ABUSE OF THE FRANKING
PRIVILEGE.
(Austin American)
The abuse of the franking privilege
; by means of which the Government is
required to bear the expense of trans-
1 mission of tons of printed political
matter through the mails is an evil
worthy of the attention of legislative
reformers. The enormous extent to
which this method of defrauding the
Government of postal charges has
grown in recent years .is illustrated
in the foUowlng from the Brown-
wood Bulletin
Hobson permitted the prohibi-
tion organization to have consid-
erably more than a million copies
of his prohibition speeches
printed and then gave permission
for the organization to mail the
speeches all over the United
States under his frank. The pro-
hibition cause Is a good one but
its use or a Congressman's frank
is just as wrong as is the abuse
of the franking privilege by an
organization for promoting evil.
Congressmen should not permit
any person or any organization
to mail any kind of matter under
their franks.
In Washington there are head-
quarters for dozens of organiza-
tions which have representatives
in the Caplx)l all the time. When
a Congressman delivers a speech
which is considered good cam-
paign "thunder" for any of these
organizations a representative
approaches the Congressman and
asks permission to have a few
thousand copies of the speech
printed. The Congressman feels
flattered and gives an order to
the Government printing house.
While under the influence of this
flattery he also gives a permit
to mail the several thousand
copies of his speech under his
frank. The organization gets the
speeches printed at the Govern-
ment printing house as cheaply as
the work could be done anywhere
and malls the literature postage
free. There is where the abuse of
the franking privilege comes.
Not only is the franking privilege
abused as shown by the Bulletin but
also by members of Congress many
of whom no longer pretend to confine
the use of their franks to strictly
business to which the law attempts to
limit it.
The salaries of members of Con-
eress were recently Increased suf-
rtMantlv in nhlf fhem to iinv for
their postage stamps instead of de-
frauding the Government of the pet-
ty sum Involved. It is Just as well
to bear in rain that the man who
abuses the franking privileges for
petty profit is likely to abuse other
.privileges for greater profit.
ON SITTING STILL.
The exposure of. the -wholesale Ger-
man bomb plots In the United States
has caused a feeling of indignation
among the American people. But
while we are properly horrified at the
daring of the German agents if in
deed they be German agents it
aeems to be the duty of every loyalj
American to keep his mouth shut and
allow the proper Federal departments
to handle the situation. Brownwood
Bulletin.
It is always the duty of the private
citizen to sit still and wait until he
is called on before taking up arms
acalnst the foe. The men at the
hea(j 0f the government are in posl-
tion to know what to do and if the
assistance of .the voter is needed he
' win be called on. The time for 'the
voter to act is when he casts his bal-
lot He Is supposed to vote for men
. whom he
can trust. Abilene Re-
porter.
Gambling;
A paper n a nearby town made
mention of the -betting that was stak-
ing place. There is a law in Texas
against betting. What manner of of-
ficer must a county have that per-
mits betting to become so frequent
as to be written up by the local pa-
per. Comanche Chief-Exponent.
A Glaring Mistake.
The Brownwood Bulletin carries a
column called "The Parson.'
The writer of that column has -passed
some good hints to the public on
the Mother Tongue.
He says so himself.
He likes to gloat over the fact and
Rppms to think that a veil of correct
I English shrouds his body.
Perhaps that is true but The Par-
son is addicted to the sin of the cow-
ard. I Some writers insist oh calling a
spade a club.
Some writers insist on calling a
lady a woman.
State Press says he dunno.
But one writer who calls himself
"The Parson" Is addicted to the
shameful sin of letting "Exchange"
and "Selected" daddy his original ar-
ticles. Parson call a spade a spade and
a lady a lady and dust your diction'
ary. Sweetwater Journal.
Our friend of the Sweetwater Jour
nal is mistaken. He is badly mis
taken both as to the use of the word
i "lady" and his knowledge of the Par-
( son. Call a woman a lady if you
will: call a spade a club: call a
Frenchman a German If Indeed you
must; but don't for goodness sake
don't call the Parson a coward. The
Parson' says whatever he pleases in
his own column once each week. Ev-
i erybody knows what he means when
I he says anything and everybody
i knows who he is. Sometimes the
Parson is mentioned in this column;
sometimes this column disagrees with
j the Parson's column ; sometimes in
fact hostilities are threatened because
this column throws a brick at Teddy
Roosevelt or criticises the Kngusn
military policy. Such things are never
found in' the Parson's column be-
cause the Parson Is the original Bull
Mooser and an Englishman. If the
Parson lets "Exchange Column" "dad-
dy" his articles it Is not his fault.
But he is training a bull pup that
will throw the balance of power in
his favor within a few months and
then business will pick up.
Why Yon Should Use Caamberlala's
Cough Remedy.
Because it has an established repu-
tation won by Its good works.
Because it is most esteemed by those
who have used it for many years as
occasion required and are best ac-
quainted with its good qualities.
Because It. loosens and relieves a
cold and aids nature in restoring the
system to a healthy condition.
Because it does not contain opium
or any other narcotic'
Because it is within the reach of all.
It only costs a quarter. Obtainable
everywhere. Adv.
