THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Deeply fls they regret the discov
ery thnt corruption exists in the
excutive department in Washington,
republicans here, and probably
throughout the country, are rejoiced
that President Roosovelt litis had
the courage to probe to the bottom
one government department and
row contemplates the thorough in
vestigation of another. There is in
some quarters an impression thnt
the control of the reins of govern
ment by one of the great parties,
beyond a limited time, inevitably
results in dishonest administration
nnd the time is not remote when the
domocrats gained a national victory
with the slogan "Turn the rascals
out." That thoy might have done
so again had there been any lack of
earnestness on the part of the pres
ident in investigating the postofllco
department is admitted by the wiser
republican politicians, but it is ap
preciated now, even by the demo
crats, that Mr. Roosovelthas effect
ually spiked any democratic guns
which may have been loaded with
charges of corruption by inangu
rating a thorough investigation of
the postofQce department and by
preparing for. a top to bottom inspec
tion of the Government Printing
Office.
It was not with the expectation of
finding dishonest methods that
President Roosevelt determined to
institute an investigation of tho
methods in vogue in the Printing
Office, but with a view to ascertain
ing why it was that the cost of
printing and binding performed by
the publio printer should so greatly
exceeed the cost of the same work
performed by private institutions.
Since, however, an investigation has
been determined upon, there have
been a number of charges that there
are serious leaks in the administra
tive methods. A rule of the book
binders' union which limited the
daily task of all its members first
called the attention of the. president
to the extravagant conduct of the
government printing establishment
and it is probable that to that rule
he charged much of the increased
cost of the federal printing and
binding but, to the surprise of many
the officers of the bookbinders' union
announce that they will weloome an
investigation as it will-reveal the
real leak and relieve their union
from the odium of an unjust sus
picion. While there will doubtless
be many unfounded rumors of cor
ruption in the printing office from
now on, no one who has witnessed
the thorough methods and the
courageous spirit which have char
acterized the Investigation of the
postoffioo department will for a
moment believe that the president
will be satisfied with any "superfic
ial investigation" and the general
publio will rest assured that, whon
Secretary Cortolyou, who by his
high probity and businesslike meth
ods has already won the respect of
the publio and to whom the conduct
of the investigation will be confided,
has complete! his examination of
the government printing office, he
will have loft unturned no stone nor
permitted to escape his attention
his attention any improper trans
action. In the words of a prominent
aemooratio member of congress,
now in Washington, "President
Roosevelt is stealing our thunder
He is turning his own rascals out."
What is regarded as the most im
portant and wide - sweeping dis
closure in connection with the post-
office investigation has just occurred
The grand jury of the District of
Columbia bus just returned indict
tnents ngainst eight persons, chief
of whom is August W. Mnchen, the
other seven being Macheu's confed
erates iu various genomes to defraud
the government and as a result of
which it to estimated that Mnchen
and his pals have divided profits
amounting to upwards of 175,000
the cases just disclosed being differ
etit from the previous indictments of
Machen which have boen related in
these letters. In addition to those
heretofore indicted and now indict
aaiu, the grand jury has returned
true bills against William C. Lou
of Xeiiiu, Ohio, but more recently
of Wushitigtou, Maurice fluukle uf
New Yoik, Juho T. Cupper, mayor
of Lock haven. Pa., William Gordon
Crawford, manager of the IVstul
Lock & Device eomyany of Xew
V oik and one time deputy auditor
for the pciitulhce di piu tim-nt.
There, are i.nr contracts HwaiJcd
I I M.,t hen iu his i.cu:lty of gutieral

based. In two cases Mnchen award
d contracts for carrier's bags or
satchels, to be provided with should
er straps. Ho then awarded other
contract for straps. Having bought
and paid for the straps with govern
ment funds ho delivered them to the
manufacturers of the satchels whom
he induced to pay him the amount
thus saved to then). He moreover
made the contractor who furnished
the straps pay him a commission.
In tho third instance Mnchen pur
chased, without calling for bids,
certain leather cases used by carriers.
For those he paid 90 cents each, a
fair price being 30 cents, and com
pelled the maufacturers to divide
between himself and his confeder
ates tho remaining 60 cents. In the
fourth instance, Machen awarded to
Mayor Capper a contaact for paint
ing letter boxes which tho manu
facturers wore required by contract
to paint, and under this contract
divided with his pals the sum of
$18,000. So closoly identified with
Machen nnd lit "forty thieves" was
II. II. Hand, confidential clerk to
the postofflce general that, it is un
derstood, the president requested
Postmaster General Payne to dis
pense with Rand's services when
Mr. Payne called recently at Oyster
Bay.
The President nnd Secretary Root
have received another appeal from
the Manilla chambor of commerce
for free trade between the Philip
pines and the United States. So
insistent are tho Filipinos becoming
in their demands for free trade and
so logical is their argument, based
on the example of Porto Ii'co which
has prospered so extensively since
free trade was granted the island,
that it is deemed likely that the
effort to suspend the tariff on Phil-
ppine imports will be renewed dur
ing the coming session of congress.
Senator Lodge and Senator Foraker
are both enthusiastic in favor, of
such a move and, in fact, it was
only the opposition of tho democrat
senators from Colorado which pre
vented a far greater reduction of
the tariff on Philippine goods at the
last session.
Prof. Jordan on Woman Suffrage
President David Starr Jordan of
Stanford University writes:
The purpose of manhood suffrage
is not primarily to give good govern
ment, but to make men strong.
Without responsibility for national
affairs, men will lose interest in them.
Without interest, they will fail in
intelligent comprehension of them.
The tendency of manhood suffrage is,
to give broader views, wiser methods
of action, and higher patriotism.
While democratic forms often yield
bad government, it is through their
operation that w have the best
guarantee of good government in the
future.
If voting has this effect on man,
we have a right to expect similar
results from the extension ot the
suffrage to woman. It has been
made a reproach to women that they
are short-sighted, devoted to the
near and the immediate, careless of
ultimate results. This tendency
exists in the nature of things for
woman's sphere is the home, rather
than the nation. Hut, if it be a
reproach, the extension of responsi
bility would correct it.
11 is moreover true that the
average man is prone to teel a
greater interest in far-away affairs,
which lie cannot control, than in near
matters which effect him vitally,
lie neglects the home and its needs,
in his interest in the nation. The
sanitation of our own streets, the
extinction of the slums in our own
city, the purification of centres of
corrosion which destroy our own
children, is fur more vital to us, as
individuals, than the problems ol
imperialism, of commercialism, or
even of national finance. In great
affairs our republie is the most stable
of nations. Her failure is in local
and municipal admiuistrvtioii. It is
the rellex of the weakness of the
average man. This the shorter but
clearer silit of the average woman
would tend to counteract.
"KijUi'l suffrage would tend to
broaden the minds of women, and to
increase their sense of personal re
sponsibility. It may help to solve
the problem of honest and clean local
government. It may tend to make
our cities centres of sweetness ami
lihi, as well as of activity anil

OBITUARY
nil A N Kit WOOD
One of the oldest residents of the
county, and one whose name was
familiarly known throughout its
entire confines, passed away last
Saturday morning, August 1. Mr.
Wood was born in Orange county,
New York, February 2, 1816, and
was a son of Charles and Phebe
Wood. While young his parents
brought him to this county nnd
settled in what subsequently became
Shoholit township. His lather pur
chased the land in 1H30 on part of
which Mr. Wood lived and on which
he died. When a young man lie
made a trip to New Orleans and for
a time was employed as overseer on
a southern plantation. Returning
by way of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers he came to this county and
engaged in farming, which pursuit
he successfully followed until declin
ing years compelled him to retire.
He was a man of sound judgment,
strict integrity and unbending will,
known and respected far and wide
for his upright character and indus
trious and prudent habits. He
married Elizabeth Middaugh, a
daughter of one of the oldest settlers
in that vicinity, who survives hint.
He Is alsostirvived by two daughters,
Jerusha, wife of W. C. Curtright of
Lackawaxen: Rebecca J., wife of
Thomas Bradford of Shohola; John
F., an attorney and editor of the
Ouray Times, Colorado, and Samuel
whose residence is unknown. The
funeral services were held Monday
and interment in the Woodtown
cemetery. .
ROOF.lt ASHHUnsT
Roger Ashhurst, one of the best
known young men practicing at the
Philadelphia bar and the scion of an
old family, died Monday night at
the Bluff House.
Mr. Ashhurst'seyes became af
fected about a mouth ago and at the
suggestion of medical advisers, he
decided to visit Miiford, in the hope
that the change might benefit. On
tho way ho was taken suddenly ill
and grew rapidly worse.
Mr. Ashhurst was 28 years old
He was the son of Richard Lewis
and Sarah Frazer Ashhurst and was
well known in society circles. He
was a gradua'e of tho University of
Pennsylvania law department,
where he distinguished himself
among the members of bis clans,
and was practicing law at the time
ho became ill.
Lie was a leading member cf the
State Bar Association and popular
among the members of theUnivers
lty Club. His brother, Frazer Ash
hurst, died about teu years ago.

PIKE'S COUNTY BEAT
Effort Being Made to Change Place
From Miiford to Matamoras
"Thore is a prospect of removing
Pike's county Boat from Miiford to
Matnmoras.
"Milfordites are fighting the
scheme bittorly and say there is no
chance for the Matamoras people to
succeed.
"'Miiford has always been the
county seat nnd always will be,' Bay
leading residents of that villiage.
. "The movement began among tho
citizens of Matamoras and other
towns ir. the northern and western
portions of Pike county.
'It is clnimed by those who favor
the change that publio convenience
would be promoted by such a change
nnd the public expenses reduced. It
is said that a enreful cnnvnss of the
towns lying west of Matamoras on
the Erie and along tho Lackawaxen
branch roveals a strong sentiment
in favor of such a change.
"It is said that a large land owuor
in Matamoras has offered to give
the county buildings iu case the
change is made."
The above, clipped from the
Northampton Democrat, we don't
know from whore it clipped it, is
just the kind of stuff dreams nre
made of. Do people up there sup
pose that a county seat enn bo
changed as easily as a Matamoras
lady tints hor oomplexion? If this
emeuates from Matamoras people
it would look as though their suc
cess in defeating a Port' Jervis water
crowd nnd substituting for it a hot
air concern of their own had turned
their heads. There is just about as
much probability of a change of the
county seat to Matamoras as there
thnt Matamoras will become a
strictly prohibition village within
the next five years.
Johnson Rises to Remark
To the Editor of Pike County Press :
Apropos of my sigiv-on elevation
rear of Old Half-Way House, which
now reads "Bust Johnson's Face,"
would say that I most heartily
decline as party of the Second Part,
to hnve my face subject to any such
strenuous treatment for two good
and sufficient reasons. First, I have
only one face, and then again, it
would hurt.
However, if the young gentlemen
will come to the conclusion the joke
has been in operation long enough
and is getting whiskers upon it, and
will replace my sign as it originally
stood, all will be forgiven.
It ia no small task to drag heavy
rocks to their proper place to form
these letters and I would ask in fair
ness to myself that I may not be
obliged to do it unaided and aloue
If the young gentlemen, who are
authors of this practical joke, and
who are all friends of mine, will
designate some convenient time,
will meet them and together we will
wend our way to the spot where
The Fitter of Feet" has been trans
formed into the subject of "facial
massnge" and thore, together, right
the wrong and proclaim to the world
once moro that I am the only and
original "Fitter of Feet."
Yours very truly,
Joseph Johnson.
Two Men Injured
As Joe CarhufT, presidont of the
Dolaware township schoolboard,
who lives ou the former Kilsby
farm back ol (.onasliaiigli, was
returning home from the- primary
at Dingmana last Saturday, he met
near the residence of A. S. Dingman
on the river road a man on a bicycle
and becoming, for some unexplained
reason, angry with him, turned his
team, a pair of colts, and started in
pursuit. At the little rise just
beyond Adams brook and nearly
opposite the house of Laf Quick he
overtook the wheelman, and, it is
said, drove directly over him. The
wagon tongue struck the man in the
back, threw him off the wheel
which was smashed, and hurt him
quite badly. Cnrhuff fell out of the
wagon, the team ran on to Dingmans
and ou the porch of the High Fall
Hotel where it was caught. CarhufT
is now under the hands of Dr.
Chapin and tho school board will be
without a head until he recovers.

TEN DOLLARS A DAY
Something for Boys and Girls to
Think About During Vacation
How much is a dny at school
worth to a boy? Porhips the boy
himself has never figured it up.
Cften, indeed, he thinks it would
pay him better if he could quit
school and go to work. But lately
a West Virginia man has worked
out the matter on a cash basis and
given ns this result, which every
boy in the United States ought to
know Bnd think over if he wants to
be the most valunble mnn possible.
The West Virginia man begins by
this fundamental axiom : You find
the value of a boy's time at school
by subtracting the earnings of a life
of uneducated labor from the earn
ings of a life of educated labor."
That's entirely cloar and obviously
trus, isn't it, boys? Then he goes
on to calculate the earning of nn-
educated labor at one dollar and
fifty cents a day for three hundred
days in the yenr ; a llboral estimate,
of course, because many laborers
only earn a dollar a day. But at
his high estimate, and supposing
that the uneducated worker has
steady employment for forty years,
he will earn in that time one dollar
and a half multiplied by three
hundred multiplied by forty, or
eighteen thousand dollars.
So much for uneducated labor.
The educated man is usually paid,
not by the dny, but by the month or
tho year ; and, ns the West Virginia
man reminds us, all the large salaries
and earnings belong in this class,
from the President of the United
States, with his fifty thousand a year
to tho presidents of the insurance
companies and the managers of the
great railroads. For this reason, in
striking nn average, one thousand
dollars n year is a very low estimate,
indeed, of the earnings of educated
labor. Forty years of educated work
represent, therefore, forty thousand
dollars as a low average, while eigh
teen thousand dollars for uneducated
work is a high average. The differ
ence between them is a very fair
representation of the value of an
education to the worker, and that
difference is just twenty-two thous
and dollars.
"The average sohool life of every
boy and girl in Massachusetts," the
calculation goes on, "is seven years
of two hundred days eaoh ; let ns say
that it takes four years more to get
a good education. Eleven years of
two hundred days each amount to
twenty-two hundred days. A simple
division on the blackboard will bring
it home to the comprehension of
every boy that, if the whole value of
these twenty-two thousand dollars,
every day at sohool, properly spent,
must be worth ten dollars."
One of the sohool commissioners
of Pennsylvania says he would like
to have this simple calculation
"carried into every schoolroom and
put on every blackboard, se that
pupils may learn it and carry it
home and discuss it with parents."
Go ovsr it as much as yon please,
boys ; test it and try it by your own
calculations ; think about it. Yon
will find it a fair calculation, and it
ought to be an inspiring one to every
lad who intends to be an educated
worker in this land of education and
opportunity.
Ten dollars a day ! The boy or
girl who realizes that will not want
to play truant. Shirking one's
lesson will be seen in its true light
not as cheating the teacher, but as
cheating one's self out of actual
value. To make eaoh dav worth its
full amount, each scholar must be
fully in earnest. Selected by V. A.
Wood.

TRIALS
Somehow, I'm never satisfied,
I'm sick and tired and mad.
If tlilngi would only make a obange,
I'd be most awful glad.
The things I want I never get.
And those thnt I possoss.
Are things that I don't want at all
Care nothing for, or loss.
Tho only good straw hnt I've got,
Is eight years old, I guess.
And my very only summer gown,
Is Ma's old percale dress.
My winter wrap is not quite new
'Til old enough to vote.
I don't mind letting on right here,
It's Dnd's old Sunday coat.
For all my olothos I twist and turn,
And make them wrong side out.
But whon they're on, I look as good
As other folks, no doubt.
The pnrson says we ought to be,
Content with what we've got.
I wonder if he e'er sat down,
To an empty dlnner-potf
'Tls not the things I've got that hurt,
There's not enough of them.
A nice new frock with ruffles on,
And Ince around the hem.
With ribbons hore and there and o'er,
And sloeves like a balloon
But when I count my monoyup
It never fits the tune.
One pair of nice kid gloves I have.
I koap them very eholoe.
I've had them only about four years,
In them I still rojoloe.
With mucilage I mend the hole
That has come in the handle,
But when I'm dressed, there is no one,
To me can ho.'d a candle.
And thus I worry on thro' life.
Sny I don't care for dress.
Because I've got so little ot It,
Is the reason, none shall guess.
And though you see I'm not content
I never will let on,
But travel on the same old way
Till all my clothes are gone.
