About Corruption.

what it printed a week ago. for the
benefit of the delegates to the Wichita

President Roosevelt recently sent to
Postmaster General Payne regarding
those guilty of corruption in office:
White House, Washington,
February 27, 1901
My Dear Postmaster General:-While
all the work of the Dostoff1ce depart
ment and the department of justice in
connection with the postal frauds is not
yet over. there is already to the credit
of the departments, and therefore pr1-
marily to your credit. such an amount
of substantial achievement that L take
this opportunity to congratulate you
personally upon it.
It is impossible to expect that cor
ruption will not occasionally occur in
any government. The vital point is
the energy, the fearlessness and the
efficiency with which such corruption
is cut out and the corruoIlonisls pun
ished The success of the prosecutions
in this case, as compared with previous
experiences in prosecuting government
officials who have been guilty OF NAL
1easance or misfeasance. is as note
worthy as it is gratifying. and must
be a source of encouragement to all
men who believe in decency and hon
esty in public life.
What has been accomplished by you
by those who have worked under you
in your department, and by the de-
partment of justice. rebounds to the
credit of our whole people and is a
signal of triumph for the cause of pop
ular government. If corruption goes
unpunished in popular government
then government by the people will
ultimately fail: and they are the best
friends of the people who make 1t evi-
dent that whoever in public office. OF

against the fundamental laws of civic
we'll being, will be punished with un-
sparing rigor Sincerely yours,
