1t was not with the expectation of find
ing dishonest methods that President
Roosevelt determined to Institute an in
veStigation of the methods in vogue in
the Printing Office. but with Il view to
asccrtainng why it was that the cost of
printing and binding performed by the
Public Printer should so greatly exceed
the cost of the same work performed by
private institutions. Since. however. an
investigation has been determined upon.
there have been number of charges that
there are serious leaks in the admini>tra-
tive methods. y rule of the Bookbind-
ers' Union which limited the daily task
of all its members first called the ntten-
ton of the President to the eXtrnvagant
conduct of the Government Printing ES-
tabiShmcnt. and it is proInbllc that to
that rule he charged much of the in
creased cost of the federal printing and
binding, but to the surprise of many. the
officers of the BookbindcrS' Union an
nouncc that they will welcome an invcS-
tigation as it will reveal the real leak
and relieve their Union from the Odium
of an unjust suspicion. While there will
doubtless be many unfounded rumorS of
corruption in the Printing Office from
now on. no one who has witnessed the
thorough methods and the courageous
spirit which have characterized the in
vcStgation of the PostofIicr Department
will for moment believe that the Pres
idcnt will be satisfied with any super
hcial investigation" and the general pub
lie will rest assured that. when Spcre-
tary COrtrlyOu. who by his high probity
and businesS-likc methods has already
won the respect of the public and to
whom the conduct of the Investigation
will be contided. has completed his eX-
animation of the Government Printing
Office, he will have left unturned no
stone nor permitted to escape his atten-
ton any improper transaction. In the
words of II prominent Democratic men,

THE ROBIN RED BREAST; or, HOW DID

Editor Cecil Wing" /:


We had loaded up our old army musket
for sparrow. but nnsmuch as an old
noisy woodpecker has flown between, we
will sprinkle him numerically at every

And lit on a tree, that was shading me

And he pecked away till his headache
was sore.
Then he scared to the woods with his
head in Il swell,
And when he felt of his tOp-knot his
countrnancc fell,
Then he said he'd stop prcking till his
headache got well.
How did you get in this. old Wood
peckcr Jack, anyhow ! You say that the
old scribe chased the Johnnies from hith-
or to yon. and even up to the city of dear

DEEPLY as they regret the dis

ington, Republicans here, and
probably throughout the country. are re-
joiced that President Roosevelt has had
the courage to probe to the bottom one
Government Department, and now con-
templates the thorough investigation of
another. There is in some quarters an
impression that the control of the reins
of Government by one of the great par
ties, beyond a limited time. inevitably re-
suits in dishonest administration and the
time is not remote when the Democrats
gained Il national victory with the slogan
Turn the rascals out" That they might
have done so again had there been any
lack of earneStncSS on the part of the
President in investigating the Post Office
Department is admitted by the wiser
Republican politicians, but it is appre-
ciated now. even by the Democrats that
Mr.. Roosevelt has effectually spiked any
Democratic guns which may have been
loaded with charges of corruption by in
augurating II thorough investigation of
the Post Office Department and by pre-
pairing for Il top to bottom inspection of

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1903-08-08

The President and Secretary Root have
received another appeal from the Manila
Chamber of Commerce for free trade be-
tween the Philippines and the United
States. So insiStent are the FilipineS be-
coming in their demands for free trade,
and so logical is their argument based on
the example Of Porto Rice which has
prospered so extensively since free trade
was granted the Island, that it is deemed
likely that the effort to suspend the tariff
on Philippine imports will be renewed
during the coming session of Congress.
