A BIT o NOTHIN

Where is mother2' Probably
that question is asked more often
than any other in the English
language. The instant boy or
girl enters the house aud mother
is net there, the first question is:
Where is notfer?" They may
know she is not far distant, yet
there is a keen satisfaction IN
knowing. exactly where to tind
her. The father comes. into the
house; he. toe. looks and asks:
'sWhere is mother" Ifshe hap
pens to come IN the ro2m at the
moment he is not surprised nor
does he even want her, he merely
wanted to know where she was.
1t is no laughing matter when
mother leaves home and remains
two weeks on q, visit. She al
ways sits at the head of the
table, and when she is VISITING,
nothing tastes half as good as
when she helps cook ii. If she
happens to. be i'll, the vacant
place at the table looks as large
as ten acre field. to. the family,
Every day, every hour,. every
minute some urchjin Ia, asking
sWhere is mother?" She, may
come in and smack him for some
mischief, nevertheless she is the
most valuable ARTICLE in the
world. Happy. indeed. are the
boys and: girls who ask that
knowing she is somewhere near

PEOPLE EASILY ROBBED
BATCH OF GOOD STORIES RE,
LATED BY coNGREssMEN.

Washington, April 16.-"Speaking of
taking candy from a child, why it is
just as easy TO take money from the
innocent folks in some small country
towns. said Representative Frank
Clark of Florida TO a party of friends
discussing the law governing national
and state banks.
There IS no opportunity for making
money like opening a bank" he eontin-
ued. THE law makes it inviting to the
sehemers to do so. Just as an illustra-
ton. 1 recall an incident that happened
in a county in Florida not many
months ago. Two very smooth New
Workers came down our way, and with
capital of 81 500 opened a bank. They
were hustlers and soon were doing a
good business. They were smooth, all
right, for when a depositor presented
a check for money the bank charged a
discount of l per cent for cashing it.
The depositOF never questioned the
charge. thinking it was legitimate. One
day, however, a fellow from Missouri,
who had received a check on the bank
for $3.50, presented it for payment. The
paying teller took out the discount, but
the holder of the check asked what
he meant. We discount our checks.
said the paying teller. Well, you don't
discount this check The check was
returned and the holder of it went
back to the depositor and complained.
The result was that the news soon
spread all over town. The bank closed
the next day."
Postoffice Censor.
while we don't boast of a press
censor-and the people, 1 am sure,
would not stand for such an undemo-
cratic institution-yet our postoffice de-
partment, in a measure, exercises all
the powers of a censor" said Congress-
man Victor Murdoch, himself an editor,
commenting on the power of the post
office department. You know" he
continued, lit was through the postof-
fee that we broke up the Louisiana
lottery, and after the passage of the
anti-lottery law the department really
became the guardian OF the people in
more ways than one. At least the Of
ficials of that department felt
that ii is their duty to protect the in
nOcent from the schemers who use the
advertising columns of certain news
papers and magazines to separate
country and city folks from their coin
by promises of small fortunes for a
more song. We have now before the
committee on postofflces and post roads
bill to codify the postal laws so as to
protect the newspapers and advertisers
whose mail may not shut off without
due process of law.
"A fraud order may be issued against
an innocent person and muck harm
done, but under the existing law there

Boston Mans Scheme.

Boston Mans Scheme.
II recall an advertisement which ap-
peared in a number of newspapers a
few years ago to which the department
took exception. A man in Boston, l
believe, advertised scenes from higher
life; rare and rich; most interesting
book ever published. Sent securely
sealed on receipt of 81. The advertiser
did big business. 1t aroused the sus-
plcions of the over watchful postoffice
inspectors. They bought a book and
found ii to be a cheap Bible. The adj
vertiser was notified that IL he did not
change his 'ad' in the papers a fraud
order would be issued against him. He
pleaded that the Bible was not mis-
represented, as it was a rich and rare
book and purported to give scenes from
the higher life.
Now that fellow did some good; he
sold Bibles to persons that perhaps
otherwise would never have seen one.
OF course, the department does good
in trying to keep the mails from from
frauds who prey upon the creduIous,
but in the hunt for frauds it often hap
pens that the innocent are made to
suffer, and they have no redress. It is
this knowledge that makes it impera-
tive that we should pass the bill to
cOdify the postal laws"
Motion to Expunge.
Among the measures pending before
the committee on rules of the House is
one known as the Bennett resolution
to expunge from the permanent Con-
gressional Record of the last Con-
gress the resolution of censuFe reported
by the special committee appointed by
the House to pass upon that part of
President RoOseVelt's message in which
he handled without gloves the members
who criticised the secret service and
the use to which it was put by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Congressman Bennett
is an ardent admirer of the former
strenuous President, and conspicuOusly
defended him at the time the House
ordered the offensive portion of the
message expunged from the record.
And now he has renewed the fight to
eXpunge the sharp things said against
the former President.
The committee on rules has not yet
found time to take up the resolution,
and the indications are that, so far as
