The Size Of thn Graft.

Mr.. Taxpayer, did you get the significance of

Of the operation of the county poor farm and
hospital during the last year?

which includes not only the food. but also the
kitchen and dining room expense. Counting
three meals daily. the cost OF board for these
county wards 10. therefore. a little less than

On the other hand. through the lobbying
Vaccinations OF the sheriff. the allowance for
feeding jail prisoners was fixed by law at SO

all the profits. II the county Jail prisoners were
fed as we'll as the county poor farm inmates.
which they not. the sheriffs rake-off would be
nearly 15 cents day on every prisoner. or
about tS5 day on a average of $50 prisoners
The truth is that the sheriff's velvet in his
jail-feeding graft is not less than 20 cents per
prisoner per day and is running between $40
and $50 per day. which ought to be saved to the
taxpayers. and would be saved. IL the prisoners
were boarded at the county expense the same
as are the inmates of the other county institu-
lions.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.--To the Editor OF
The Bee: Danger expelleth democracy
is one of the teachings of history. War
means martial law. restriction of freedom
OF speech. press and travel and increase
of bureaucratic influences But German
democracy Is not extinct In spite OF the
intensified Russian peril. as some would
mako US believe. No ono can veto the
decisions of the Reichstag and the fed
erai council. ana the imperial government
Is for every necessary dollar absolutely
dependent on the good will OF the houses,
so that 1t can undertake no important
step without deferring TO the wishes OF
the party leaders.
The kaisers personal influence Is small.
not only with the Reichstag On which
there are ITO socialism,. but even with
the Federal Council. in which body Prus-
sia and Alsace Lorraine (tbe two coun-
tries belonging to the Prussian CROWN
have out Of sixty-one members. together
only twenty. The written official deliv-
erances OF the kaiser with the excep-
ton Of army orders) have to be counter
signed by q minister. while his oral ut
terances are strictly subject to censor
ship, since the crisis Of 1908. when the
kaiser had to yield in this respect to the
peremptory demand Of Parliament.
Hence no "absolutism." no 'Autocracy"
are existent in Germany, and the major
ity of the populaoe are welding there
more power than in those sections Of
the United States whore coiored people

course, much less freedom IL In Germany
now than in time OF peace. ana in peace
time much less than could and would
