STRIKES AT POSTMAOTERS
New York Reform League Says
Many Breed Corruption.
Demands that They Come Under
Civil Service Laws-Praise for
Roosevelt.

Buffalo, Nov. 7.-Politicians were named
and their alleged misdeeds recounted in
the annual report Of the State Council Of
the National Civil Service Reform
League. read at a session Of the league
held to-day at the Iroquois Hotel Rich
ard Henry Dana read the report, in the
absence of DR.. Daniel c. Gilman, presi-
dent OF the league, who is Ill.
After referring to civil service rules re-
lating TO political activity on the part of
Federal employees. the report called atten-
ton to President Roosevelts request
for the resignation, last April. of Archie
Sanders. collector of internal revenue at
Rochester. because of his political activ-
ity against Gov. Hughes.
TT is rumored" said the report that
Mr.. Sanders is still allowing his political
activities TO Interfere with his official
duties. and il this proves to he the case.
his removal is most desirable"
The report commended President Roose-
welt for promoting the assistant postmas-
ter of New York to the postmastership.
and suggested that postmasters be placed
under civil service rules.
with such a system, said the report
we could kill several msavory birds
with one stone. Some of these unsavory
birds are putting inCXperience at the
helm. making post-offices and custom
houses political headuarters, forcing sub
ordinates into official work. making polit-
ical assessments on their salaries, evading
civil service rules. and making ours the
worst postal department Of any civilized
country in the world"
At the evening meeting Of the league
the chief guests were Gov Hughes and
Attorney General Bonaparte. The latter
preceded the governor with brief
speech. Gov. Hughes spoke as follows:
We are a government of laws and not
of men. and most important il is that
we should never lose sight OF that fact.
The government depends upon principle.
upon the VIII of the people 20 prescribed
in the fundamental law and in legtsla-
ton enacted according 10 popular desire.
and does not depend upon the wish or
caprice of individuals.
Fundamentally, we need two things.
First. the untTammeled expression OF the
people in the choice Of their officers who
administer, and in the choice of their
legislators who make their laws. But we
want no perversion of our party or Do
litical machinery, so as to set up OBJ
st8Cies in the way Of that freedom of
choice by which the people can get the
men they want and the laws they want.
And the second thing is efiiciency-tbe
highest degree OF efficiency in the man
agement of the business of the State. If
you have those two things. then Won
have true Democratic government"

CONTROVERSY OVER FIGURES IN
NEW YORK CHURCH ENDS.
Sculptor Borelum Transforms Statues
in the Cathedral Of St. John the
Divine SO They Are Neither
Man Nor Woman.

Sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who
furnished the angel figures for the
cathedral of st. John the Divine, at
New York city, has at last lost out
in his contention with the committee
that the feminine type is the correct
one. Notwithstanding the fact that he
showed presidents In the angels OF
'Perguine, of Fra Angelica and OF our
own American French, many of which
are evidently women. His reverend
and learned critics cared nothing for
precedent; all angels were male; the
Bible always referred to an angel as
he" the very word angel was mas
culine in all languages in which there
are distinctions of gender.
All the world took up the discussion.
and many comments greeted the stern
attitude of the reverend and learned
critics. But these gentlemen had the
final word Mr.. Borglum had to make
| his angels over to suit them.
That ia why the rounded busts oil
| the statues have been hacked OFF; that
| is why the waving locks have been
| cut down; that is why the soft con-
| tours of the faces have been made
| more angular
THE controversy was absurd" Mr..
Borglum declared; ut was so abso'
lutely ridiculous that l can hardly find
an excuse for speaking of 1t at all.
when made those angels did a
piece of work which involved as much
study, as much serious, heartfelt, con
temptation and consideration as the
modelling of Virgin or other sacred
figure. endeavored to draw an ange
not man, nor a woman, but an
angel. In modelling these figures
made what to me expressed the high
est best and most sacred of all ideals
1t was to impart to those faces ant
forms. as nearly as possible, sem
blance to something divine, something
that when we look at 1t we feel, Here
is the figure of an angel, here is rep
resentation In human form of per
feet being which has been carried II
the imagination of man since nj
brain was capable of comprehension
1t was to me the production OF al
ideal I had cherished in childhood;
was the result of matured idealiza
ton.
ITO say / was shocked when form
. figure and contour of face were Of
, jected to on the ground that the
/ Iwere too feminine, because there wer
. no women angels, and that these mus
be made to look like men, is but mill
