AFFAIRS At Washington
WHAT is DOING At TIE Cap.
TAL OF The RATIOS
President Roosevelt's Return from
His Junketing Tour-The P~os:office
scandals and Olher Matters.

\ little trick ol The PRESIDENT :
during his .'Swing around The cir
Gle" was 10 give To the ASSoriated
Press representative accompany
iny hum typewriter copies OF
his address to be delivered at any
given point, TO be sent out broad
cast ovp; the country as the
speech he delivered there. That
speech, as sent out, was carefully
built aud edited. 1t was not the
speech he delivered. however, by
Il long shot. Mr. Roosevelt said
many things in his speeches that
did no; reach the people Of his
country, and things he did not
want the country at large 10 hear.
He was caught at his little game
nv the Butte, Montana, Miner.
That paper sent a stcnoSrapher
to herr Mr. Roose welt and took
his speech down verbatim, and 1t
differed materially from the type
written copy sent to that office
early in the evening. He said
many things of a radical nature.
and they were things he would
not SAINT the business interests OF
the country to get hold Of, for
fear that there would not be the
same unanlmity in endorsing him
for nomination as there seems 10
have been lately. If this isn't
saying things on the stump that
he does not say off Of it, what
would YOU call 1t? II tins isn't
approaching the game OF the rakir
who sells soap from the tail gate
of a wagon, name il? That sort
OF work has neither the color nor
the odor of craftsmanship. 1t Is
The mere trick of d pO~liticaSiro.
Ii this be lese majestic, make the
most OF il.
Since the return of the Presi-
dent to his little cheese box office
he has had several interviews
with his Postmaster General and
he has told him 10 "get off the
lid and let the stink come out.
The latter is going 10 obey him
by getting out Of town anu al.
lowing his subordinates to stand
the stencil. 1t is well known that
MIR Payne suffers with acute lndi-
sestion and his stomach is not
strong enough TO stand this thing
any longer. Those of US who are
compelled to live in close prox-
unity to the rottenness and cor
luption emanating from the Post
office Department do not blame
INN. The investigation goes
'sbravely on" so 1t is said, but it
is remarked here that after all the
replies to Mr Tulloch's charges
are boiled down TO the last analy-
sis, the only way in which they
have refu,ed anything he has
charged has been by calling him
SanO1ner.'
1t is ano,eworthy fact to be
borne in mind tina, all the replies
to Mr. Tulloch's charges have been
~sivenrto the public with the ex-
ccption Of the reply OF MIR Bris-
tow, the Fourth Assistant Post
master General. The reason, ii
is believed here, is because Dir
Bristow has corroborated MIR Tul-
loch's charges in almost every
important particular. 1t will
take a democratic spade to get 10
the bottom of this muck heap.
