THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Events of Interest from the

BY j. f. JONES.
Useful Men With Bugs"

Some of the most useful men in
the country are commonly referred
to as bugs" They have some fine
principle which they industriously ad
vocate and their sincerity brings sane
and conservative men to their sup
port, with the result that great prob
lens like the regulation of interstate
commerce, trusts, parcel post, etc.,
are eventually solved. Anthony Com
stock is an illustration. A quarter of
century ago he made a reputation
by his crusade against obscene liter
allure. 1t was always safe to wager
that a picture of female was bad in
the opinion Of Comstock, II it lacked
in shawls, draperies or mackintoshes.
But the good old government took
Comstock for his honest Intentions
and made postoffice inspector out Of
him. Comstock was not hampered
by ordinary routine or restrictions
He went his own gait and piled up a
big collection of "art' he had confis-
Gated. The postoff1ce department has
long looked upon him as sort of
bull in china shop, and though it
doubtless comes hard, the decision
has been reached that he must get
out. So it is with all real rabid re-
formers--sooner or later they are
cast off, and people refuse to stand by
them in the declining days of their
lives.
Politicians and Their Books.
A sort of three-cornered contro-
versy is being waged between the
present governor of New York, his
immediate predecessor. and Comptrol-
Ter Prendergast, as to whether the
last state administration left deficit
of several million dollars, or a sur
plus of few millions. This reminds
one of the claims of former Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock that he had
achieved surplus in the postoffice
department, a claim which his sue
cessor fatty denied. And now when
Mr.. Burleson claims the same thing
for the present administration he is
met with the unfeeling invitation to
"get off your foot"
The same methods of unsatisfac-
tory bookkeeping are followed in
nearly all the state capitols. The pol
iticians cannot, or possibly will not,
keep accurate books. The federal
and state governments insist that the
big corporations shall provide the
most accurate accountings, but in
their own household there is a la

Partisans for the express compa-

has never been able to establish prac-
tical rates for the parcel post or for
letter mail, and the argument is that
this proves that the federal authori-
ties are likely to be wrong regarding
their methods in regulating the ex-
press companies. However, a good

subject profess to believe that the ex-

Passenger Pigeons Extinct.
In denying the reported reward to
any person finding a passenger or
wood" pigeon nest containing two
eggs, the department of agriculture
has taken occasion to state that this
species of fowl is entirely extinct. In
former times the passenger pigeon
was found in perhaps greater num-
bers than any American bird. The
government officials state that the
mourning dove has often been mis-
taken for the passenger pigeon, but
adds that this bird is quite distinct
and is shorter and has different color
markings.
