A ENCOURAGEMENT is made at the
"A post office department that under
instructions from Postmaster General
Hitchcock the inspectors must get
the crooks" Whereupon every sleuth
has put his nose to the ground and
sought an opening to land those who
are trying to "get something for
nothing" from the people. But 1t is
also said that they are going after
every individual or concern whose
business smacks of fraud regardless
of it's size or the influence which may
be behind it,"

prosecution of frauds and crooks On
the contrary, there is strong desire
that all such persons should be ap-
pretended and punished, but there
have been examples of great injustice
and wrong on the part of too eager
post Office inspectors who wanted to
make record and devoted much time
to working up cases. There are also
many people who, for revenge, or
other cause, seek out post office in
spectors and try to secure fraud or
ders against persons they dislike or
whose business rivalry they fear.
If fraud orders could be reviewed
in the courts 1t would not matter so
much whether legitimate concerns
were attacked by over-zealous men
who are told "get the crooks" and
went out to make records. But there
are many little frauds who advertise
business and have a little room with
deal table and one chair; reap a
small harvest and make a quick get

men who are trying to prevent the

reputation they must pull down big

Mr.. TAFT AND WATERWAYS
Presidents Speech an Appeal to Pa
trloti3m on Subject Of Ma
tlonal Interest.

The presidents waterways speech
is an appeal to patriotism on that
subject. 1t is not an enunciation of
new nationalism, for no nationalism
has ever existed as respects our
river and harbor problem. Mr.. Taft
wants nationalism established, and
all future improvements based on it.
There can be no question of the
presidents facts, nor any quarrel with
the soundness of his argument. We
all know the evils of the system OF
appropriations hitherto made. Hun
dreds of millions have been wasted
by 1t, and only meager returns Sc
cured from the money with reason
justifying it's investment. We have
gone upon the proposition that Uncle
Sam is rich enough to give us all not
only farm. but navigable river. and
we have drawn upon him for the wa
ter We have struck his wallet with
our rod, and obtained enormous sums
for very small volume of fluid.
The president would change this.
He would not stint meritorious pro-
jects. On the contrary, he would pro-
vide the more money for them by cut
ting off appropriations for small pro-
jects which have their root in per
sonal schemes and congressional
pull"
1t is easier asked than granted.
The pork barrel rests on human ma
ture and congressional temptation.
You tickle me and I'll tickle you runs
through much of the business OF
men, both public and private. And
the pork barrel the president dis
cusses is not the only one that exists.
Uncle Sam is supposed to be rich
enough to give us all public build
ing, and Is made to run up" houses
in some queer places.
Still firmly based as the system is,
and difficult of overturning, it should
be overturned. The presidents ap-
should be provided for conserving
treasury funds as respects drafts
upon them not dictated by undoubted
public necessities. Senators and rep.
resentatives seeking reelection, ami
to make themselves the more solid"
at home. should not be permitted
longer to vote themselves campaign
contributions from the national purse.
Public sentiment alone can effect
the desired result, and this should
form on the presidents views. The
next congress will be called upon to
deal with the matter, and it Is not too
soon to begin discussion. Who are
on the presidents side on a question
distinctly non-political?

VII ASHINGTON.-Dr. William K
W Rucker of the public health and
marine hospital service, recently left
Ellis island for Boston to confer with
Commissioner of immigration George
B. Billings, the port medical staff and
officials Of the state board of health
regarding the new and comprehensive
plan for guarding the United States
against possible danger from cholera
suspects coming from Russia and
Italy. This plan contemplates a sur
veillance of immigrants from the in
fected districts to their final destina-
tion in the United States, even though
it be in remote settlement of the
west Surgeon General Walter Wy
man and his officers have worked
days and nights perfecting the de-
tails and now believe that with the
cooperation of state and municipal
health authorities which they request,
a cholera epidemic in the United
States would be practically impos-
sible
The new system, which is supple
mentary to the rigorous medical ex-
aminations now made provides for a
registry of immigrants from Russia
and Italy by the immigrant inspectors
at each port on the Atlantic coast
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1910-12-01

The bureau has prepared blank for
the use of the inspectors whereby
simple system of checking and the
writing in of the name of the i'm
migrant and the town, street and num-
ber to which he is going will make
complete record of his origin and
destination.
At the close of the day these "des-
tination cards" will be collected by
the chief medical officer and imme-
diately mailed to state boards OF
health.
The state health official in return
will be requested to mail the cards to
the local boards of health. The the
ory Is that should a case of cholera
break out the local officials would i'm
mediately be able to identify it and
take prompt measures, should the rec
ords show that the place harbored
persons coming from a cholera in
tested district.
The treasury department and the
department of commerce and labor
have formally approved Doctor wy
mans plan, hence 1t goes into opera
ton with all the force oe the govern
ment behind it as far as United
States officials are concerned
1t should be said that the bureau
has no fear of cholera epidemic in
this country. The medical examine
tions of immigrants are very thor
ough and in devising this additional
system Doctor Wyman merely covers
a factor in the situation namely, the
chance cholera bacillus carriers to
whom no systematic attention has
been given before.

There is no campaign against the
Payne tariff law, despite the hasty
predictions of last lpring. The bill

There is some agitation against It,
as there is against every tariff law.
The arguments used against it. how
ever. differ with every individual.
They are controlled by local condi-
tons There is no steady, constant
There will be none.
This situation is remarkable, be-
cause this law has been more criti-
ciZed probably than any other. This
is an age of ready criticism. Former
periods did not have literary" maya
zines and Babies Home Journals in
the argument. Yet the attacks on
the bill are made each man for him
self, just as the different sections of
the country wanted different articles
