Harrisburg. Not only did the graft

In Illinois they lacked courage.
Had they patterned after PennsyI-
vania they would have laughed at a
pure food bill in private, delivered
eloquent addresses on it in public,
and let the presumptuous piece of
legislation die of Iocomotor ataXia

This empty and superhuous for
mula is now abolished for employees
of the Interior Department by Sec
rotary Garfield Hereafter special
agents, examiners, attorneys and
their associates will certify to their
expenses in writing, and the depart
ment win pay them.
\ saving of about $4,000 a year
and many working days of time is
. the reason given for this action.
But a broader and better reason I'M
derlies it. For the jurat never has
been worth the paper it was printed
on. Men who viii lie about their
expense accounts VIII not be de-
TERED by the droning monotony of
a notary's voice as he begins:
Hold up your right hand" If they
have set down lot Of false entries
they viii not be stopped by his
willingness to accept twenty-five
cents for their oath. Degrees of
lying are immaterial to the thief.
And the honest clerk, whose bill
of expenses has been honestly
drawn, is not made the more honest
by a nOtary's seal. Instead, he
either endures the making of oath
to his report as a senseIess formal
ity or resents it as a reflection on
his good falkland either attitude
does the service no good. Surely it
is not the least benefit of Mr.. Gar
fields new ruling that he has elimi-
mated both.
