Queer Reasoning.

Queer Reasoning.
Governor Johnson says that
the present system Of state
drainage is unsatisfactory" for
the reason that the whole state is
made to bear the burden of cost
and recon mends that some plan
be devised by which the area
drained may pay for the cost Of
drainage.
This argument looks very fair
on it's face. AS matter of fact
it is the exact opposite, as a very
brief consideration of the matter
will conclusively demonstrate.
Under the present system the
state appropriates money for the.
drainage Of state lands and for
this purpose only The state
drainage commission has no au-
thority and no right to expend
one penny for the drainage of
any land but state swamp lands,
and not one penny has ever been.

mission for the ditching Of any
lands but state swamp lands.
Whenever the state drains it's
swamp lands nearby lands be.
longing to Individual citizens are
benefited and Governor Johnson
says that these individual citizens
should pay the cost of ditching
the state swamp lands because
their lands are individually bene-
fitted.
The state has spent less than
100000 draining its swamplands
and it has thereby increased the
value Of these lands fully $1,000.

Instead of the State reaching
out to aid it's citizens, the citizens
should reach out to put a big
profit in the pockets of the state.
Could any proposition be more
preposterous?

NOT ON DUTY At HAZING.
Midshipman Whose Dismissal Vas
Recommended ErpIQins.

Mount Holly, N. J., Dec. 14.-N1dshpman Warren
A. Vanderveer in a letter to his parents received
here to-day, states that he not duty Tuesday
night at the time the hazing occurred at Annapolis
Naval Academy for which his dismissal has been
recommended by Rear Admiral Sands.
The midshipman, who is accused of falling to re-
port the hazing which resulted seriously to- first
year cadet Jerdone P. Kimbrough, says that the
hazng was done in the watch before he was placed
on duty and that he knew nothing of 1t till the
case had been Investigated by the officer in charge
That portion of Vanderveer's letter which deals
with the hazng incident is follows:
They have been making Investigations into haz-
ing, and one 'plebe'' told l came on duty last
night on his floor, and when l inspected for abb
sentees, an upper classman who was in his room
told that this 'plebe' had nearly tainted and
that he was trying to fix him up. l didn't know
why he had tainted and didn't think it serious, so
didn't report 1t.
The officer IN charge inspected later and, on find
ing the "plebe' in bed, made an invest1gat ton and
found out that some one had been hazing him.
The officer in charge asked me why didn't report
the matter. I told him / didn't know the cause OF
It and didn't think it serious enough. He reported
me to the commandant for deliberate neglect or
duty and as being unfit to go on duty.
I was UP before the commandant, and ne said
about the same things and said he would recon-
mend me to the superintendent for dismissal He
relieved me from duty, and l am under suspension.
That is 1 am confined to my room and not allowed
to go out for drills or on duty.
The hazing didn't take place while was on duty
and 7 didn't know a thing about 1t. The worst
thought they could do to was to report me and
give me fifty dement's. But they have gone ahead
and recommended me for dismissal

HUNT FOR STAMP THIEF.
Clerks Help to Make Up S5O0'Loss
an WaU-St. Branch of Postoffce.

The inspectors of the Postof1ce are straining
every nerve to find the person who stole 500
in stamps from the Wall-st branch of the POST
ONCE several weeks ago. The unusual activity OF
the inspectors in the financial district yesterday
and secret visit paid to the Wall-st. branch led
to numerous rumors on the street that something
was DOING
The robbery is said by experts to be one of the
most peculiar that the inspectors have had to
unravel in years 1t was not committed by
any one in the department, but by a shrewd. cal
culating thief, by clerk sent purchase
stamps.
Bernard Lynch, cashier at one of the whole
sale windows in the Wall-st branch. was
ried sick about the loss. Lynch, who has been in
the department for many years, is expert in
the wholesale business. Several weeks ago he
opened his window for business with an unusual
supply of stamps. The sale of stamps in the Wall
st. district totals days than $500
There about fifty men and boys in line at
Lynch's window, all holding currency for the
amount of stamps desired. Lynch forgot to turn
the lock the square glass door which sep
arates him from the lineup" and the thief must
have seen this. On the right side of the window
g roll of $4,000 two cent stamps and some odd
cents.
While Lynch busy getting stamps of another
denomination the thief pushed the window open.
slipped his hand In, and the next moment the roll
of stamps gone Lynch missed the roll soon
after, but the thief gone, and all the efforts
of the Postoce inspectors to get the slightest clew
have far been unavailing.
Lynch was stunned when he his loss. He
reported at to the superintendent. The en-
ployes of the office held meeting unknown to
Lynch and subscribed sum that took moro than
half the burden off him. Lynch is deeply grateful,
but does not discuss the case, way another.
Neither would the clerks admit that they had raj
lied to his aid.
An official of the Wall-st. branch said yesterday:
Lynch is an honest fellow; the employees knew
this and they would not be if they hadn't
stood by him There was not moment lost in as
surfing Lynch that the employees would stand by
