THE CALDWELL NEWS-CHRONICtÉ, CALDWELL, TEXAS* NOVEMBER 13, 1903.
ftewt mb HHewe from Washington
2Jtt Cbailc0 a. Edward*.
The Kuonevclt adiiiiuiutiutiou Í
lias become vociferously noto-1
nous for the gigantic and un-
lieard-oi frauds that have been
perpetrated nince its advent to
power, and «Imo for the slight
etfiirtH made to expose them
and punish the offenders. A
tew of the smaller fry in the
pi is t office scandal have been in-
dicted and few have been tried,
but not convicted, as the evi-
dence adduced by the govern-
ment attorneys was n<it nuffi-
cient to convince a jury of their
yuilt. The delay in investiga-
ting thene scandals has been a
boon to most of the greater
offender*, lor that convenient
law. the statute of limitations,
has run its course and the time
lia expired in which they could,
be indicted. That the statute of
limitations covers a number of
these questions is denied bv
eminent lawyers, btit the re-
publican attorney general has
decided that it doe*, and there
is no way of bringing the cul-j
prits to trial, if the law officer
of the government refuses to!
act. A* hitherto mentioned inj
tbis correspondence, one o( the
principal participants in the
lemencv of this accomodating:
statute is Representative Lit-
tauer, who. President Koonevelt
tie- ribed .is his personal friend
and closest political advinor.
l.atawer w.is , harmed with slur'
iri|¿ in tile profits of a large
army glo\c contract, and that
hi had used his | o«ition as a
member of congress to obtain
the contra t. not withstanding
the proviKiou ot the law that no
ofhcial should l e interested in
any such deal. When referred
to the republican attorney «en-
era!. be promptly decided that
Littauer could not bi prosecu-
ted, as the statute ot ¡imitations
had run its course, so the
"closet political advisor'" of the
president C HC il ped the humilia-
tion of a tria! and possible con-
viction. Fraud and graft is
Kctting mighty close to the
White House when the statute
of limitations has to be pleaded
for the "personal friend ot the
present occupant.
I he po~ t office frauds are
not the onlv ones that are vann-
ing sleepless nights and bad
half-hours to many political
patriots. Kvidence is accumula-
11 rifc; that huye land frauds
amounting in \alue to *10,0011,1100
have been «lisco ei'd and that
mv I'nited State- senators,
several representatives and num-
erous government officials are
mentioned in connection with
the frauds, though Secretary
Hitchcock, of the interior de-
partment, is continuously enter-
nig strenuous denials. The
frauds in connection with the
Indian lands now being investi-
gated. has only just begun, and
rumors of other departments
are filling the air at Washing-
ton. This delay in exposing
what has already been dis-
covered may, as in the post
office scandal, be made for the
purpose of allowing the statute
of limitations to get in its work
and permit other republican
patriots, to escape the toils of
the law.

A little thing that is causing
much comment here is the at-
tempt of the president, through
his secretary, Loeb, to ape the
airs of the foreign courts, lit-
is having his While House
messenger clothed in uniform,
and the report is that the ushers
and doorkeepers at the execu-
tive offices will be the next to
don the uniform prescribed by
Secretary Loeb, with the tacit
approval of President Roosevelt.
A they outrank the messenger,
the unifnrm i to be cut in more
fashionable style, and the other
officials of the White House are
to be more brilliantly attired so
that the social function will
match the (¿orgeousness of any
foreign court. Tin White
House will be made to blaze
with all the glory and frippery
and tinsel and gaudy display of
Kuropean effete monarchies.
These be republican times
surely, and the people foot the
bill.

The death of Mr. 1. N.
Barrick, owner of the Kansas
City Packer, which occurred a
short time ago at Kxcelaior
Springs, Mo., will be sad news
to many in Texas, who have
profited largely from Mr. Bar-
rick's interest in and work for
tbis section. Mr. Uarrick was
the manager of the excursion of
commission men which came
down the Santa Fe last spring,
and which has been productive
of great results for many coun-
ties along the line, and many in
this county will regret to learn
of his death.
His death occurred very sud-
denly as be was standing talk-
ing to his daughters' rheumatism
of the heart being the cause.
It is not known whether his
death will interfere with the big
excursion planned for next Janu-
ary or not, but Roy K. Lane, of
Kansas City, writes that it is
likely that unless some one is
found who will take the interest
in Texas that Mr. Barrick did
the excursion will be called off.

"Can you tell me what sort of
weather to expect next month?"
wrote a subscriber to {he editor
of a country paper, and the edi-
tor replied as follows: "It is my
belief that the weather next
month will be yery much like
your subscription." The in-
quirer wondered for an hour
what tbe editor was driving at,
when he happened to think of
the word unsettled. He sent in
the required amount the next
day.

A story is told of some visitors
who were ifin^- through the
state penitentiary at Canon Citv
several years ago under the es-
cort of the chief warden. After
a little w hile they came to a room
in which three women were sew-
inn- "Dear me," one of the visi-
tors whispered, "what vicious-
¡looking creatures' Pray, what
are they here for!" "Because
they have no other home. This
is our sitting room and they are
my wife and two daughters,"
blandly responded the warden.
