Taggart Chides His Own Party Senator Taggart late last week chastised his party severely for squandering the public funds through pork barrel legislation, much of which went to the southern states. He minced no words in condemning the legislation of this kind that has been passed by Congress at this session. He declared his disapproval of the rivers and harbors bill, portions of the agricultural bill and the public buildings bill. "I wonder," he asked, "if each senator and each member of the house spent or appropriated money in his private affairs as he spends it in public affairs, how long it would be until we would all find ourselves in a court or bankruptcy?" Senator Taggart hits the nail on the head when he applies the whole issue personally to each member of Congress. Because men in public office do not look upon their trust as a personal one, the money of the nation is ruthlessly and wantonly spent to further the political ambitions of the members. But Senator Taggart must remember that the party which is guilty of the excesses which he charges is his party ; the men at the head of the government are the men he helped put there ; he is one of the big men controlling the Democratic party and his complaint just before the election is a serious indictment of his party's administration. The charge frequently has been made lately that the South practically controls the government. Representatives from the southern states head almost all the important committees of Congress. Jf Taggart is sincere in his charges he ought take the initiative in party gatherings and caucuses to put an effective and immediate stop to the raids that are being made on the treasury. Why does not he enlist the services of President Wilson in curing the evil ?
Information for Citizens Few citizens have definite and complete knowledge as to the government of their city. Here are some things of which they have very hazy notions: Names of the several offices and the incumbents; the functions of each office; how funds are raised to run the city; how money is spent ; the method of passing an ordinance 'in the council ; the scope of the committees of council ; the relation of the board of works to the city council; what does the mayor do; why many improvements cannot be made; why a certain routine is followed in the transaction of business. Your average voter hasn't the time to go to the city hall and laboriously acquire this information from the various heads; neither can he attend every session of the city council to learn the facts there. It would be a worth while thing for the city clerk to prepare a brief statement of these things, publish them in a form convenient for reference and send a copy to every household. The booklet should give a concise statement of the functions, powers, duties and practices of the various heads and departments of the city government. It should also give general information about the rates for utilities ; when and how garbage is collected ; how additional street lights are petitioned for. A list of the fire boxes and other data of this kind might be incorporated.
A Page Torn from Life Here's a little sketch that tells a pointed story: His clothes were very carefully pressed and brushed so that one scarcely noticed their being frayed. His hair was thin and silvering. He dropped into The Daily News office in Chicago. "To commit suicide or to commit a crime," he said, in a conversational tone. "That's the point things have reached with me. I'm an expert bookkeeper. Nine months ago I was thrown out of work." He took off his hat, exposing the graying hair. "That's the answer," he said. "Too old, they tell me. Yet I'm only 52 and pass for 45. When people tell you that there's plenty of work to be had they lie. Since last August I've tramped the streets every day. Once in a while I'd get a job for a few days. Plenty of my friends have helped me out. They would now. I could go to them and they would give me money. But what good would it be to me? Insure my food for a few days; then it would be the same old search over again. They can't get me work. And my clothes are beginning to grow shabby. Bad rec
ommendation for an office man. I can furnish $5,000 security bonds if I can get a job. I don't care what the job is. Just a job."

you that had "em all gncssin' for twenty years!" The gaunt woman had recovered Trtm the sudden shock of her husband's unexpected revelation and now towered protectingly oyer his collapsed form, her palsied hands for once steady and firm upon his shoulders. vhi!e her keen eyes glittered shrewdly at the young operative confronting them. "Look here!" she said, shortly. "If you wanted us for receiving stolen goods, you wouldn't come around here with a warrant for Wally's arrest as a suspicious character, an' you wouldn't have worked that Brunell plant. What's your lay?" "Information," responded Morrow, frankly. "The police don't know where the plate was for those ten days, and there's no immediate need that they should. Blaine cleaned up that case eventually, you know recovered the plate and caught the butler in Southampton, under the noses of the Scotland Yard men. I want to know what you can tell me about Krunell and about your nephew, Charley Pennold." Walter opened his lips, but closed them without speech, and his wife replied for him. "We're no snitchers," she said coldIv. "There's nothin' we can tell. Jimmy Brunell's run straight for near twenty years, so far as we know." "And Charley?" persisted Morrow. "It's no use, Mame." Walter Pennold repeated duly. "If I go up again it means the end for me. Charley's got

fore my time, perhaps but it's been so long since I smelled the prison taint, so long since I had a number instead of a name, that I'd die now, quick, before I'd rot in a cell!" The terrible, droning monotone ceased, and for a moment there was silence in the squalid little room. The woman's face was as impresive as Morrow's, as she waited. Only the tightening of her hands upon her

"We know all we want to about Brunei's life at present his home in the Bronx, and his little map-making shop and we're cot trying to rake
up anything from the past to hold over him now; it is only some general information I want. As to your nephew, you've got to tell me all you know about him, or it's all up with you. Blaine won't give you away, if you'll answer my questions frankly and make a clean breast of it, and this is your only chance." Pennold licked his dry lips. "What do you want to know?" he asked, at last. "When did Jimmy Brunell turn his last trick?" (To be Continued)

"Thank you for coming." he said. "You look tired, and I don't like that. It's rather late for afternoon tea, but all the same you and I are going across the street to that neat little restaurant and get some. I shan't listen to any protests from your New England conscience, so come peaceably, unless you want me to be disagreeable. Heedless of her feeble remonstrances he guided her toward the restaurant. When they were seated at a small white table he drew a sigh of relief. "There!" he exclaimed triumphantly, "I've been plotting this for twentyfour hours, and I'm proud of my success in accomplishing my purpose." "Do you always get what you want?" the girl asked later with a smile, as they sipped their tea.
"No,". he answered seriously. "If I did I would make you stop work, and would send you away to a big farm my uncle has up in Connecticut, and you should live out in the autumn fields twelve hours a day and sleep the other twelve. You don't look a bit well, Miss Marvin. What's the matter? Is anything worrying you?" "Nothing more than usual," she answered, with affected lightness. Eut he detected the reserve in her tone, and looked at her keenly before speaking again. "I don't want to intrude," he said at last, "but if there's anything that I could do to help you, you aren't playing fair if you don't let me know. Perhaps you are tired of hearing me make that statement, but I mean it." "There's really nothing unusual the matter." Julia insisted, "except that
