Expense Ot Being Careles A prominent business man, accord ing to "Success Magazine," says that the carelessness, inaconraoy, and blundering of employees cost Chicago one million dollars a day.

Blunders and inaccuracies coat a' New ' York' coocorn twenty five thousand dollars a year? . Many an employee who would be shocked at the thought of telling hia employer a lie with his Hi is lying every day In tbe quality of work, In his dishonest service. In tbe rotten hours he Is slipping into it, in shirking, In his indifference to his employer's interests. It i jost as dishonest to express deception in poor work, iu shirking, as to ex pret-a it with the lips, yet I have known office boys, who oonld not be induced to tell their employer a direct lie, to steal hit time when on an errand, to hide away during working hours. to smoke a cigarette or take a nap, not r?Hztng perhaps, that lies can be acted as well aa told, and that acting a lie may be even worse than telling one.

Fulton Was Not An In ventor. - It must be understood that In all this work neither Fulton nor Living ston claimed to be the "inventor" of a steamboat John Fitch's grant was for "the steamboat lately by him Invented " This was extended to Livingston, says John L. Mathews in "Success Magazine," because he "claimed to be possessed of a mode of propelling boats by steam," though ae a matter of fact, Morey had re fused to sell hltr. that mode. Later Pulton claimed to have invented a method of compnting the relation between displacement, horse power and' speed, bat he was never able to make this table work. He him self denied his claim to "invention," but the waxing power of the monop oly, and the spectacular fortune making, combined with legislative favor, sn enlarged the two promoters in the public eye that the title, "inventor of the steamboat," became attached to Fulton in the minds of uninformed, ane through that has persisted nntil to-day. Pinchot and Ballinger President Tift has assured Forest er Piuchot of tbe great regard he haa for hia labors in his department and aays hia loas would be a pnblic calamity. The President is in fall accord with the Rorwevelt policies as administered by Pincbot with re gard to Forest an! W.ter Conserva. tion, and will aid bira in carrying them out to the limit of tbe law Congress also will be asked to pass some enabling acta. The west ia in hearty sympathy with the Forester and his efforts will meet with power ful tupport there. Everywhere be goes he reoeives an ovation and his name Is, becoming a national synon- yni for tbe peoples rights as against Und and. water power grabbers. We felt all. along that Mr. Pinchot was on aolid ground in the position he took and events have shown thai ""'J ne '""J vinoicaieu but also has gained largely in the esteem of tbe great publio and is sua twined by the President. Western papers condemn the acts of Secretary Ballinger and s as tain tbe position taken by Pincbot. The only persons who will benefit by the aotion of the Secretary are those whose business it is to bnild op great power trusts which will greatly oppress tbe peo ple, while the position taken by Mr, Pinchot wilt tend to conserve public rights and penult the people to enjoy the blessings which nature has de vised for their happiness and pros perity.

Amendment No. 7 ' Some city papers are making an effort to defeat proposed oonstltu tional amendment number seven, because if adopted it will give tbe legislature an opportunity to pro vide for the appointment of election officers In cities. In the country and smaller municipalities they will be elected as a sua). It Is claimed that thia appointing power may Li B'aoed In the hands of some one who will appoint oorropt men to tbe position. If the allegations of fraud and ourrnption in tbe last municipal primary in Philadelphia are half true the election officials could not be worse ballot theivers no matter how selected. Fraud ia asserted yet every efort Is made, end so far with success, to keep tbe ballot bisea sealed. If there waa no fraud why riot open the boxes and disprove the charges and let the nominees go In to the canvas with clean records. It is euoh management which h wrought havoc with majorities in both parties in places which have been impregnable. The people are becoming more independent and de cidedly more interested In looking after their political affaire and if they will go oat to the polls snd vote tbey can keep party machinery in the bands of faithful officials. If tbey are too Indifferent to do this no will protect them from evil doers, who are ready to do crooked work for the sake of gain or political preferment. And in cities especially this applies equally to sell out demo crats and trading republicans.
