Mr. Stillings with violations of the g.
hour law in the gov ,rnment printing

'It is difficult, at this time, to get
witnesses against MIR. Sti,lings, for the
reason that many of them are employed
in the government printing office and
directly under his charge. We hope,
however, to follow up our oral state
ment with affidavits if necessary"

of the action he had already taken in
the case.

Washington dispatches record
another violation Of social Gus
tom" by President Roosevelt.
On Wednesday evening he &C.
tually attended a reception at the
home Of the vice president. This
IS the second time the president
has ignored the "unwritten law"
and il seems to be considered
dreadful in the national capital
for the chief magistrate to do
such a reckless and unconyen-.
tional thing.
Perhaps it is revolutionary
from the standpoint Of social
precedent, but we do not think
the presidents call on the vice
president and Mrs. Fairbanks
is reprehensible. Mr.. Roosevelt
ought to be allowed as much free
dom in social matters as he de-
sires. The fact that none Of his
Predecessors attended receptions
in private houses ought not to
operate as a bar to his enjoy
ment of the vice presidents hos
pitality.
No administration binds an
other to it's military, financial or
fiscal policies. Why should there
be tyrannical precedents in social
matters? The Emporersof Ger
many accepts the hospitality OF a
subject. The King Of Great
Britain dimes with lords and COM
moners in their own homes.
Why should President Roosevelt
draw the line on Vice President
Fairbanks?-Ex.
