Guard Against New Postmasters.


Self-preservation and hearty in
dorsement of their superiors were the
keynotes of the new State Association
of Assistant Postmasters, which was
organized in Milwaukee. BY the
adoption of resolutions recommending
that assistant postmasters be placed
on the classified civil service list, the
infant organization inaugurated cru
SADIE to guard assistant postmasters
against unfavorable appointments and
removals by new postmasters. By a
unanimous approval of all resolutions
adopted by the recent convention of
state postmasters, this protective pol
icy was further emphasized. The
convention adjourned at five o'clock
after selecting the following officers
and committees:
President, William A. Devine, Madison;
first vice-president, S. F. Eberle, Water
town. second vice-president, Eva Ortel
Waupaca; third vice president, I. A Hud-

HOUSEKEEPING AND GAMBLING

Gov Hughes has won in his fight
against pool selling and horserace
gambling In the state of New York.
and the problem among those who
engaged In the sport Of kings is
whether or not the public will con-
tnue to patronize the races to such
an extent as to make the game profit
able. In other words, does the pub
lie attend the race meet to enjoy
the races or merely to make it the
vehicle for furthering their passion
tor gambling?
opinion Will be divided according
to the point OF view. 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that the game will be ruin
ed for a certain class who have had
pleasure. profit and ruin from the
source. The real. reason for the pas
sage OF the law is that profit for
some and ruin for others was inevi-
table under the operation of pool
selling, and that in the keen compe-
tition to play into the winning pock-
ct the crooks were more numerous
than the honest men among those
who manipulated races.
The breeding of the racehorse in
his perfection and the spirit of the
contest ought not to be marred by
the barring Of swindling means and
methods by which the sport of racing
has been made disreputable. There
are many who feel that it will not
be. but that as it may, the soundness
OF the position taken by those who
made the present law possible is un-
questioned. The state of New York,
thanks to the strength of its execu-
tive. has done its duty in the sup
preston of this aliuring vice.

WHAT THE SOUTH NEEDS.

AT the recent educational confer
ence Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, held in Atlanta, DR..
James w. Lee. Georgia clergyman
and educator. made an address in
which he said that Harvard univer-
sity alone had an annual income
greater by $4,000 than the incomes
OF all the colleges and universities
OF the South put together, and that
mot 10 per cent of the productive
funds of American colleges Is held
In the South. In the last quarter of
. century hundreds Of millions have
been received by Harvard. Yale, Co.
Iumbia. Chicago, Leland Stanford,
Washington. California and other
universities, while the Southern COL
leges combined report less than 10
million dollars for the same period.
DR.. Lee holds that the population
OF "a million In the South ia more
favored In natural resources than
any like number of people anywhere
With 80 per cent OF the area of the
country, the South furnishes 40 per
cent Of the national exports. The
United States geological survey
states that the South has a supply Of
known iron and steel ores equal to
those Of all Europe. and a coal area
Of $4,000 square miles or SO per cent
more than the coal deposits of
Great Britain, Germany. France and
Russia together. At 10 cents ton
West Virginia and Kentucky alone
have 10 billion dollars worth of
coal. In the last Ave years the cot
ton crop has brought In annually
100 million dollars and cotton repre-
SCENTS but a third of the Southern in
como from agriculture. Southern
fruits and vegetables are an increas-
ing resource. 4
In products and industries the
South has ample reason for satisfac
tion and great expectations. In
decd. the Southern states are greatly
favored from the material stand
point. but DR.. Lees figures show
that that section Of the country has
been sadly overlooked in the educa-
tiOn and general advancement of its
people. The South appears to be
= neglected field In these matters.
and its richness and growing impor-
lance deserve better treatment than
tho lack of consideration that has
been shown that section Of the coun-
try along educational and religious
Hines.

believe that to the evil of wa

traced most kinds of graft, both
public and private. also the great
financial upheavals and the prolong-

curities and stocks with only partial
value or no value at all back of them
has been so common in this country
as to callous pubic sentiment to the
extent that many otherwise reputa-

this kind. The worst feature of the
public Indifference is the common

Modern Machinery VS.. Ancient Toll
From the Engineering Magazine.

L
No one has been able to decide how
the enormous stones in the Pyramids
were handled: for, even allowing for the
vast army of men, some sort of mechan-
ical continuance must have been used
One theory is that as each course of
stone was laid, a sand embankment was
built around it with long easy slopes so
that the stones for the next course could
be pushed up on rollers and slide into
place without any actual lifting, and SO
on. the pyramid being in fact buried as
fast as it was built, until the top was
reached, when the stupendous job of re-
moving the sand embankment was COM
menced.
This might account for the vast army
Of laborers used; for instance, 1t Is SAID
that In building the great pyramid OF
Cheops 100, 600 men were employed Tor
thirty years, although the quarry from
which the stone was obtained was only
1900 feet from the pyramid.
The City Investing building. the largest
skyscraper in New York. happens to be
nearly the same height as the pyramid
If we required the same number OF days
labor for this building, which takes
year to erect. as the Egyptians took, we
would have thirty multiplied by 100000
or 100000 men working every day for
one year on this one building. Imagine
number of men equal 10 almost the en-
tire population Gncluding men. women
ana children, of New York city trying TO
reach the corner of Broadway and Cort-
landt street every morning.
