The Indianola, Miss. postotiice case
was the subject of some consideration
at the presidents cabinet meeting
last Friday. 1t was declared that the
resignation of Mrs. Minnie Cox as the
postamstar will not be accepted, ana
the question of reopening the office Is
left for further action. 1t is felt by
the administration that to accept the
resignation at this time would estap-
lish bad precedent. The papers re-
lating to several appointments was
taken up, and, it was understood that
some appointments were determlI cd
upon, but no information concerning
them was made public. The Mlssls-
sippi congressional delegation, headed
Inv Senator A. j. McLaurin, are doing
all within their power to have the
case settled at the earliest possible
date.

PRESIDENTIAL MARYLANDERS.

VI Senator German should capture
the Democratic nomination for the
Il Presidency. he would not lac the
only Marvlandcr to receive votes
fer that high office.
In the first election. when George
Washington was chosen. X. Ii. IIarri-
son, of Maryland, received six electoral
votes.
In 1896 John Henry. of Maryland. re-
crivrl two electoral votes.
In 1916 John Eager Howard of Mary
land. received twenty-five electoral votes
and Robert G. Harper. of Maryland. re-
ccived three electoral votes.
In 1920 Robert &. Harper, of Mary
land. received one electoral vote
In 1852 William Writ. of Maryland
received b. los votes in the popular
election.
In 1896 Joshua lowering. of Maryland

THE ATHLETIC CULT.

4 NYTHING that Dr. S. Weir
II Mitchell might say on college
Il a athletics or college life would
have value simply because he
said it, and his remarks on athletics in
modern college life have additional force
because everybody must recognize the
essential truth of his criticism. Let no
one underestimate the value Of athletics
as means of recreation and as Il me
thod as DR.. Mitchell says, of making
the body sound and of keeping it sound
but the excuses of athletics, the netting
the professionalism, the conversion of so
fine a game as foot ball, with its mass
plays. into an engine for the intliction of
the greatest possible amount of perman-
ent personal injury, and the eXaltation
of athletics into the aim and end of the
college existence, as the one thing need
full, receive the deftest and most effective
strokes from DR.. Mitchell, who says
ironically:
at is needless to insist on what we
missed and what, in consequence, my

the increased membership it will require

lievcd that the Democrats can get that
many outside the city.
In the case of Senator Jones. Of Mont

nominated for the GovprnorShip. he will
not resign until after the election. If ha
should be elected Governor, then he
could resign and a special election for

| In 1895, Mr. Charles c. Crothers, the

mated for Attorney General, but he did

session of 1896. 1t was Mr.. Crother>'

caused the enactment of the present cleo

Majority of the Cooks and
Walters Back in Their
Old Places.
WAGE INCREASE STILL PENDING
Proprietors Given Right to Employ
What Help They choose-Freisht
Handlers Out at Kansas City.
Negroes Take Place Of Strikers.

Chicago. June 20.-The strike Of
the walters and cooks is a thing of
the past, and the majority of the men
have returned to work
The settlement of the trouble was
reached after meeting which lasted
for the greater part of the day. 1t
was agreed that rs per cent of the
strikers shall resume their old places
at once and the remainder are to have
their positions within 10 days On
the question of absolute recognition
of the union, on which the strikers
have been SO obdurate, the agreement
provides for freedom on both sides.
The hotel and restaurant proprietors
are to have the right to employ wha.
help they choose, no matter whether
il belongs to the union or not The
employees have the right to join the
union or remain out of it, as they
choose, and there is to be no discrim-
iEation against either union or non
union men. The decision on this poin.
is substantial victory for the pro-
prietors. The question of an increase
in wages was left open for settlement
and if not arranged by July G, is to go
to a board Of arbitration. The unioa
heretofore has refused to arbitrate
anything.

Kansas City, June 20.-Seyeral
high-salaried railroad officials donnei
overalls and began trucking freight
in place of the striking freight hand
iers. Indications are that within a
few days all roads will be taking care
of freight as usual The Rock Island
is in worse shape than any of the
roads. 1t has 200 cars of freight COM
ing in daily and only few men To
handle it. Santa Fe officials say they
have full force of men, mostly me-
groes. who are doing the work of the
strikers satisfactorily Burlington of
ficials say they are handling all freigh.
with usual promptness. The Frisco
has employed negroes in the places
of the strikers. The Missouri Pacific
has full force at work and declares
that it is moving freight without delay.
