MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.

For supplying money order forms for four
years from September a. 1903, the bid of
Paul Herman was Si4 94S less than that of
the Wynkoop Hallenbeck Crawford Com
pany. James T. Metcalf. superintendent of
the money order system. asked Herman to
withdraw his bid so that the Hallenbeck
company, where his son was employed,
would get the contract. He assured Her
man that if he did so he would have him
reinstated in the position he formerly held
with that company. Metcalf knew that
such withdrawal would cost the depart
meut about $4,000 For this action of
Metcalfs the Postmaster General summa-
rily removed him from Office.
Mailing of books.-In 1899. upon Metcalfs
recommendation, The Wynkoop HaIlenbeck
Crawford Company was given the contract
10 ship the money order books to post
masters. for which IL was to receive BIZ
cents per book. Afterwards, upon Metcalfs
recommendation. the price was increased to
AZ cents.
1t was further discovered by the investi-
CATION that Metcalfs son, who is employed
by the company, was receiving / 1-6 cents
per book for all of the books shipped by
the company under this arrangement.
From December. 1899. to May, 1903 he was
paid SN,'iI.lI in addition 10 his legitimate
salary.
Inferior paper used.-The investigation
shows that inferior paper was being used
In the printing Of the forms. and that Met
calf knew this fact, but made no effort TO
require the company to adhere to the speci-
EvHttOns in respect to paper.
Metcalf made other unjustifiable and
reckless changes in dealing with the Wyn-
koop Halleubeck Crawford Company which
resulted in loss TO the department of nearly
$4,000.
Combination of printers.-lt appears from
the correspondence between ]. r. Metcalf
and j. Horace Mcfarland that Metcalf
was party To combination OF the four
principal bidders for the purpose of raising
the price of money order supplies at the
last letting. When the bids We're opened II
was discovered that the prices of printing

knowledge of this combination was brought
to the attention of the Postmaster General
he refused to approve the awards. and or
dered new letting. The result was that the
combination went to pieces. and the de-
partment saved SOL l24. rs on the contract.
On October ). 1903. ]. T. Metcalf n. r.
Metcalf and II. G. Hallenbeck Were indicted
by the federal grand jury of the District of
Columbia for conspiracy Ia defraud the
government.

Brandt Automatic Cashier
Prior to 1898 largeEsized post offices, for
convenience in enabling clerks to make
change rapidly. were furnished with "coin
trays" the prices of which ranged from
IS to $12. depending upon the size and
construction.
During the summer Of 1898 number of
the fraudulent automatic cashiers were
placed in different post offices for the mr.
pose Of testing it's desirability as a change
making device, and the postmasters were
requested to report on their desirability.
At that time Winfield 8. strawn of Canton,
Ohio. was the Superintendent of agencies
and George F. Miller. also Of Canton, was
the Washington agent.
Judge George e. Baldwin of Canton.
Ohio, father-in-law of Miller. the Wash
ington agent was active in his EFFORTS IN
secure the introduction of the machine by
the department. The methods employed to
accomplish this result are clearly set forth
by the correspondence between Brandt,
president of the company, and Strawn and
Miller, his agents. On February 90 1899.
Miller wrote Brandt, stating:
It am satisfied that we have the assur-
ance and friendship of both parties-Gen.
Heath and Mr.. Beayers-and all that is nec-
essary is to cultivate that friendship, II
not by kind words, by dollars and cents
and ! think the latter will be the most
positive; however. the lines we have out
now will result in a change OF program,
which means our ultimate success.
Six weeks later Strawn wrote Brandt
from New York that Miller had left that
day for Washington. having succeeded IN
a plan to effectively reach Mr.. Beavers
through a Brooklyn congressman"
On April g. after q conference with Bald
win, his father-in-law. In Canton. Ohio.
Miller wrote Strawn as follows:

that had a chance. l would challenge says. Meantime. we suspect, Sii Thomas tea business is not suffering on account of the advertising of the name of Lipton.
 But something practical may come from Sir Thomas Lipton's admission that tEe present racing yacht must give way for a yacht more instructive and useful. In the same number of the Cosmopolitan, MT. John Brisben Walk CT, the editor of the magazine, an nounces that he will offer q $5,O00 cup for new-typc sailing vessels. This cup is to be an international trophy and it is to be sailed for by ships of all nations. A length of three hundred and fifty feet water-line is fixed upon as the minimum of the size which promises most for commerce and the main points of excellence required in the contesting ships will relate to three qualities-carrying capacity. economy of equipment, and economy of time of voyage.
 Here, decidedly. is an opening for ocean racing which will amount to something. Some years sSo, when automobiles had net reached the dig r2ity of serious experiment. Mir. Walker arranged an exhibition of models, fix ing the date q year ahead and offering substantial prizes. His initiative thus gave great impetus to automobile construction and sharply stimulated invention. and it is possible that he can do as much for the sailing com merce on the seas.

A Point in Grammar.

Here is q terse and timely disquisition on the words q" and Me" by two New York papers. Says the New York Press:
 ''The frequent misuse of the pro- nouns T and Me is not confined to the ignorant alone. People of educa- tion, graduates of universities who boast of their culture, are often as badly tangled up as the aged darky who. trying to teach his children the Bible from memory. came to the pas sage where Christ says, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. This is the way he delivered 1t: Brace up, boys its me; don't git skeered.' There was once q rapping at cabin door in the woods. Who's therc?' cried the inmate. reaching for his gun, and a voice called back, It is L. Who in blazes is I?' I don't know you. It's ME; let mo in' Oh, Certainly; come right in and quit your foolin.'
 Tt is the combination of the two pronouns that causes all the trouble, and the only sure cure is to separate them. I heard a very clever woman say. Charlotte invited Henry and I to dinner She never could have said,

q Right Han in Office.

In tEcse parlous times of lcnt and official graftinE in the postal depart mcnt Of the nation it is refreshing to find evidence that all the staff are not tarred with the same stick of suspi- cion and criminal accusation.
 First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne has just repeated the proof that he. al least, will not stand for any imposition upon the department and the people. In the matter of the postal order supplies. which are fur niShed by contractors. he promptly re- iected the first bids because his knowl edge of the printing business con- vinced him that the figures demanded were cxorbiant. The contract is for four years and the total amount is large. The second bidding brought the figures down to q reasonable level and General Wynne has closed q contract that saves the government $51, ,000 over the first bids and S9,000 from the pIe viOus contract, making a net saving of S60. .000 for the people.
 Throughout all the postal troubles this official, standing next to the de- partment chief. has stood rcsOlutely for full investigation and publicity He has refused to consider that public business should be done less carefully and honestly than private business. His motto has been that he serves his party best who serves his country best" and with conviction be has in sisted that those who have abused their offices and made personal merch- andise of the public business shall be driven from the place and punished as common raSCals.
 It is to the honor of the newspaper profession that General Wynne was chosen from it to his present station. He is q good cXamplc of the fair and

One such person asked q school teacher: Is you and T. or you and me- the correct expression? ?' The teacher replied that either was correct if used in it's proper sense. That was the right answer.

politics Tho weak, colorless person.
unsought both at home and abroad
has as many personalities as he has
acquaintances, each plays upon him
a tune and there are many melodies
and many discords, but no two just
alike.
lie who has the strongest personal
lty is always the same, there is uni
rormity in his manner because there
is uniformity in his thought and in
his convictions; he Is consistent.
The man who goes through life
listening for the cue which Is to de.
temine his action has no force, no
personality. He never thinks twice
alike. for he has no thoughts OF his
own: he never acts twice alike, be.
cause he is what everyone else makes
him. No one can possess personality
without having thought things out for
himself and having arrived at concm-
sions of his own.
TO be recognized as a factor in this
world one must have personality.
Men who are heard from are either
somebody" or nobody" 1t depends
upon the "knd" of personality wheth.

The right kind of personality can be

There are those so narrow-minded
that they will laugh at one who at.
tempts to cultivate in himself even a
gcnteel bearing or generous spirit,
insisting that ne is as the Lord made
him and that to make himself over Is
to deceive.
