CONGRESSIONAL GRAFT

The United Sites senate did itself
credit when it abolished the tele-
graph franking graft, which has ex-
listed for SO many years that it had at
tanned a semblance of responsibility.
In prohibiting members from using a
telegraph Thanking privilege in the
transaction Of either private or public
business the senate went even further
than the critics of the system would
have asked. The abuse of the priyi-
lege has been for the most part con-
fined to the practice of compelling the
government to pay for the transaction
of private business of congress-. There
is no greater reason for the people
paying the telegraph bills of senators
and representatives than for paying
their house rent or their grocery bills.
Elimination Of the private graft is
such a long step in the right direction
that the people probably would not
have objected to a continued use of
the franking privilege for the trans
action of public business, and it may
turn out that the interests Of the pub
lie will suffer somewhat from a radi-
Val Sul ttIIlllcllt VI LilS pIlNllCSc,
which is more an official convenience
than a personal perqusite. If congress
men must pay for the dispatches per
tanning wholly to public matters it is
very reasonable to suppose that they
will send fewer kilograms.
That the spirit of franking reform
is rife is still further indicated by
the proposition to restrict the mai
frank to 5000 a year. Even with this
restriction the people would have t.
pay in round numbers $780, 900 an
nually for mailing documents, speech
es and sundry publications-to sa.
nothing Of the seed graft, an over
whelming proportion of which is alb
sOlutely wasted. There would be
still further saving of huge sums b,
reducing the quantity of these docu
ments, which are printed at public ex
pense. Carloads of utterly useless
printed matter are now franked ever.
year, and other carloads of almos
equally useless garden seeds" add t.
the burden which this form of graft
places upon the people.
There is no sane reason for clog
ging the waste baskets Of the cour
try with hundreds of thousands Q
dollars worth of publications that ar
never read. There is no sane reaso
why the people should pay any POI
ton of the campaign expenses of sci
ators and representatives by permit
ting them to frank speeches which ar
neither delivered by the speakers nc
read by the constituents.
The abolition of the telegraph franl
ing graft, the mailing frank graft, tn
free seed graft, the dishonest mileag
graft and possibly smaller simils
raids upon the pocketbook of the PEI
pie would effect some very salutar
and welcome reforms. The enterin

New Specifications
For Hickory Handles

Through new specifications for AK,
sledge, adj, pick and other hickory
handles, the Panama canal authorities
have recently purchased large quantities
of this class of material for one-fourth
less than formerly paid, and at the same
time are getting just as serviceable stock.
The war department and the navy de-
partment, as we'll as the Panama canal
commission, have adopted these specifi-
cations, which were prepared by the for
est service primarily for the use of the
various branches of the federal govern
ment. Subsequently, however, they
have been approved by the trade, both
manufacturers and dealers, and adopted
by several of the leading railroads.
The new rules are the result of long
study of the subject, covering exhaus-
tive strength tests, investigations of the
growth of hickory in the woods, process
SEES of manufacture, and market condi-
tons. Under the new specifications
handles are selected according to weight,
as influenced by the density of the wood,
and they now include material which
may be either partly or wholly of heart.
wood, known generally as red hickory.
Red hickory formerly Disseminated
against in commercial grading, but it is
now accepted, since it has been found
that weight for weight it is just as SER
viceable as the white hickory. Handles
which contain small sound knots or
bird pecks, SO located as not to affect
the strength, are also accepted.

Methodist church was gay with flags

occasion of missionary review of the
nations by the children and young
people of the Sunday School. From the
first note in the professional to the
closing song there was not a dull
minute. The gay flags and colors
wrought out in the children's costumes
made brilliant picture and strong
missionary appeal.
As the nations passed In review be-
fore the leader each one failed to en-
body the perfect principles of truth and
purity and brotherly kindness In the
highest manner. The one banner which
stood for brotherhood was the flag of
the cross. The flag drill was well exc
cuted and was a pretty spectacle. The
members of the missionary societies
brought up their pledges and a supple
mental fund was collected for the Bel
gians.
