bers of his cabinet who have talked
privately with him. he is hunting Win
considerable anxiety for new sec
retary of the interior Secretary
Hitchock's days are numbered and
the number thereof depends either on
his own alacrity in offering his resig-
nation or the presidents ability to
find the right man for his successor.
1t is said the president is now looking
to the Pacific coast for his new secre-
tary OF the interior.
Mr.. Hitchcock case is peculiar
one He is esteemed very highly by
the president and by all his associates
as a gentleman and friend, but he is
unfortunate in his administration OF
the Office which he holds. He is so
cautious and suspicious that he can.
not accomplish anything. He is con-
stantly afraid someone is putting up
a job on him. and the result is that
public business languishes for lack
Of strong character to remove the
obstacles, fancied or real. and go
ahead
The president is very reluctant to
ask for the resignation of Mr.. Hitch
cock, but members Of the cabinet say
he will do so very soon unless that
gentleman takes the hint and resigns.
Alreac,.:' enough hints have been
given M Hitchcock to lead to the
prompt resignation Of any ordinary
man. but Mr.. Hitchcock is so con
stitutad that he cannot see what
everyone else has seen for long
time He thinks the gossip about his
removal is the work of his enemies.
and that the president will stand BY
him to the end He will soon eXpe-
rience a rude awakening.

The proposed post check is nothing
more than an ordinary government

formation quickly into a veritable
check. By affixing stamp and writ

and address of this payee this note
becomes a money order. payable ONLY

the post check for the present form
obvlates the necessity of a special
journey to the postoffice on the part
OF the sender.

MS Initials. and the transaction is
complete at his end of the line. The

fraud and theft. Until so used The
note circulates as at present as mon

NO SYMPATHY FOR
OFFICER MURRAY.
Rev. Crispin Says Police Are
Sometimes Law VioIators.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
Says Mr.. Paul e. Werner, Support
the Police" and so say all good citi-
zens. And If the papers correctly re-
port the riotous conduct of Saturday
night, we have no desire to condOne
that conduct. When in the lawful
discharge Of a lawful duty police
man should not be impeded but should
be supported by all citizens. But /
fear there is SO much chicanery on the
part of some policemen that the mass
es are losing faith in the constabulary.
1t Is often said to be no uncommon
thing in New York City for police
man to retire with from $4,000 to
100000 which he has taken as hush
money or blackmail from saloonkeep-
ers, bawdy-house keepers and gamb-
lers; and these reports are so common
in our larger cities that the faith of
many people in the constabulary is be-
ing undermined and it is hard for such
to respect their calling. This of course
applies mainly to our larger munich
palities. But / am wondering If Mr..
Werner realizes that right here in
Akron, policeman sometimes thinks
he Is the whole thing" and himself
becomes law violator in order to pro-
tect law violators? And should not
officers be held strictly to the observ-
ance of law as much as private citi-
zens? And does not Mr.. Werner know
that this same Eugene Murray un-
lawfully and cruelty arrested preach
er for no other offense than that he
was preaching against saloons and
against the authorities which uphold
these things? And all should know
that this was the third time this
preachers meetings had been broken
up or attempted to be broken up, by
anu at "a tiliC,
too, when policemen were permitting
; saloons, gambling houses and houses
of prostitution to fagrantly violate
law, day after day, and week after
week! And do not the people know
that in spite of the fact that this
preacher was armed with a permit
from Mayor Doyle ION all these occa
sions, to hold his meetings where he
;, did hold them, and on this last occa
sion his permit specified the identical
place from which he was brutally
y. dragged, and also that he offered the
permit to the officer who utterly ig,
nored 1t and proceeded with the as
saut on the preacher? And also that
:. said preacher had a verbal permit from
the leading members of the firm In
front of whose establishment he was
speaking?
