The folly of maintaining custom
houses to serve the interests of poll.
ticians is clearly outlined by James
r. Reynolds, second assistant of tlfe
United States treasury, who says that
of the 157 custom ports in our country
Ill do not pay expenses. Crisfeld,
Nd, received S22.7O In customs last
year and s2,700 was paid out for
salaries. Beaufort. N. c., took in s155
in revenues and the salaries paid to
gather this tiny sum were about ST.
800. All told, these Ill Offices, where
the receipts fall behind the expenses,
cost the government nearly 100000
every year.

When the Civil War closed the
Union army had an enrolment Of a
little more than a million. In June
Of this year the report Of the Commits
sioner OF Pensions showed more than
ak hundred and eighty thousand sur
vivors on the pension rolls. There
are probably many veterans who do
not appear on the pension rolls, so that
ths number Of survivors is remark
ably large. Certainly the sentimental
cartoon which the newspapers print
each Memorial day OF the thin blue
line" and decimated ranks does not
represent the facts.

The new Anglo-Japanese treaty
differs from the earlier treaty IN
several important particulars. 1t runs
for a period of ten years; 1t embodies
recognition on the part Of Great
Britain OF the paramount political,
military and economic interests of
Japan In Korea, and on the part Of
Japan Of the right Of Great Britain to
take such measures as she may find
necessary for safeguarding her Indian
possessions; it applies the principle Of
''ths open door, for the commerce Of
all nations to Korea; and, most Inn
portant Of all, 1t pledges each power
to come to the assistance OF the other
in war. not merely when Its ally is
attacked by two powers. as in the
sarlier treaty, but when It is involved
in any war in defense Of Its territorial
rights or special interests sin the re-
gions or eastern Asia ana India.'

President Roosevelt is mapping Jut
a lot Of work to occupy the attention
Of Congress when 1t next assemblies.
Questions that are Of great moment to
the business world and the public in
general are to be placed squarely be-
fore the legislators for action. The
Presidents attitude on the railway
rate question has not been modified
since he first directed attention to The
manifest evil that has grown up I'M
der the insidious system of rebates.
Mr. Roosevelt strikes the keynote
when he says the highways must be
kept open to all on equal terms. The
abuses OF the private car line and the
private terminal track and private
side switch system must be stopped,
the President says. There is little
doubt that the majority Of the people
echo his sentiments in this regard. '
the President has his way, power
revise and regulate rates will be IN
vested In the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Another measure OF
great Importance that will be recon-
mended by the President is a bill to
prevent bribery and other forms of
corruption In Federal elections. State
courts have showed in a lamentable
number Of instances that they are not
beyond the baneful influence of ward
leaders, and attempts to punish vio-
lstors OF the sanctity OF the ballot box
have ANONYMOUSLY failed. The abb
soluts publication Of politics probably
will ever remain an iridescent dream,
but there 10 little doubt that Fed
srsl statute, asking the trial of Offend
ers against the ballot out OF the con-
troll OF State courts, would be a long
step forward In commendable eff
fort to free the ballot box OF fraud.
Federal control OF insurance is another
question that will be discussed In the
Presidents message The disclosures
that are being made In the investiga-
ton In New York have aroused a
storm of indignant protest from policy
holders who demand that their inter-
ests shall be protected and safeguard
ed by Federal control.

Because OF the loss Of submarine
boats in Europe the Secretary of the
Navy has ordered that no American
submarine be allowed to go down un-
less accompanied by a convoy equip
ped with hosting apparatus for use
in case OF accident. Every mother
whose son goes aboard a submarins
vessel will be glad that this order has
been issued. And when the President
went down in the Plunger at Oyster
Bay in August, the nation rejoiced
that the convoy was at hand.

Official Paper Of County and City

Judge A. M. Jackson of Winfield,
who was leading counsel for the
defense, in the White Williams cat
tie stealing case here last week,
seems to be the choice of demo-
Gratis everywhere throughout the
state for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton next year. We recognize that
man like Judge Jackson, who is
a prominent figure in national pol
itics, who has served his constitu-
ents in congress and who as a law
yer enjoys reputation among the
profession second to no one in the
state, can lily afford to make the
race for governor, yet if he should
consent to enter the race his pros
poets would be better than that of
any anti-republican since the first
Leedy campaign. The present
state administration is in diSrepute
everywhere and with a strong man
like Jackson to lead them the
chances of the democrats next year
will be good. If public sentiment
at this place is an index of the pop
ular feeling all over the state,Jud
Jackson could command very
large republican vote.
