Postmaster General Payne Got Impu-
terday-Machen Disobeyed Orders.

Washington, May 22.-Henry y. Cas-
tie, auditor for the postoffice depart
ment,a and Comptroller Tracewell, Of the
treasury, had an interview with Post
master General Payne today regarding
the postoffice investigation. Mr.. Trace
we'll submitted his answer to the post
master generals recent eQues for sup
Elemental information regarding the
Tulloch charges. His answer will be
made public tomorrow.
Postmaster General Payne today de-
clined, with some warmth to say
whether the circumstances surrounding
the deficit in the free delivery service
warranted the removal of A. w. Mach
en-. the general superintendent, who was
relieved recently. Mr.. Payne said that
in his opinion the question was imper-
tinent. He was questioned by the
newspaper correspondents regarding the
discrepancy between the $40, 900 report
ed by Mr.. Machen as the deficit and
the 1927. 900 subsequently reported by
the inspectors. Mr.. Payne replied that
~ OiIlplIy O1l receipt " TIE report 1IOlH
Mr.. Machen that there was a deficit
Of $50, 900 he gave instructions that this
deficit should not be increased and
that expenditures should be curtaileG
so as to eliminate it if possible by the
end of the fiscal year, June 30th next.
Then" added the postmaster, gener-
al. L Immediately got the report that
the deficit was 1927, 600. A subordinate
official has no authority to create a de-
felt without the authority Of his supe-
rIor officer, l care not who that subor-
dinate officer ma be. If he knew On
May IL that there was a $780, 600 deficit
and that very day appointed a large
number Of carriers, which would large
ly increase the deficit. the action was
objectionable"
The postmaster general said that he
had not yet sent any communication to
Mr.. Machen.
On May 7th, by order of the posi-
master general, First Assistant Post
master General Wynne sent q perem-
tory order to General superintendent
Machen directing that no more maps
of the rural free delivery service, a
work which is paid for by the piece.
should be received or paid for untii
after July 1 and inhibiting the estah-
lishment Of any additional rural routes
prior to that date. 1t is charged that
Mr.. Machen did not obey this order.

NEW PRINCIPAL OF GOVERNMENT.

The idea hat the executive of a state
or of the nation has discretionary pow
ers in enforcing the laws he n on
the statute books is a new one. Some
of the leading fnanciers of the country
and at least one leading lawyer of the
city of New York hold that the presi-
lent ought not TO execute a law which
he does not approve. In regard to the
| suit against the Northern Securities
Company this lawyer is quoted as say
ing:
Il think the report that the finan-
ciers are giving the country an object
lesson is fully su~bstantIated. 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that those men van to
see the country fairly awakened to the
far-reaching effect of the merger de-
cision. if the administration persists in
its present policy. The interests of men
very close to the administration are
bound to be affected by a general col
lapse of railroad values. A great many
prominent men today sent kilograms to
members of the cabinet, urging the ad-
ministration to deSISt from any further
attack at the present time. They nave
| been asked to intercede with the presi-
dent to prevent financial disaster to the
country in the midst of the great pros
| perity. These kilograms beg the presI-
dent to let we'll enough alone"
This position is based on the theory
| that the enforcement by the president
of any law of the nation is to be looked
upon in the same light as the conduct
of the political policy Of the administra-
| ton. No doubt presidents have often
been governed by party policy in the
enforcement of certain laws, but this
| is the first time we have ever heard it
| openly advocated as a principal Of gov
| eminent that they should exercise their
| personal pleasure in determining
| whether a law should be enforced or
not, just as they approved of or were
opposed to such law.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach. thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices Of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh Of the Stomach.
