OUN'S REVIEW

NEW YORK, May 12-Dun's Re- view tomorrow will say:
 Nothing has developed to prevent continuance Of the remarkable activ- lties and unprecedented achievements in the business world. international uncertainties still cause hesitancy in Inc securities markets, but productive 'nterprise remains unaffected and labor troubles are less disturbing. The most gratifying feature of the situa ton. as IL has been for some time. is the absence of e1cesses and general avoidance of over extension in all legitimate undertakings. This af- lords the best assurance of sustained economic progress, and while pres sure Of new demands has clearly sub sided in certain important lines, spe- cial causes are not needed to ac- count for some abatement after months of buying.

HEARD AT THE NATIONAL 4
CAPITAL \


Washington, June 24-The Dictator
ial bureaucrack Of the puresent Demo-
cratic administration received two
severe checks in Washington in recent
weeks. The first, and It was indeed a
severe Jolt, was the verdict Of jury
acquitting the officers of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank, against whom the Treas
ury Department has been conducting
investigations and prosecutions for
several months. The manner in which
the bank had been pursued by the
comptroller Of the currency gave color
to the claim Of the bank officers that
they were being prosecuted. The YER
dict of the jury against the Depart
ment has left no doubt in the minds
Of business men that the whole case is
an illustration Of the danger of en-
'ttrusting large discretionary power to
politicians who happen to be placed in
Temporary places Of authority for po-
litical reasons. The Treasury Depart
ment will undoubtedly not be so ready
to attack another business institution
that meets its displeasure. II took a
jury of twelve men only a minute to
agree upon verdict against the De-
partment i'm this case.

The other instance in which the ad-
ADMINISTRATION received a rebuke was in
connection with postal legislation, The
llSenate Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads had agreed upon certain
recommendations regarding rural de-
livery service and railway mail pay
Members of Congress had been Hooded
with protests against the policies the
Department has been trying with pro-
tests against the policies the Depart
ment has been trying to put in practice
I'm the rural service, and, i'm an effort
10 meet the demands of the patrons of
the rural delivery service, the Commit
tee proposed certain restrictive regula-
| ions which would prevent the Depart
ment from further demoralizing the
service. Fourth Assistant Postmaster
IEcneral Blakesdale, who has super
vision Of the rural delivery service
Immediately sent out a number of telc-
grams and letters to postmasters di-
reCting them to start propaganda
against the proposed legislation. The
language he suggested to them was not
at all complimentary to the members
of the Senate Committee In fact, it
reflected upon their fitness for seats in
! the Senate. Postmaster General Bur
llcson denied having anything to do
with the propaganda work, so the
COMMITTEE called Blakeslce on the car
| pet and reprimanded him in no uncer-
| tain terms. The most serious disclo-
sure of the whole affair is that the
kilograms sent by Blakesdale were paid
| for by the Government. While the cost
of the kilograms was probably not
great. the principle is the same. II II
is lawful for an administrative oncer
to eXpend a hundred dollars directing

President Wilson has taken the one
step necessary to drive away from the
Democratic partQ to the support of ey-
cry colored voter He has appointed
a white man to the position Of Record
err of Deeds of the District of Column
bia. Cleveland established the custom
of placing a colored man in this posi-
ton. Every President since has OBJ
served this custom. During his 1912
campaign Woodrow Wilson assured
of the colored race
that he would not discriminate against
the colored people in the matter of APP
pointments After his election he
promised to appoint a colored man TO
this particular office. His recent APP
pointment of John f. Costello, Demo
cratic Committeeman from the Dis
trict of Columbia, is not only a yio-
lation of his promise but violation of
a custom so well established that his
act cannot be construed otherwise than
as a direct slap at the cOlored people.
One-third of the population of the Dis
trict is colored There is one question
that plenty of qualified men could be
found among the members of that race.
The position is purely clerical and has
been satisfactorily filled by colOred
men for many years.
