A DISCOURAGED WATCHDOG.

IL must be put to the credit OF Representative
John j. Fitzgerald that he takes seriously his re-
sponsibiities as the chief watchdog OF the Federal
Treasury. lie is chairman Of the House Appropria-
tions Committee post held by famous Democratic
economists. like Samuel j. Randall and William s.
Holman He Is honestly trying TO live up to the
Iandal-Holman tradition but the struggle Is heart
breaking. Nobody blame the Brooklyn Con-
gresham for easing his feelings every and then
with savage denunciation Of the support he is
getting from fellow Democrats who believe that
Randall and Holman are dead ones" and that
Representatives efficiency is judged back home not
10y the money which he saves the government but
by the skill which he shows in plungng his strong
right arm into the Federal Treasury.
Mr.. Fitzgerald soothed his irritation on Friday
by charging most OF his colleagues with "perfdy" to
Democratic pledges. Having promised to spend less
money than the Republicans did they have spent
much more, and still hungry and thirsty. De.

Colorado and California has Increased
enormously since the enfranchisement Of
women went into effect, although there is
no statewide prohibition, and, especially,
1t takes no account Of a fact that is be-
coming gradually recognized by the more
thoughtful in every community, VIZ. that
it is not possible 10 get rid OF deep
rooted evils, such as prostitution and
drunkenness, merely by putting a taboo
upon them II is easy enough to say This

but the same causes go on working, even
though in less obvious channels.
When state wide prohibition was lately
defeated in Colorado Ellis Meredith, the
head OF Denvers reform election COM
mission. wrote in The Woman's Jour
nal" OF November IS. 1872 concerning
the result Of the election: 1T Is because
under our local option law conditions are
so good and dry territory increasing so
fast that many people feel we shall come
rearer regulating the traffic in this way
than by so-called total prohibition. with
the police power in all the big towns OPP
posed TO It."
The fact that the liquor interests are
strongly opposed TO woman suffrage and
that the Womans Christian Temperance
Union is working for the franchise is suf-
ficient 10 show that the suffrage cause and
the liquor traffic are not allied interests
At the same time, however, the results
of the recent elections in Illinois exhibit
the same phenomena as those in Colorado

chiefly concentrated. have gone wet in
spite OF the women's vote, or with the
help of It.
The "antis'' will at once deduce from
this that suffrage is working with the
liquor traffic, but that is because the anti
suffragists are very much like Villa S
wife. When an American correspondent
asked General Villa whether he would let
women have the vote in Mexico II he were
President he was Mortified at the idea.
Let women vote? Impossiblel They are
too severe. They do not think" To illus
trate this he called his wife from her
cooking ard asked her whether he should
shoot the spies he had caught or not
Mrs. Villa, like the "ants," did not pause
before her conclusion. Shoot them, was
her immediate reply.
Suffrage is making women look before
they leap and think before they legislate;
and while it may we'll be possible that some
women agree with @. X. Chesterton. in

T HELPING THE LITTLE GRAFT

The county commissioners made an unfortunate oversight
last Monday when they passed upon the printing bill of Mr.
Dooy the manager of The Bckoot Optmst who assaulted
the editor of the Republican the July meeting because ne insisted
that Dooeys bills should conform to his yearly contract as to
price for space his paper Be it remembered the contract
for all newspaper notices whatsoever ordered by county officials
for public purposes and paid by the county In consideration of
the low price named the contract Mr. Dooy gets all the official
publications made in Blafoo and at every quarterly meeting
he kick the and get higher price for
of his publications The board helps him out when and
July meeting they allowed him overcharge of $2135
just because somebody suggested that certain thing
was customary although violation of his and
conflict with the truth demonstrated before them.
Monday they allowed his bill in which items voat
ing his regard size of type used and nearly doubled
the cost the county, In another item he raised from
prce to $46 The board examined the bill and allowed
and when handed back them by Mr. Trego with information
to overcharge they talked called Mr. Dooy in from
the next room and had little dialogue like this:
The board: 1--WE wanted to see about this $46 What is
it for?"
Mr. Dooley "Why that's for publication Of the notice of
election"
The board: "Well understood you doing all the
publishing of notices contract rate this and we kndey

Mr. Dooley: "No, this is notice required by the state
That's the notice of election"
The board: "Oh is that it? Who ordered i"

The board: "Who O. KID it?
