Insurgents Defeated.

Quite a number of so called in
surgent Congressman, forty
three of them, stood up and took
their medicine Wednesday with
out a murmur. It was a bitter
dose as previously they had been
considered worth noting, but
"Uncle Joe" and President
Roosevelt acted as the doctors
and forced it down. It is to be
hoped that castor oil would be
sweet compared with it but If
the dose is only as effective as
castor oil sometimes is, then we
can expect a cleansing of those
forty three which ought to last
the rest of this season at least.
The insurgents held out on
the grounds that they were en-
titled to opinions and did not pro-
pose to be whipped into line by
the party organization. care
we to be shackled forever by the
machine?" they asked. Such a
question is on a par with that of
a boy who questioned his father S
right to whip him. We have two
parties and as either one is in
control it is called the machine.
The majority sometimes finds it
necessary to whip few obstre-
porous children just as a parent
does. These children were elect
ed because Of their party afilia-
ton and like many precocious
youngsters got gay because they
thought they could run things.
hence the necessary whipping

cessful, there would have been
some chance of defeating the
rate bill which comes up later.
Now their opportunity to make
capital against the President has
passed away for this session.
The only big bill remaining in
the House is the rate bill which
will undoub tedly be passed by a
majority. Thus Roosevelt will
win another great victory for
what he believes is right.

Money Will be Saved.

taxing work on the part OF the
Keep commission, there is a
bright prospect for large saw
ing in public printing. Acting
upon suggestions made by this
commission, President Roosevelt
has issued an order consisting of
general principles" which shall
be followed hereafter in the com
pilation of department. and other
reports. Ali reports shall lie as
concise as possible; scientific
treatises shall be excluded; only
such illustrations, maps and
diagrams as are essential to full
understanding of the text shall
be used; all biographical and
eulogistic matter shall be ex-
cluded reports of inferior officers
shall be summarized; tables shall
be used only when absolutely
necessary, and detailed descrip-
tions of methods, processes, pur-
chases, bids, contracts, repairs,
specifications, court decisions,
etc, shall be sum married., except
when they are of extraordinary
Importance. Duplication Of the
same subject in several reports
is prohibited.
The public cannot understand
the wisdom of this order as it is un-
derstood in all newspaper offices
and libraries, where hundreds of
pounds Of printed matter are re-
ceived from Washington each
year. There is an enormous
waste, not only in the printing Of
entirely worthless documents
and articles but in the duplica-
ton Of mailing lists. If Presi-
dent Roosevelt's instructions are
carefully followed, we will have
reports which contain all that is
necessary for the information of
the public and in satisfactory
form.
Two other changes recon
mended by the Keep commission
are worthy of comment. A gen
eral committee, consisting of the
Librarian of Congress, the Pub
lie Printer. representative of
the department. doing the largest
amount of printing and two
printers not in. the public ser
vice having large experience in
making good books, is to be ap-
pointed to promotessth economy,
utility, appropriateness, beauty,
durability and so far as prac-
ticable, the uniformity of Gov
eminent publications. This
committee will not deal with the
contents of the reports, but with
form, size, style, paper, type,
makeup and binding. This is a
reform which should have been
adopted long ago. as all persons
who are familiar with Govern
ment publications will agree. It
should be. as easy for the Gov
eminent to make a good book as
"a poor one, and at practically the
same cost.
The other important recon
mendation relates to the admins
tration ofsthe Government Print
ing Office, particularly to the
keeping Of efficiency records Of
the work of employees and of
records of the cost Of production.
The managers of every success
full business esta blishment know
the cost of production and the
same rule should hold in this
branch of the Government work.
It is unnecessary to say that the
efficiency of employees is
watched in private concerns as
closely as is the cost Of produc-
ton. In fact, the one depends
largely upon the other. Is there
any reason why Government en-
ployees should hold their jobs if
they are incompetent?

WAR ON DEMOCRATS.


St. Petersburg, Oct, 10.-Another
battery was turned today on the posi-
tion Of the constitutional democrats
in the open warfare which premier
Stolypin Is waging on the majority
in the last parliament 49,.
In an open letter to the provincial
governors in relation to the famine
relief. he directs them to remove from
the zemstvos all persons endeavoring
to conduct electioneering against the
administration under cover of relief
work and not to hesitate to close the
zemstvos when necessary.
This Is in accordance to the steps
taken against the signers Of the vi
borg manifesto, whom the governors
are directed to remove from the pro-
vincial nobility, zemstvo organizations
and city councils. The radical attiture
of the constitutional dem >crats at the
Helsingfors convention is dictated
largely by these and other hostile
measures, including the Holy Synod's
Instructions to the clergy to preach
against the enemies of society, and a
circular forbidding government en-
ployes to belong to constitutional
democratic or the opposition parties
and ordering the dismissal of presist-
ing members.
