THE POSTAL SCANDALS.

A general review of the postal scam
dals has been called forth by the publi-
cation of an abstract of the report of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow, accompanied by memoran-
DUN by President Roosevelt. The con-
clusion Of the report states that forty
inspectors have been employed every
day since the investigation was ordered
by the President, and that the records of
1000 postofices were examined, as were
also the files of several divisions of the
department the last ten years. From
the evidence of fraud found, four officers
OF the Department have resigned, thir-
teen have been removed and ten indict-
ed. Forty-four indictments we're return
ed, involving .thirtv-one persons. Mr..
Bristow estimates at about 100000 the
amount received directly by those en-
gagged in; the fraudulent transactions,
but says that this amount is insignificant
compared with the losses to the govern
ment resulting from the purchase, at
high prices, OF unnecessary and inferior
supplies.
An interesting part of the report is
that which applies to former First AS
sistant Postmaster General Perry S..
Heath. Mr.. Bristow declares that his
summary dismissal would have been
justified. Mr.. Heath is still secretary of
the Republican National Committee and
has strong friends in the party. The
fact that he is not removed, is furnish
ing the Democrats with political capital
On the otter hand, the Republicans give
prominence to the fact that the man who
is under the most indictments, Machen.
began his fraudulent practices under
Cleveland's second Admi ministration.
These party taunts indicate that the
postal scandals will be factor in the
compaign as well as in the party con-
tests in both Houses Of Congress.
The Republican leaders have apparent
ly given up the plan of Congression-
al investigation "to forestall the Demo-
Gratis, and the latter are therefore like
ly to demand one. At all events, there
will surely be many speeches made in
Congress against the corruption under
the Republican administration, and the
Republicans will show that the present
Administration deserves credit for the
thorough and impartial manner in which
it investigated the frauds. President
Roosevelt says that the full report is
ready to be submitted to Congress
whenever it is called for.
AS one result of the Investigations,
the Attorney General will recommend
to Congress that the period OF the sta
tute of limitations be extended to five
years in the case of government off,
cials. Such law will probably be
passed.

you down as living, walking hoodoo-
a man that he doesn't want about the
place. You'll do well to conceal your
faults, and register an inward VOW to
cure them.
No, take off your hat--there is nothing
but courtesy in the action--look the man
straight in the eye and tell him what you
know you can do. Tell him you want an
opportunity to deliver the goods. Ans
wer his questions truthfully and let him
know that at heart you are real man.
And don't tease. When he says "No!"
1t is time for you to get out. You can
always go out again, you know. You
can keep on applying for that position,
and 1t is almost certain that you will
land in some capacity, and the coveted
chance will be yours.
Remember, the wilmer is a beggar.
He may get aims, but seldom considera-
ton or respect, and rarely position.
There are mighty few employers who
will not give frank, decent, aggressive
