BREAKS BY CONGRESS-
Peculiar Mistakes Due to Tremen-
dous Amount of Work Transacted
.luSf Reinre Adinucnnenf.

In the hurry and hustle of "get
away" day in Congress, a few errors
slipped in to upset the calculations of
party leaders. One Of these was the
signing of the agricultural nppropri-
alton bill by the President before that
measure contained the signature of the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. OF course this oversight was
corrected, but the question then arose
as to the Importance of having the bill
signed by the Speaker and the Vice
President. Their signatures merely
certify that the bill has passed their
respective houses. the important fact
being that they have been passed by
the House and Senate For this rea-
son it is not regarded as being abso-
lutely Indispensable that bill should
be signed by the presiding officer of
the House. All that Is necessary is to
establish the fact that it has been so
passed.
Another "break" was the presiden-
tial approval of the sundry civil bill
containing an item appropriating
81, 100000 for site for a new de-
partmental building in Washington.
This item had been dropped out of the
bill in conference but the enrolment
clerks failed to notice the omission
and so included this item In the copy
of the bill laid before the President for
his signature. When the error was
discovered, resolution was adopted
by both houses of Congress repeating
the feature of the bill making the
81. 100000 appropriation.
1t Is not strange that these mis-
takes occur. as all of the employees of
both the Senate and House during the
last few days Of Congress have an
enormous amount of work showed upon
them, so that when Congress actually
adjourns many of them are ready to
take to their beds for several days IN
order to recuperate.

POLITICAL PURITY.

mo man who is financially con.
nected with a corporation that IS
liking privileges ought to act as a
member of political organization,
because he can not represent his cor
poration and the people at the same
time. He can not serve the party
while he is seeking to promote the
financial interests of the corporation
with which he is connected"
The above appeared in big black
type across the entire front page Of
The Commoner. In it is the whole
truth about the germ Of almost all the
political corruption OF the day. 1t
may be that grafters and grating are
no more common today than at any
other period in American history.
The struggling colOnists had grating
in one form after another to contend
with; the revolutiOnistS met the
CRATER on every hand, and on down
through every period of our history
the GARTER has been getting in his
work. The American people have al
ways contenied that ten or more pol
itical parties would keep the politica,
atmosphere pure. Where the parties
have kept close together in numeri
cal strength, this has proven fairly
isfactory. All over the South thc
one-sidedness OF things has allowed
rings and cliQues to rule in the party
name, just as the same practice has
prevailed in many other districts ii
the United States when any one par
ty held practically undisputed swa!
