The latest mess of graft to be dug
up and pollute the nostrils of honest
men is the find in the Department
Of Agriculture. old Grandmother Will
sons bureau. And it wasn't unearth-
ed by the Government, either. The
Government dosn't seem to be in
the unearthing business to any con-
siderable extent A member of the
New York Cotton Exchange, suspect
ing there was a leak somewhere, did
some investigating on his own book,
and he was not long in finding out
that a st4tistician in the department
was selling information TO those in
terested and reaping a big harvest
from his rascality. He worked a pref
ty slick scheme. He sold 100000
worth of mine stock TO cotton brok-
er. getting for it $4,000. The broker
testifies that he never saw the mines
and didn't want to.
The crop news he got from Holmes
was all he wanted. This is only a
specimen. Holmes has made similar
sales" until he has grown rich, be-
ing able to build apartment houses
in Washington and do other things
usually done only by men of large
means. OF course, when he was found
out he was fired. He was only an
assistant, being without influence. he
will be punished. LOOMS, of the
State Department, stood in" with the
asphalt people. but being fayorite
at court, he got his nice new coat of
whitewash and promotion! Twas
ever thus. The clerks and the as
sistants who get caught doing dirt
get into the penltentiary. If they can
not carry State conventions, but who
will point out the name of the big
ger fellow, the really responsible
rogue, who has been punished?

Taft Allows One to Serve
With Other.
MORTON RULES AGAINST IT
Lieutenant McCaskey Assigned on Staff

Lieutenant Evans Separated.
MORTON RULES AGAINST IT

Secretaries Taft and Morton are unable
to agree as TO whether it is good or
bad fer young officer TO serve as aide
cie-camp@ on the staff of his father.
The former thinks il is all right. The
latter is equally certain it is all wrong
Both have recently decided the question,
one adversely and the other fayoring
the idea
Two Applications.
The matter came to the attention of
Secretary Morton on the application OF
an admiral, supposed to be Evans, to
have his son detailed as flag secretary
Secretary TAFT had TO think about
ii when Gen. William S. McCaskey
took this moment to ask that his son,
Lieut.. Douglas McCaskey, be assigned
to his staff, when he assumed command
of the Department of the Columbia,
with headquarters at Vancouver Bar
racks.
The application of the admiral was
denied That of the general granted.
The generals request was aeceded to
by Secretary Taft before he knew il
was z question of much heart-burning
interest 10 officers. 1t is probable that
hereafter he will make no more assign
n.ents of that kind.
Chances of Injustice.
The navy theory is that q son on the
stan Of his father will either get more
than is coming 10 him, or if he does moi
get that he will receive less on account
Of his fathers intention to show ne
favoritism.
On shipboard the chance to show
favoritism or to do less than justice is
So much greater than at an army post
that Secretary Morton can see no ex.
cuse whatever for allowing father anC
sen TO serve together.
In the army a son is never permitted
to serve in the regiment OF which his
father IS colonel

Postmaster General Cortelyou is one
CT the finest amateur pianists in the
country. Indeed, at one period Of his
life he seriously considered making
music his profession. Whenever the
cares of his office have proven unusually
heavy he goes to his den and sits down
al the piano in the dark. Mrs. Cortel-
you knows when he is beginning to for
get his official troubles, for then he
ceases the minor strains with which
he always begins and passes TO more
lively music, generally finishing with a
triumphant march Mr. CorteIyou finds
music that other men find IN drink
