10 orns the work of the department up to the
highest state Of efficiency along business lines
and at the same time TO introduce economies
whenever they are compatible with the public
interest 1t is also the intention of the present
administration to improve the conditions under
which our employees work, by shortening the
hours of labor wherever It is possible and by
basing promotions actual merit instead of on
political preferment. The recent appointments
of DR.. c. P. Ciranf1eld as First Assistant Post
master General and Joseph Stewart as Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General are evidences
Of this policy. Both OF these officials have been
connected with the department for upward OF
fifteen years and their faithful services were
rewarded by the best positions in the depart
ment- This policy viii be strictly adhered to in
the future even as regards the postmasters. and
I am confident that it will result in improving
the efficiency Of the service.
BENEFITS TO EVERYBODY
"One Of the most striking economies insti-
tuted during the last year has been the saving
in railroad mail service. Since 1873 It has been
the uniform practice to use the number of week
days in the weighing period the divisor for
determining the average daily weight in ac-
cordance with the construction put upon the
words working days An order was issued in
June. 1907. which provided that the whole num-
ber Of days included in the weighing should be
used as the divisor for obtaining the average
weight a day. This change Will probably result
IN a saving of S4.6I9,2S5 annually. Another saw
ing Of $165000 was accomplished by a change Of
factories which made the envelopes for the de-
partment These changes are only the begin
ming of a number which VII be made within the
| next few years. with the ultimate result, hope
! that the business Of the department will be con-
/ Quoted on lines OF the utmost economy and

From the showing the juniors had

only change in the lineup from the

Alfred Belt was perhaps the, bright

Just to prove that those who say
this morning was colder than yester-
day are right, and to give the weather
man no room for argument, the mer-
curry knocked six degrees from it's sea-

And what is more, Observer Grover
says that it will be stormy tomorrow.
If so, it cannot be other than snow,
and prospects for Christmas weather
are plentiful. With the first flake liv-
erymen will begin to get out sleighs,

SPOKANE Dec. 1S.-"The question

light of the provisions of the consti-

George Turner, eX-United States sem

1T is doubtful if section 154S of

cancies in office and declares a va
cancy whenever the officer elect fails
to take the oath of office or give or
renew his bond, was intended to apply
to any but local Offices continued
Judge Turner. 1T could not apply to
the office of governor, because neither
the state constitution nor the code
make provision for an oath of Office to
be taken or a bond to be given by the
governor. The constitution of the
United States. however, requires all
executive and judicial officers of the
states to take oath to support the con-
stftution of the United States, but his
