HUSBAND OR WIFE TO LOSE POSITION.

President Roosevelt has decided to eject from
the government service the husband or wife where
both are employed. He has called upon the civil
service commission for a list of names of such
employees. When this list has been furnished
under direction of the president, the husband and
wife who both upon Uncle Sans pay roll will
be given opportunity to decide which shall
remain and which shall resign. If agreement
is reached the other will be dismissed
The president will inIerpose objection to the
employment of women whose husbands al living
but are not in the government service nor will
he attempt to regulate the number of members
of any family who shall be given government en-
ployment further than to make it impossible for
both the husband and the wife to remain upon the
pay rolls. 1t is estimated that in Washington
alone there at least 100 cases where both
husband and wife are in the government servic
marital relations secret and the wife appears u

CUsEY ON THE STAND
Traffic Manager for sehwarzchiId G.
sulzberser Testifics in Rebate Cases
of Chicago & Alton Railroad and
Former Officials Of the Company.

Chicago. July $.--B. S. Cusey. traffic
manager for the packing firm Of
SchwarZchild & Sulzberger, was the
first witness today in the hearing OF
the rebate cases of the Chicago & Al
ton railroad and two former officials Of
that company. He said that whenever
an empoye of the packing company
purchased ticket from along the
road he would be given receipts for the
money paid, and that he went to Fred
A. Wann, then connected with the road
and demanded that settlement be made
for $4,000 worth of ticket receipts.
Wann refused to pay the receiptsaa and
he then explained to Wann that other
lines issued transportation to other in
dustrial companies which sent freight
over them The claims. witnesses said,
covered the fares of inspectors, me-
chanics. etc. The claims covered by
the receipts. he said, were later paid
by Wann. The court held that no evil
dence could be admitted which tended
to show the Alton had Disseminated in
favor of Schwarzchild Il Sulzberger
After Cursey left the stand the gov
ernment said it had no more testimony
to offer and the attorneys for the de-
fense declared they had no evidence to
introduce. They made a motion that
the court direct the ju. to return a
verdict of not guilty and arguments

MARSH HALLTOWN, low TUESDAY, JULY 3, 1906

large number of candidates for other
offices are involved and the policy OF
the party, AZ ii may be declared IN
it's platform, may be directly at issue.
We have an least two candidates for
lieutenant governor, three candidates
for secretary of state, and number OF
candidates for railroad commissioner,
and they are just as much concerned
in the contesting delegations as we are.
Even therefore. If it would be wise an
der amy circumstances to resort to ar
btration. the candidates for governor
ought not to assume the prerogatives
which belong. in part at least, to 9TH
ers,
Second, my firm conviction is that
party peace and harmony would not be
secured by referring the controversies
In this state to the national commit
tee. The practice would be full or
danger and discord. In the end, the
national committee would become the
master of the party as to Its state poll
icy and nominations. and our republi-
cans would so resent the interference
that it would disrupt~our organization
and tend to our defeat. 1t is far bet
ter for us to adjust our own troubles
We have been able to do this with high
success in tf past and am sure that
we can do it in the future. doubt
very much whether a state convention
should, under any circumstances. ask
the aid of all arbitrator in the adjust
ment of controversies which may come
before 1t. 1t may be influenced by par
tisanship, and may not always do
perfect justice. but It's decisions con-
cerning it's own membership will be
more apt to bring good feeling than
the judgment of any outside person.
Good government seems to require that
a contested seat in q legislative as
1 sembly shall be determined by the leg
islative body itself, and the reasons
which support this practice apply with
still greater force to a political COIL
vention.
Believing that 1t would be unwisa
to adopt Your suggestion. I am still
heartily in accord with your desire to
promote the strength and harmony of
the party want the convention to
do it's work in the time honored way,
and altho ! cannot agree to the with
drawal of any part of its responsibility
there is method thru which you AMI
l can allay much of the bitterness TO
which you refer and insure a conven-
ton that will be full of enthusiasm.
and begin campaign that will end in
a complete victory in November. Let
us from this time forward put away
the thought that the convention will be
unfair. Let us stamp out the idea that
ii may terminate in disunion. Let us
make our friends ana followers under
stand that we will not resort to techn.-
calites of procedure and that the dele
gates who have been selected by a
majority of the republican voters, in
substantial compliance with the Gus
tom of the party, shall take their
seats unvexed by opposition. In this
way you and l can render good service
to the party and can remove every
trace of Ill feeling that has been
aroused"
