AMONG the current items Of the

AMONG the current items of the
week note the following:
Representative Bennett Of New
York has written a letter to the
secretary Of war charging graft in
the purchasing department Of the
isthmian canal commission. He
says he knows OF one instance
where the contract for cement was
given to a firm whose price was
more than 100000 above that of
the lowest bidder. He demands
an investigation. The Commoncr.
Look out, Mr.. Bennett! Is not
this "slandering the government"
Better let the Panama Canal alone,
or you'll have Teddy the Tre-
mendous frothing at the mouth
and doing stunts.
BRETHREN, how many Of you
feel possessed Of the sovereign's
freedom to express his views con-
corning public men and matters?
Do you not feel the censorial
moose tightening? In some
cases you may be immune through
favoritism, or because you are
willing to lick-spittle, or have the
happy faculty Of seeing only virtue
in all that your way-up public
servants C) do; but If q halt in
the quickstep ofsoficial despotism
is not speedily called, your time
will come. Humble subserviency
will some time gag you and who
shall pity your retchings?

Didn't Know His Capacity.

"The late Ira D. Sankey," said
veteran Pittsburg editor, once dined
with me in Philadelphia. During the
dinner he looked about the restaurant
where every table was covered with
glasses Of white or red wine, and he
said.
There is man drinking whole
bottle, full quart of champagne. IL
is amazing what capacity for liquor
some men possess. And the man with
large capacity Is actually proud Of
it. Could anything be more foolish,
more sinful?"
Then with chuckle, Mr.. Sankey
told me about beggar he had once
helped.
"The beggar had red nose, and
Mr.. Sankey gave him 20 cents, saying
at the same time:
mind you, now don't get drunk
on this
"The beggar laughed.
"'Drunk on 20 cents Why, boss.
The said proudly, t I'D take the best
part of a dollar to get nue. drunk. -" -
