washington, April 25-It is high time
that President Roosevelt took hand in
the investigation OF the Post-Ofhce Depart
ment unless he wants the whole AFFAIR TO
become a reproach to his administration
and the Republican party. e. - p.
I This is the view taken here by promi-
nent persons who have been watching the
progress of the so-called inquiry by Post
master General Payne.
The manner in which the investigation
has been 30 far conducted is rapidly be-
coming a greater scandal than the irregu-
larities themselves. so far as they are
known.
Criticism is now directed at the Post
master General for his easy-going methods
in treating a condition in his own depart
ment which long ago aroused the gravest
apprehensions. 1t IL not going too far to
say that the attitude of the Postmaster
General has encouraged the persons un-
de: suspicion.
His greatest concern Is not what may
have been done In the way OF fraud by
sworn officials OF his department. but about
what the newspapers are publishing about
the revelations from day to day.
The latest scandal. in which the wife OF
the Assistant Attorney General for the de-
partment. who is under suspicion, rilei
the safe of the department Of all papers
which it contained. thus possibly destroy
ing evidence which might be used. is now
being employed as the strongest argument
TO show that the Investigation is a farce.
TYNER STILL DRAWS SALARY.
Early in the month OF February President
Roosevelt himself. realizing that there
should be no taint on any department Of
the Government. ordered a most thorough
investigation. and at that very time told
the Postmaster General IN the plainest
terms that Assistant Attorney General
Tyner should be removed from Office. and
removed at once.
II his resignation could be obtained the
President agreed that in this manner he
might leave the department. 1t was not.

House.
Immediately on the adjournment 81 Con-
gress and at a time when he himself
should have been present to direct the in
quiry into what he admitted were very
serious charges. the Postmaster General
started on a Junketing trip of six weeks
with other officials OF the Government.
This left First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Wynne in temporary charge of the
department, and practically dirsctin. the
investigation. Meanwhile. with the Post
master General absent. Mr. Wynne was
subjected to the fercest possible attacks
from the officials Of the department under
suspicion and investigation.
Nor were the attacks confined to these
men alone. but their friends in Congress
took up the fight and even helped TO carry
the campaign of vituperation against Mr..
Wynne.
Mr.. Payne returned nearly three weeks
ago and found very unpleasant situation
in the department. He emphatically stated.
and his statements were given the widest
publicity. that 1t was his intention to go to
the bottom OF the investigation and that no
guilty man should escape.
In the meantime the chief offender against
the public trust. as alleged in the charges,
was A. W. Machen. superintendent Of the
free delivery department. A large part of
the investigation has been directed to his
official acts, and yet he Il still in charge
of his Office and apparently directing the
doings OF some Of the inspectors.
Instead of ordering the inspectors TO take
charge of the papers in his department. all
documents containing any evidence of his
official doings were allowed to remain In
