The National tribune., 1906-10-18

In years past the Office of Postmaster
was used by the politician as one of his
principal assets in paying on political
debts. The political boss has hereto
fore been the referee" in dispensing
these soft and often lucrative positions
to those who gave their services in the
management of political affairs, not
only in the great cities and towns but
even in the smallest villages and ham,
lets.
There shall be no more bartering
for post offices" is the edict of PreSl-
dent Theodore Roosevelt. Hereafte,
the post Office will be conducted as n
business institution and not as an asset
of the political machine. The new or
der of things has brought woe to the
politicians, particularly the members of
the House of Representatives, who find
it an utter impossibility to fulfill prom
ises made during the last campaign. AS
a result many bitter post-office fights
are brewing in the several States, some
of which threaten to defeat members
of Congress for failure to carry out
pledges made in good faith.
The new policy Of the Administra-
tion is to retain every Postmaster, re-
gardless of his class or politics. whose
administration has been entirely salts
factory to both the Post Office Depart
nlent and majority of the patrons of
the office.
Upon the expiration of the term of
a successful Postmaster the PostmaS-
ter-General directs a letter to the Re-
publican Congressman in whose district
the particular office is located, and ad-
vises him to the effect that as the ser
vices of the incumbent of the office are
entirely satisfactory to the Department
the latter will be recommended for re-
appointment unless good reasons can
be shown why he should not be retain
ed. All the Department wants to know
Of the Congressman is il any showing
ran be made against the Postmaster's
private character, or if there are any
rood reasons otherwise that could be
presented by the patrons why he should
not be reappointed.
In cases of this kind charges of 4
grave nature are frequently filed with
both Postmaster-General Cortelyou and
President Roosevelt to bring about q
desired change in the office. Both Con-
eressmen and politicians storm the
White House day after day and fight
these cases with determined Vigor, often
injecting personalities and feeling. The
President orders a rigorous inveStiga-
ton, telling his visitors that if the find
ings of investigation show proof OF
charges he will direct a change in the
appointment: otherwise he will reap
point the official III question.
Two Rigid Rules.
A man may make an excellent Post
master, have d good record, and serve
the patrons of his Office with entire
satisfaction, yet he may violate some
of the rules and regulations laid down
by the Department respecting his Of
flee. For instance, he is required by
q rule, to devote personally eight hours
of his time to the duties of the office
every day in the year that he is moi
ill or for some other pressing reason

JAPANESE WAR TALK.

President Roosevelt. in his message
to Congress, pays attention at soAe
length to the Japanese question. That
this Is of more than ordinary importance
may he judged from tho fact that Con-
sui General Miller Of Yokohama Is
quoted as having predicted II war be-
tween this country ami Japan.
The japanese sentiment is reelected.

which we lind quoted In the current
number OF the Literary Digest. The

class, says, In part:
"The ungracous utterances OF news

uttering harsh words. But we can no

paper is even more violent In his crit
icIsm, lie remarks.
There are many Of our countrymen
IN san Francisco who have been as

whites. Yet these unfortunate COM

scethlng malstroem Of anti Mormon

that they must not be ieopardized
Special notice should be taken OF the
fact that for months the conspirators
have told the public that the schools
arc dogenerating, that priestly control
hangs over them as a black pan, and
that Il was necessary TO rescue them
from the clutches OF so.called HER
archs.' The falsaly so-caIled Amerl-
can ticket was put IN the field, il was
said, for the salvation OF the schools
that wero threatened with ruin The
citizens have by their vote for menu
beers Of the board OF education stamped
MI these allegations as falsehoods, The
voters, who know that there are no
"hlcrarchs' here, and that no prlestly
control over the public schools has ever
been attempted that the management
OF educational affairs has been
satisfactory IN every respect, say
by their vote that they are
not TO be imposed upon by such miser-
able appeals to human passions but
that they can tAlnk and act for them

The allegation that the result Of the

AS TO MOTIVES.

''rhe organ OF the Mormon Church Is
constantly disparagng the motives
which actuato the men aud women OF
Utah who demand the enforcement OF
the law, the keeping OF the pledge made
10 the nation, and the due observance
of the plain letter and spirit Of the
constitution of this commonwealth
This complaint is from the chief anti
Mormon organ,
We have shown by rrefutable tcsti-
inony that the pledge.breakers are
those and only those, who have sought
10 inspire persecution against the Lat
tor-day Saints because some OF them
sill maintain their families, AZ It was
understood might he done without harm
TO anybody, as long as new unlawful
marriage contracts were not entered In
10 with the sanction OF the Church. We
have proved thar It is the leaders Of
the present crusade and, not the Nor
mons" who are guilty OF periidy, We
viii not recur to that question at pres
ent. hut the lmputation that We are
disparasing tho motives OF anti-"Mor-
mons may call Tor few remarks,
And first let us say that there are
many good men and women In tho
world who join the antl-"Mormon' cru
saders, because they honestly believe
that by so doing they perform a great
service to their fellowmeu. Their mo-
dives arc as pure as were those OF the
poor old soul who came dragging with
a bundle OF taggots 10 add to the pile
on which Huss met death In the flames.
Then there are others who have about
the same motive that actuated the am
cient Athenian IN his vote against
Aristides. The anecdote Is familiar
Tho Athcnlans had the right Of ostra-
cizing any citizen. on certain day
each citizen deposited In a designated
place potsherd or oyster she'll on
which vas written the name ~ some
person he wished banished. II as many
as 5000 such votes were cast against
any man. he was required to leave Ath.

Just that at the time the popular de-
cree Of Punishment was thus pro.
bounced against him, an illiterale
Athenian approached him In the mar
ket place. requesting that he write upon
