Not make any difference. II was com.

stated while here that the community
was un-American because 1t did not

thing to do was to leave the matter as

let them attend to 1t. In the mean.
time, Governor Carter who was per-

President Roosevelt and many Of the

urge that the matter he attended to as

THE PLAIN REASON WHY.

There is no longer any reason for
surprise that the republicans in con-
gress are resisting through every avail
able expedient a thorough investiga-
ton of the frauds in the postoffice de-
partment. The publication of the re-
port of MeSsrs. Conrad and Bonaparte
reveals the truth. 1t shows that the
Perry S. Heath, secretary of the re-
publican national committee, was not
only the organizer of the frauds, but
that he participated in them extensive
ly. 1t alleges that a senator -elect,
and a representative in congress are
inculpated and suggests that their
names ought to be made public. FL
nally, those distinguished lawyers de-
clare that there ought to be a thorough
investiga ton.
When the president appointed
Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte to IN
vestigate the Tulloch charges the an
nOuncement was made with a great
flourish Of reform trumpets. They
were not officially associated with the
administration, it was said, or in po-
litical sympathy with the president.
! Therefore they would be free to make
a searching Investigation and willing
| to make a just report They were able
| lawyers, moreover, it was added, and
had vast experience in such investiga-
tons. The president ought to be
| thanked. it was inferentially declared,
for putting the matter into such capa-
| to acQuiesce in that claim. 1t did in
dictate a right spirit.
| But now that the report has been
! made it is different. AS a matter of
| fact the report of Messrs Conrad and
! onaparte was made about the same
time as that of Bristow. but because
, his was mild and theirs drastic his
was made public and theirs suppress
ed. At least it was kept under cover
until a congressional resolution fore
eU ltS puDllcdtlOn ana tnen the news
paper edited by former Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith made
the statement that the president and
secretary of the treasury decline to
accept it's versions and conclusions.'
In other words because the gentlemen
made a searching Investigation and an
honest report, their work has been dis
credited by the administration. =.

PUNISH SUCH INIQU1T4.

The latest developments made by the
investigation of the ship building trust
are not only interesting, they are as
tonishing. According to the CORE
spondence between Charles B. Alexan-
der, of the firm of Alexander & Green.
and his firm in New York. while he
was in Paris booming the scheme. ev-
cry man connected with the promoting
and underwriting of the swindling OPP
GRAFTON, from J. Pierpont Morgan to
Mr.. Dresser, was nothing less than
bunco steerer and confidence operator
Mr.. Alexander had been sent to Paris
to induce credulous people there to in
vest their money in the enterprise. He
performed his work in the most devi-
Gus ways and succeeded in robbing in
vestors of large sums of money.
According to Mr.. Alexanders letters
Morgan, Harjes & Co., which is the
Paris branch Of J. Pierpont Morgan &
Co., Of New York, was bitterly opposed
to the scheme at the outset. After
Baron Calvert Rogniat and others had
been induced to invest heavily in the
securities, however, Mr.. Harjes was in
formed that unless he fell in with the
movement there was trouble impend-
ing. He became a very enthusiastic
supporter of Mr.. Alexander and used
all his influence to induce others, not
only to invest but to pay their assess
ments, the money being transmitted to
NewYork by telegraph to dump into
the financial rat-hole which the Gin
spirators had established there.
All things considered this ship build
ing trust was the most bare faced
swindle ever perpetrated on intelligent
men. It wasn't quite as colossal in Its
proportions as the steel trust or the
International Steamship company, but
it was a little rawer than either of
those because it hadn't even a suspl-
cion of assets to support it. the Beth
lehem Steel company having only been
loaned to it in some way. At least the
profits of that concern, the only con-
stituent company in the enterprise
| which yielded profits, were not paid
into the treasury of the trust. All
things considered there is no escape
from the conviction that every man
| connected with the swindle ought to be
sent to the penitentiary.
