WASTE IN PUBLIC PRINTING

The Lands committee which was appointed
" President Roosevelt has succeeded in reveal
ny the fact that there is vast amount OF waste
with government printing. With refer
,nce to the disclosures already announced the
Columbus Press.Post says:
The superintendent of the senate's docu-
ment room testified that senators had docu-
ments bound and forced upon them whether
they wanted them or not. He recommended
that only such copies as the senators desired
bound from their original copies be printed;
and stated that since he became superin-
tendent of documents for senators the amount
of government printing had increased four
fold Still more startling was the testimony
Of A. H. Brewer, foreman of the senate fold
ing room, who said that he had 100000 copies
Of the department Of agriculture year book
on hand, which no one seemed to want. Five
million volumes of this expenively illustrated
book are printed each year, each senator be-
ing entitled to 1888 copies, but few take
the trouble to claim them or send them TO
their constituents. He stated further that
there are in the senate folding room at the
present time, 542,354 documents for which
there is absolutely no demand. Another Wit
ness, Daniel Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms told
the committee that he had been compelled
to hire huge, unused horse car barn TO
hold the books that are being piled in on
him, and for which there seem to be no de-
mand In the face of this statement the
decision Of the committee is clear, and there
should be no hesitancy on the part OF elm
mating tn gigantic waste in public printing
which is costing the United States govern
ment many thousands of dollars, and which
is bringing no benefit to any man, woman or
child in the country.

MAY PROVE PERIL TO ENGLAND

The New York Tribune Farmer holds that
the Salvation Army carries out General Booth
Ian to colonize great numbers OF the English
easantry in the United States it will be ca
amity for the English nation:
Briefly stated, the plan is to regard Eng
land as oyerpopulated and therefore to pro-
mote wholesale emigration of the intelligent,
healthy industrious and efficient elements OF
the population, leaving the ignorant, sick and
HELPLESS human derelicts behind. Now, or
course. If there is to be any great emigration
those lands to which it Is directed would pre-
fer to have it of the character proposed. But
what would be the effect upon E4 gland OF
thus taking away the Drawn and brain OF the
people? :" bold peasantry. their country's

moved by emigration. Such a process carried
to any considerable extent-suffciently TO re-
lieve the alleged overcrowdin6 OF population
would be ruinous to the mother country.
1t would leave there those who need to be
cared for without any one to care for them.

PLANS TO CURE CORRUPTION

The editor of the Medical World praises the
.orrunt practises acts of England and thinks
,at we should do well in this country to adopt
,e same penalties to deal with graft and corrup'
on
During the early part Of the last century
nolitical corruption in England became 80 eA-
IRENE that something simply had TO De done.
This necessity gave rise to anti-corruption
laws which are called corrupt practices acts
The strict execution of these has practlcaily
done away with political corruption there.
7 remember one feature of these acts Wnlcn
makes them selfoperative: II the deIealeu
side can prove that the successful slde useu
corrupt methods-purchased vote or cnea,eu
in any way-then the victory IS Vltia.eu
and the minority party assumes otfce. Inls
causes a contest for purity as well as Tor VIC
tory: for victory without purity is likely 10
he turned into defeat. How much better lnls
is than our method of contendlng Tor VICTORY
regardless of corruption. The result IS that
corruption is rife, almost everywhere III our
electoral system. Our large corporations
arc nrominent feeders of political corruption.
They have special interests to serve as
against the interests of the general public
and for this reason they seek TO put men
in office who will serve their interests rather
than those of the public. For example, the
well known corruption of our city govern
mentS mas DGcH CduScu Ny poouo 80
franchises for public service corporations,
as gas companies, street railway companies,
water companies, etc., and by the manlpula-
ton of contracts for public works( the paving
of Streets construction OF various pupnc
works etc. The value OF these franchises
in cities has grown immensely during recent
wears. and as this value is created by the
neople 1t should belong exclusively to the
neonle Of the cities concerned, and the SER
vices should be operated in the interest OF
said neople. But these franchises have been
ruthlessIy given away to corrupting corpora
lions all over this country, the corporations
bribing councimen and aldermen to give
away the rights of the people. Corrupting
corporations like to keep in office men whom
they can bribe and USE hence they do not
hesitate to corrupt elections in order to put
men In Office who will serve the corporations
rather than the people. A law like the
corrupt practices acts OF England, rigidly
inforced. would make 1t impossible for cor
ruptly elected men to assume Office. There
are now Corrupt practices acts" In several
of our states, but they have not been effective
because the public conscience has not been
sufficiently aroused TO demand their inforce-
ment This fact speaks for itself. and II is
not compliment to our people hut the
insurance revelations and other previously
hidden matters that are now coming TO the
light indicate that things are moving; and
think they will continue 10 move until the
