the highest authority that fewer
sets were called for than ever before"
Mr.. Madden feels that he has been I'M
fairly treated by the originator OF the story,
and says that it is villification, and that
he is aware of the author. Further than
this he cannot be led to declare himself.
but his manner indicates that after the
investigation shall have cleared him Of the
stigma attached to the charges of dis
honesty there may be another sort of
action, in which he will be the prosecuting
side.

IN A BALLOON AGAIN.

Forgetting the sad fate of Andree who
went to the Pole In a balloon and
WAS never heard Of again, aeronauts are
again commencing to discuss the ques-
ton Of flying over the Icepsck to the
coveted goal in the Arctic. King Oscar
OF Sweden, il appears ,has contributed
$4,000 kroner toward the equipment Of
such an expedition. This has started
the discussion, Professor Hozen, an
aeronaut OF this country is quoted by
the New York World as follows;

"EIlJAH'S" HOST.

Dowe, now in the Madison Square
Garden, as follows
"The rank and file Of the host Is made
up of men and women whose lives have
been a dull, gray routine OF hardship

zation that would allow them 20 wear a

that the religious features are but the

could write, while - per cent OF them
can now do so. Taking the entire con-
tlnent Of Europe, there has been an
Increase Of 1916 per cent IN the number
Of persons who can write in the period
named, though the population has in
creased only 30 per cent Germany and
the United States are the two coun-
tries that show least educational prog
ress IN the period under review for the
reason that 80 per cent of their people
had elementary knowledge In 1910, so
that the large progress since made by
other nations was for them impossible.
France now leads the march OF educa-
ton In Europe. While her population
has been almost at a standstil for
forty years past, her annual expendi-
ture on popular education Is five times
as great as II was In 1860.
But this great Increase OF knowledge
has not been followed by a correspon-
Ing decrease In crime. Die Woche
claims that IN Germany which is not
u'hNih AslNltAtlh III 'bH'hh'ilf epNNHANi
criminals have increased In recent
years four times ny fast as the popula
ton Professor Lombroso has, II seems,
arrived at practically the same result.
He says that crimes Of violence and
brutality have been fewer since educa-
tlon became general, while the crimes
Of craft and cunning, such as embez-
element forgery and frauds Of all kinds,
have multiplied.
This Is no more than could be ex.
pected, Education does not change the
moral character OF anyone. IL may inn
part polish to the surface II may be
laid on as veneer, but It does not
change pine into mahogany. People do
not do wrong because they know no
better. Most eyil-doers know better
than they act. 1t is not more knowl-
edge that they need, but regenerating
power that viii change their very ma
lures and make them love virtue more
than vice. There is only one power
that ia efficient as force of regenera-
ton, and that is the Gospel, when ac-
cepted In It's fulness.
