CONGRESS- MAY INVESTIGATE.

The disclosures In regard to wrongs
in several departments of the federal
government have naturally created a
demand for the investigation of all de-
partments and it is reasonably to be as
sumed that this demand will persist un-
til there is an investigation that will ex-
tend to every portion of the government
as to which there may be any suspicion
in regard to the proper conduct of pub
lie affairs.
There is unquestionably demand in
the country today for such a cleansing
Of the various departments of the gov
ernment as has not taken place in the
last half century and there is no doubt
that this demand will be insistent. 1t
is the outgrowth of developments which
show beyond question the necessity of
a reorganization in nearly every depart
ment of the government and particularly
in those departments where there is
great financial or pecuniary interests
involved.
1t is a most unfortunate reflection
upon American integrity and character
that our people must be at all times put
under bonds, so TO speak, in order to
keep them in line, and that even when
the utmost care is taken to secure hon
esty and integrity some of them will
stray away and by their conduct wrong
the government and the people.
This has been done by the men who
have been found to have betrayed their
trust in two departments of the gov
ernment and the disclosures naturally
suggest that there may be delinquencies
in other departments. The thought In
evitably points to the expediency Of ex-
tending Investigations to all departments
of the government. The idea is to have
general investigation, which will de-
termine whether or not there is abso-
lutely correct and honest conduct in
every branch of federal affairs.
There can be no question I'm regard to
the propriety Of this. The country Is
entitled to know whether or not the de-
partmental business of the nation is
being administered honestly and on bust
ness principles. The people who sup
port the government have the right to
know as to whether or not those who
are chosen to manage the affairs Of gov
ernment are doing their duty and 1t is
very encouraging fact to find that the
people are from year TO year becoming
more solicitous 20 discover that their
public servants are doing their duty
The statement that congress may in
vestigate the several departments OF
the government ought to be correct
Such an investigation should be made by
the representatives OF the people. 1t is
needed in the interest OF honest and
good government and the republican
party, having control of the government
will make a mistake II it does not in
stitute an investigation Of every gov
ernmental department.

srop BUILDING WOODEN BRIDGES.

| STOP BUILDING WOODEN BRIDGES.
The county board has just entered into
new contract for the construction of
wooden bridges in Douglas county at a
! fixed rate per lineal foot, with additional
items for caps, guards, wings, etc. Into
the merits of the controversy between
competing contractors, each claiming to
be entitled as low bidder to the work,
The Bee does not care to enter, but it
does not hesitate to express the belief
that the whole policy of wooden bridge
building is wrong and that the county
should get away from it as fast as pos
sible.
The building of wooden bridges along
county roads is at best a temporary
makeshift and the expenses for repairs
and replacement make them a continu-
Gus drain upon the taxpayers. In the
early days when 1t was imperative to
get biggest results for the least money
wooden bridges were not only excusable,
but in most cases necessary. The roads
through Douglas county now, however,
are all pretty well laid out. The build
ing of new bridges is a comparatively
small proportion Of the work, the princi--
pal part being the replacement of worn
out bridges.
1t seems to us that the time has ar
rived when ii will be conducive to econ
omy to adopt a general rule against
wooden bridges and for the replacement
Of the wooden bridges as they wear out
with bridges of iron and steel, or ma
sonry, that will stay where they are put
and remain serviceable under proper
care for generations. There will doubt
less always be more or less temporary
or emergency bridge work for which
wooden construction will prove most
seryiceable. but nothing in the way of
permanent bridge should hereafter be
put in In wood.
Douglas county has spent almost
enough money on bridges in the last
dozen years TO put a masonry arch over
every gully and a steel span over every
creek, but an inventory of bridge assets
would disclose that the taxpayers have
comparatively little to show for their
money. Every dollar spent out of the
bridge fund from now on ought to be
made to cunt toward the permanent
improvement of our county roads.

THE ROOT OF EVIL.
Scramble for Money for Purposes of
Vulgar Display.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Cardinal Gibbons expressed a vital truth
in saying that at the bottom of every story
of corruption in public office and in high
fannnce' in this country is the trouble
of money" The distinguished prelate made
a very wise and necessary distinction, in
adding, in response TO inquiry, that the
trouble Of money" is not in the love OF
money for itself, but in the ambition to
acquire It for purposes of extravagant or
magnificent display. He might have added
that II is mistake to assume that graft
ing is confined to the wealthy classes or TO
those who find themselves, through public
official connections, in positions TO acquire
money through betrayals Of trust or con-
idence. There has been OF late years in
every rank Of life, ranging from the lower
middle class up to the highest in point Of
wealth, a craze to excel in display Men
and women whom fate has placed along
the lower lodges OF the mole hill of this
world have, after abandoning hope of
reaching a higher level turned their atten.
ton and energy 10 making themselves the
most resplendent moles on that ledge
where fate has placed them The result
has been peculation, defalcation and other
forms Of dishonesty, so frequent and wide
spread to bring the American name into
deserved reDroach.
At the bottom Of all this mGdness has
been the scramble for money for purposes
of vulgar display. II Cardinal Gibbons is
correct in his opinion that the fear OF
newspaper exposure is now acting as a
salutary restraint upon this evil tendency,
1t must be said that this is only because
the public conscience is now awakening and
public opinion is now condemning the
guilty. Newspapers are no more active
now than they have ever been in detecting
and exposing wrong. The newspapers Of
this country have always been active in
that way. Yet, in spite OF such activity,
the evil OF grating has grown upon the
land, only because the grafters. seeing the
apathy OF the people and realizing that
the possession and spending OF money
would cover a multitude OF sins, have rea-
soned that the end would Justify the
means.
II public conscience and intelligence are
at last aroused II Is newspaper publicity
which has aroused them. For so fast have
such revelations been followed on one an
others heels In the last few years that the
veriest mental sluggard has been capable
OF seeing that the evil would work our ma
tional decay and ruin II suffered TO con-
tinue There are encouraging signs that
we are beginning to go back TO safer and
saner standards Of thinking and living.

CAMP OF HAPPY CHANCE.
President ROOseveIrs Night with the
Boys Means Something.

New York Mail.
A great deal could be pardoned, II there
were things to pardon, to a president of
the United States capable of taking ten
boys off on camping excursion, and being
not only their guide, their story teller,
thelr bear hunter and their Indian scout
but their purveyor and cook as well.
The American people will do anything
Tor president like that. president like
that deserves to have anything done for
MIN. The Sycamore Hill expedition, with
the president joyfully leading the way in
boat to some point unknown and the
ten boys, mostly Roosevelts, still more
Joyfully tugging away at the oars or
other boats following, proves Theodore
Roosevelt really great.
We say it in perfect sincerity. He is
wise enough to know that he is not con-
descending when he goes camping with
these boys. He is not wasting the peoples
time. He is saving it. He is laying up
buoyancy, cheer, vigor, courage, freshness
OF vision, pure out-of-door Americanism,
simplicity, and many other things useful
and necessary for a great statesman.
In the ringing laughter and hearty
cheers of the boys of the Long Island camp
there is the raw material for triumphant
politics and salutory public acts in tense
days that are to come at the national

IMMIGRATION yor A CALAMITY.
Policy of the Open Door Receives

grafton is likely ~ be surpassed ia the next

light upon the immigration question was
shed at the last meeting of the National
CIVIC Federation. when men Of widely div
fering points ~ view discussed the subject
Our traditional national policy Of maintain
Ing an open door 10 the people OF the
world received fresh and decided support.
Some OF the representatives OF the labor
unions had declared In favor OF an abso-
lutte exclusion OF immigration. on the
ground that the keeping out Of alien work.
men tended TO increase their monopoly OF
the labor market, with the natural result
Of making a higher wage for the work
man within the gates.
But this was a jarring note. and one out
OF date It is noticeable that those who
have had the greatest experiences with i'm
migration are not for exclusion. Since 1920
the country has absorbed more than 2sOOO.-
600 immigrants. and deducting those who
have returned to their own countries Il can
be seen that the ramainder, with their
descendants constitute a large part OF what
we are always boasting of-our great and
rapid Increase in population-in fact, an
important proportion Of our total population
OF SS,50O.O0O today. There seems to be a very
general Impression in the public mind that
these earlier immigrants whose descen-
dants today are among our most solid and
substantial business men. political leaders
and citizens, were OF some superior class.
The opinion has no warrant in fact Under
the earlier immigration laws, the bars were
down, and the immigrants came in to seek
new homes and develop the fertile lands
and rich mineral resources Of the west
Again, II is claimed that now the imml-
grants do not go west or south to help
develop the country, but remain in the
cities. 1t is difficult TO prove or disprove
this assertion, but It can be shown that
the great growth OF the cities is in a large
measure due to the crowding of the country
people TO the city, as is indicated by the
condition of our New England farms. But
as matter Of fact, while the immigration
is very large, the proportion Of immigrants
per capita is much less than It was half
a century ago. II there is a problem here
1t is one of distribution, not OF exclusion.

When the American business man turns

philanthropy than to philosophy and IL en-

Of an uncomfortable surplus Of wealth. but
Is unable thereby to satisfy either his con-

A good many moderately well-to-do men
are stopping TO question the advisabillty OF

and to discover how very much fun and
how very much solid enjoyment may be

The man who knows when to stop is fnd-

thoughtful intercourse with intelligent
people who do not overrate the Importance
OF mere money; he is learning TO think and
to toy with distractions: he Is probably

which take q man outdoors, removes his
mind from deadly seriousness and help him

AS for business, business will be better
of when its benefits are more widely dis
trbuted and Its responsibilities are resting
upon greater number Of healthy, nor
mal-minded and more contented fellows.
Business as a means and not as the sole
end of living will not be a cursed institu-
tion. To live for no other purpose than
just to do business and do as much as
possible is rather sorbid when you come
to think about It, and altogether sense
less. From the human point of view the
man who is willing TO do little less bust

Of life is the more successful.
