CAPITOL CITY NOTES
Gary Will Distribute Patronage After the
Ancient Style

Ancient Style
WASHINGTON. March 20.-PostmaS-
ter-General Gary will continue the old
policy as to distributing patronage Of
the postoffices, and he announced to the
Associated Press today that he would
not deviate from the practice followed
by past administra tions. This as a gem
eral rule gives 10 every senator the
privilege of recommending postmaster
for his home postoffice. and aliotS to
each Republican senator the largest
postof1lces in his district. which, how
ever, in the case of a senator not of the
Republican faith, will go to the Repub-
lican committee or other referee. With
these exceptions the Republican repre-
sentatives are usually permitted to name
the postmasters for their respective dis
tris'ts. In Democratic districts the Sc
lection is left to a referee, or perhaps
TO Republican congressional delesa-
ton, who will have to keep themselves
posted as to the dates of expiration of
terms OF postmasters. as the old custom
or the department of sending notices
TO senators and representatives of ex-
pirations of postmasters' commissions.

THE WOOL SCHEDULE
Plans to Rush a Wool Bill to Head Off
Importers


WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Re
publican members of the ways and means
committee are making no effort to for
ward the plan which has been talked OF
among them to push through congress
a special bill to make the wool schedule
of the new tariff act operative at once.
They are dissuaGed from this by the
apparent hopefulness of being able TO
secure early action from the senate. II
is still the plan of the Republican leaders
to enact that all goods in bond at the
date when the new tariff becomes opera
tive shall pay the rates of that tariff
instead of the rates in effect when the
goods were entered. This probably will
be brought about by an amendment
added to the bill at the last practicable
moment, as the Republicans ds not de-
sire to induce the withdrawal of bonded
goods before the higher rates go into ef-
feet

ate, after the fourth of March, so

revenues for the needs of the gov

question for a moment. "Every one
must admit that the Wilson law is in
adequate. The government needs
more money, or it must curtail it's ex-
penses. This enforced retrenchment
must come unless the receipts of the
government are very perceptibly in
creased.
