GRAFT UNKNOWN IN
ENGLAND AND GERMANY

In his letters telling of conditions
abroad, Frank Putnam lays stress
upon the statement that persons cleo
ted to office in great Britain consid-
er it a high honor. He should have
gone further and stated that in
Great Britain and Germany graf is
unknown in public life, because if
a public official in caught in any
dubious transactions not even the
throne can save him from imprison-
ment. Furthermore, the ignominy
is so terrible that a man will not
dare betray his political trust for
money. Should he do so his family
as well as himself would be socially
ostracised. Government in Euro
pean nations. except Russian and
such countries, is absolutely free
from graft. Some pensioners arc
carried on the rolls, but they are old
and faithful servants and not dead
ducks" Every penny of Taxes is ac-
counted for in Europe, while in
America a city which gets so cents
on the dollar is in luck. The recent
government report should be a sub
ject of daily discussion in the news
papers. 1t shows we look upon
graft as a natural perquisite Of Of
flee. Until we eliminate graft and
see thai every vote is counted as
cast we will have rotten govern
ment, national, state, county and
municipal.-State Topics.
