PESTS OR BoREsp
Men Enslaved by One Idea Based on
Incomplete Observation.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Here is an incomplete list of the people
who make guesses from the outside:
The minister who overhears q policeman
talking about some levee resort and who
then tells his congregation that women's
clubs are addicted to cocktails and cigar
cites.
The reformer who frequentS radical meet
ings and who comes to the conclusion that
the capitalists of the United States are sit
ting about a green baize- table conspiring
against the education and elevation of the
working class
The business man who reads a chance edi-
toriai In an anarchistic paper and who be-
comes convinced that trade union and So
cialist agitators organizing a subter-
ranean conspiracy for the purpose of de-
spelling and perhaps guillotining all per-
sons VINO now own property.
The socialist who reads the newspaper
accounts of q few sermons against social
ism and who announces to the world that
ministers are hypocrites and srafters, and
that they have entered into conscious con-
spi1acy with canitalism to maintain the
present social system and to share the
profits.
The temperance lecturer who follows the
cartoons In the Rams Horn and who seems
when he is on the platform to believe that
the chief feature of every saloon Is little
ragged child begging rather 10 put GOWN MS
glass Of distilled damnation and come home
to his starving family.
The college boy who knows that the MEM
bers of his own fraternity are as helplessly
innocent as lambs. but who can't believe
that the members of other fraternities are
In the same predicament. and who therefore
hates to go to bed because he can just see
those other fellows gathering around the
oaks on the campus and laying horrio plots
The man who has never been inside a
newspaper Office. but who never believes
ANYTHING he sees in the newspapers be-
cause. as he says with a knowing look
You can't fool me-"
Are such people social pests? Or are they
merely bores? Ones opinion about them
varies because, however annoying they may
be. they are always diverting. The proper
punishment for them would perhaps be to
collect them In dime museum and force
them to debate with each other for the
amusement Of the populaGe.

Suggestion of Fees.
.sIt has been suggested that a fee or -
be collected for each certificate issued, IN
due FORM when an inspection of flour Is
made upon request of a dealer to settle
ouestions as to condition and weight which
NAV and do frequently arise. 1t is eesti-
mated that the fees from this source would
amount to about 90 per cent of suitable
salary for an inspector. 1t Is a serious
question in my mind whether the dealer
should be required to pay Zee Tor the IN
spection of flour. for the condition of which
he Is in no way responsible, but that the
manufacturer, in or outside the District.
should pay the fees for an inspection which
Is so necessary to protect the public. 1t
does not seem to me fmpractfcable to col
lect fees from outside manufacturers. i
think it could be arranged that no in
convenience would be caused those inter
ested.
In my estimates have recommended an
appropriation of 81 200 for salary of flour
Inspector and am of the opinion that If it
is considered desirable to collect fees they
can be ST. arranged as to iully cover the
appropriation. The appointment of a flour
inspector is very earnestly recommended by
the commissioners of flour inspection and
the wholesale and retail dealers In -four in
the District.
The total receipts of the office during the
year are reported at $40. 1852, while the
total expenditures amounted to S13 430 6.l
