National Joy Riders.

The government at Washington has
become a law unto itself in the matter
of Joy riding" at public expense.
In a Washington dispatch it was
stated that three ships of the United
States navy had been habitually used
during the past few years for per-
sonaI and social purposes, without the
shadow of law authorizing it, at a
cost to the people of the United States
as follows:
MayfioWer ........S 673,967.72
Dolphin 49,. .......... 645,667.29
SyIph 49,. --...-...-.--. 135, 626.9O
Total ..... 81 Ass, 1871
A bad habit grows. In this case the
bad habit had small beginnings. Mr..
Cleveland went fishing occasionally in
a lighthouse tender. This was a small
matter and cost only few dollars each
time. The practice increased under
Mckinley, who enjoyed a few excur-
sions down the Potomac on the SyIph.
Then Mr.. Roosevelt, boldly converted
the Sylph to his own use and in due
time made the same disposition of the
Mayflower. The Dolphin is used by
the secretary of the navy.
There is no warrant of law for the
use of these vessels by the president
and his secretary of the navy. The ex-
t. aordinary powers of the commander
in-chief do not justify it, for they are
not active in time of peace. If they
were we should have a military despot
instead of a constitutional magistrate
1t is with difficulty that congress in
recent years has been persuaded to
appropriate s25, 900 a year for presi-
Dental travelling expenses. And here
we behold an unauthorized additional
expenditure of almost 100000 a year
for the same purpose,
Instead of being employed in the
public service, these vessels are on
call at summer resorts in summer, and
cruise in subtropical seas in winter.
Favored friends and relatives of high
officials are their guests, and they fur
nish a delightful means of entertain
ment for the fortunate few. Their Off
GERS and crew belong to the United
States navy; and large part of the
of their upkeep and their trips
is due to the personal and social ends
they serve
Nearly 100000 a year could be
saved to the people by the discontinue
ance of this habit of Joy riding" by
those in high places at public cost
without the semblance of authority by
law
Is it any wonder that there is so
little scrupulous- regard for law in fed |
eral official circles with these exam |
pies of unauthorized joy riding at pub
lie expense?

HurnOr and

THE good times coming have arrived
Il IL we will only look.

To make the best of them as they
Are quickly passing by.
We used to think OF them an years.
OF drowsy. dreamy ease
OF floating IN a silver boat
As lazy as you please.
But now as years are more mature
We see a better way
And know real happiness is found
BY mixing work with play.
They do not come to cheer our lives
With things ike golden fruit
And fairy fancies that would ne;
The taste of manhood suit.
But in the gentle comradeship
With persons OF our kind
In working at some useful task,
Then rest and peac6 of mind.
The golden age II here. and we
May be of IL a part:
May have IL in our daily lives
And live II IN our heart
We cannot wait, for time will leave
Its traces on our brow,
But we by friendships gentle aid
May live the good time now.

Gross Abuse of
The Franking Privilege.

Considerable comment 10 going the
rounds Of tho press about the gross
abuse Of the frankins privilege in
dulged In by members Of congress-.
IL b true that this abuse IL confined
to NO particular political party and
leading members Of both parties are
guilty Of this system OF petty graft.
And in many instances the raft IL
not % petty.
1t has been said that Postmaster
General Hitchcock hopes to check the
graft to an extent ct least by the use
of special franking stamps. 1t is to
Be hoped that this will have the de-
sired eject and 1t will b a stem in
the right direction.
II IL difncuit for layman to realize
tho snormity Of the abuse. Recent
seetSetacs show that during the last
nscel year the postage value Of the
free congressional mail was over a
hAh million dollars and that the free
department mail sent under the avs

ovse 0ve millions Of doilsrs. In any
