lowances were greater than needed
and they were discontinued.
These discoveries were probably
made by some subel dinate clerk
that did not know any more about
the conditions surrounding the diff
ferent postoffices in the different
states than pig knows about the
scales on a piano. Any one who
has any knowledge whatever about
the different conditions in different
towns knows that an allowance for
rent for an Office paying 5000 in
one town would be entirely insult
cient for one paying the same
amount in a different town. In.
stead of too much being allowed by
the government for rent and clerk
hire in the various Offices, and es-
pecially the fourth class offices,
there is not one in a hundred that
receives as much as it ought to get.
There are more fool "regula.
tions" and official red tape sur
rounding the governmental depart
ments in Washington than is pos
sible for the uninitiated to imagine
or conceive. No congressman ever
went to any of these departments to
secure anything for his constituents
but he was met by some seven by
nine clerk who showed some lido
tic ''regulation' under his nose and
who told him the thing was impos-
sible and before the congressman
could 60 any further he would be
compelled to squeloh the clerk and
burst the "regulation" and if the
congressman was any good he pro-
ceeded to do it. If President
Roosevelt would call an extra ses-
sion of congress for the sole pur-
pose of wiping' out two-thirds of
the department "regulations'' and
official red tape he would confer a
favor on the country and it would
be money well spent.
The cabinet officers, heads of the
different departments and govern
ment clerks have become imbued
with the idea that they are the gov
eminent and that senators and men,
bers of congress are subordinate to
them. The citizens of this great
republic elect senator's and con-
gressmen to legislate for them and
to look after their interests and it. is
their duty to do it.

This is an important move and ought

about the matter. He said Canavan
and Bone are such close friends that
he would like to have them on the

Connecticut Team Has an
Easy Time at the Open
ing Interesting Notes on
All Games.

The Consolidated team, under the
management of Charles Brennan and
James Thompson and the captaincy OF
fred Lallier, opened the season here
Saturday on the Driving park before
small crowd and easily defeated the
local Y. NJ G. A. team by the score or
"a to 2 Dan Cook, the old Yale pitch-
er, was on the slab for the Consoli-
dateds and Mike Slavin was behind the,
bat The Y. III. @. A team was fairly
strong one and had the pitcher been
given better support the score might
have been different. OF course the
Consolidated team could not have been
beaten, for there is scarcely an anna
teur team in this state that can COM
pete with this team as it is made up
at the present time. Cook took things
easy and twirled fast or slow just as
1t happened to strike him. There is
no doubt but that he intended to shut
the Y M. G. A. team out, but the swift
straight ball he sent over the plate in
the seventh inning just suited Johnson
and he sent it out to left field like a
shot and two runners who were on
bases crossed the plate. The Console
dated team played like professionals
and batted the ball hard and often.
The team as it Is made mp could give
several of the Connecticut teams a
good run for their money, and it is
good betting Hartford Meriden, New
London, New Haven or Bridgeport
would go down to defeat in series
of games. The score:
