EXPENSIVE JUNKETING

Down to the period of General
Grants second term the president of
the United States received a yearly
salary of $25OOO Now congress is in
the act of giving the president a
permanent yearly allowance of a like
amount for travelling expenses" A
bill making such provision has passed
the house and is reasonab bly, sure to
pass the senate. The proposition was
sprung in the house several weeks ago
as an addendum to the sundry civil
appropriation bill, the figure for presi-
Dental junketing then being fixed at
$32, 900 for the coming year. Then the
idea occurred to the Republican lead
ers that a permanent travelling allow
ance should be provided. and the
annual figure was fixed at $25,0OO
The American people are not inclined
to be niggardly in allowances to public
servants, particularly to the one occu-
pying the highest station. But why
should the burden of taxation be in
creased to the extent of $25,000 a year
to pay the cost of presidential outings
that usually have an ulterior political
purpose? The sum in question is
equivalent to $6S4s for every day in
the year, about the cost of limited train
transportation from Los Angeles to
Chicago.
1t is not the particular addition of
s25.OOO a year to the public expense ac-
count, however, that inspires criticism
now. The lavish waste of public money
by the present administration, of which
the junketing appropriation is an index
is matter of most serious concern to
the people. In itself the sum of $4,000
a year is trivial, in the nations yearly
account, but as an example of official
extravaganza it is a matter for grave
consideration.
The annual expenses of the govern
ment now are more than two hundred
million dollars greater than they were
ten years ago. The total appropria-
tion by the present congress, for its
two terms, is likely to reach the stu
pendous figure of twelve hundred mill

BoNI is TO TRY VAUDEVILLE
Paris Would Not Be Surprised at
Such Step-Hard Times In
Siqht for Castellane

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, June 23.-Poor Count Boni de
Castellane is having a real miserable
time of it this summer, now that he has
at last become convinced that his Amer
lean wife will have nothing to do with
him. 1t is not so much that his cred
itors, of whom he has an untold num-
ber, are annoying him, for they are all
aware that it would not be worth while,
but he is sadly in the need of cash for
things which he considers absolutely
necessary to his well being, and he has
even been condescending to write ar
ticles for newspapers.
His father, the old Marquis de Castel-
lane, has for years been in the habit Of
dabbling in journalism, and though he
would probably never amount to very
much or rise very rapidly, he was on
the staff of a paper, and his paragraphs
are at least readable and sometimes full
of fine sarcasm. Boni, however, has
absolutely no journalistic gift, and
when the novelty of his divorce affair
wears off and he drops out of politics,
as he must now do, as he can no longer
command millions, he will very soon
find 1t hard to dispose of his pot boilers.
With no gifts of any kind beyond that
of squandering money, it would sur
prise no one should he in time accept
the offer of some manager to appear in
vaudeville in America.

AS TO THE PEEKABOO

Just why there should be spreading
over the country here at the beginning
of the hot season, general attack on
the so-called "peekaboo" shirt waist,
does not quite appear. The 'peekaboo'
Is not novelty. 1t has been a favorite
garb of the sex feminine for 10, these
many years. They have worn it in sea-
son and out; they have built it more
open and less open they have con-
structed it of silk, linen, lawn, satin
and chambray, and they have found it
an unmitigated delight. Why, then,
this crusade?
Is not the peekaboo, per Sc, an at
tractive thing? Certainly it is cool
and comfortable garment for a swelter-
ing day. Through its filmy meshes the
breezes filter, and in and out of its
large variety of holes the gentle
zephyrs play tag, cooling with their
breath the solid flesh beneath. 1t GER
tainly is a source of satisfa ction to its
wearer, for it is pretty, withal; it is
dainty. fascinating and costly in in
verse proportion to the extent of its
peekaboo-ness 1t puts money in the
purse of the purveyor, and the more
filmy and open-worky it is, the more
she pays for it and the greater the
possibility its retention is highly de-
sirable.
Certainly, to mere man. the peekaboo
Is a joy forever. 1t adds zest to life,
with it's tantalizing glimpses of gleam-
ing shoulders, its hints of alabaster
arms. 1t fascinates with it's sugges-
ton of hidden mysteries, with its peeps
of dainty lingerie and it's glances of
ribbon below. The man who will not
turn his head to peer through the net
work that reveals more than it con-
ceals is an anchorite and would make
st. Anthony seem but a leering roue!
Hence, why anathematize the peek
aboo? If it please my lady, who wear
enormous profit, and the general run Of
mankind, who rubbereth at its all-re-
Willingness in huge joy, who else hath
kick coming?
All, but, 'tis said, clergyman says
the peekaboo is wicked. and likens it
to a bathing suit. We beg to remind
the reverend gentleman that being a
Romish priest he is not supposed to
look upon women through their peeka-
boos, anyhow, and did he not look,
neither would he see And, besides the
point is not we'll taken, for any well
versed man can tell him that the peek
aboo's revelations are as far from those
of the bathing suit as the neck is from
the heels. So there!
And still Furthermore, any one who
doesn't like the peekaboo is not COM
pelled to look through it. Let him turn
his head the other way, and he'll see
naught to shock his sensitive soul, at
all, at all. Or he may wear binders
and goggles. and then he will be per-
fectly secure.
