BEN. TILLMAN's STEAL

The naval appropriations as a
source OF graft are so well known in
character and held in such personal
regard by politicians that It is not
surprising for newspaper readers to
hear thai the senators or congress-
men are not only aware OF the steal
but are openly demanding their share
Of It.
The Bulletin does not hold Senator
Tiilman in high esteem. but occasion
ally he delivers himself ir a wav
somewhat to his credit II to the ma
lions alarm. While the naval budget
was under consideration recently, he
Is reported to have said:
This bill is loaded down with ex-
pansion In every navy yard. I am 60
Ing to try to get a little for Port
Royal. because If you are going to
steal want my share"
Congressman Lilley was charged
with insulting his colleagues when he
ala not say anything approaching this
against HIS associates. What the gov
eminent needs to do is to return to
the old-fashioned method Of doing the
business Of the government upon
strictly business principles.

currence Of baking antagonisns.
This is policy which must com
mend itself to the people, for the

ocation Of orders from the bureau

partment by a decision Of a board Of

been practically settled TO the salts
faction OF consumers before the
board was called into being.
This Is a most consistent PROPOSE
