THE annual overflow Of the Missis-
sippi river this year has caused damage
to property amounting to millions, and
has destroyed crops, the value of which
is inestimable. The loss of life has
also been great, and the suffering
among the people who lost their homes
has only added to the sum of misery
the turbid waters have caused. A fair
idea of the work of destruction may be
gained from number of illustrations
appearing in the June Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The work of
strengthening the levees goes on, and
many ideas have been suggested for
the utilization of the annual overflow
and the prevention of damage in
the future, although none of them
seems to have met with the require
ments of the situation or the approval
of the people in charge of the work.

THE increase of the membership Of
the lower house of congress was a
folly that breaks out on all occasions.
That body appropriated $4,000 addi-
tional funds for Individual clerical as
sistance, a case doubtless of unadulter-
ated plumber. Then there was an
amendment offered to reduce the mile
age of members from twenty to five
cents, but it was voted down with a
crash. One may sugarcoat it as he
pleases, but there is fifteen-cent
gouge of the public treasury for every
mile the congressman travels. And
then there is the vast increase of the
franking privilege which is fraud on
the people in the face of 81, 500 sal
airy. The injury comes to the people
not so much from the loss of money.
but from the loss of character which
attends every transaction where per-
son gets something for nothing. For
instance, what value is to be placed on
a mans moral discrimination who takes
from the people twenty cents for five
cents worth of travel? ''These are
questions for the people to think about
more than tariffs and Sherman laws, =
declares the Ohio State Journal.

CHARLES R. CRANE of Chicago, who
contributed $4,000 to the campaign
fund of Senator La Toilette, and Gift
ford Pinchot, who contributed half as
much, both think they have grievance
against President Taft. This was one
way of expressing it. Mr.. Crane, ap-
pointed minister to China by President
Taft, was recalled just as he was about
to sail. This was not the presidents
fault, but that of Mr.. Crane, who was
so loquatious that he became persona
non grata. If China would not receive
him there was only one thing to do,
not to send him there A minister can
not be forced upon country.

THE boys want try out the income
tax. Nothing strange about this as
the law keeps about two hundred on
the public payrolls who might other
wise have to work for living. Viewed
from the standpoint of the unemployed
it is bowling success. Indeed if it is
to be viewed from progressive stand
point, this is the only view to take of
it. When it comes to the retention of
a law because it makes places for polit-
ical workers, we are fast drifting into
a bad political condition. In fact it is
Just such and similar practices that
give rise to public scandals and make
public office holding disgraceful occu-
patton.
