The Bristow Report Published. The report of fourth assistant Post master General J. L. Bristow to the president on the postal investigation has been made public. It is a volum inous document and shows a reign of graft, of unsuspected extent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with losses to the government that run into unknown thousands of dollars. Tyner, Beavers and Machen are chief among those held culpable. Former Assistant Post master General Perry Heath is also in volved in the scandal In a way which threatens his position as secretary of the republican national committee. Corrupt permission for lotteries and fraudulent schemes to use the mails, the selling of positions in the depart ment, the leasing of postoffice build ings, the painting of letter boxes, the purchase of worthless machinery at extravagant prices, the awarding of contracts to favored bidders all these things entered in the postolflce world of "graft" The extent of the corrup tion may "be gathered from the state ment made by Mr. Bristow that the bribes and "rake offs" which went to the pockets of postoffice officials alone were between $300,000 and $400,000. Mr. Bristow does not attempt to esti mate the amount of money lost by the government. It probably reaches Into the millions. Mr. Bristow says the profits of the offenders are "small as compared with the total loss of the government." President Roosevelt heartily ap proves th's exposure of fraud and de clares the guilty must be punished. He urges that the period of statutory lim itation be extended. He also points out that all the offenders, save one. entered office before he succeeded to the presidency. A Costly Mistake. Blunders are sometimes very expen sive.
