cultivation of sugar beets as member

ute as many copies OF a report on the
Vermont marble industry. as are given
10 the man from the Green Mountain
State; and the Congressman from Da-
kota gets as many copies of book on
how TO raise oranges as does one from
Florida.
The result is that no member can get
rid of anything like tho entire quota
of documents printed for him Docu-
ments that are in real demand in limit

cause the men who want them can't in
good grace ask that new editions be
printed while tons of the original edi-
ton lie in warehouses. assigned to peo-
pie who don't want them. Yet, there is

of these there are now on hand. S,795
sets Printing for the last fiscal year
cost over 100000. The committee
would have printing appropriations made
collectively, so far as possible. and
would require better system of ac-
counting at the printing Office.

Startling But True.

People the world over we're Mortified
on learning OF the burning Of Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred peo-
pie lost their lives, yet more than five
times this number or over 5000 people
died from pneumonia in Chicago during
the same year, with scarcely a passing
notice. Every one OF these cases of
pneumonia resulted from cold and
could have been prevented by the timely
use OF Chamberlain's Cough remedy. A
great many who had every reason to fear
pneumonia have warded it off by the
prompt use OF this remedy. The follow
ing is an instance Of this sort: "To much

heroism are recognized and applauded by
human kind-how Travis fell across the
cannon: how Crockett dropped in the
courtyard in the center OF circle ol
fallen foes how Bowie fought to the end
on bed from which he was unable to

mony OF the MeNicans made any attempt

were overwhelmed and disarmed were cut
down in cold blood.
No Texan survived that fight To tell tho
story of how his companions met death:
it could bc told only by the victors whose
shame it was not by the vanquished
whose glory il was. and its truth there
fore cannot be assailed Justly does the
battle of the Alamo rank above that OF

'Thermopylae had its messenger OF de-

President Roosevelts muck rake"
speech at Washington on Saturday was
characteristically strong and direct. II It
was less epigrammatic than was anticipat-
ed IL did not fail TO hit the mark at which
II was aimed fairly and squarely. Par
ticularly effective was the declaration
There Is filth on the floor. and It must
be scraped up with the muck-rake: and
there are times and places where this SER
vice is the most needed OF all the ser
vices that can be performed. But the
man who never does anything else, who
never thinks or speaks or writes. save OF
his feats with the muck-rake, speedily be-
comes. not a help to society. not an in
citement 20 good. but one OF the most po-
tent forces for evil"
Herein is condensed the law and gospel
Of that decency which should
characterize all discussions OF
official honor and honesty 1t
neither palliates "whitewashing" nor
excuses filth, but points out in straight
forward manner the middle ground OF
criticism that can compel reform WITHOUT
blackening entirely the good name Of
the nation.
