A DISGRAcEFUL ACT

The men who voted for the miser-
able little mileage steal in the federal
house Of representatives ought to be
marked for permanent discredit and
defeat. This is the most wretched and
indefensible form Of graft. One would
not be less repealed, but he would have
less disgust for a bold raid involving
millions than for this form of pilfering,
few hundred dollars in his pocketbook
and walk off with it.
There is not syllable of defense to
be uttered in behalf Of this dishonesty,
which even the easy going senate could
not swallow. The special session and
the regular session at the beginning of
the life of this congress ended and be-
gan at the same instant of time. One
was adjourned and the other the next
instant called to order, and work prog
ressed without interruption. Yet in
the mythical interval between these
wv PCiAcOS many lhinSo were sup
posed to take place. Among them were
vacancies in office and the sending in
by the president of nominations Among
them the members of the house have
chosen to imagine that there occurred
trips to their homes and back again.
For these wholly fictitious journeys
they propose to pay themselves mile
age out of the federal treasury. We
do not see how any man who voted for
this proposition can ever again look
his constituents in the face.
The whole system of paying mileage
ought to be done away with. 1t opens
the door to just such jobs as this
Everybody knows that comparatively
few senators and representatives pay a
cent for their transportation. They ride
on passes. Even those who pay their
fare pay the regular passenger rate;
which is not to exceed three cents per
mile, and less than that in some states
and on some forms of transportation.
The mileage allowance is twenty cents
per mile. There is nc reason for this
difference. 1t is merely an inheritance
from the time when it cost a lot of
money to travel. and it remains unaI-
tered because the peoples representa-
tives have not sufficient sense of pub!
lie morality to make, them change the
charge to correspond with changed
conditions. First they steal the differl
ence' between the mileage allowance
and their actual expenses, which il
generally the entire amount, and then
they propose to appropriate to them
selves this payment for trip that not
one OF them ever made or thought of
making.

Grafton ago retired to private life most
OF those who favored or winked at 1t.

TAXING THE BACHELOR

i House bill No. $50 introduced in the
Illinois house of representatives by a
married legislator threatens to deplete
the purse of the unmarried male of that
state. If it is passed all bachelors will
have to pay tax Of $5 yearly to the
school fund. The bill is now in the
hands of the committee on revenue,
and if that organization is as unsenti-
mental as it's name implies, It seems
probable that its report will not be ia
vorable to the unmarried males.
But though the object of constant
attack, the bachelor has heretofore
been able to triumph over the married
legislator, and it may be that he will
yet escape the odium of tax in ILL
nois. There are probably few unmar-
ried men in that state who would have
any decided objections to helping swell
the school fund, but of course the prin-
ciple of the thing has to be considered,
and doubtless every bachelor is con-
vinced that if he begins by paying for
the tuition Of other mems children he
will end by buying their shoes.
However. it is the unmarried woman.
not the bachelor, who should rebel
against the imposition OF such a tax.
1t is a curious fact that whereas the
spinster is the object of the deepest
commiseration on the part of the married
legislator and other married individuals
as well, the bachelor appears to be an
fort to tax him indicates that he is en-
joying a superior happiness for which
he should pay. Their very persecution
of him puffs him UP. Hounded by the
legislators, he is very apt to come to
the conclusion that after all he Is en-
joying LIFE and TO attribute what they
term their public spirit to private spite.
Were the bachelor commiserated as
is the spinster, he would probably soon
cease to represent a problem TO the
married legislator Introduce a bin pro-
viding for home for aged and indigent
bachelors and their number would less-
en- as IL by magic, for he is not as
superior to public opinion as is his
unmarried sister. Once nfs<ee him the
object Of pity and his finish will be
easy to predict. As 1t is his number
increases for the reason that legisIa-
lures have given the public to under
stand that his liberty is as precious q
possession as jewels. or an automobile,
and must be taxed accordingly.

Among the Merrymakers
Without Ceremony

There is In Philadelphia a young archi-
tect who. though entitled by birth and
preceding to enter the. sacred precincts OF
QUAKER city society, has always affected
a supreme Indifference to socfai Clistinc-
tIon. even going so far as to evince a dis
mcnnation to observe the conventional
tiles.
This young man tells a good story on
hlmseif. 1t appears that when he had
proposed to and had been accepted by
the young woman who is now his wife
ne began at once to talk of the wedding

Just as it was proposed six weeks ago
to rush through the original code.
Obviously this is still more critical
situation. If it was wrong to have
legislation for the people by three,
gentlemen acting as a revision COM;
mission, it is still worse to have legis-.
lation for the state by lot of at
torneys working for special interests.
More than one instance has been dis,
covered where these amendments.

and grave error in the code as sub;
mitted. have been so worded as to-
authorize some other grave error
against the public welfare. but to the
interest of those who framed it. The time
left is now too short to investigate
thousand or more propositions, sub
mitted in many cases by private. at
torneys, all of whom are working for
outside parties and have ends of their
own to serve. Woodchucks would be

were if this went through.
There is only one plain solution of
the problem. if such the situation can
be called. The legislature faces a
duty that cannot be performed within
the time limit. 1t would not hesitate
if it were asked to build new capitol
building equal to the present structure
before adjournment. 1t would call the
demand silly, and, if such a building
construction. The legislature is not
responsible for present conditions The
revision of our laws as made by the
commission was improperly done. 1t
was so delayed that the legislature
could not scrutinize 1t thoroughly in
less than couple Of months, and real
ly needed a year. The amendments
which have been found absolutely
necessary to prevent injustice and mis-
to sift and to make safe. To the busi-
ness mind the obviously proper course
is to commit this matter for two years
more to better hands, requiring the
submission of "a proper code at least
thirty days before the meeting of the
next Legislature. Then we shall not
walk blindfold into a labyrinth OF
sword blades. Let us get rid of the
notion that a code is Indispensable.
Let us put away that fetch and act
like rational beings. He who pro-
poses the adoption at this session of
any code, since the formation OF
code at once satisfactory and safe
within the time limit has become i'm
possible, is either the victim of this
delusion or an enemy of the people.
What could be more in tune with the
simple life than the cowboy frisking
gayly along Pennsylvania avenue
mounted upon latter day relatives of
the steed T. Jefferson fastened, with
Jeffersonian simplicity, to the palings
of the white house?

THE CONSULAR SERVICE. AND
THE sPoILS SYSTEM

The promise Of the administration
that the consular service would be
strengthened and stimulated to fresh
activity by the infusion Of fresh blood
after March is about to be realized
and the redemption of that promise
will permit the liquidation of many
political debts incurred by the people
who acted for Mr.. Roosevelt in the
campaign of last year, We have some
doubts about the sincerity of the
promise of reform, but no doubts at all
about the infusion of fresh blood.
The consular service of the United
States is not of as high character as
1t should be. That is admitted on all
hands. 1t Is administered very largely
by men lacking altogether in dipIo-
| matte training-which is not to be
reckoned as wholly against the efficien-
| cy OF the service. The trouble with it
is that the service has been made the
| dumping ground for politicians who
could not be placed at home and who
have been sent abroad solely because
they held the notes of the powers that
appointed them. Being essentially good
politicians some of them have created
good things for themselves; few have
done anything to add to the reputa-
ton Of the country abroad. They
have been too busy making the best
Of the situation they found themselves
in to do much to improve the, lot of
the American abroad or promote the
| national interests of the nation they
! represent.
But the service as il stands at pres
ent is composed of men who have set
tied down to their berths, who have
| imbibed by absorption some knowledge
of the people among whom they dwell;
who have worn off much of their un-
couthness. These are to be replaced
by raw men whose only commendation
! will be that they are properly affected
TO the existing order in Washington.
Announcement mas Deen made OF the
appointments in some cases, and it ap-
pears that in these particular cases the
nominations have been made because
of the activity OF the individuals in
| behalf of Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t was to be expected that Mr..
Roosevelt would find opportunity TO
reward his friends, to surround him
self and his administration by men
| who had been useful to him. But the
hypocrisy of the thing-the justifica-
ton Of this application of the spoils
| system to the consular service on the
ground that fresh blood is necessary
will not increase the reputation of Mr..
Roosevelt for righteousness.

FRENCH PRESS PRAISES
ROOSENELT'S ADDRESS
Paris Newspapers Join in Making
Most Favorable Comment

PARIS, March 5.-President Roose-
velt's inaugural address is the subject
of much comment by the newspapers
here. The Temps characterizes it as
triumphal hymn to the American ma
tion's grandeur and prosperity, and
adds that it smacks of Roosevelt as an
imperialist, expansionist and militarist.
The Journal des DebatS says: Pres
ident Roosevelt's address shows conf
dence in himself and also in the ma
tion's destinies.'
The Patrie says that the address is a
highly inspired manifesto and that
President Roosevelt is conscious of the
role which he is called upon to play
and also of his country's mission to-
ward humanity.

At St. Paul Theaters

Another story of the civil war. Win
ston Churchilrs novel 1.-The Crisis"
dramatized by himself. was presented
at the Metropolitan last night.
The play is a diSjointed affair. The
necessary omissions are so sharply and
clearly cut away that the spectator has
no provocation to crfticise the opera
ton. But the author has preserved the
silken thread of love in so visible
form that the play has its excuse for
being. The rebel girl falls. finally, into
the arms of the northern captain. It's
love story after all.
This happens in the last act, which
is undeniably the best of the four. 1t
Is IN agreeable contrast to the preced-
ing acts. which are somewhat noisy
and confusing.
The slavery issue is discussed, pre-
ana con. by two violently opposed vet
erans-Tone a worshiper of Abraham
-IneOfh' the other a southerner who
detests and vilifies him as the friend Of
the negro.
Though written by Mr.. Churchill
since the result of the war, the lines
spoken by Judge Whipple, foretelling
the triumph of the north and extoiIino
Lincoln have a prophetic ring bound to
incite applause. The very name of
Abraham Lincoln is justifable ex-
cuSe for applause, which the play-
wright, in this instance. seems to have
frequently recognized. for he rings the
changes on Uncle Abe"
The action of the play all takes place
IN and about St. Louis, beginning in 1857
and ending in 1868, after the Vicks-
burg incident.
Nannette Comstock impersonates Vfr-
ginia Carvel, the daughter of Col. Car
Vel, whose religion is hatred of a Yam
kee. Miss Cemstock merits commenda-
ton for her sensible portrayal
OF this character, her avoidance
or the center of the stage
when she might easily occupy
IT. for her evident appreciation of
woman's sphere, which in this instance
was not to marshal regiments, but to
stay at home and nurse soldiers. Her
virginia ICarvel was essentially q
woman to soothe a soldier, not an
amazon to shame woman.
In snort, Miss ComStock embodied a
woman whose coquetry made her in
teFesting, but whose denotement of
hllal affection for her father dispelled
all doubt of her sincerity. The femi-
nlnity OF her portrayal was it's domi-
mating note.
Adequate support was afforded by
crosby Leonard. who played the cold
and conservative Stephen Brice. a lit

THE CODE FETCH

The strange attitude of large num-
Der of the members OF the legislature
and some people outside of it is sum-
med up by the statement of a member
in debate that if the method of dealing
with code revision suggested were to
be followed the state would not have
a code for forty years Well, what of
It? These people have persuaded them
selves that a code is necessary of
life like food, or at least something
as essential as a life preserver ON
shipboard, something without which
great and irreparabIe disaster is likely
at any time to overwhelm the state.
By much thinking and talking about
the code a lot of people have fuddled
themselves into this position, not
thinking that we have existed for a
good many years without code and
are not likely to suffer in the next two
years more than in the last if we do
not have one.
1t is vital to the interest of the state
that legislators and others should take
a sane view of this matter. A code is
very desirable. We have a vast mass
OF unadjusted and heterogeneous laws
covering the same subjects Portions
of them are valid, portions have been
thrown out by the courts, judicial in
terpretations have made some of them
good and others worthless, and every
one would be we'll served by a revision
that should straighten out the tangle
and give us body of consistent, SIM
pie and adjudicated law For this end
the code revision commission was ap-
pointed. This end we still want to reach.
This end can be accomplished in a
simple and natural way. But we can
out a brand new code over night. any
more than we could build a battleship
in a month. Meanwhile the absence
of code until one can be properly
framed will not affect anybody invid-
iously, while the dangers of this hasty
action are SO monumental and terrify-
ing that it will be inexcusable folly
and crime to invite Them
We are now exactly where we were
In the middle of January when this
code was submitted, although it must
be confessed that the dangers involved
In mistaken action are much more
formidable than they were then. AT
that time the code as prepared by the
:, revfsers was just issued, and 1t was
found that numerous changes in the
law had been: mades so that many in
terests would be materially and I'M
! juriously affected If the code were
adopted as it. stood. In a word, the
: legislature was concerned with vast
accumulation of unknown matter, in
any portion Of which a powder mine
might be concealed. It would have
been criminal to adopt this without in
vestigation, and the necessary investi-
cation has been made. The commit
tees have worked faithfully, and they
have been assisted by outside attorneys,
many of them of the highest ability,
but all of them working with one eye
open to the interests Of the state and
the other to those of their clients
In this manner more than thousand
amendments have been added to the
code; and now it is proposed to rush
these through without investigation,
