TURNING THE RAscALs OUT.

William Allen White in the Septem-
Der McClure's tells the story of the
discovery Of the postal frauds and the
turning out OF the rascals who had
grated for years at the expense Of the
government. Mr.. Allen spares no one
in telling his story and his resume of
the season of graft in the postofflce de-
partment makes better and more
agreeable reading than the dry statis-
tical report Of Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow. Among other things
Mr.. White says that August W. Mach
en-, the man whose friends came so
readily to his rescue at first is the
greatest rascal of them all. After tell
ing Of Beavers work in defrauding the
government Mr.. White turns to the
case Of Machen and says.
when one turns from Beavers to
Machen 1t Is as though one walked
from the room where the young wom-
an with the pigtails down her back
was practlclng Notwithstanding
and-four-and on the piano into the
room where the master was playing a
sonata For If ever there was an ar
fist in graft. one who reduced graft to
a really beautiful handicraft, it was
August W. Machen." With this intro
duction he goes on to detail Machen's
schemes for stealing from the govern
ment, including his letter strap, Shout
der strap, mail sack, mail box, paint
ing and numerous other gratis.
Mr.. White shows in his story that
the real fault of the postoffice depart
ment was probably in the lack of ac-
ton in the Office of the attorney gen
eral of the department, James N. Ty-
ner The stealing could go on right
under his eyes without the slightest
attention being paid to it, apparently.
and this fact was used to advantage by
Machen and the others.
The credit for the expose of the post
office department frauds is given to
President Roosevelt by Mr.. White and
the work of Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow is not over
looked. That their efforts have met
with success and that the government
has been saved many thousands of
dollars is conclusively shown by the
following summing up of the work:
Resulting from the investigation in
the postof11ce department four 'resig-
nations have been accepted and doz.
en- removals have been made. Seventy.
four indictments have been issued The
following convictions have followed
"a. W. Machen, convicted; sentenc'
ed to two years in penitentiary and fin.
ed $4,000.
Thomas W. McGregor, convicted;

ed, as strong as were the journalists
of Burke's day The press may we'll
feel proud of its standing and it's stand
ards.
In one characteristic the journalistic
life has changed considerably since
the time of Burke. The business side
of the proposition is being given more
and more attention-not that sight is
rather is it magnified. The influence
gained as a business power aids the
influence of journal as a moulder Of
public opinion and dissemination of
news. 1t is only in the past few years,
comparatively, that advertising IN
journals has been thought Of import
ance. Gladstone, another Englishman
and a man of wide and profound knowl-
edge. was pronounced in his views up
on advertising. A story often told in
gatherings of newspaper men illus
trates this fact well 1t is this:
Some years ago, when the American
magazine field was first being recog-
nized by publishers, one of the pioneers
to venture into 1t was surprised most
agreeably to receive notification to
put upon his subscription list the name
of William Gladstone. He 80 appre-
ciated the notice from the grand old
man that the first magazine sent across
the water to him was purged Of all ad-
vertising matter, the publisher think
ing the render would appreciate 1t the
more in that way But another sur
prise awaited him and came in the
form Of an autograph letter from Mr..
Gladstone noting the absence Of the
advertising pages and saying among
other things, that the omission was en-
tirely unnecessary-was in fact not
desired. Mr.. Gladstone said, in ex-
PLANTATION, that he valued the adver-
tisements in journal as highly as he
did the reading matter, regarding ad-
yertising as an indication of good
business judgment and good business
! An advertisement, he said is the pro-
duct of brain given to the study of
the cultivation, increase and satisfac-
ton of trade. The efforts of a trained
man are valuable to all, he asserted in
his letter, and therefore advertising in
| journals is acceptable and beneficial
reading. 1t is needless to say that aft
er the reception of that letter the ad
vertislng pages in Mr.. Gladstone's
magazines were never again missing

BOOKS FOR BOYS,

A Chicago youth has been arrested
in Hammond Ind, for stealing horse.
He was a reader of dime novels. His
course was steered by the standards
set by their heroes. but he fell into
the hands Of the police and will now
probably have term in reform
school or possibly in the penitentiary
during which he can reflect upon the
error of his way. Cheap, vulgar, liter
allure has had much to do with the
wrecking Of lives of many young men
and every instance should prove les
son to boys. Parents can do much to
guard the minds Of their children from
this trash. Good books, books that
help to make useful men out of boys,
are to be obtained at price SO cheap
that the cost is almost nothing as COM
pared with the benefits derived. Pub
lie libraries are increasing in number
and the time is coming when a town
will not be bold enough to claim the
name unless it has one of these
shrines of learning.
The boys. the citizens of the future,
owe 1t to themselves and to their
country to be useful men. Their read
ing will, in great measure, decide their
future characters. If they read trash
their minds are surcharged with a
desire to emulate the characters of the
wild, impossible tales. If they read
books with morals, books no less ex,
citing and interesting than the dime
novels. but books which leave desire
to lead honorable lives, they cannot
help but be bettered by their reading
With the parents of today rests the
responsibility for the character of the
parents of the next generation. Inter
est your boy in good reading, get him
books by good authors. 1t matters moi
whether they be tales of life upon the
plains. stories of the search for gold in
the days of the "Forty-niners," OF
books of travel They are all interest
ing. Do not require them to read but
suggest that they will find 1t enjoy
able. Provide good books for them ant
they will do the rest. Once started or

country has an official of that kind in
Theodore Roosevelt. Witness what
that democratic newspaper, the New
York World, said on this point the day
after the supreme court confirmed the
decision in the Northern Securities
suit:
The antitrust law was framed by
a republican, was passed by repub-
lican house and a republican senate,
was signed by republican president.
The law remained a dead letter on
the statute books during the second
term of Grover Cleveland, a demo-
cratic president. Through those four
years of democratic administration all
appeals and all efforts Of the world
to have the law enforced were met
with sneers, jeers and open contempt
from democratic attorney general,
Richard Olney, who pretended that the
law was unconstitutional. and who
would do nothing toward prosecuting
violators of it.
The first effort to enforce the law
was made by Theodore Roosevelt. a
republican president. The first at.
torney general to vigorously prosecute
offenders and to test the law was a
republican attorney general, Philander

ONE WAY OUT OF A DILEMMA.

With only two more days until the
democratic congressional convention
at Oskaloosa, it is, really and truly
getting to be serious question, this
question us to who will be that con-
vention's nominee. Name after name
has been suggested but those thus hon
ored have either refused the nomination
point blank, pleaded other business, or
maintained an eloquent silence. 1t be-
gins to look as If all the eligibles will
have to stand up in row and let an
umpire, as in the knickerbocker days.
tell off the unlucky one, destined to
be "it," by means of a verse some
thing like this:

Everyone who was a boy when he
was young emembers the thrills of al
ternate hope and fear that made the
cold shivers run up and down his back
during the recital of the mystic words
and how happy he felt when he was
the lucky one to whom the finger point
ed when the word "out" was reached.
And he remembers, too, the feeling
when he was left alone to be ut" after
all the others were out. OF course,
should the democrats at Oskaloosa
adopt this plan the chosen one may, as
in the old days, brave the cries Of
