To Investigate Carriers.

Special to the Topeka Capital.
Washington, D. c., August 10th.
Charges were recently made by a
Wellington newspaper that letter
carriers of the rural free delivery
service at Wellington and other
points had violated the Presidents
order in respect to political activity
while on duty in behalf Of Senator
Long and against the candidacy of
J. L. Bristow, who, while fourth
assistant postmaster general had
supervision over this branch of the
postal service. A call upon acting
Postmaster General Granfeld dis
closed the fact that no complaint
against the accused carriers had as
yet been received at the department.
Mr.. Granfeld stated, however, upon
being furnished with a newspaper
account of the violation, that he
would at once order an investigation
to be made by the Kansas City
inspectors division.
Should the investigation disclose
the fact that rural carriers have
worked against Mr.. Brlstow or any
other candidate for office in Kansas
while engaged in the performance of
their duties they would be found
guilty of an ofense that would re-
suit in their summary dismissal
from the service" declared Mr..
Grandfeld. "Under the order of
President Roosevelt no government
officer or employee in the civil
service is permitted to engage in
politics while on duty or to the
extent of interfering with the public
service. Such officers and en-
ployees have, of course, the right
to affiliate with any political party
they may see fit and are at liberty
to have opinions and express them
publicly if they choose in a quiet
way, but to adroitly and openly en-
gage in campaign for or against
any particular candidate is a viola
ton"

DeniSOn Dead.

I. L. Denison of Erie died at his
home early Friday morning, and
was buried ia the Erie cemetery
Saturday afternoon. He died of
paralysis.
Mr.. Denison located in Allen
county, Kaas., in 1876 o, and located
in Neosho county in 1865. He has
been promiaent in the affairs of the
county ever since, holding various
offices for many years.
Joe DeRison was pleasant,
agreeable man, highly respected and
had many very close friends, among
che warmeSt of which were his Old
soldier comrades, Mr.. Denison
having served his country from 6I
to 65. He was successful lawyer
and a good citizen.
He was born in Pennsylvania
over II years ago. The allotted
span in his life was run out and
much work was crowded into that
time.

old Democratic anti war times.
That money that might be worth
10 ceRts on the dollar today and
tomorrow worth nothing. That
money that when a merchant Gtarted
to market with So o, 600 of it in his
pocket might find it worthless when
he got to the city and find hluself

The only war times Democratic
money was that issued by the de
nded Democrats of the south in
their mad efforts to disgrace old
glory and disrupt this glorious union.

so dramatically waved before his

UNWORTHY CAMPAIGN
TACTICS

Mrs. L. M. Mackey, a worthy
christian woman of Hill City, writes
to tae Capital in distress of mind
because of rumors in circulation re-
garding the religious views of Will
liam H. Taft. A minister, Mrs.
Mackey writes, has been telling
them that Mr.. Taft "believes neither
in God, man nor the "devil" and
this lady asks the Capital to state
what the facts are. She is one who
believes that We ought TO have
christian president.
For Mis-. Mackeys peace of mind
and that OF others, we are able to
say that the minister who circulated
such slander about Secretary Taft
is either a very ignorant or a very
wicked man. Mr.. Taft is firm be.
lever both in God and his fellow
men. He is regular church at
tendant, which not all Christians
nowadays are. He is fine type of
Christian gentleman. Mr.. Taft was
appointed to life position on the
federal bench, which he later re
signed, by President Benz min Har-
rison, a strict Presbyterian and lay
delegate to the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian church. Mr.. Taft's
resignation of his life position on
the bench was given in order to per-
NIT him to accept the first Govern
orship of the Philippines, a position
offered to him by President McKia-
ley, an ardent Methodist. After
wards Mr.. Taft resigned that o&ice
to become Secretary of War and the
closest political adviser of President
Roosevelt, militant Christian of
the Dutch Reformed church. Here
are three eminent Christian, church
going Presidents who were honored
by the friendship of William H.
Taft and who solicited him to ac-
'oept high Office at their hands.
No defense of Mr.. Taft on relig-
ious lines ought to be necessary, but
from several letters which the Capi.
tai has received it appears ehat de-
liberate misrepresentation is going
on regarding Mr. Taft's religious
views. But Mr.. Taft is In good
company. The same disfeputable
campsign tactics were reserted to in
years past against George Washing.

whom made good Presidents of the
United States,-Topeka Capital.

The boys have stuck to it during

weeks to make some needed repairs.
The outlook both for the men and
the manufacturer is good for the

In addition to the post route
m ,ps of states and territories, maps
Of counties having complete rural
delivery service, and blue prints
showir 6 one or more routes emanat
ing from a single postoffioe, may
now be obtained from the Postoffice
department at nominal cost. Some
time ago Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral De Graw recommended that the
department be authorized to sell
these maps to the public and the
authority was granted by Congress
at the last session.
There is a growing demakd for
these maps, and the county maps
being specially useful not only to
residents of the particular county,
but to any person dong business
with or otherwise interested in the
communities described. The county
maps are marked off in numbered
sections of townships and ranges
and show all roads, whether covered
by rural routes or not; all railroad
lines, streams, churches and schools.
Even residences are indicated by
dots, and all postoffices existing as
we'll as those discontinued on ac-
count of rural carrier service are
shown.
With the assistance of the rural
maps stranger can easily drive to
any portion of a county without

HE FORGETS.

| Oui uSai iiiSho, tHS 1hO"' Ahu6 -
Farrelly, is out with his brand new
campaign speech.
He assembled a few of the snort
ing populace in Democratic head,
quarters, a few nights back, and
practiced it on them. Now Hugh
is a bully good fellow but a little
given to the theatrical in his style of
oratory and not so very particular
as to facts if he can but produce the
effect, and likewise an average
Democratic audience is given to
taking the bombastic utterances of
a Democratic orator as the law and
the gospel.
Hugh's most telling points on his
willing audience were made in those
wonderful oratorial flights In which
he attempted to hold the Republican
party up to ridicule and contempt.
He was particularly sarcastic on
the Republican idea. as he termed
it, of electing U. S. senators by the
state Legislatures instead of by direct
vote of the people. 1t is but charity
to Hugh to say that his misrepre-
sentations on that point arose from
lapse of mem ory on his part. The
idea originated from the old Cal
houn Democratic idea of states
rights and was adopted as 6 conces-
sion to that element The Demo
Gratis have been in power In all
branches of the government many
ears aud might have made the
&c fort to correct this error in the
fu fundamental laws of our country
made by their short sighted fore
fathers, but they were always afraid
to tackle the proposition for fear of
allanating their unrcgenerste friends
of the south by attacking any propo
sition that enfringed on states rights
doctrine.
Vet our friend Farreiiy elected
! much applause by accusing the
Republican parity of all responsibil-
ity in this matter. Hugh seems to
be striving to make it appear, at
least, that he is in the SWIM of public
sentiment in opposition to this eki
tenet of his party.
The KansasIRepublican legislature
has already twice DECEASED in favor
| of the selection of U. S. senators
by direct vote of the people sRd
under the new Republican primar
law has now selected q senator from
this state by'direct vote, whom the
next state legislature viii confirm.
7 His address would read better
however, if he would get his geo
graphy little better la hand. 1t
might however answer better as il is
Cor the purpose for which it was
designed, that of elicitiRg a howl Of
applause, if he could always rely 90
the thoughtlescness and gullabiity
Of his audiences.
Another stroSg climax in Hugh'SI
speech is where he dramatically y
draws from his pocket a cashier
check of the recent financial stress,
and frantically waving it in the air,
proclaims it sample of Republican
money and compares it with the
good old Democratic shinplasters
of war times, alleging that Demo
cratic money is still good enough
for him and for every other loyal
Democrat.
Hugh got off his geography again.
The good old Democratic money
was the wild rat nnonev of the oood
