Watertown Gets in
on Civic League Move

Civic leagues, purposely for the bet
terment of the morals of the society
of any community, are of common re-
port in the eastern cities, and at last
Watertown has come into the fold. At
a recent meeting in the Congregational
church about $50 church representa-
,tives OF different denominations were
present and league was formed for
the city Of Watertown. A committee of
three was appointed to make the pre-
liminary arrangements for calling a
mass meeting, the time to be consider
ed at an early date.
No particular church has monopoly
in the movement, but general invita-
ton is extended to all citizens who
desire to take part in the betterment
of the morals of the city.

The Unterrifid Propose Thorough
Investigation Of Six Exc sutive
Departments.
NO SERIOUS SERIOUS DISCOVERIES, R H S
Nothing Of Real Import is Ex-
pected to Result From the.
Investigation.

Washington, March 24.-According
to plans that are now being made
by the democratic leaders of the next
house of representatives, the sixty-sec-
ond congress is to be congress OF
Investigations
1t isn't likely that much Of real inn
port will be discovered. The demo-
Gratis raised the same cry in 1SS4,after
they had elected Mr. Cleveland to be
president and had carried the house,
and there was series of investiga-
ton at that time which proved nothing
except that the affairs of the govern
ment had been administered by the re.
publicans in satisfactory manner.
Even the subjects of those inyestiga-
tions is now forgotten by the average
man.
1t usually requires vigorous beat
ing of the tom-toms to awaken the
proper interest in presidential politics.
The democrats w4-- beat them, begin
ming with the special session next
month, and will, course, emphasize
every discovery they make. It is al
ways the way in politics.
AS tentatively agreed upon, there
will be investigations by the house i'll
the near future involving at least six
of the nine executive departments.
It is likely that the executive depart
ments that will escape investigation
are the departments Of the interior,
agriculture and commerce and labor.
But all the other departments are 10
be overhauled-war, navy, state, treas
ury, postotfice and justice,
Speakinv seriously, however, these
Investigations serve useful purpose
in the American political system.
The certainty that they are to follow
4 change of political control, partic,l-
larly if the retiring party has had q
long lease of authority, doubtless acts
as restraining force all along the
line. Officials are more careful than
otherwise they would be- Congress
itself is more careful in its work. The
wrong doing cannot be covered up in
definitely, and therefore, in this coun-
try, there has not been, under any
political party, any of the serious short
comfngs that have characterized many
Of the countries Of the world.
The forthcoming investigations 0y
congress, therefore, will not be an un-
mixed calamity. Whether anything
worth while is discovered or not, the
country will be satisfied, for it will
know that the ground has all been
gone over by men desirous of finding
out something on which to hang an

The wilful shooting down of
