Coming down to the heart of
the matter there Is no difference
between turning out a postmis-
tress because she was obnoxious
to a political faction and turn
ing out a non-union man be-
cause he is obnoxious to a labor
union. The two things are on all
tours. Neither the color OF ones
political hair nor the ownership
of u union label should have any
thing to do with the service of
the people in the non-political Of

THE GENUINE VS.. CoUNTERFEITs,
The genuine is always better than
a counterfeit, but the truth of this
statement is never more forcibly re
allied or more thoroughly apprecia
ted than when you compare h e
genuine Dewitt S Witch Fl c
Salve with many counterfeits and
worthless substitutes that are on the
market. W. S. Ledbettcr, of Shreve
port La, says: "After using numer
Gus other remedies without benefit
one box of DeWitt>s Witch Hazel
Salve cured me-" For bird, bleed
ing, itching and protruding piles no
remedy is equal to DeWitt's Witch
Hozel Salve. Sold by Blackburn.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Reg ular Correspondent.

The grand jury at Wash
ingtOn continues to find in
dictments against officials of
the Postoffice Department.
The latest is against W. s.
Towers, bead OF one OF the
city substations. He is accus
ed OF taking d commission on
type writer books sold by a
private company to the gov
ernment. 1t is said that he re
eeived $50 on every 5000
for each of these, and that
his fees amounted to $500.
He has been dismissed by the
Postmaster General, and is
now awaiting trial. The re-
publicans are afraid of the
political effects of the Post
Office scandals and their mem
bers in Congress are now
clamoring for a congression-
al investigation of the entire
department. They state open
ly that their purpose is to
forestalI the demOcr ats and
prevent their making a polit
ical issue out of these eviden-
ces of republican mal-admin:
istration. 1t is said that the
President wishes to- name
the. nvestigating committee,
which he hopes will be au-
thorized by Congress. The re
publicans have adopted the
same tactics with reference
to the Indian scandals, as a
committee from both House
and Senate will go to the Ter
ritory to make an official re~
port of the state of affairs.
President Roosevelt g stand
on the question OF Foreman
Miller of the Government
Printing office and on the
"open shop in Government
employment, continues to re
ceiye the attention Of poIiti.
clans and laboring men. In
spite of the caustic and eau.
tious and conservative state
ment of the executive council
OF the American Federation
of Labor, there are indica.
tions that many labor un'
ions will join issue with Mr..
Roosevelt and will show their
disapprobation at the polls.
The President held a con-
ference last Tuesday with the
labor leaders and many sub.
jects were discussed. On the
Miller question, however,
there seems to have been but
slight discussion az the Pres.
ident simply Informed t h G
leaders of his decision. In the
statement issued immedia te.
ly following the conference,
the President declared that
Miller should remain a n d
that no discrimination could
be made between union and
non-union labor in choosing
employees of the government.
He added that the law de-
manded this and that the
fact of u mans being a mem
ber of Il union could no more
be allowed to tell against
him than the fact that t he was
a Catholic or Protest ant.
Jew or Gentle, white or col
ored. The Executive Council
of the Federation of Labor
made no criticism OF the
Presidents statement. b u
the following day they issued
an add. ss to organized la
Dor of The country in which
they stated positively that
the unions would contend for
the principles ofunion shops.

in Boston on Nov. s. They
declare that il the President
is- a friend of labor and ex-
poets the laborers vote he
must make the same disrrim
lnation between union and
non union labor As he daily
makes between republics MS
and democrats. They argue
that the labor unions must
defend theirlnterests against
the government the same as
against a private employer.
The labor unions throughout
the country continue to pass
resolutions condemning the
action OF the Admihistra-
tion and they seem determin
ed that the Presidents state
ment shall not end the cons
troversy.

will have an escort of United

press of Europe sees in this

has very businesslike inten-

the Imports OF Abisinia are
from this country and every
year we sell Monelik's people
over $5, 900, 1000 worth ofcot

we get from them ivory, hides,
carpet woods and other raw
materials. This expedition is
ridiculed By some who sue-
gest that instead OF going to
Africa we should turn our at

the Miller case did not say
thatno discrimination should
be made in the ''employment
or dismissal OF men in the
Government service" because
OF their political affiliations,
he did not imply that such
discrimination should not be
made because of "social con.
ditions,' or ":crced or color, "
He admits that personal
unfitness was n matter "to
be settled in the routine Of
administrative detail" Char
lty compels US to presume
that he intends it shall be the
duty of somebody, though
not himself. to pass on EN-
pIoyes' personal fitness, and
to discharge the unfit.
This in preachnent, in prac
tice, how many appoint
ments has the President made
because of political fitness,
when the candidates we're re-
ally personally unfit?
WOULD a business cOrpol a
tion, for instance, put a man
in charge OF a position or Of
flee where he must come in
contact with the public, if
that man was personally OBJ
jpctionable and obnoxious to
the patrons of the place?
Would that fact he consider
ed in connection with his per
sonal fitness? Most certainly
Yet was that element OF per-
sonal fitness considered by
the President in his dealings
with the Indianola postmas-
tership? Or the Charleston
Custom House?
1t is hardly to be presumed
that Others could not have
been found for those posi-
tions whose personal fitness
could not be brought into
question, and who we're equal
ly as capable of looking af
ter the governments inter
ests; which ut last is suppos-
ed to be the central object in
making the appointments.
This is equally as true OF
those vacation appointments
Of persons whom the Senate
refused to confirm while in
session. Isn't such appoints
ments yiolative of the spirit
of the Constitution W h ic h
says that such appointments
should be made with the ad-
vice and consent OF the Sen
ate?
The Presidents principles
will not permit him to dis
criminate IN favor of union
men against nOn>unlOn men,
but they do not permit hlnI
to discriminate against white
democrats in favor Of negro
republicans. This may be
good politics, but it is migh-
ty hard on the principles.
There is far more reason
for discrimination between
the white man and the negro.
so far as the political prefer
ment goes. For the tree OF
our national an d political
life sprang from the seed OF
the white man. The negro as
we all know, is a hybrid, and
