The troubles at the Schuylkill Arsenal.
Philadelphia, were aired somewhat last
winter when many seamstresses were laid
offin order that the work they were ac-
customed to do might be given to favorite
contractors, have culminatedin the hold
ing up of contracts for army clothing, in
volving $500, 900. President Roosevelt
interferred on behalf ofthe seamstresses,
restoring them to work, it being alleged
that the work by the contractors was vast.
ly inferior to theirs. and that it had pas
sed with the connivance of Government
inspectors. The inferior work of the con.
tractors has been held up at last, it simply
being another case of graft at the expense
of the government.

ination ! In Texas the Gulf Refining
Company is experiencing what the rail.
roads can, and do, do to enable the Stand.
ard Oil Co. to crush all opposition. In
order to prevent the Gulf Refining Co.
from shipping its refined product from
the Texas oil field and competing on, an
equal footing with the Standard Oil Co
the railroads have made rate ON refined
oil from New Orleans to Chicago of Al
cents per 100 and for the benefit of Stand.
ard Oil the companies made the rate over
the same road from Chicago to New Or.
leans only 20 cents per hundred. And
the rate from New Orleans to Cincinnati
is 50 cents per 100, while the Standard
Oil is allowed to ship its oil south from
Cincinnati to New Orleans for 2aH cents.
Thus the Gulf Refining company is bar.
red out of northern markets, while the
Standard Oil octopus is given wide.open
field in the south to ruin its competitor
there.
Rate regulation indeed, the only thing
that will prevent such Determinations Is
government ownership of the railroads,
when every shipper, large and small.
would be required to pay the same rate
for service rendered.

The result of the naval battles betwee

The result of the naval battles between
Russia and Japan has presented wildly
some practical lessons for the '.big stick
ers." When the war between these two
countries began Japan's navy was not
more than third the size of that of her
burly antagonist, while now after these
two navies have been pitted against each
other in some of the most notable of con-
flicts, Russia has but remnant of a navy
left, while Japan's navy is practically as
large as ever. 1t has been contest of
numbers against skill, Russia placing her
dependence in the overwhelming size of
her naval armament, while the Japs de-
voted every energy towards equipping
every vessel of their navy with skilled
officers and men, and the outcome has
proven the wisdom of her course. Ell
cheney has always been the aim of the
United States in the manning and equip
ping of her fighting craft, but the "big
stick" policy has been to increase the
number of vessels so rapidly that there is
now the greatest difficulty in manning
them.

HIGH Salaries.

In this era of frenzied finance when
presidents Of insurance companies, rail-
roads, and other gigantic corporations
receive such princely salaries, the ques-
ton of increasing the salaries of our
government officials is continually being
brought up. An exchange referring to
the matter makes some sensible deduc-
tons when it says: "The President of the
United States receives salary of $5o,ooo
a year; the members of his cabinet, IS. 900
each-total for the bunch, $I22, 900.
This looks small in comparison with what
is paid in the insurance business, and
there are patriots who are disposed to
take the matter up in behalf of the Presi-
dent and the cabinet officers. The gov
eminent does not have to pay more. If
a man does not want to be President of
the United States, on account of the sal
airy. he can make the struggle of his life
to be president of an insurance company
and to get the policy holders where they
can not help themselves. There will be
men left who will prefer to be President
of the United States, and men, too. who
will be willing to sit up nights to see how
the grafters can be headed off. A man
in the public service ought not to have
his salary so high that he is tempted to
forget all about the public service. If he
does not care about the public service
then he ought not to be tempted to en-
large himself in hypocrisy by batting the
hook with an extravagant salary. An
increase in the salary of the President
and in the salaries of the cabinet officers
would touch the whole line of officialdom
with unrest. Senators and representatives
would brood over the discrimination
against them, and janitors in the public
buildings would be found with stubs of
lead pencils figuring on various propo-
sitions as to where they ought to come in.
The government ought to spend less
money and not more on salaries. The
list is larger than is required and it should
be pruned. The public service is no
place to exploit frenzied salaries. and
tendency in that direction is block to
reform and an encouragement to graft
everywhere"

Perhaps there has never been time
since the star-route scandals and the
other Government scandals of that time
that there has been as much corruption in
the conduct of the United States Govern.
ment as there is at this time or has been
recently, says Baltimore's bright lumin-
airy, The Sun. in.speaking of corruption
in the Departments. Almost every de.
partment has become infected with a
virulent disease. The postofice frauds
and abuses are fresh in the public mind,
and that department of the Government
seemed rotten to the core. The State
Department has just made an exhibition
of the Loomis scandal. The condition Of
affairs in the Navy Department is illus.
trated by recent occurrence at
Charleston. The rottenness of the De-
partment of the Interior has been on
public exhibition in the courts for some
time past. And now comes the Depart
ment of Agriculture with its Holmes
scandal. We are threatened with a
Philippine scandal, and the conditions at
Panama are all ripe for crookedness on a
big plan.

Most physicians have begun to realize
that consumption is killing far too many
people each year, and that each doctor in
active practice, has share of the respon-
sibility to bear. The question is, is he
doing what he can to meet the response
bility and discharge his obligation to so
ciety by learning all that other people
have learned about this disease, or is he
seeking to add to the sum of knowledge
of the awful scourge, and is he putting
into his own practice, the use of such
knowledge.
It would be interesting to know, for iu-
stance, how many consumptives in this
county, are. under the advice of their
physicians, using the scrupulous care
which they should, to protect the people
about them, and at the same time, doing
the simple things necessary to getting
we'll.
1t is known that tuberculosis is cura-
BILE disease. How many, of the dozens of
tuberculous persons in this country are
sleeping out of doors. this summer How
many are following the other simple rules
necessary to their cure, such as eating
large quantities of eggs and fresh beef.
and drinking great deal of milk?
These things are comparatively easy for
people who live in the country and small
towns where the cost of living is not so
high as it is in the larger cities. and ply
sicians in country practice can more east
ly enforce these requirements there.
There are, however, without doubt,
many sufferers from tuberculosis in the
rural parts of the state, and in the smaller
cities and towns, who are living close to,
or below the poverty line. and for these,
and the protection of the community, the
state should make adequate provision at
the next session of the legislature.
There will, undoubtedly, be many and
insistant demands made of the next 1egis-
lature, for appropriations for important
things, yet the people of Maryland. should
begin to realize that provision for poor
consumptives who constitute such ter
rihle menance to the lives Of thousands of
citizens. is perhaps the most important
piece of public work which can be under
taken by the state at this time.

A Railway Presidents VieWs-Con
ditions Will Lead To Govern
ment Ownership.

tTo be plain, shall industrial slavery
be shot to death, as was chattel slavery,
or will predatory wealth be satisfied with
what it already has and release its hold?"
is the question asked by w. S Morgan in
Tom Watson's Magazine. "The Slave
Power overreached itself and lost all Is
it not possible that the bag barons may
profit by that lesson? Only few days
ago 1 received letter from an old friend
who is now railroad president. His
father was large STAKEHOLDER before the
war. In that letter he says: Things are
coming along, but, as you say, slowly,
oh, so slowly. The railroad officials are
assuming much the same attitude of the
shareholders of the fifties, and do not
seem to have any more sense. The
Shareholders could have had gradual
emancipation without war and without
ignorant REIMBURSEMENT. They preferred
war and lost everything. 1t may be a
long time coming, hut government owner
ship is certain. The arrogance and nm
scrupulousness of the railroad officials
and fnanciers make anything else irrec-
oncilable to the best interests of the coun-
try. The American citizen is slow to
wrath, but terror when he gets started
in earnest" This letter is from a man
who has been student of social condi-
tions for years. He has been in the
state legislature and in congress, and
comes from one of the best families in
the south, one whose name is prominent
in the history of that section. His view
is not pessimistic one 1t is based upon
existing conditions. When the pressure
becomes strong enough to break party
ties we are nearing the danger line We
are repeating now just what happened be-
fore the Civil war. Will the trust mag
mates and the managers of corporations
take warning, or will they goad the peo-
pie on to desperatiop?'

The Wisconsin Legislature has passed a
law which requires life insurance conf

every five years. If this law had been
applied to the Equitable company years
ago there would not have been so much
surplus to squander in various ways

Eight Hundred and Twenty-Five Boxes of
Apples by Toppenish Friday Stafford
Will Bring Action Against Yakima County
For Damages and Market Price of Fruit.

County Fruit Inspector, j. Nj. Brown,
destroyed by fire S25 boxes of apples at
Toppenish on Friday of last week, this
being nearly all of shipment by K.
w. STAFFORD of Parker, and which was
condemned by the Inspector. Dat of
the entire shipment of go boxes only
Is were found to be in condition fl
for the market. Mr. Brown, in view of
the fact that Mr.. Stafford had threa =
ened the county with a suit if the fruit
was Destroyed secured the assistance
of two other experienced fruit men of
that vicinity so that evidence as to the
condition of the fruit will not be want
ing. Aside from such evidence, Mr..
Brown armed himself with good sized
bottle of worms which were extracted
from the diseased fruit. These he has
preserved.
State Inspector Huntley also inspec-
ed this carload Of fruit and gave it as
apples he had seen prepared for ship
ment He upheld the county insector
10 the action taken and proposes to
tight the case vigorously if brouet into
court. Mr.. STAFFORD promises to bring
action against the county for recovery
of the market price OF the destroyed
fruit and upon the decision rendered
will depend the validity of the state
fruit law. If the law does not stand
there will be but little use for the in
spector, but if it is declared to be con-
stitutonal, then there will be good
chance for the Yakima product retain
