account for some of the unplea SAINT re-

THE NEW POLITICAL ERA.

University bred men have for some
time found openings in the government
service where special scientific training
fitted them for positions under the civil
service. No doubt this has something
to do with the drift toward the So

stiles. Should President Roosevelt and
his successors succeed finally In putting
the foreign service entirely under the
merit system, at least insofar as II ap-

Twentieth Year.
COST OF CONGRESSMEN

What does a congressman cost? I'm
til this year a congressman cost $4,000
a year with bit thrown in for mile
age and few small perquisites which
the congressman say amounts to only
IL trine. Beginning with the new con-
gress $500 is to be added in extra
salary and the cost of living no doubt
iustifies the increase. Some facts
CLEANED from the reports Of the treas
ury department reveal some other
charges which upon investigation must
be placed TO the account of the con-
gressmen however. The government
has 15S custom houses, which last year
collected all told s305, 100000 at a cost
for collection Of about s9.000,000. For
ttnately for our enlightment, the de-
partment has figured out the per cent
of receipts at each Of these 15S custom
houses which the operation Of that
particular port Of entry entailed. Thus
the New York custom house cost one
and eight tenths cents for every dollar
taken in. Springfield, Mass. made the
best record. which was one and four
tenths cents for running the custom
house for every dollar Of customs re-
nearly so we'll. At Tuckerton, New
Jersey, the revenue receipts for the last
year amounted to forty cents. The ex-
pense of the office was $505.31. At
office were $40, whereas the two en-
ployes drew something more than $400
AT the Annapolis custom house it cost
$246.64 to collect $3.50, decidedly los
ing game Other places where it cost
more than a dollar to collect dollar

PROSECUTE.

The purity Of the primary Is cow as
necessary to good government as the
purity of the ballot box at O regular
election. The people of Lincoln have
reason To believe that gross frauds
were perpetrated at the primary on
Tuesday last. OF the scores of men
who appeared at the clerks Office to
take oath that they we're republicans
and had not registered last October
for various reasons, more than one
half seemed to have no idea of the
seriousness of their act or the fact
that a jail sentence could be made to
descend upon them IL they were
swearing to a falsehood
Even more reprehensible was the
conduct Of certain free holders" More
than once these men were seen to Sign
their names to the certificates o2 men
they did not know and swear to facts
that were admittedly outside of their
range Of knowledge 1t was not un-
common for one OF these professional
free holders to ask one Of his fellow
workers concerning an applicant rs
he all right?" Upon being assured In
the affirmative the free holder would
sign his name to the following:

one year Immediately preceding March

which this affidavit Is attached, to be
an innabtant and qualified voter OF
said precinct, and that he has affiliated
with said political party. and that the
facts given in the excuse for not reg
isterng are true.
After afIixing the signature the free
holder would then lift his hand and
swear that he had told the truth and
the whole truth, so help me God" II
was evident on the face of things that
in large percentage of the eases the
men taking this oath knew nothing di-
rectly about the men they were vouch-
ing for. yet the farce went on hour
after hour to the end that the Saloon

ward more than twice as many votes
as were cast by the republicans of that
