LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MT. Editor: Having read in The Bulle- tin the political opinions of several indi- viduals, have decided American histori- ans, not such individuals. are blarnable for political resentment as existing at the present time. The American historian has given us honest facts, He gives credit where credit is due, without regard to choice of nationality. The individual, on the other side Of the political fence. takes exception to such credit given and . jealous argument is the result I would suggest anything appearing in American history of nature bearing a little hard Oh England De immediately eliminated" and especially where the name of an Irishrnan is connected with the same as English propasandists don't
 relish any credit ts be given to them.
 Every article h American history such as I have mentioned I would transform to suit the occasion, and when such is com
 pletsd EngiAnd' and her ptopagandists will have Ae cause for complaint. For instance, I would take the case of Gen ePal Sullivan and John Langdon, when they teok 1ee barrels of 6uApowder from Fort William and Mary. for the use ol | the ContinentaL army. I would put thI incident like this: "JeAn Salvatafo and John LAnEden formed . partnership tc carry on the butcher businesA, and kaow' 1 ing 1ee barrels Of sawNust was slowed place and carried them away, knowing \ such seods would be useful iA their busi AAgs."

CUTTING BUT WASTING.

However great is the need for it and however much the lower house of con gress is endeavoring to practice econ omy, it is difficult to reconcile some Of tho things that are being done.
 Without any question there is need for saving government funds whenever and wherever it can be properly done. It is a time for the cutting down of needless expenditures and putting a check upon extravagance but there arc certain ven established branches of the government which cannot be wisely ignored or de- prived of means of sustenanee.
 Just at the present time indications point strongly to the fact that it is the purpose of the house to reduce the ap- propriation for the consular service so that the quarter of a million for post allowances will be eliminated. Even though there is a possibility that this will be replaced by the senate it displays disposition to cripple the consular ser vice and make it more difficult to get efficient men for the posts.
 The house appears to be degfrUus of saving money and for that it deserves commendatiol but in the pursuit of that policy it should be consistent Instead of taking funds away from branch Of the government service that is needed the curtailment should come fhere there win ba no detrimental effects to the country. It cannot be overlooked that while the house is willing to save this quarter of a million it is eager to spend a third of c million for free seeds, even increas sing the appropriation of last year by over S120.000. Had the house been really de- sirous of saving at every possible oppof- tunity it would not have taken the stand it did on free seeds, after the committed had failed to place the item in the bill In view of such cases the economy wave
 in the house Is open to attack on tho
 ground of insinceritS. Free seeds can te dispensed with and no one will know the difference. but when the consular service and even the coast guard ser vice, which has been directed to econo
 mize until it hurts and possibly till i | affects the value of its service, are dam | aged it is evident that wise policy o 1 economy is not being followed

ALTO STEALING.

Heavy losses and no end of annoyance have been caused by the large number of automobiles which have been stolen throughout the country. Because of the comparative ease in getting away with cars and disIpsing of them after they rave been stolen, as well as the handsome returns which come from such operations thoso looking for easy money without being particular how it is obtained have turned their attention to such work and become engaged in it on 8 large scale Conditions have forced the adoption of new legislation to prevent such thefts and while there havs been some good ef- fleets because of the restraint placed upon the haEdling of second hand cars it hasn't prevented indulgence in the crime.
 Courts have recognized the need of ap- plying their power of discourage by giving heavier sentences and of course greater care is exercised by auto owners regarding their cars. If however, the charges which have been made by ex- Governor Whitman of New York in eom- rcction with the indictment of two de lcctive se-yeants are substantiated il will show that more than those who steal and sell tna cars are interested in such activities.
 From the Investigations which he has | been making it would appear that some of the police have been profiting to tht -ztent of nearly a half million dollars i from the return of stolen cars to theil l owners. That may explain why sutt thieves operated with such success, wh! only about half of those stolen wer,
 ever recovered and possibly that ther, was an understanding between those en
 gagged in the stealing and those on tn police force who were profiting from stel l en cars. It is bad enough to have suel | large losses sustained from the appro
 priation of the property of others, bu
 the situation grows much more seriou when there Is complicity between tn lawbreakers and those who are named t
 see' that the law is enforced. Even 1
 thHre isn't an understanding the retur
 of stolen cars to the owners doesn't cal
 for the rewarding of policemen and sue
 rewards are in fact against the law be
 cause of the demoralizing effect they ar
 bound to have upon police service, whic is otherwise paid for.
