ITO Jefferson the doctrine of free speech and freedom of opinion applied to everything, because he rightly ur;- derstood that no censorship Of opinion could be permitted that would not Da more dangerous to truth than to error, for those who are conscious of inc righteousness of their cause are no, so apt to invoke force in defense Of their opinions as those who are con scious of error, and who, recognizinS their inability to defend their views. fall back upon coercion. Jefferson rec ognized that the Christian religion rested upon love and that love is the very antithesis of violence and brute force. It is well to remember that the Declaration of Independence itself rests upon the same foundation which supports our religion of love, and those who deny the doctrine of human brotherhood are not apt to respect the creed of inalienable rights and natural equality embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the constitution of the United States.
 Jefferson was the greatest states man known to history. He believed in the rights of the people, and had a heart large enough to take in all hu- man kind He hated tyranny wherever it manifested itself in religious or sec ular affairs. and applied his doctrines | to all questions.

About 40 guests were pres ent- H. B. Mcfarland president or the district commissioners, presided. and Thomas Nelson Page acted as toastmaster. The dinner was not of . political character. Senator Hoar re- sponded to the toast, Author of the Declaration of Independence.
 If we want Q sure proof of Thomas Jefferson's greatness it will be found in the fact that men of every variet;; of political opinion, however far asua- der, find confirmation of their doctrine in him. Every party in this country today recognizes Jefferson as its patr1 saint. Every political sect finds is po- litical doctrine in Jefferson almost aa every religious sect finds it's doctrines in the sayings of the Savior of man. kind.''

l inaugurated the inveStiga ton with the determination that it should be exhaustive. It is proper for me to add that I laid before the president the information which I had in my posses sion and that he fully approved of the action proposed by me-
 The whole administrat ton of the post office department is made subject to the investigation under the postmaster generals direction, and every division will be prodded thoroughly and the inquiry will be made as thorough as the departments most expert inspect OrS can make it.
 At the same time MT. Payne's pur- pose is to give fair and just treatment to all concerned, and not to act arbi- trarily and with undue haste. For that reason it can be stated that no inn mediate changes of importance in the personnel Of the service are now con- templatedt and congress will depend largely on the report to be made by Brfstow on the investigation, although developments, meantime may necessi- tate some deviation from this policy.
 The office of the assistant attorney general foc the postoffice department is among the bureaus included in the general inquiry and until investigation of affairs generally is completed it is probable that no successor to Assistant Attorney General Tyner will be named It is learned that it will be several weeks before the postof1ice inspectors will be able to complete their work

HOW ALICE DID IT. Learned 70 Follow Instructions.

T puzzled Mother nightly one morning after a rsturn from visiting some friends. She had suffered terri bly from sleeplessness caused by cof- fee drinking, and of course general ner- vousness and stomach trouble followed.
 Some one told her to quit coffee and use Postum Food Coffee. bur the first morning it was served to her it was so insipid, and weak that she gave it up and went to drinking hst water for she did not care for tea or cocoa.
 About this time 1 went visiting, and during the conversation in reply to an inquiry about Mothers health l told of her sleepless nights and general con- dition, and of the failure of the nev' drink that We tried.
 T observed that my friend looked rather knowing and wise at this state ment, but thought nothing more of it at the time.
 i Tn the morning at breakfast l was served with most delicious cup of coffee which ] drank with great pleas ure, but I noticed my hostess watching me carefully. finally 1 asked for a sec ond cup and sine burst out laughing and remarked So your folks don't like Postum.' I was astoaished, and said
 
 1 for the package in order to satisfy me ! it was exactly like the one Mother | h2G. Then I learned that our failure was caused from not boiling it long | enough, SC when 1 cached home I told | Mother l had found a new drink for | her and I went into the kitchen and made it from fer old package of Pos tum. She was 50 delighted with the new drink that I told her it was Pos tum, and it was amusing to see her i perpleXity. She looked at the package Alice how did you ever do it?' I said By simply following the directions She exclaimed, Why I did not know there were and directions It seems the cook had not looked at the package but just brewed it with a little hot water like she would tea, and that vii not make good Postum. It must be boiled just as the directions say, ther the flavor is delicious.
 The next day Mother was to give . little coffee party and we served Pos tum instead of coffee. The ladies were all delighted with it, and We now have
 Postums' instead of 'Coffees,' and i would astCnish anyone to hear the eX- perience of the different ladies as tC how well they feel and how soundly they sleep at night since they have adopted Postum instead of the old fashioned coffee, and particularly since they have followed directions" Nam' given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek 1 Mich
