Another Open Letter.
Editor of the World:

Editor of the World:
As there have been several an.
nouncements regarding the Arrow
Transfer company building barn on
Chelan avenue, which would lead the
general public to believe it was go
ing to face out In front of the
homes now located there, would
like you to publish this letter. My
intention is to put the barn on the
alley across my five lots, making the
barn face south and have an alley en-
trance, leaving enough room on the
front of the lots facing Chelan ave-
nue. for cottages. which l will build
later. The barn will be arranged
SO that all the drays will be she'd
ded on the alley, and the buildings
when complete will be modern and
convenient.
Yours truly,

An Open Letter.

Editor Wenatchee Daily World:
Dear Sir:
As a property owner and citizen
Of Wenatchee, l am taking this
means of calling your attention to
the proposed building of livery
barn in the residence portion of this
city.
AS a public spirited citizen l have
not and never can in any way hinder
the development of any business or
industry that tends to up-build our
already prosperous little city.
We have. started to build a city
that will be pleasure to live in, one
that We can be justly proud of, and
can point to with pride as the clean
est and most prosperous city in the
state. But with the odor from a liv-
cry barn floating in through the
door, and flies playing tag with the
children, no healthy person can en-
joy living.
From a commercial standpoint our
growth has been marvellous, but why
should we neglect the sanitary con-
dition In our onward rush for a few
paltry dollars.
It is already quite evident that
the condition of our back yards and
alleys Is such that some attention
should be given to cleaning them up,
but Why should We foster an enter
prise which am sorry to call 1t, thai
win increase the unsanifary condi-

could possibly as an assistant to Mr..
Cortelyou in the treasury depart
ment.
George Pitts is the name Of the
colored messenger who has stood
outside the door wherever George B.
Cortelyou has happened to make his
official home during the past ten
years. Pitts is one of the best known
colored men In the United States. He
has a wide acquaintance among poll
ticians and other public men who
come to Washington from time to
time for one thing or another. Pitts
was with Mr.. Cortelyou when the
latter was secretary to the president.
When Mr.. Cortelyou was placed at
the head of the department of COM
merce, and labor he took Pitts with
him. Then Mr.. Cortelyou temporar-
ily quit the service of the govern
ment to take up his duties as Chair
man of the Republican National
Committee. Pitts was stationed on
guard outside the door of the cam
paign headquarters in New York.
When Mr.. Cortelyou became post
master general it took an executive
order to get Pitts name on the fed
eral pay roll again. The order was
issued by thep resident, at the re-
quest of Mr.. Cortelyou. 1t took an
other executive order to transfer
Pitts to the treasury when Mr.. Cor
telyou assumed his duties at the
head of the great department as the
successor to Leslie M. Shaw. Pitts
record as a messenger is unique In
the history of the government SER
vice.
Secretary Cortelyou has a high re-
along without him. Pitts is born
diplomat. He's as smooth as they
make them. He knows the boss and
the people the boss wants to see and
those who should be discarded
A day or so ago a man called at
the treasury whom Mr.. Cortelyou
had not seen for years. He waited
in the ante-room for the secretary.
and the latter on his way out to
lunch stopped and spoke to him by
name, recalled the circumstance I'M
der which they had last met, and
passed on.
Marvellous, marvellous" said the
saller. THAT mans memory for
faces and names is beyond me. l
can't understand it,"
But Pitts could. Pitts is George
B. Cortelyou's animated memoran-
dunn. He never forgets a name of a |
face, and as it is his duty to escort |
callers into the presence of the Sec
rotary of tibet reasury he posts the |
boss" before thes tranger is admit |
ted to the sanctum sanctorum. Mr. |
Cortelyou owes to Pitts more than |
to anybody or anything else the rep
utation he has for long and ever
green memory.

sumed the duties OF tho chairman Of
the Republican National committee,
Hitchcock became assistant secretary
of the organization. He had about
made up his mind not to re-enter
the government service when he was
rendered the important post of first
assistant acknowledgement.
In the reorganization of that de-
partment, the appointment of post
masters, now numbering nearly sew
enty thousand, was assibned to him.
Mr.. Cortelyou, himself a Product OF
the so-called merit principle, made
up his mind that good and efficient
postmasters should be retained, and
that changes in such offices should
not be made just because a member
of congress wanted a change He
therefore adopted an efficiency rat
ing. If the record of a postmaster
was rated as excellent or good, his
services should be retained; if it was
rated as fair, change could be
made, and if poor, the congressman
could have his way abotu the ap-
pointment. The adoption of the rule
raised a great howl and its enforce
ment nearly precipitated riot But
Mr.. Cortelyou won out. First Assis-
tant Postmaster Hitchcock was the
man upon whose shoulders fell the
burden of work in introducing the
merit rule policy in the appointment
of postmasters. He was the man
who met angry senators and repre-
sentatives. and pacified them; in
many cases he had to tame them
But the rule came, it worked, and 1t
is here to stay.
AS an official of the postoffice de-
partment having to do with appoint
ments Mr.. Hitchcock was naturally
brought into contact with politicians.
Conditions at the north gave him lit
tie trouble after the first plunge, but
in the south they were different
Hitchcock became, and is now prac-
tically the referee in all the postof-
flee fights arising in the southern
states. His recommendation arc us
ually followed by the postmaster
general and the president. The first
assistant has taken deep interest in
southern political affairs. He knows
everybody in the south who is any
body in politics. There is good rea-
son to believe that despite the fact
that Mr.. Cortelyou wants Mr.. Hitch
cock to become one of his assistants
at the treasury, that the latter will
remain in his present Office until the
close of the next campaign.
AS things now size up, the two
wings of the Republican party, one
representing the president and his
policies, and the other comprised of
the ''so-called reactionists," who are
opposed to Rooseveltism, will indulge
in merry warfare to control the next
national convention. The admins
tration is in a fighting mood, as was
made clear in the authorized stories
that came from the White House
concerning the conspiracy and
five million dollar war fund that has
been collected to further its aims.
For that reason Mr.. Hitchcock, who
is intensely loyal to the president,
wifi be handy man in the place he
now holds. His intimate acquaint-
ance with public men in the south
and his knowledge of political condi-
lions in that section, make him inval-
liable. He can put his acquaintance
with men and knowledge of condi-
tions to better utility as first assist
ane acknowledgement than he

SHE NEEDED ANOTHER HAND.
They Enjoyed the Show Immensely,
but Failed TO Applaud.


-yr
In the parauet at the Orpheum last
night sat a young man and his best
girl. People behind them noticed that
the young couple seemed to enjoy
the show immensely, but neither
would applaud, says the Denver Post.
They would look at each other and
smile and say Fine" Isn't that
great" and other such things, but
they would not applaud Everybody
else near by was applauding, and that
started the people behind the young
couple TO wondering why they did
not clap their hands and show their
appreciation substantially. Finally
James H. Cullen came on the stage
and began his singing stunt. His
tirst two songs made great hits, but
still the young couple did not applaud
His third song was even better than
the other two, and 1t was then that
the mystery as TO why the young
people did not applaud was explained
TO those behind them. When Cullen
finished the song the girl turned TO
her escort John, she said, loud
enough for these behind to hear,
