Denver, Colo, July N-In view of the fact that the sturdy miners of Woodrock, Wyo., have turned to Colorado in an ap- peal for women-young, good looking, marriageable women-the suggestion has been made that the Colorado State Com mercial association open a matrimonial bureau for the purpose of supplying these homesick, lovelorn. lonesome bachelors mayhap millionaires in the embryo-with wives
 A letter has been received from W. II. Smith of Woodrock, Wyo., asking for a list of marrlageable girls in Denver for some of the miners there. In conclusion the said MT. Smith inserted a postscript showing that he also is anxious to be- come a benedict. The postscript reads:
 "P S.-You mighten tell me privately which is the prettiest one of them gurls, and l guess I can make 1t alright"
 Just what will be done about procuring the girls remains to be seen. No definite action has been taken.

heard of in this country of politics and politicians. Twenty-four years ago Ed ward w. Morgan became letter car Tier in the local postoffice. Step by step, though slowly, he advanced until now he occupies the most important office in theipostal service outside of Washing ton.
 Morgan never dreamed that he would ge the place, neither did any one else. What shove the politicians aside and appoint a man with absolutely no recom- fnendation but his twsnty-four years in the service? It was too much to believe. But that Is just what the President did, much to the disgust of the local republic an leaders Morgan deserved the appoint rnent. For nine years he had been as- sistant postmaster making the admins- trations of the political appointees sue cessful William R. Wilcox, who is now the head of the New York city public utilities commission, was the only post master under whom Morgan served that gave him his due. MT. Wilcox worked for the appointment of his assistant. An other man whose influence counted for much was George B. Cortelyou, who also took up the cudgels for Morgan against the politicians MT. Cortelyou, himself, began his career as 1 stenographer In the postoffice department. He, too, has been a product of the merit system and perhaps that was one reason why he felt so kindly to Morgan.
 Postmaster Morgan is noted for his re- markable memory It is said that he never forgets a face or a voice, and plenty of illustrations are given to support both assertions. About fifteen years ago he lent sl0 to g man whom he knew but slightly. The man dropped out of MT. Morgan's slight. It was ten years later when man appeared in MT. Morgan's office to

uELP WANTED.

Merely as a seeker for information,
we would be glad to have somebody
tell US the connection between freight
rates and laundry charges. A short
news item says the laundry managers
are considering raising their charges on
account of high freight rates. We have
not more than a laymans knowledge
of the laundry business, but we have
been labOTing under the impression that
the chief end of the laundry is to wash
clothing. This implies the use of wa
ter, soap, machinery and some human
beings. We wish TO go on record as as
sorting A conviction that the water and
the human beings do not come to the
laundries by freight. Doubtless the
soap and the machinery do, but the
probably the soap is secured through a
wholesaler or jObber who quotes the
rates to the laundry. For delivery pur-
poses, wrapping paper, Irvine, horses
and wagons are needed, and the ac-
count keeping requires paper. ink, etc.
In the lace OF this, we fall TO see
where the freight rates figure, unless
it be in connection with the cost of the
soap and the starch, perhaps. The
items of Irvine, paper. etc. we believe
to be small enough to be neglected
without affecting the main issue. And,
assuming that We have stated the case
correctly, we believe the responsibility
fer the contemplated increase should
be charged to soap and starch, not to
freight rates.
We have no disposition to open
quarrel with the laundry. We yield to
none in admiration Of that most useful
factor in civilizing the world, and we
hope all of them will live long and
prosper. All we want is information.
