EDITOR NAmoxAL TRIBUNE: As an
old soldier and subscriber to The National

to us, I take the liberty to write you on
the matter of the treatment old soldiers
are receiving iIii the appointment of car
riers on the Rural Mail routes through
out the country, since they have been
placed under tho classified service. As a
case in point two routes were to be es-
tablshed out Of tids place, one Of which
l promoted, and the other, Comrade Ly-
man Elwood. When examination day
came. COmrade, John French, Comrade
Elwood, and Myself appeared for ex-
animation. Fohr young men also came
in for examination. passed PAN points
out of possible 25. What the other two
comrades passed do not know, but we
were all three turned down by the Board
of Examiners at Washington, and the
routes given to the young men. The local
OF District Inspector told several persons
that my examination was complete. Now,
is this the fair treatment promised by our
present President when the carriers were
placed under Civil Service? or is the
Board Of Examiners paying no attention
to his Instructions as to the age limit?
Don't you think it would be well to warn
the old soldier through your paper, not to
try for these places, as in doing so they
only waste timer The fact is, l suppose
we are all too old for anything but to vote
to keep these fellows in their places in

THE WAYS We ARE TRAVELLING.

Instead Of billlon.dolIar Congresses
which alarmed the people few years
ago, we now have billion dollar ses-
sions. They came, first, as means of
justifying the protection policy, which
disregards the plan of limiting taxa,

secondly, as a result of the greedy
grabbing upon which the reputation
and success of the public man has
really come to depend. Who can con-
