High Toned Grabs.
come.

612A 4OA0O
Our readers will doubtless recall the
salary grab INDUCED in by the members
of the house of representatives last fall
in which, we believe, the Wisconsin
members refused to participate. A
good deal has been said about this item
of public looting, and finally Congress-
mamie 1eary ofMinnesota has attempt
ed to explain. This explanation doesn' t
explain at all like unto McCeary's
usual efforts and the ST Paul Dispatch
states the situation so briefly, CURLY
and concisely that we quote its re-
marks:
cit is an old and sometimes true say
ing, that the path of safety is the path
of audacity. Congressman McCleary
evidently believes it to be so. He voted
for constructive" mileage for that
constructive recess" that occurred be-
tween the instantaneously successive
raps of Speaker Cannon's gavel an
nouncing the end of the extraordinary
and the opening of the regular session.
The interval was hardly the duration
of wink, and yet ninety six represen-
tatives, McCleary, Tawney and Davis
among them, voted that they should be
paid mileage for travel imaginatively
done in that snapshot interval from
Washington home and back again, a
matter of 1920 to $4OO for each.
There was pretty loud roar of pro-
test and criticism; echoes of the salary
grab roar of twenty odd years ago. 1t
was roundly denounced as conscience
less grab; clear case Of graft; happily
defeated by the senate; doubly motived,
rapping at once the president and the
house. Mr.. McCleary breaks the silence
the others have strictly kept to explain
why he voted for the grab. He quotes
the law-that is, we assume he quotes
it-as stating that "the compensation
of a congressman for services rendered
to his country shall be S., 900 perannum
and in addition thereto mileage at the
rate of 20 cents a mile to and from his
home for each regular session of con-
gress, over the most convenient route"
Please note his remark that "the law
does not state that we have to do any
travelling to secure the mileage, where
fore and therefore, the mileage is part
of the compensation, part of the sal
airy, intended to be such"
An examination of the matter shows
that only those members of congress
that had immense majorities saw fit to
take this grab. They need attention
if they are retained in congress, their
maiorities need cutting down. Nothing
ia so deterrent to easy-conscienced Off
Gals as a checking up at the polls.
Defeat is more effective and better de-
served, but until the American people
have come to the point of insisting upon
honesty in public office, we shall have
to be satisfied with healthy scare.

RUBBER PLANTS POPULAR.

Not Sold IT, Brooklyn Only; Washing
 ton Takes Thousands Annually. From the Washington Post.
 No" said the florist, "the rubber plant is not a thing peculiar to Brook lyn.
 "Years ago some wag, for a joke, said that Brooklyn was the home of babies and rubber plants, and the joke has stuck ever since, until now the rubber plant has come to be regarded as a sort of emblem of Brooklyn life. But as matter of fact, there are as many rubber plants sold per capita in Washington as there are in Brooklyn.
 'The rubber plant is now sold by department stores as well as by florists, and 1t is popular everywhere and in great demand throughout the country. from Washington to San Francisco.
 "This great popularity of the rub Der plant has come about largely with. in the last twenty-five years. It is an exotic. which is one thing that com.
 mends it. and then I think It's name has helped it in the popular fancy greatly.
 And then it Is big and showy and striking plant. and 1t comments itself to many who might not be equally attracted to, say, palms or ferns. And it is plant comparatively easy to care for and to raise by any one interested, and it is of compara lively quick growth; it rewards it's owner.
 "The rubber plant Is grown from slips. or cuttings. I don't know of any florist who devotes himself exclusively to the rubber plant, but it is grown by many florists among those who give their attention more especially to
 decorative and ornamental rather than to towering plants.

 Here Is the substance of her manifesto.
 There are great many things in New York that need to be changed. Plain clothes men must stop grabbing up child ren and carrying them away from their mothers and sending them off to places where no one can see them but once in while. When the children's mother has money, or can get some one to lend her money-twenty or twenty-five dol lars-then she pays the money and the children are not carried away.
