before the arrest. which attracted the
officers attention to him.
on the way To the station Novak was
curious to know If he could BY any pos

carrying the gun. He seemed disap-
pointed when told that he would not.
and when pressed for the cause said he
would be glad To serve time If he could

formerly lived at 1923 South Sacramento

his mother in that neighborhood. The
police have no recollection Of a murder
such as he describes at that place.

fumigated several rooms in the Tyler
school building, located on Eleventh, be-

among the teachers, that danger OF in

be disregarded.

the point of letting his Office large
ly run itself. The clerks and ex-
aminers smoke, gossip and read
instead of attending to their work
and the public has to stand still

Senator Hale this week went
after the Government Clerks with
considerable violence. He de.

mendicants on the bounty of the
Government and not satisfied with
the good things they had were and
like Oliver Twist, always asking
for more. He particularly object

next campaign. But it was de-
cidedly an injustice to the most of
the clerks. The annual leave and
sick leave provisions are abused

THRIFT AND GRAFT.

very different thing.
Thr advice OF the late Edgar Thorn
son, which has recently been recalled,
we understand TO DE a commendation
OF thrift. The employees Of railr. ad
were urged To invest in business con-
Germs along the line of their road.
Those would be the ones that they
would be likely 10 know something
about and could invest in with pru-
dence. 1t is true that the railroad M
panY might be their customer in a
sense, aud it was conceivable that a
mans self interest might sometimes
conflict with his duty tn the railroad
company that employed him. But the
danger of this was not great, and Mr..
Thomson urged his subOrdinates osave
their money and invest in enterprises
whose development they could watch
and which would supply freights to the
railroad company
Ii was investment: it was thrift that
he urged. 1t would take very strong
evidence to prove that he advised graft:
that be told his subordinates to take all
the stock they could get for nothing
in corporations along the line of the
road and reciprocate with railroad
privileges. 1t should be remembered
that the pending Investigation did not
grow out of charges against the personal
integrity of railroad men, but out of
charges by certain shippers that they
could not get the facilities that other
shippers enjoyed. When these charges
were investigated the fact was discov-
cred that the shippers who got the
favors were the ones who made presents
to the railroad officials. That is graft,
and the recipients know il as well as
any one else But they were not think
ing about the criminal law, and they
felt at liberty to do anything to which
ERIN in the penitentiary was not the
Y attached.
