THE GRAFTERS.
The leading article in the last
issue of the Saturday Evening
Post, published in Philadelphia,
is "The Grafters.-' It deals
with the methods employed by
big and little politicians in in
creasing their salaries, Jat the
public's expense, closing with
the following words:
"It may be disheartening to
the honest citizens out of politics
to the man with the good of his
country at heart to contemplate
the fact that the tirail of the graft
is over the politics of the coun-
try."
It is about all graft. Disinter
estedness is an illusion. There
is no such thing. Influence and
political power are worth exactly
what they cash in]for in patron
age and perquisites. A" ^poli
tician who cannot get joos
somehow, anyhowfor his peo
ple doesn't last a week, nor does
one who cannot get other things
of various kinds.
Graft is the basis of politics,
Graft is the life blood of politics.
Graft controls, dominates, sways.
Hairs can be split about terms,
Protests can be made. Hands
can be held up in horror. Indi
viduals can proclaim they Jar
free from the taint but analyze
it, sift it, dissect it, and back of
it all, under it all, when hypo*
crisy is cleared and men tell the
truth, is graft, graft, graft.
A LITTLE OFF.
Senator McMullin raised a
scare on a possible danger to
Canada from the United States
in connection with the second
reading of the Grand Trunk
Pacific company incorporating
bill at Ottawa. Judging from
his remarks he must have been
indulging in the famous Black
duck brand of whiskey. He
pointed out in detail the places
in which Canada was open to the
attack, and dwelt on the danger
of the agitation in the United
States for the building of gun
boats on the Great Lakes. He
warned the senate the railroad
which would be far to the north
could not be built a moment too
soon.
"The United States," he said,
'was anxious for a tight with a
European nation, and its appetite
has been whitted by the brush
with Spain."
.Senator McMullin would do
well to keep on his own side of
the national boundary^ Crossing
it might land him in the hospital
for the insane.
SHiPPERSare protesting against
the enforcement of the new pure
food law governing imports into
this country on the grounds that
it causes them loss. Of course
it does, but as the shipper's loss
is the consumer's gain both in
money and health, it is not likely
that the objections will have any
effect on the law.
SENATOR E. T. YOUNG has
started out to make the St. Paul
Dispatch prove its charge that
he is the' merger candidate for
attorney general. He knows the
libel suit will be lost, but is well
aware that the high class adver
tising he' will receive will more
than pay the costs of the action.
ANY girl desiring to be known
to the world at large as a social
favorite and society leader need
only attempt forgery on a large
scale or do something equally
sensational. The metropolitan
dailies will do the rest.
