FIND no ACCOMPlICE
AS YET FOR HOLT.
Examination of Letters DO Not Show
7 He Planned Career of Crime
Month Ago.

New York, July 9.-The New York
police admitted today that p srsistent
efforts to establish the POSSIBLE fact
that Frank Holt. who placed bomb
In the capitol in Washington and at
tackled j. F. Morgan hal an accom-
plice. had failed. They were almost
inclined to abandon the accomplish
theory entirely.
No hint OF an accomplice. no indi-
cation that Holt thought Of a career
OF destruction before he left Cornell
last month; no suggestion that ne had
given thought to the matter was
contained in any of the nearly 1900
letters which he preserved at Ithaca.
Detectives finished the examination
of sthis mass of letters this morning.
Holt not only preserved hundreds Of
letters which he received but kept
copies of many of those he himself
wrote. If any letter came to him or
went from him that was liable to n-
criminate him in any way lie was
careful to destroy 1t.
The police attach some significance
to the fact that the earliest CT the
letters in the collection Is dated July,
| 1905, three months after the murder

ter. supposedly by her husband, a

Recommendation from Samuels Broth

work for them as stcnographe- for
| two months Other letters indicated
that Holt had dabbled IN real estate
! in Florida. The chief mystery at
taching to the letters IS the question
why they should have been preserved
so carefully.
On July 90. 1911, Holt wrote 10
Andrew Carnegie saying that he and

A Vital Issue.

Blame for the prodigality OF the Ma
tional Government is not TO be shifted
back and forth between Congress and
the Administration, or TO be attributed
for campaign purposes first TO one par
ty and then TO another. The response
bility is shared by all parties and by
every agency OF Government. There
can be no hope Of curing the evil ex-
cept by intelligent and patriotic coop
GRAFTON.
Chairman Fitzgerald OF the House
Committee on Appropriations epdeav-
ors to show that Congress has been
more circumspect than the President
and his Cabinet. Mr.. Gillett, ranking
ReLublicon member of the committee,
confirms Mr.. Fitzgerald's figures and
forecasts, but in true partisan fashion
assumes that the fault is wholly with
Democrats. We shall never solve this
problem on such lines.
The fact is that the cost Of Govern
ment has passed beyond the control Of
any one department or any one party.
In the last thirty.five years our popnla-
ton has doubled and our expenditures
have more than trebled. No matter
what party is in the ascendancy, appro-
priations increase. Twenty years ago
billion.dolar Congresses excited atten-
zion. The Congress just adjourned
authorized the expenditure in Two
years of 1921, ,547.
This is more than one-hfth OF the es-
timated ,aiue Of all farm products last
year. 1t is two-thirds Of all the money
in circulation in the United States. 1t
is more than twice the capital Of all
national banks. 1t is almost one-half
of all deposits in savings banks. 1t is
more than s22 for every man, woman
and child in the Republic.
With Federal outlay mounting IN
this fashion, il is TO be remem bered
that under our system there are other
which exhibit the same tendency. The
cost OF Government is increasing faster
than population faster than wealth,
faster than manufactures, faster than
foreign commerce. No other public
issue is Of such Importance. No other
receives so little intelligent and patri-
otto attention.
To master a situation which has been
growing steaC lily worse for many years,
good citizens must forget for a season
that they are Democrats and Republi.
cans and become devoted Americans.
The growth and prosperity of the
country the earnings of labor, the
tranquility OF the people, the promo
ton OF justice, the security OF life and
property even the preservation Of re.
publican institutions, may depend upon
the success Of reform that is both Vi
tai and urRent.-New York World.
