POSTAL SALARIES TOO
LOW. SAYS HITCHCOCK.
Difficult to Get Postmasters in West on
Account of High Prices
There.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Federal jobs
are going begging out West, especially in
the mining regions, a state of affairs due
to undiminished prosperity, according to
Frank H. Hitchcock, First Assistant Post
master-General, who has Just returned
from a trip that extended to the Pacific
coast.
THE postal laws should be so amended"
said Mr. Hitchcock. "as to enabl us to
make additional allowances for clerks and
carriers in communities where unusual con-
ditions exist"
Mr.. Hitchcock illustrated this point as
follows. Edward R. Collins, the post
master at Goldfeld, New. has expended
thousands of dollars in excess of his sal
airy during the past three years to keep
the postofice at that place in commission
He was compelled TO do so for the reason
that the allowances made for clerks and
carriers were inadequate. 1t was, there
fore. incumbent upon Mr.. Collins to close
up the office or keep 1t running with his
own money. He chose the latter alterna-
tive"
Mr.. Hitchcock said that the Goldfeld
case was not an isolated one in the postal
service out West. 'tOther postmasters are
periodically doing likewise" he added. I'm
some cities,p he said, ut has been found
difficult to get men to serve as postmasters,
and in others we have found 1t hard to
induce postmasters to remain in the service
owing to the meagre allowances. All or
this is explained on the ground chat wages
and prices are practically double those
prevailing in the EAST. Accordingly, men
have no difficulty In getting positions. and
with the salaries offered, government places
do not look attractive to them"
Mr.. Hitchcock declared that some months
ago the letter carriers at Butte, Mont,
walked out" complaining that the COM
pepsation paid was barely sufficient for a
livelihood.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS DOING
MORE THAN COLLEGES
Church Workers Score Institutions of
Higher Education for Lack of
Christian Training.

BURLINGTON, Nov. THAT for the
advancement of good citizenship, the
Sunday school plays a more important
part in modern life than the public in
,stitution of learning, was the claim of
several speakers before the annual con-
vention of the Burlington County Sun
day School Association in the Broad
Street M. e. Church here.
Don't send your boy to college un-
less he has the underlying principles of
Christianity" said the Rev. Thomas S.
Hammond, of Burlington, in an open
ing address. UNLESS the boy is domi-
mated by the influences of a Christian
training he usually leaves the institu-
ton or higher education, a greater
menace to the community. with his
shallow theories, than the most igno-
rant voter at the polls"
In a pertinent address to Sunday
school teachers the Rev. Forrest E.
Dagger, of Philadelphia, gave advice on
How to Get Hold of a Boy" Don't
try to make a girl out of a boy if you
wish to keep him in the Sunday
school" he said. "If properly treated,
the Bible is more interesting than flc-
ton to the average hero-loving boy
The Rev. Frank E. Smith, Of Had
donheld, praised the efforts of Sunday
schools of the state to support foreign
missions, and told in brief detail of his
recent tour of inspection of missions
in China.
The Rev. e. Morris FERGUSON, OF
Newark, State secretary, in a tech
nical address on school problems, de-
clared h frequent scarcity of young
men in Sunday school classes Is due
TO absence of proper methods Of gain
ing their interest.

PRAISED BY LINCOLN
MRS. CLINTON WON FAVOR
OF MARTYR PRESIDENT.
Went to Washington to Plead for Life
of Husband Condemned for Deser-
tion-Got Reprieve.

BEVERLY, Nov. 7.-At the funeral
here yesterday of tho late Mrs. Harriet
Clinton. the Rev. Thomas s. Hammond
gave an interesting chapter from her
LIES history. He said that no truer
friend of Abraham Lincoln ever lived
than the late Mrs. Clinton. and before
his assassination the good President
was her friend, and always took inter
est in her life.
Mr.. Hammond told the story, here
tofore unknown to his hearers. because
Mrs. Clinton, fearing that 1t was a re-
Election on her late husband, did not
relish repeating 1t. 1t was during the
Civil Wal that Mr.. Clinton. after hav-
ing deserted the army three times,
was condemned to be shot. Although
she had u one day to act in IN effort
to save her husbands life, Mrs. Clinton
went by slow trains and boats, travel
ing night and, day, and with scarcely
money enough to reach the national
capital.
Demanding an interview with the
President, Mrs. Clinton was denied and
was detained as a spy, but finally
reached the door Of the White House.
Here a wrangle ensued between her and
the ushers. The President. hearing
the disturbance. stepped out to quiet
it. Mrs. Clinton cor impressed Lin
coin with her pitiful story, and told
how she and her seven little children
were depending upon linn.
Madame, your husband Is free. Goo
bless such a noble wife" said the great
President. Ever after that. although
the time was short, Mrs. Clinton and
Abraham Lincoln were the best of
friends. Mr.. Clinton has been dead for
a number of years and lies buried in
South Jersey.
