MARK TWAIN TALKS ON GRAFT.

(Roston Transcrint.l


Sitting in the library of $. B. Pear
mans house in Beacon street last even

w entworth higglnson, 10 put in a
genial word now and then, Mark
Twain, the author. talked 10 a party
of new spdper men OF some of the top

to the BRUSH ana south Airioa, tner
greed as the cause OF the war, their
cCmmissary scandals and graft at
home and abroad.
Asked what he thought of the Nc
Curdy disclosures now coming to the
front i'll New York, he SAID: They re-
mind me OF the p4agae they had in
Bombay some years ago wnen i was
there, Every day they would discover
a new plague center. 1t was here to-
day, there tomorrow and somewhere

When asked how he thought this new
IL .aasa

Rocketellers success had anything TO
do with it, Mr.. Clemens said:
Il suppose ii has had something TO
do with it. It's a new thing. I believe.

IL was suggested that perhaps the
civil war and the big army contracts
and the reconstruction period might
have been the origin of thes new bust
ness ideals. and Mr.. Clemeps admitted
that perhaps it was out of these things
that the later business ethics grew.
we gave to the world the spirit of
liberty more than one hundred years
ago, and now we are giving the world
the spirit of graft" he said. Look
at the British army scandals during the
Boer war No British commissioned

spirit OF graft has spread"
