been quietly conducted for some months
past, and is still under way. being d.
rected especially against the Railway Mall
Service, which Is the most expensive
branch OF the postal service.
Half a dozen railway mail contracts are
now before the Department Of Justice for
examination as to their legality. together
with an investigation Of charges of col
lusion by Government officials some of
whom are supposed to be in Congress.
In ordering the railway mail contracts
to be examined secretly. the President
has stolen a march on members Of Com

such an Investigation on behalf of the
railroads
The report OF the Department Of Justice

take up the matter with Postmaster Cen
eral Wynne fer whatever action develop
ments may show to be necessary. Mean
while Mr.. Wynne is determined to have
every suspected spot In the department
cleaned up. An important matter that Is
now under investigation. and which has
been for some time. is the supply OF twine
for the use OF all post offices, including
the Railway Mail Service. This seeming
ly trtning matter costs the department
more than SlI0.OO year. and It has been
learned that possible saving Of from
$4,000 TO 5000 year can be made by
the substitution OF a different brand Of

TOLD TO FULFILL
THEIR CONTRACTS
Specifications for Construction OF
Additions to WOrkhouse and
Poorhouse Will Not Be
Altered.

Representatives OF two construction
companies employed in public works
called on Building Commissioner Heinz
burger yesterday and asked to have the
specifications of the contracts changed
The Commissioner refused and the Board
Of Pubic Improvements sustained him.
The construction work is the additions
to the Workhouse and the Poorhouse. and
one company, it is said. was 50 sure that
It could have the Specifications changed
that II hauled material to the workhouse,
only to have It rejected.
The Barstow Construction Company Is
building the 5000 addition to the Work
house, and the Specifications IN the con-
tract call for steel and iron construction.
The company. however, suggested that
serviceable. ff REINFORCED by steel and
iron.
Representatives went to Commissioner
Heimberger but he ruled that there must
be no change in the material used. and
wagonloads OF cement that are reported
to have been taken to the Workhouse will
have to be hauled away.
The Mcclure Constructing Company,
which has the contract for the A7. 900 ad-
dition to the Poorhouse, wanted to have
the requirements changed so that only
certain lines Of the beams be made to
carry weight, whereas the specifications
require that all shall be so constructed.
The Commissioner refused to accept any
alterations, and the Board Of Public I'm
provements again sustained him.

BINDERS
DAYS ARE OVER
So Declares Charles Boine of New
York State in Discussing Les
sons of Late Campaign.

Never before in the history Of this
country has the voting public studied the
questions at issue In a campaign and done
1t in such quiet and impressive way as
they have in the battle Of ballots Just
over" said Charles Boins defeated Demo-
cratic candidate for the Senate of New
York, at the Laclede Hotel last night
The dey Of the stump-speaker and
spellbinder is by. The long-looked-for
period in. American politics when the
voter will calmly sit down and weigh the
questions at issue in a quiet dispassionate
way Is here. The country will prosper by
II, and the conservative element, includ-
ing Americas best citizens. Sc in 1t the
continued prosperity of the Republic.
Not before in the memory of any voter
whom 1 met either in this city or in New
York State has the election been so quiet.
Only the meetings held at the halls broke
the monotony of the campaign. The peo-
PIE we're studying the problems and weigh
Ing the qualifications silently. The result
was astounding.
We fondiy looked forward to the cleo
ton Of D. Cady Herrfck in New York
State. and days before the election he was
the favorite In the betting. Here in Mis-
souri, the voters have given the public
lesson which will be remembered as long
as the Republic lasts. They elected q
Democratic Governor piling up tremen-
dous majority for him, and then voted for
the continuation Of the policy of the Re
publican party. 1t Is a lesson and will
revolutionize the systems of the country.
"A man who Is not in the confidence of
the public can no longer expect to re-
ceive its vote. The lessons of the cam
paign are many and with 1t I expect to see
the Democratic party reorganized with
other standard bearers than those which
have led to defeat
THE young voters Of the country are the
hope OF the Democratic party. and the
sooner the leaders come to realize this
arr build a platform agreeable to these
young voters. just SO soon will the old
party Of Jefferson rise to the surface
land and Bryan is no more. in my opin-

D. Foster. the Democratic candidate IN
the Twenty-third Illinois District for Con-
gress, was defeated by his Republican op-
ponent. Frank L. Dickson. Dickson's ma

renee. 27; Marion, 531.
The personality and the effective cam
paign made by Doctor Foster caused him
to run hundreds of votes ahead of Par
ker and the Democratic State ticket. but
this advantage was not sufficiently great
to overcome the effect of the sweeping
gains which the Republican ticket made
in every one of the counties OF the dis
trict.
