NEED MORE LIKE IiI,1.

From timc 10 time mention has been
made here of the commcndable stand
Sf Congressman Page. Of North Caro-
lima, in opposing the ancient. but
none the less outrageous forms of con-
Eressional graft. The House of Repre- :
sentatives, which is forever crying for
economy in tho administration Of the
government, will not sweep its own
doorsteps clean. The House takes the
position that extravaganza is rer-
nicious except when practiced by the
House, when II becomes instantly all
right Mr.. Page is not Of that opinion
The latest addition to an already fine
record is his vote against the bill ia
increase the pay of the secretaries to
Congressman from $1,000 10 $4,000 II z
also voted against the congressional
mileage grab, and he has exposed the
free seed graft.
1t is n common procedure in Con-
gress for a Congressman to draw his
secretarial allowance of $500. and
then pay his secretary from $500 to
$1,000 pocketing tho balance himself.
The bill increasing the secretarinl
salary appears good on Its face. bu,
would doubtless be evaded in some
way by Congressman. who would sim
appropriate part of It for their own
! use. The mileage grab is of the same
order. y CONGRESSMAN draws % cents
the milo for mileage. spends or 8
cents Of it and keeps the rest This
is an antiquated graft. for It is n
relic OF sta gccoach days. when 1t
really cost 90 cents mile to travel.
The stagecoach has gone. but the
graft lives on.
The North Carolina Congressman re-.
ferred to has taken a sturdy and de-
ter'nined stand against congressional
graft lie has so few allies that he rs

THE BALFouR LETTER.

Cable dispatches advise us that Pro-
fessor Delbruck has evolved from his
scientific brain the theory that Anglo
German relations were in a Very much
improved condition before the recent
Balfour letter was published, In fact,
the letter has convinced Professor Del
bruck that war between the Two pow
ers can hardly he averted. and 1t is
stated that good many German
ohauvin!sts agree with him. We much
fear that much learning has made the
professor little fundamentally. we
mean for that he is very much out

Also we fear that his malady has by
some tclepathic or psychological pro-
cess infected his admirers and ultra
school of jingoes. On no other hypo-
thesis is it easy to account for his

They gather every pleasant night,
When other people want to snooze,
And then discuss with all their might
The latest things In hats and shoes.
They criticize the hobble gown
That's being worn by Mrs. Jones,
And gossip about Mrs. Brown,
And her new hair in piercing tones.
They talk of novels that they've read
And tell of rumors OF divorce.
They dish up ali their married friends.
They couldn't leave out one, OF
course.
They review all that has occurred
Since last they met and Judgment
passed.
And tell with horror all they've heard
About the windows, sod and grass.
They tell what every ono has had
For dinner every day that week.
There's not fashion or n fad
OF which they Ger forget to speak.
They tell what happened long ago
And what will happen ages he2ce.
Until 1t sometimes seems as though
They can talk everything but sense.
