WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondence


Federal graft in its various forms
is just now insistently before the
public. Here in Washington the
belief is that before the session is
ended there will be q stirring up of
scandals that will place the. Repub-
lican Party on trial before q grand
jury OF all Of our citizens. The very
recent disclosures of graft in the
Agricultural Department. those
more remote in the Post Office De-
partment, the Printing Office eviden-
ces Of favoritism and echoes of past
scandals in the Navy Department
still ring in the ears of the people
and demand that some serious a.
tention shall be paid to them.
do not know but that this rail-
road rate regulation agitation, which
has been instrumental In uncover
ing the evils of the operations of
the beef trust, has been q good
thing in calling attention to its pos
sibilities under the increased DOW
ers which would be given to the
political commission. Railways in
their operation use o lot Of patented
devices Of various kinds and their
selection might be mada Q medium
for one of the iuiciest lot Of graft
operations that the country has yet
known. The Commission has re-
Gently suggested that on all freight
trains more air brakes be put In
operation. Suppose we had q poll
teal commission In Washington
that was to tell the railroads what
air brakes were to be used. Could
not somebody get q rake-off that
would be worth several million dol
lars by specifying that the BEL
kins" air brake. for example, would
prove satisfactory? Then suppose
the Commission should desire that
the present buffers and couplers
were not just what they should be
but that "Belkins" had q make that
was absolutely perfect and would
prevent all accidents. Would there
not be chance for another good,
handsome rake-off2 And judging
from what has been done about
type-setting machines, mail chutes,
crop statistics, river and har-
Dor appropriations, armor plate
selections and q dozen other things,
haven't we o right TO believe in the
light of the evidence now opening
up that political commission with
these pickings at hand would be

The profound truth that tomorrow
never comes, and yesterday, although il
il always passing, has never been with
~, has led a correspondent TO throw OF
this little effort:
Although yesterday today was to-
morrow, and tomorrow today win be
yesterday, nevertheless yesterday tomor-
row would be the day after tomorrow,
because today would he tomorrow yes
terday. and tomorrow win be today TO-
morrow. or would have been theday aft
er tomorrow yesterday" We thought
as much.

Employ Public Press.
Where it becomes necessary, we
have had occasion to employ columns
of the public press for discreet advo-
cacy of our views. This method was
found to be very efficacious but 1t
has also been found to be very expen
sive have found in my work In eV-
cry legislative body in the United
States there was as large propor-
ton Of honest men as there is in any
body of men in any walk Of life Per-
nit me also to state that in my work

A statement of the money received
by Hamilton shows total of $720,550
tention to the expense of $S3,100 for
'.Retainers and newspaper articles"
IN 1904 and says a large portion OF
this expense was occasioned by an at
tempt to create public sentiment thru
out the United States, in favor of ma
tional supervision.
Concerning the s235,00o charged
against him by the New York Life,
Hamilton says his accounts are still
open and that he has mo objection as
an evidence Of good faith during my
absence, pending settlement of these
accounts, to place in the custody or
the company 100000, which 1t may
hold, and which is to be repaid In
whole or in part as may appear upon
such future adult" In concluding his
statement, Hamilton says that the in
functions of the president of the New
York Life to me were always unmis-
takably explicit that my expenditures
and work were to be strictly confined
within the limitations of the law of the
land. These instructions have been
faithfully followed to the letter. There
never has been disbursement made
by me of the company's funds which
trespassed upon the instructions given
me by the president of this company,
and l want it thoroughly understood
not one dollar of any moneys ever paid
to me by the New York Life has been
used improperly or for improper pur-
poses, or in any way that transgressed
either the statutory law or the moral
law"
