Laughing Loafers While

Pittsburg, Nov. 25.-A crowd in
criminal court yesterday laughed at
the mental torture OF Rachel Weiner,

lttical machine, who is arrayed against
his son-a clean-minded young fell
low who sets his face against bribe-
givers and bribe-takers, and gets into
the thick Of political fight with

grafters. The story is published COM

In which the youngster finds himself:
once again in the history of the
race IT had become the duty of a son
to betray a father. Blount saw his

Mileage for congressman.

Representative Cox thinks that il is
wrong for Senators and Representa-
tiVes to be drawing mileage from the
Government at the present rate-2O
cents a mile. He has introduced two
bills. the effect of which would be TO
substitute five-cent rate for that now
prevailing. Even this sum would. as
Mr.. Cox shows, more than pay the
cost OF the trips to and from Wash
ington. The grant of mileage was
never intended as a supplement to
salaries. On the contrary, it was
meant simply to cover travelling ex-
penses, which is about all il did in
the early days. Now, when men can
travel for two cents a mile. il is alb
surd and wrong to pay them twenty
cents In a letter to Mr.. Kennedy.
