POStOfflce Corruption.

Assistant Postmaster General Bris-
tow's report on frauds in the postofiice
department shows very clearly the need
of thorough overhauling of affairs in
that department to put an end to evil
practices that have crept in to the dis
credit of the service. He shows that
in the single matter of purchasing can
ceiling maahines at least three of the
eight manufacturers who offered to
deal with the department used bribery
of some form to secure the awards on
bids and make an unreasonable profit.
He also shows criminal aud wasteful
recklessness in the matter of clerk hire
in the offices of the first and second
classes. Says he:
Clerks were appointed in postoffices
where they were not needed, promo
tions were made without consulting
the pOstmasters, clerks were placed on
the rosters and paid where no service
wssrendered. In five first class Offices
postmasters have been designated as
cashiers for the sole purpose of giving
them more than they were entitled to
under the law. Forty-eight clerks in
first class postoifices have been receiv-
ing salaries from 800 to $4OO in excess
Of what they were entitled to.-Nash-
vile Banner.

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact the word dyspep-
sin means literally bad cook, it will
not be fair for many to lay the blame
on the cook if they begin the Christ
mas Dinner with little appetite and
end 1t with distress or nausea. 1t may
not be fair for any to do that-let us
hope so for the sake of the cook The
disease dyspepsia indicates bad stom-
ach, that is a weak stomach, rather
than bad cook, and for a weak stom-
ach there is nothing else equal to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives the
stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspep-
sia, creates appetite, and makes eating
the pleasure it should be.

CRADDOCK SHOWS FIGHT.
Won't Give Up Office of Mayor With
out a Contest

". II. Craddock today fled his answer
in the supreme court in the quo -wa1ranto
proceedings brought against him by 7. j.
Gilbert to Gust him from the office OF
mayor of Kansas City Kan. Ex-Chisf
Justice Doster is Mayor Craddock' chief
consul in the case.
Three main reasons are set forth in Ire
answer: The first is that Gilbert, VINO
was the Republican nominee for MAYOR IN
the recent municipal election. and who re
cefved a majority in the election, was Il
member of the city council and sat on
the canvassing board which canNassed the
returns which. it is alleged by Craddock
disqualifes him from taking the office OF
mayor; second, the new city charter aet
does not authorize the election OF a MAYOR
in cities of more than 5000 inhabitantS,
and there was no call or proclamation for
the election of mayor this, spring thlrd;
even if Gilbert was elected he neglected
10 take tho oath of office as prescribed by
law within ten days after the canvass
was made.
The three reasons are given so if one
fails it is hoped to make one OF ne q'H PSI,
bert is ineligible to take the office Grad,
dock would necessarily hold over until
his successor is elected and quallhes-
