What the Editors Say

The condition of affairs in the gov
eminent printing Office at Washington
is strong argument for placing bust
ness men at the heads of departments
Of that sort. 1t is difficult, however,
to induce the right kind of a man to
accept the position of public printer at
the salary fixed by law. But in order
to get the best possible service for the
government, and at the same time
econonize in all branches, there should
be man chosen who does not owe his
place to the political influence of SEN
atorS and representatives. When once
chosen he should be sure that so long
as he attends to- the business of his de-
partment in a businesslike manner he
will not be discharged through the
Vaccinations Of intriguing politicians.

The government cases against Mil
ionaire Lieut.. Gov. Ray Jones are call
ed ''trespass." In the case of the poor
devil who unlawfully carries off a few
sticks of wood to keep his family from
freezing, it goes under the name of
plain stealing and the culprit goes to
the jug. BY the way, Ray offers to dig
up $4,000 if Uncle Sam will withdraw
the suits against him, and, although
the amount sued for is thousands in
excess Of that figure, we presume the

thus far has been at the hands of
friends, what will 1t be when congress

The New York city election to take
place in couple of weeks, however
much the fact may be attempted to be

The milIers' strike at Minneapolis
has been broken, many Of the men re-
turning to work. Minneapolis millers
have received better pay than any in
the world but the agitators wanted to
run the business for the employers and
when they couldn't they induced the
men to strike. They are out several
weeks work and many OF them have
lost their positions-but they have
learned a bitter and expensive lesson
