The Oil Scandal
Because of the charges that some
officials in high places have been
faithless to their trust, many people
are inclined to be impatient with
the Government at large and to
inveigh against it.
This attitude is entirely wrong.
Even though it should be proved
that some official, or a group of
them, is guilty of misconduct in the
management of>public affairs, the
government will continue to func-
ton properly as a whole.
That one or two government
officials have been faithless to their
trust has been the sensation of dec

our public officials and employees
are honest, and the Federal Gov
eminent is growing greater and
stronger every day. Itserves its citi-
zens better than any government on
earth has ever served any people.
Come what will-wars, epidem-
les, riots, panics, scandals, good
times and bad, the thousand and
one things the Government does
for the people are attended to
promptly and efficiently.
The mails are carried, the
weather is forecasted, the time is
kept, the standards of weight and
measure are fixed, the courts func-
ton, disease is fought, the money
is made, inventions are patented,
science is fostered, and statistical
records are kept.
The Constitution still guarantees
free speech, religious freedom, the
privilege of peaceable assembly,
the right Of public trial by jury, and
the right to petition the govern
ment for redress of grievances. IF
things go wrong, it is within the
power of the voter to correct them.
1t is the duty of every citizen to
know his Government, and the
short road to this knowledge is to

Stephanie Lonyay, princess of Belgium
and widow of the hereditary Archduke
Rudolphe of Austria, who has been suf-

lie Petit Parisien. The countess, who
has been staying at the hotel here, has
had to give up her daily walks and is

According to the Wiener Journal,
Countess Stephanie has shown symp-

fortunate Empress Charlotte of Mexico.
She is afflicted with Authorizations
