Those Charges Against
Director Ralph
Rr DAVID LAWRENCE.
Treasury Departments Special Committee Should Render Promptly
Some Kind . Report.

Charges have been preferred against Director Ralph Of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing These charges have
been under investigation for time by special commit
tee appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury For
reason still unexplained action has been taken on these
charges Mr. Ralph has been adudged neither guilty nor in
nocent of wrongdoing
In the meantime the Bureau is seething with politics
of prejudice and class interest have managed
intense feeling for against the present d
rector among the employees The situation is anything but
pleasant And the important thing to determine is whether
it is merely tempest in teapot that will be remeded by
positive action the part Of the investigating committee
is making for more discord and ineffciency.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is likely to be-
the center of public attention if Liberty bonds not
soon given to those who subscribed Truly the Bureau is
heavily overburdened but the constant wrangng there will
not make the public charitable put it in excusng mood
Chairman tzgerads tilt with Director Ralph at the hear
ngs of the House Committee Appropriations does not
make matters look well for the latter official The expend
ture of funds not authorized by law though for
mendabe and legitimate business purpose might condoned
In emergency, but Director Ralph undertook the
sponsbilty without consulting any superior officer the
ter is not to be dismissed with hand cry of exraor
dnay circumstances" For such step he should have OBJ
tanned the consent of at least Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury or the Secretary himself
But aside from the reprimand administered by Chair
Fitzgerald the chief question raised by the iuvestga
on into affairs at the Bureau of Engraving Printing
relates to the varied complaints of employees Some the
charges serious and it is hoped that they not
true Labor troubles constitute the most difficult of Aer
problems today and In their zeaousness make
dsgruned employees often do not hesitate to make ncrm
mating charges based not upon evidence but suspicion
The point to be decided really is whether Mr. Ralph is
efficient director of the great engraving plant which
the Government is today dependent for quantities
Of postage stamps bonds and currency. Every large
employer has trouble of sort with employees Mr. Rap
has been under fire. however often that general impress
sion of reconeabe friction the Bureau has been created
the Governments business to suffer account of per-
sona controversy Mr. Ralph should be removed the attack
him is personal and the Bureau is operating efficiently
the Director should be promptly cleared of the charges
against his and patriotic employees should cooperate
with him in the interest of the Government But it will do
good to hush up the charges table them The nyest
eating committee ought to make report at of approval
or disapproval of Mr.. Raph's official conduct.

[From the Sacramento Bee, Sept. 8, 1871

The Times published at the National Capital, still

It is not only an anomaly, but well disgrace and
shame that in nation born of the principle No Taxa

If Americans read of such condition Of affairs in
Berlin or London Paris they would feel not only in
gnaon against the authorities decreeing such an out
rage but well contempt for those continuing meeky
to suffer it.
And if the and of Washington do not arise
as Ce to demand their rights American citizensto
declare they longer will submit to be the dog upon which
