INVESTIGATE? SUREl
Post once and Other Departments
viii Get Their Dose of
Mhttcwash.

The republican leaders have decided
that there must be a republican inyesti-
cation by congress OF the post office de-
partment ITO spoil lot Of democratic
thunder" That means, OF course,
whitewash and a majority report that all
the scandals have been investigated and
all the thieves indicted. One great trou-
BILE with this kind Of an investigation Is
that it is partisan and intended TO cover
up graft and give a clean bill of health
to the greater rascals. Who ever heard
of q partisan committee reporting I'M
favorably to its own party? Who Will
compose the committee OF investigation
that the speaker of the house OF represent
tativcs will name? The great majority
will be the most extreme partisan re-
publcans that can be found willing 10
apply the whitewash with liberal hand.
The investigation by the department OIL
acials has by order of President Roose-
Welt not extended to those who are ac-
cused of malfeasance in office three
years ago, as the statute Of limitations In
the District of Columbia runs after that
time. Yet 1t is more important that the
people Of the United States should know
all those that have conspired to defraud
the government than few minor ON
Gals should be indicted.
The only way the voter can be pro-
tected from repetition OF similar FRAUDS
Is to know all who have been guilty oil
them, so that they can remember them
for popular disapproval II they appear as
candidates for public Office. No con-
gressional investigation that does moi
cover all the post office frauds will sat
lsfy the voters.
Then there are other departments O
the government that would seem TO re
uuire investigation quite as much as thu
post Office. The interior department
stands charged with rottenness in botl
the Isdian bureau and general land OF
hce ard specific charges OF malfeasanc
In Office are on file in the courts agains
the Dawes commission. Perhaps IN
lack Of energy shown In the land fraud
investigation is to allow another set {
grafters to cover their tracks by tn
convenient route Of the statute OF limita
ions.
. There is no doubt that an honest CON
mittee of investigation of all the govern
ment departments would be kept bus

RESCUED BY SHAW.
Desperate Measures Resorted To Ne.
cause Of the APPROACH
Ing Panic.

Secretary Shaw for political reasonS
wants 10 staye off panic as long as
possible, and at the Maryland and Wash
ington bankers meeting at Old Point
Com fort he declared that "the time has
come when either more government
bonds must be issued as basis for bank
circulation. or some other system must
be adopted" This report Of what Sec
retary Shaw said was published in the
Washington Post, September rs. and
shows the administration intends to use
its influence for the asset currency plan.
for 1t Is impossible to believe that even
the present administration would issue
more bonds just to aid Wall street in the
panic that seems imminent
When Secretary Shaw says there 10
no danger of money panic, but at the
same time advises the bankers that the
conditions are so desperate that, either
more bonds must be issued. or some other
system Of issuing currency must Be
adopted, the wise man can read between
the lines and see there are troublous
times ahead. The break may come soon,
or It may be postponed for a time. but
speculation that has run riot for some
years Is certainly exhausted. and much
business and many people are drawing
in their horns preparing for a rainy day.
Opening the treasury strong boxes to
the banks and overriding the law that
governs the government deposits and
bank reserves will only stay the tide
awhile; the evil is too deep rooted to
be cured by few millions. more or less.
that the treasury has to loan the banks.
The very fact Of the desperate meas
ures that the republican administration
is taking will cause more deposits to be
withdrawn than the dollars the treasury
holds that are available TO be used to
help the banks.
The chief trouble Is the lack of conf
dence. and that barometer of the fran
cial world-Wall streets already ex-
periencing a thorough house cleaning OF
the watered stocks that 1t has been the
main effort of Secretary Shaw to boil
ster up. The effect Of this will soon bt
apparent in the country, the depression
depending on the soundness with which
the local banks have managed their bust
ness.

shocking state of Affairs Confronts
the People Ina the Delaware
AddIcks Deal.

The statement OF Postmaster General
Payne that President Roosevelt was fully
aware of the deal that had been made
for the division of the spells Of office In
Delaware is rather hard on a civil serv-
ice reformer as President Roosevelt pro-
fessss to be- IL must be especially dis

were hopeful that their party would not
be disgraced by completely with the at
te mpt Of Addicks TO purchase the Della
ware senatorship. That Mr.. Payne
should have given the Addicks faction
their share of the political spoils was to
be expected. but that the president ac-
auiesced in supporting the notorious Ad-
dicks, is a shock to all patriots who de-
mand decent government.
The offense that Miss Todd had COM
mitted and for which her dismissal was
requested. was that she opposed the Adj

A fellow feeling made him wondrous

President Roosevelt can afford to be

IN any event they can but send a con-

German traveller has learned to his
grief. Officials found in his trunk "a

returned to the German, but with more
than a hundred pages torn out. The
traveller went to the censor's Office to
complain of this inexplicable treat,

that an accurate description of Con,

since a knowledge OF the locality was
