GRAFT IN PUBLIC SERVTCI

The new crime which peryad
many branches of the public serv5a
Is now called graft" a word that
cannot be found in the dictionari~S.
but is heard from almost every tou
cue.
It may be defined to be the illegal
and criminal gain that a politician or
public official contrives to draw from
the execution of a public duty. A
policeman who is paid when he over
looks gamblers Or offending saloon
keepers, is a CRATER. He receives
money for ~neglecting his duty. An
alderman who votes for a public con-
tract, receiving in return for his vote
money from the beneficiary, is a
CRATER, and so is the school officer
who receives a rake-off when he
places a contract for school supplies.
The postotficials who received money
for official favors to individuals were
each and all grafters, and they are
on tria! for grating.
The fOrlas CT grating are as va
rious as the forms of the public SER
vice. The official who at any point
Is unlawfully remunerated is a graf
ter. The legislator who sells his vote
IS the vilest sort of a CRATER, but all
&rafters are essentially alike from a
moral point Of view.
Grating permeates American pub
lie affairs in nearly every state, and
the recent disclosures in the post
office and interior departments show
that it is by no means unknown in
the federal service. 1t has, in fact,
been prevalent in the general govern
ment a long time, and it was not
until Circuit Attorney Folk began his |
campaign in Missouri, and MI. Bris-
tow took hold Of the subject in the
p~ostoffice department, and MI. Bon
apart was sent to ferret out and pun
lsh the rascals in the Indian Terri
tory that a raid against grating was
considered practicable Or possible. |
Mr.. Folk has certainly shown that
the grafters car be rooted out in Mis-
souri,, and perhaps the federal trials
will do a like work in the federal |
service.
