AN EPIDEMIC OF GRATING.

1t has come to be rare day on
which no new graft charge, expos
ure or Investigation is reported
from Washinton, says the Savan-
nah News. So much rottenness
has been found 10 the government
printing office that several official
heads must fall and big scandal
will be developed. In one instance
eighty-four high priced machines
were ordered for the printing office.
The Investigators ascertained that
there was need for only twelve of
the machines, so the order for
seEenty-twe of them was cancelled.
Why were these seventy-twO I'M
needed machines ordered? Was it
because the public printer didn't
know the needs of his Office? 1t
is a perfectly safe assertion that he
wouldn't have given any such
order for an office of his own. The
latest graft story concerning the
Agricultural Department has to do
with the control ofmeat inspection
labels, and it has been alleged
that certain persons officially con-
nected with the department have
made large sums of money by
manipulating the manufacture and
distribution of the labels. Another
charge is that certain officials of
the Weather Bureau have succeed
ed in building up a fine summer
colony for themselves in the Ridge
Mountains at Bluemont, Va, with
funds appropriated by Congress
for the purpose of erecting build
ings for the weather service in all
parts of the country. Certain of
ficials of the Geological Survey are
under suspicion of having sold
public information in advance to
mine spectators and operators,
and of having made use of such in
formation themselves in stock
speculations. The Fish Commits
sion is charged with having sup
piled in advance to certains publ
cations information gathered att
public expense for public use. Is
grating pretty nearly universal
In the national capital?

There has been some talk in
Washington recently of Secretary
Wilson resigning. Mr.. Wilson
says he will not. This is the type of
man wanted in that important
position-one who will not quit
under fire. Let Mr.. Wilson stay
by his department and clean the
rascals out. 1t has been quite a
long time since it had good clean
ing. The intelligent people of the
country have confidence in Mr..
Wilson's integrity and sincerity of
purpose. Quit fighting Wilson. He
has been the South's best friend in
the department.-Texas Farm and
