| rascalities Of previous administrations,
! it will be without any outcry in the
newspapers. The president himself has
| assumed direction of the investigation
with the postmaster general as his chief
adviser. No guilty officer will be per-
| mittee to escape, whether appointed by
him or by his predecessors, and as fast
| as developments are reached, they will
be submitted to him, and he will decide
what shall go to the public. This will
stop the endless chatter an dgossip which
has characterized the investigation, and
close the mouths of certain postoffice Off :
Gals who have been furnishing the press
with material.
The postoffice situation is bad enough
| without exaggeration and sensation. The
| president does not want the country to
| form his judgment from these, but from
| a. survey of the facts as the investiga-
| ton discloses them. It is we'll known that
| the president regrets that any answer was
made TO the Tulloch charges, not because
| these charges were unfounded, but be-
cause they describe a condition which has
passed and cannot now be reached. No
practical benefit, he thinks, has or can
| come from the Tulloch exposures.
| What he wants is to know whether the
| rascality is still rampant in the postoffice
department and the investigation is be-
ing focused on that point. What was
done several years ago cannot now be
| remedied The officials who were re-
| sponsible are now out Of the governments
employ.
The president indorses the Investigation
OF the Tulloch charges, of course, for this
was necessary in order that he might
approach present conditions intelligently:
but he regrets that it was necessary to
make the result Of that Investigation
public. Nothing has been gained by it,
In taking personal charge of the inves-
tigation, the president strongly indorses
the work Of Postmaster General Payne
and announces his purpose Of continuing
that work to a fnality, with Mr.. Payne's
assistance
The Beavers Case.
Payment to George w. Beavers, late
chief Of the salaries and allowance divis-
ion of the postoffice department, of his
salary as assistant superintendent Of the
division and also per def compensa-
ton as inspector back in 1898, appears to
have been legal altho such payment has
been characterized as ''bad administra-
tion.'
Statements have been made that such
an account was passed by Auditor Henry
A. Castle, the imputation apparently be-
ing that he acquiesced in the crookedness
in the postoffice department and ap-
proved the accounts contrary to law
Investigation to-day, however, shows
that, in passing the Beavers account Cap
tain Castle had the backing OF the SUI
preme court of the United States. That
court, in 1887, in a decision relating to
two salaries paid a man acting as ma
chinist in the navy and on the fish COM
mission. declared that prohibition against
the payment of two salaries did not apply
to an official holding two distinct offices.
