An we have already said, (here are' two qilOf?tiomi to be settled before thej hill should ho favor. tidy repotted. 1 which are: Is It a proper servie tor ! I ho (iovcrnumut to engage, hi, and if! so, Is It expedient? Jtoth Ihese ques- j lions are alllrinttli vely ami, d seems to lis, conclusively answered in the com- ; mission', s analysis otMthe project. J( contends Ilia! f lovcrumciit aid is not new thing in (lu; Vi stales, and j had it not been extended at the proper ; time "millions of acres of productive ! land would now he iu a state of nature J instead of supporting a population 'of j lU.tMMHtlMi souls." i 1 collide, We ale j all familiar with the fuel that the Cov- ' eminent is a I'egnlar and liiieral sup- : porter of annual r< ?hen.cK for ihe in:- ; plow in< tit ol tiveiM ami Itarhors, Wo j likewise remember the. princely eon- I cessions and grants made to the trails- j continental railroad companie-. iu or* ? der to develop Ihe grimt West ntul we are sensible of the value and even the '? vital importance of this polley to our national prosperity ami integrity: hut j not so many of us are aware that Hov. | ernnient aid to the construction of highways was one of the earliest nets authorized hy tji<> ( iovcrnmeut for the i internal development of the counlry. ? In the commission's brief it is do* j clared that "the building of a road from tide water to the Ohh) country ! was a pet project of Washington." ; He did not live to so'> It acted upon, ; but iti 1 si i such a road was begun and seven years later it was completed at i a cost to the t 'tilted States of $7, ()<*?,- ! im>o. Km* thirty-four years subsequent to that time, it was the one great high. ! way over which passed the mails and J the bulk of the trade and travel be- I I ween the Kaal and the West, and like the ?7,0(tu,0uo paid for Alaska, the pur- j chase price was repaid to the people ? of this country many fold. That seems to at once establish the ! propriety and 1 1 1 ?> expediency of the i proposition. The -commission stalest very truly that the money appropriated j lor roads is largely wasted lor the rea- I son that the local road master does not ? know how to wisely expend It. where- | as In those States where aid has been i given under sclent Mb: direction for this ? purpose, "it has worked a revolution, '< " * * The roads built have eon- ; vlneetl Ihe most skeptical that they not I only cost le?s to maintain. I ut reduce j the <o>t. of hauling from twenty-fhej to II fly per cent." That the nation , should be repaid for expenditure of this kind in "increased prosperity, en- 1 haiiced values and a general raising of ' the moral, the religions ami the eilu- i cational tone of its people," we do not ; doubt.

With a whirlwind of pro j tt/Hf tho report was taken np by In j dlgnant members, their personal con nection with It explainod, and " epl t h ?- 1 h hurled at.

This was the parting shot cf Representative Grosvcnor, of Ohio, In paying bl-i tribute to tho report. "That document Is tho production of it liar and a scoundrel," shouted Representative HID, of Connecticut, on making an explanation of bin wm nectiou with certain leases. He add ed Hut ho should voto to Investlgato himself, and also the Fourth Assls tant Postmaster General. "There is nothing in any of it to impugn any improper motive or conduct upon any member of the House," was the ex pression of t'halrman Overetreet, of the committee who combatted the Idea of an investigation' Mr. Williams, the Democratic lead or, urgcjj an in vest Igatlon of the whole Pobtoflb e Department, and ic celvcd th\ hearty applause of both Pldos <?f (|j<4 House and the galleries which had] lllled during tho discus sion. It wuh soon found that tho two hours which had been allotted to the subject wuuxhot Koleg to bo near enough time for the personal explan ations which members were demand ing t he right to make, and a motion to extend the debate until four o'clock tomorrow was carried with vim. Mr Overt}! reet proposed a postpone ment of rlie discussion until Monday In order to give the members more time. Mr. Hay, of Virginia; Klnley, of Mouth Carolina, and Others opposed post ponement. Mr. Hepburn, Republican, of Iowa, said that any Investigation of the POHtOIIlce Department would not elicit any facts not brought out by tho committer report. "I say that an Investigation would ell- It further facts, and that these facts have been suppressed," retorted William Alden Smith, amid loud applause from the lloor rim galleries. Mr. Williams fuild he wanted the corruption In the Postofllce Depart men! to be Investigated, not by tiie friends of the men who have been guilty of corruptions but by t he House of Representatives. As to Hay resolution, Mr. Wil liams said it did not. touch the ques tion that "somebody at the Postofllce Department has somehow included in (he report the name of man after man in the House of Representatives and In tho .Senate, guilty of rut apparent TTfong, guilty of no violation of any law, KUllty of no moral obliquity, guil ty of nothing that bears even the >1 Intro of criminality." ' "W'liiU was (ho motive of 11?" lie vigorously I ii<i ii I red . "Wasn't. It to i give tho Congress itotlco that tho De part mont. held something over Con- j ?<: vhh and tlmt Congress had better i lot tho Department alone?" he Inquir ed, his words being drowned by an plan*# frotn both sides. Mr. Hay, of Virglwlu, said ho did not altogether agree with Mr. Wlllla/na. "I bellovo there ought to be an Inves tigation of tho Poatodlro Depart meiti. and ulbfig with It an Investigation of these rliArgea against members." Mr. Cooper, of Wisconsin, declared that Presblent Roosevelt had directed tho prosecution of members of his own party. Mr. Moon, of Tennessee, facing tho 1U publican said: "These thieves being yours and not ours, it Is for jou, not for us, to say if they shall have your protection." M?\ Underwood, of Alabama, said that "no mill tvho Is Innocent Is afraid to fa do such charges as tnehe. I nu?." ho Hftld, "if a man Is guilty he ought to be required to appear before the bar of the House." Mr. Ov#ihtrect then withdrew his motion U) postpone, and the House procoedeu to discuss the resolution. Mi1. Ovcrstreet, referring to tho ree ? tumeudations made by a member of ('ongresH. said "that there was in no instance any violation of any law whatever by any member of Congress In making any recommendation, eith er for Increase of clerk hire allow ancn or increase of rent of postoflb o buildings. "Tho resolution proposes an Invest I gntiou by five in embers of this body." ho said, "whereas a committee of sev enteen membejrs representing an equal number of States, of l.oth par ties in politics, which has already had before it In a proper way this Infor mation, ban unanimously reported to tho House that, there is 110 need for further Investigation." Mr. Moon, of Tennessee, insisted that, there should be avv investigation covering the 1'ostofTlco Department and everybody connected with it. "and whoever is guilty," he said, "whether In this House or In the Do partment, should be exposed. The membership of the House being ac cused." he said, "was entitled to vin dication. nr. were also the Department olllcials, if guilty of no wrong; but." ho said, "I take It that no sensible man will deny tha-t (hero Is anything else but crime running all over that Department." W. \V. Kitchln, of North Carolina sovemlv criticized Oeneral Hrlstow and ( barged Mm with having dellher* atelj suppressed Important, and ma terial facts ? "facts." he said, pound ing his desk, "which could not be overlooked, and which wore suppt ess ed, in my Judgment, for the purpose of giving a false impression to the country and misleading the public." "Hrlstow's action," ho said, "was neither courageous nor hont^. but for partisan purposes. He the country demanded an Investigation." Mr. Kltchln said. ''He undertook. Ir. my Judgment, to blackmail Congress, to silence Congress, and to silence the country. It l? a species of Intimida tion" He asked If those on the Re publican side would sit Kf 111 and h(o~p tho Investigation and thus give the backbiters an opportunity T^T' attack the character and Integrity of those whoui Brlstow had nccu?cd?
