THE KEEP REPORT.

Every printer in the land has
been interested in the report of
the Keep Commission, which was
appointed some time ago to in
vestigate the affairs of the gov
ernment printing office. The i'm
mediate cause of the demanded
investigation was the report that
great favoritism had been shown
in awarding the contract for a
large number of printing ma
chimes and it was hoped by all
members Of the craft that the
final report would at least make a
comparative showing of the mer-
it's of the two great type machines
which are such great rivals in the
market at the present day, the
Mergenthaler and the Monotype.
In this resp ect the report is dis
appointing for beyond stating
that the contract for the LanstOn
machine was awarded in an ir-
regular way and that some en-
ployees of the department had
stock in the latter COMPANY, the
report, which was made public
last Monday, states that the tests
of the two machines and the re-
ports thereon by the department
were unfair to one of the ma
chimes and therefore valueless.
The history of this contract
shows the tendency to graft in
g government departments.
Here was branch of the govern
ment which was going to make
an investment of hundred
thousand dollars in printing ma
chinery. Immediately the great
printing office was divided into
factions and we find some of the
leading men buying stock in these
concerns with a view of securing
the contract. The Keep report
says that they find that no mon
eys were paid or undue influences
used to secure the important
award but there is whole lot of
reading between the lines. The
factions in the department finally
became so intense that its effici-
ency was impaired, and there was
such great dissatisfaction over
the award of the contl act that
Public Printer Palmer was fired
and the whole department will be
overhauled and e-organized.

in the public schools of the State
are making the requirement
that when old books are present
ed for exchange they must be
accompanied by certificate
from the teacher in whose school
they were used. setting forth the
fact that such books were actually
in use prior to March, 1904.
Governor Vardaman holds that
the agencies have no right to
exact such a requirement. as the
contract between the State and
the publishers contains no clause
relating to this matter. The
Governor states that he intends
to fully protect publishers under
their contract from being i'm
posed upon by second hand book
dealers, and be will also insist
that the contract clauses guaran

FREE RURAL ROUTES.

The Washington bureau Of the
Memphi News Scimetar pre-
Sents some interesting facts re-
lating to the establishment of
free rural routes in the South
since the beginning of the free
rural delivery system. The four
Southern states Of Arkansas,
Tennessee, Alabama and Missis-
sippi are compared by Congress
sional districts and the tables
are at least interesting, mas
much as they show what has
been mplished along this
line in the past few years.
Alabama leads the list of States
with the number of routes al
ready established having 762 to
her credit. Tennessee comes
next with sos routes and Missis-
sippi is third with 29S routes in
force, Arkansas having only 203
in opera ton. Tennessee has the
enormous sum of 2443 petitions
for routes pending, Alabama has
14o7, Mississippi is third with
734 and Arkansas is fourth with
407.
A comp parison of the Congress
sional districts of this State
shows that Gamblers district.
the First, is away ahead of any
other district in the State hav-
ing 1O6 routes in operation and
petitions for 244 more pending.
The first district has very near
double the number of any other
district in the State. the closest
being the Fourth with 81 routes.
The whole showing is decided-
ly creditable to our representa-
tive and shows what he has ac-
com plished along this line in
com parison with the other Con-
Rressional representatives of tie
State.
