MORE TROUBLE WITH TULLoCH.

Mr. Tulloch calls attention to the fact that none OF
his charges concerning the Post Office frauds has been
specifically denied. His charges detailed. spe
cic and covered fifty pages of typewriter mat
ter. Mr. Payne, who had by every possible means de-
laye the presentation OF the charges accorded them
no more than Tulloch had accompanied their
presentation with prefer Of his services in the inves
tigation.
The spirit in which the charges were received did
not promote alert and thorough inveStiga-
ton Mr. Payne described the complaints as glitter
ing generalities Said he II greatly disappointed
for looked for some help from Mr.. Tulloch" But
Payne forced to admit that some OF the state
ments deserved investigation.
Presumably at his suggestion, great array of the
administrations friends wrote replies Tulloch.
These widely published. 1t now. appears that
Mr. Payne referred the Tulloch charges to Bristow,
who has been conducting the examinations and that
Bristow has made report on them. In Washington
it is stated upon sufficient grounds that the report finds
many of them to be true. But, although the widest
publicity has been given to everything which could
discredt Tulloch. Mr.. Payne declines to give out for
publication the results of Bristows investigation
Mr. Payne's attitude since the charges first
mentioned and all Of his acts with reference to them
have tended to establish the general confidence in
their truth. Nothing has been significant than
the Withholding of Brstow's report. Had Bristow
found the matters of which Tulloch complained to be
without foundation the publication of this fact would
close the Tulloch incident forever Such publication
would corroborate the general denials' of Postmas-
Merritt. Perry Heath and former Postmaster Gen
eral Smith.
If Brstow has sustained the charges, the admins
tration and its solicious friends placed in very
uncomfortable position to say the least The gist of
the Tulloch charges is that frauds and Irregularities
were officially known to exist long ago three
years. and that the high officials to whom the infor-
nation communicated during Smiths term and
subsequently have used every means not to eradicate
the scheme of fraud but prevent its coming light
Former Postmaster General Smith himself has admit
ted that TullOch did make some charges of frauds
three years ago, fact which tends strongly to sup

That Mayor of a Western town who refuses 10 read

literature of any description. and who consistently in
troduced President Roosevelt to audience as the
hero of San Diego HILL. represents larger element
of present-day humanity than would think at
frstglance.
There is an amazing hostility on the part of many
worthy, though peculiar, persons to the mere act of
reading Whatever curious truth of heredity may
their attitude the fact is that all Of know
such folk. and that their stubborn disapproval Of the
printed page to be in the nature Of prejudice
rooted in their very blood.
To persons in this astonishing category the very
rustic of a newspaper is irritating. and the sight of
other Individual reading book becomes an in
slant provocation. They are always more than glad
TO give uterance 10 their feelings in this connection.
1t is their influence AS body which has had much
do in creating the mistaken impression that
frmed reader of books and newspapers, the records
of the deeds of other men, is not likely to TO
much in the world of action. The erroneous idea to
this effect may he dispeed by accurate knowledge
OF the tastes and habits of the worlds greatest
but human nature loves to cling fast TO these old err
rors. The uprootng of them is apparently I'M
possible task.
Doubtless the Western Mayor, priding himself
upon his hatred of books and bookshness fondy
tempated President Roosevelt a fine type of the
forceful man Of action, who has love for such
things Of the quiet hour. Yet when he looked Mr.
Roosevelt, this Mayor behed of the busiest of
bookmen, both In the making and reading. whose
relish for letters is at least equal to that of the
age professor Of literature. And widening Of the
field of investigation would teach that the combina
ton Of the of action and the man of letters is
anything but uncommon. Happily for the worlds
good however, these enemies of the gentle craft
printing, though surprisingly numerous for so ad
vanced an age Of progress as the present never
theess in the vast minority The great circulation

for books, proves that the average human being OF
the Twentieth Century is distinctly a reader YET
there has never been of greater activity in
doing of notable, useful and benefcent things.
