The House of POnte COrvO.
BY T. A. WATERMAN.


OF the emigrants coming to this land
none are esteemed more for their in
dustry, thrift, and qualities which
make for good citizenship generally
than the Swedes, and this suggests an
inquiry as to the present reigning house
in their fatherland The old Scandi-
navian monarchy in its origin goes
back to mythology, the Pagan god
Wooden being its reputed founder, but
all accounts agree that it was one of
the most most ancient in Europe. A
reputed descendant in the female line
of the ancient kings, Gustavus Vasa,
who had achieved the deliverance Of
his country from Denmark, ascended
the throne in 1928, the dynasty founded
by him continuing in power for nearly
three hundred years, when, it having
become weak or incompetent, causing
dissatisfaction and necessitating a
change of some kind, Sweden aston
ished Europe by electing as crown
prince with the right of succession,
Napoleon's Marshal Bernadotte, who
had in the French Revolution been a
red Republican, and on whose arm
had been tattooed The words, "Death
to tyrants.'
Bernadotte was OF peasant extrac-
ton. He had been a brave soldier,
had been made the marshal Of an en-
pire and had finally been created by
Napoleon, Prince of Ponte Corvo, from
which Zone of the class of mushroom
titles OF the first empire) the present
reigning house Of Sweden has since
been called. Bernadotte had b5en
not only brave but a humane COM
mander and had treated with kind
ness some Swedish prisoners, but the
main reason for electlng him to the
throne over other military chieftains
who had b,en proposed was the
thought (without sufficient warrant,
however, that this would please his
imperial master, whose brother Joseph
and Bernadotte had married sisters,
daughters OF a tradesmao. The
"Prince OF Ponte Corvo" succeeded In
1918 to the throne as Charles XIV.
He took the side of his adopted coun-
try In the struggle with his former
countrymen and did much In his
vigorous reign 10 advance her material
prosperity, being succeeded by his son
Oscar /, also French by birth, who was
succeeded by his sons Charles XIV. and
the present King Oscar III.
| Notwithstanding the inevitable dis
satisfaction OF some Vasa partisans,

Only n Beginning.

SO obvious becomes the fact OF loose
and extravagant methods in the Post
Office Department that searching in
vestigation, followed by effective meas
ures for reform, is demanded. This is
unquestionably the logic of the exist
ing situation. Recent dismissals and
arrests are only beginning.
The removal from office OF Cashier
Fulloch and the transfer of Expert
Auditor Gilmer because they were
troublesome" and embarrassing in
their insistence upon correct and busi-
nesslike methods alone furnish proof
that the Post Office Department is in
sore need of reform. These men were
justified in the action which has
brought them ilto disfavor with their
official superiors. 1t was Mr.. Tul-
loch's duty as cashier of the Washing
ton City Post Office to demand proper
vouchers for moneys expended. 1t
was Mr.. Gilmer's duty as an expert
accountant in the Office of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to examine with
the shrewdest carefulness all accounts
the correctness OF which was ques-
toned.
If the proper spirit had prevailed in
the Post Office Department there would
have been no removal of Tulloch and
no transfer of Gilmer. Quite to the
contrary, the evils of which they com
planned would have been remedied and
the zeal which they displayed in the
performance of duty would have been
credited to their record of faithful
service. In the fact OF their being re-
buked and punished instead there is a
significance Of unsoIndness which calls
for serious attention on the part OF the
administration. II affairs in the Post
Office Department have reached such
a stage az is thus indicated the matter
looks very much like a scandal OF
large proportions.
Postmaster General Payne must not
shirk the performance of his sworn
duty because OF fear that sucL per-
tormanco will mean injury to the Re-
publican party. President Roosevelt,
whose early and brightest record is
that of reform champion of business
like methods in government service,
should see 10 it that the Postmaster
General does his full duty. Congress,
finally, will be looked to by the peo-
pie, who pay the cost OF inefficient and
extravagant public service, to insure a
convincing investigation of Post Office
Department Irregularities and a cor
rection of whatever evils are found TO
exist. The matter has now reached a
stage where further attempt to
smother the scandal will work more
injury to the Republican party than
exposure, OF however startling a
nature. This truth alone, even should
there be no higher motive, may well
make certain such an inquiry as is
now demanded by the known facts

the reigning Bernadotles have been
very popular, and while regarded as
parvenu monarchs, have been still
esteemed as kings among men, hav-
ing been eminent in war. in the arts,
in literature, and having proved them
selves fitted in every way for the
duties of government.
Two interesting circumstances must
be noted in this connection. Oscar |.
married princess of Bavaria, a grand
daughter Of the Empress Josephine,
cousort of Napoleon, and thus, while
rot one of the Bonaparte blood is now
in power in Europe, the star OF jose
phine, as she predicted, is destined 10
be perpetual moro directly through
this Swedish succession, her great
grandson being now on the throne and
her descendant being the heir to the
Danish throne.
The Grown Prince Gustavus Adolf
phus married princess of Badan,
who happens to be lineal descendant
of the last Vasa King Charles XIII,
thus in the three sons of the former
uniting both the Vasas and the Ber-
nadottes; thus the heiress of the claims
of the former is led back to the throne
by the descendant of Bernadotte who
had chased her ancestors off of it,.
What remarkable illustration in the
preservation of the Swedish success
sion, and the blending OF what once
appeared the most divergent lines, of
evolu.ion's great primal law of con-
.inuity! Why should this great prin-
ciple be SO signally honored in the
kingdoms of this world, anj yet so
little esteemed among many protesting
adherents OF the kingdom not OF this

Speak Kind Words.

Kind words, they are like sunshine,
In days both dark and clear;
Scatter them along your pathway,
Change all sadness into cheer.
Kind words have wondrous power,
Although you speak but few;
But they're sweeter than the roses,
Kissed with drops Of sparkling dew.
When your feeling sad and tired,
AS you journey on your way,
And your greeted by one smiling,
Your sadness fades away.
Silence not your thoughts of kindness,
Speak kind words to those you know;
Chance friend of yours be near you.
Should you love him, tell him so.
Since actions speak much louder
Than words both false and true,
Show your kindness, yes in actions,
AS you life's path persue.
Kind deeds are meier forgotten.
However small be they;
So lets scatter deeds of kindness
AS we journey DER the way.
Hearts will blossom by your kindness,
Like the rose that blooms in May;
Hearts will wither by your harshness,
Like flower cast away.
Never speak word Of harshness,
But be always kind and true;
If your heart longs for one near you,
Speak these words: "Dear, love you.

Special Washington Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2G, 1908.
There is so much secrecy about the
postoifice scandals and such an air of
mystery maintained by the department
officials, that the newspapers and the
public are justified in believing that
the looting and mismanagement is
even worse than 1t really may be. 1t
evidently is the intention of the Post
master General to suppress the news
about the progress of the investigation
as a move to abate the public interest
and moderate the consequences to the
administration. There is growing
feeling here that corrupt department
cannot thoroughly investigate itself,
and that the whole thing will have to
be Investigated by the Congress. And
who is there who believes tt at Re-
publican Congress will honestly in
vestigate Republican department
when every man hurt will be Re-
publican and the administration hurt
will be Republican administration ?
The only way to get at the bottom of
these things is to elect q Democratic
Congress. 1t is up to the people.
The roasting that Gov. Pennypacker
and the Quay machine is getting from
the Republican and Democratic news
papers alike, proves to the Pennsyl-
vania bosses that it is impossible to
muzzle the independent press by any
libel law their ingenuity can invent or
their partisan malice execute.
President Roosevelt is giving each
one of the members of his cabinet a
chance to show his proves on the
stump. The latest to be ordered to
the front is Secretary Wilson. So far
he has not ordered Mr.. Payne out. 1t
might be rather embarrassing for Mr..
Payne to explain the rottenness in his
department.

feated in Alabama, and the ''black and
tans" will be at the next Republican
national convention with the same old
delegation for sale. Mr.. Roosevelt's
negro policy will avail him naught il
some man is there who wants the
nomination and has the coin in his
pocket.
The Porto Rican smuggling scandal
has taken on much more serious
phase by the declaration of the officials
OF the Department Of Justice that 'the
action relative to the dismissal OF pro.
ceedings In these cases was upon the
orders of the Cabinet and that they
came from the President himself >
The above quotation is from th Wash
ington Star, which 10 we'll known tc
be the administration organ, and wha,
it says must be taken as coming with
authority. This acknowledgment thai
President Roosevelt ordered the pro.
ccedings against the army and navy
officers dismissed, Is an extraordinary
usurpa.ion OF power unwarranted by
the constitution. The President has
the power to grant pardons, but the
power TO compromise felonies before
conviction If allowed TO pass without
serious objection might In time grow
to be prerogative Of the executive
which would, in the hands OF tyrant
allow his partisans TO commit any
crime aud no proceedings at law to bt
taken against them. The laws mus
be obeyed by the President and the
people alike or in time despotlsm ant

Rights. The President has certain
