until used, for the due enforcement OF the laws
OF the United States in general and especially OF

Recent Investigations have shown deplorable
state OF affairs in these three matters or vital

ana perJuries, thousands of acres of the pubic
domain, embracing lands Of different character
ana extending through various sections OF the
country have been dishonesty acquired.
1t is hardly necessary to urge the Importance

ishing the Offenders / sneak in another part
OF this message of the widespread crimes by
winch winch the sacred right of citizenship is falsely
asserted and that 'inestimable heritage" per-
Verted to base ends. BY similar means-that
Is. through frauds, forgeres and perjuries and
py shameless briberies-the laws relating to the
proper conduct of the public service in general
ana TO the due administration Of the Postoffce
department have been notorously violated and
many indictments have been found. and the
consequent prosecutions in course of hear

lndlcated, and so that the Government may be
prepared TO enforce promptly and with the
greatest effect the due penalties for such viola
tlons or law, and to this end may be furnished
Win sufficient instrumentalities and competent
legsl assistance for the Investigations and trials
which viii be necessary at many different
points OF the country, 1 urge upon the Congress
the necessity OF making the said appropriation
aNaiaple Tor immediate for all such pur-
poses TO be expended under the dir ection of the
Attorney General.
Steps have been taken by the State Depart
nent looking to the making of bribery an ex-
traditable ohense with foreign powers The
need or more effective treaties covering this
crime is manifest. The exposures and proseou-
tions OF official corruption in St Louis Mo-
ana other cites and States have resulted in
number Of Rivers and takers OF brbes becoming
fugitives in foreign lands Bribery has not
been Included In extradition treaties heretofore
as the necessity for it has not aris sn. While
there may have been as much official corrup-
tion in former years there has been more de-
veloped and brought to light in the immediate
past than in the preceding century Of
countrys history. 1t should be the policy C.f
the United States to leave place ON earth
where corrupt man fleeing from this country
can rest ueace. There is no reason why
bribery should not he included ia all treaties
as extraditable. The recent amended treaty
with Mexico, whereby this crime was put in
the list OF extradtable offanses has estab-
lshed salutary precedent in this regard
Under this treaty the State Department has
asked. and Mexico has granted. the extradftion
