The “‘goods” in this case consists of a tell-tale letter written by Superintendent Morrow of the anti- Saloon league to a detective agéncy in connection with an election contest on in Jackson, in which the anti-saloon leader asked if “it would be possible for you to send in perhaps a hundred or two hundred men from Grand Rapids or Detroit, or around about, on contract to vote on the day of elec- tion.” “According to the Detroit Free Press, which has published the letter in fac simile, the document is open to but one construction—‘the superin- tendent was fighting the devil with fire; he suggested & resort to the un- pardonable method of using illegal weapons on the ground that the enemy uses them.” The tender-af his resig- nation uuder such might be construed by the bald rab- ble as a confession of guilt, but the committee has so far falled to accept ft becaupe it prefers‘to régard the of- fense as a mere indiscretion.

Privately, some members admit that the rule, whereby representatiyes certify that they have expended the allotted amount for clerk hire borders upon scandal, In that not a few seem to regard this $125 as a perquisite, to be used as the Individual member deems best. It is sald, by the Washington Times, that it the searchlight is turned on it will be found that some members have no clerks at all, that others are énabled to have their olerfeal work done for one-half the amount granted, and, in some Instances, that one secretary does the work of two or three members of the house. There is now no record kept of the names of those secretaries nor of the amount they receive, the clerk hire allow- ance going direct to the representative. When the provision for clerks was first {|made. a member was required to certify the amount expended for clerical assist- ance up to $10 per month and many mem- bers pald this sum to thelr secretaries. Later, the amount was increased to $1,600 per anhum. At the last sesslon an amendment to the legislative appropriation bill was of- fered requiring clerks to take the oath of office, 5o that thelr names would appear on the house rolls. It was defeated on the ground that if this were done, the amount carried by the rolls would be in. creased, because the clerks would be en- titled to the extra month's pay. 3 In the senate the names of clerical as. sistants are carried upon the rolls. f the amendment is offered by some member of the house who, can show that every cent of his $125 allowance goes to the development of the rather delicate issue raised. y One of the difficult problems which will confront the investigators of the - cost hf living will be found in the concerted main- tenance of prices based on patent rights This 18 one of the difficult problems which have confronted the federal officials In thelr efforts to enforce the Sherman law.

The last republican plat- form pledged this and congress when it passes such an act will meet a pledge made before the whole country, known of all men and accepted by all. The other pledges of that platform, as President Taft shows In his speech, are trafic regulated and restricted and are horrified by its abuses, but they regard colonization of voters and fraud on the ballot equally reprehen- sible, whether practicéd in the name of reform or in defense of vice. y?" asked the ruddy-faced father, Well, because he crawis out of every- thing so easily,” said the wife, smiling up into her husband's face.—L'ppincot.’'s Maga- zine, THE POT ARD THE KETTLE.
