Bars HE "commoncr."

The postoffice department has eX-
Guided part of the issue of William
Jennings Bryans Commoner from the
privileges of second class mail matter.
An order to this effect was issued be-
cause the department holds that, while
MIR. Bryan may not be advertising an
article, he is advertising a theory" or
doctrine" which, IT is held, makes him
equally amenable to the law as II 1t
were merchandise he was advertising
by the free distribution of copies of his
paper.
Mr.. Bryan sent circular letter to
senators and representatives, who had
not subscribed to the Commoner ex-
planning he would forward the publica-
ton to them free. This fact was re-
Gently called to the attention of the
postal authorities by publishers who
have suffered from the strict applica-
ton of the rules defining second class
mail matter Investigation by the de-
partment confirmed the report that a
portion of the issue of Mr.. Bryan's pa
per was being circulated free among
members of congress. A letter has been
sent to Mr.. Bryan by the department
notifying him he will have to stamp all
papers sent free to congressman or 9TH
ers.
1t is in this communication that the
department takes the position that,
while free copies of the Commoner may
not be distributed for the purpose of
advertising goods, the fact that Mr..
Bryan is using free distribution, 1t is
claimed for the purpose of advertising
certain doctrines" brings that portion
of the issue within the rules applicable
to second-class mail matter.-PGltimore

final scope and character of the new
department
The senate. by an unusually large
vote, amended the bill as originally
framed by Senator Knute Nelson, so as
to make it the department of com
merce and labor instead of the depart
ment of commerce and industry. How
ever, Samuel Gompers, president of the
National Federation of Labor. and 9th
er labor leaders, declare their oppo-
sition to the department being known
as the department of commerce and Ia
Dor. They say that the labor interests
of the country already are very well
looked after by the bureau of labor
which is a separate and independent
affair. not dependent for its policies or
activities upon any cabinet officer
While ii is said the present bureau does
not entirely meet their expectations,
chiefly because the labor leaders did
not select it's chief, still they fear that
II the bureau is made part of or in
any way subordinated to any executive
department it sooner or later will de-
generate into political machine, and
in the end the best interests of the la
Dor cause would suffer These COM
plants will be presented in the house
when the Nelson bills comes UP on the
body for action, and it is expected that
the house will restore the original title
of the measurable department of
commerce and Industries.
1t is thought that if this change is
not made to first draft by the houst
Carroll d. Wright, of Massachusetts,
chief of the bureau of labor. will be
strongly urged for the head of the new
department. No man prominently
identified with the public service is
held in higher esteem by the better
element of labor leaders. and he also
lis highly regarded by President Roose-
velt And it is certain that he would
prove acceptable to the great body of
the people

CABINET MAKING.

Only those who have something to
do with public affairs realize the vast
ness of our nation and it's growing ex-
pansiveness. AS 1t develops. it calls for
greater subdivision in national SUI
pervision. The fact that new depart
ment, that of commerce, Is about to be
created, calling for n new cabinet Off
Ger. shows another step in the line of
progress.
With this department added the
number of cabinet officers will be nine.
Some of the departments have been
organized as the result of evolution.
Shortly after the government was es-
tabltshed, in 1859, there were but five
portfolios, viz: War Gncluding the
navy: treasury: State Originally for
eign affairs; Justice Gas part Of the
judiciary: posteff1ce Temporary. The
latter was made a permanent depart
ment in 1894. The navy was separated
from the war department in 1898. The
interior department was created in
1s4e, and the agricultural department.
In 1887. This evolution and the one
about to take place show the growing
greatness of national interests.
II is considered In Washington al
most certainty that the bill creating
the department of commerce will pass
the house as easily as 1t passed the
senate, and that, therefore, President
Roosevelt will have to make an addi-
ton to his cabinet within Il few
months. 1t is considered not improbable,
however, that the house may amend
the bill in one of it's most important
features, and in this case thereis likely
to be hitch with the senate over the

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS.

Have you ever noticed how much you
tant personal traits with acquaintance
friends or strangers you meet upon the
highways and byways of life? Or 1t may
be personal experience with them Oh
an expression or a fad or some other
In consequential thing. One man you
Invariably associate with a pipe, an
ether with q cigaret. another with a big
lnose, or other personal defect or with
attractive characteristics. one woman
may suggest the angel, another the
devil, one with impenetrable glasses
over the windows of her soul recalls the
period some of these characteristics
were objects of terror; in later years
subjects of philosophical study. Each
character you constantly meet will sug-
gest a certain line of thought or express
sion or experience. 1t is natural and
rational sequence. you can not help 1t
1t may wrongfully influence your rela-
lions with them, it may do them gross
injustice, 1t may bar you out from asso-
citation with those whose friendship or
knowledge or wisdom is desirable and
would prove profitable. 1t is sadly true
that people permit these little tritiing
things of observation to obscure their
Judgment. to place great bars between
each other that they do not seek to re-
move. LOCKER on tells elsewhere how
a little button destroyed one mans in
fluence and business.
1t is true that many of those you
meet are unworthy of any further no.
tice than mere glance. They carry In
their faces a reflex of character and
habit 1t Is impossible for any human
being to live life of profligacy, of sin,
of crime, without disclosing IT in his
face, his eye, his general bearing. You
instinctively shrink from him If your
life is the reverse of his or your aims
nlgher. lou NATURALLY assooia'e ihH'
with all that is bad.
Yet there are others whose lives are
models either of virtue, temperance,
frugality, generosity, humanity, cheer
fulness, nobility or modesty. They may
not always be we'll clad, they may not
be aggressive or self-seeking, but you
come to know them in time by their
daily walk. by their usefulness, their
kindness of spirit, as men or women
worthy of the best salutation. The
traits they reveal win your heart and
tend to ennoble your life.

| in order to crafty the personal ambi
lions of citizen, and the political dis
appointments of few others" 1t think
that il Des Moines really wants to b,
a big city, there is no reason why i
should not be, and suggests that dis
|sensions and indinerences exist tina
| prevent good results
| The Odebolt Chronicle is of the opin-
| ion that Senator Healy's bill to repea
the tax ferret" law should never be al
lowed to pass. 1t believes the law shoult
be amended not repealed, and moraliz-
es in this way: while most of the pro-
shysters, the fact remains that they
have compelled Iowa tax dodgers to pay
hundreds of thousands of dollars into
the county treasures during the past
year. The tax ferret must be tolerated
until legislation is enacted to do away
with the necessity for his services. II
boards of supervisors would employ the
right kind of men as ferrets at a rea-
sonable compensation there would be
no just cause for complaint"
In noticing Senator Healy's bill limit
ing tax ferrets to one year, the Hamp-
ton Recorder says: LAS the tax list does
not appear until about nine months af-
ter the assessment is made. the law
would be pretty generally effective ir
doing what it is intended to do-pro-
hibit any attempt to recover any taxes
omitted by the assessor and the boarc
of equalization"

Those six column editorials in the
Des Moines Register remind the Boone
Republican Of Tennyson's brook. The
Council Bluffs Nonpareil spols the sim
lie by objecting, But Tennyson's brook
was not dry"
The Davenport Republican favors the
bill increasing the pay of judges, say
ing: Better salaries always attract
better men TO any position. and this is
particularly SO in law. Iowa judges are
certainly underpaid, and the state car
well afford to give them the right sal
aries. There should be no opposition to
the measure

| A Chicago item recording the small
receipts of grain notices the tendency
among farmers to hold their grain for
higher prices. Some of them would
like to hold it if they had any in their
bins.
| The public press of the country seems
to stand as a unit in favor of tariff con-
cessions for Cuba. The Kansas City
Star, leading exponent of southwest
ern thought. says: 1T is the plain and
unavoidable duty of the United States
| to help Cuba to the markets of this
| country. 1t is Well enough to secure re-
| ciprocal reductions from Cuba If pos
sible, but the obligations of the United
States are SO clear and urgent that they
must not depend on conditions. Give
Cuba fair deal first and then consider
the question OF admission. 1t is bad
morals and poor politics to proceed 9TH
erwise. The invitation TO become
part of the United States must not be
accompanied by niggardly quibbling
and temporary concessions that have
the appearance of bait, with an implied
warning that the bait must be taken"
