PLAYERS
For Keokuk Pechstein played a good
game and also Weismann and Dun
can Pechstein did the best work in
advancing the ball, getting away with
forward passes and making a
number OF good gains around end. The
defensive playing of Duncan was the
one Tedeeming feature of the game
from q keokuk standpoint. Time af-

The reasons why this forty-eight

Besides performing night work these
clerks are skilled workers, making
constant use of their mind and Of their

Besides all this, these men are com

But the government does not allow

REGULATE HOURS
FOR POSTAL CLERKS
Congressman W. W. Wilson of Illinois
Champions Their CauSe-Merit> of
the Measure Now in Congress.

On December Congressman ". W.
Wilson, Of Illinois. introduced in the
House OF Representatives bill to
regulate the hours Of clerks employed
in first and second class postoffices.
The cry OF the postoffice clerk for
an eight-hour day is by no means new,
and neither is it without justifica
ton.
Postoffice clerks have been compell-
ed to work many hours each day in
excess Of eight hours without compen-
sation and under very trying circun-
stances.
The report of the first assistant
postmaster general recites that accord
ing to statistics returned to the Depart
1nent the average amount of overtime
served by clerks amounts to nearly IN
hour day.
In many offices clerks frequently
work 10 to II hours daily.
The clerks are not unreasonable ia
their demands.
They are not demanding an Arb
trary eight-hour day.
The clerks realize that there is like
ly to be a tiuctuation in the volume
of mails from day to day that migct
necessitate little longer period OF
employment one day than on another.
And so the clerks have in the past
asked the department to grant them
a working week of forty-eight hours.
"A glance at the bill which Congress
man Wilson has introduced shows us
that it provides for forty eight hours
per week, including such number OF
hours on Sundays and holidays as the
needs Of the service require.
by thus including within the scope
of the forty-eight hours the Sunday
and holiday work, no doubt a saiutary
influence will be exerted to reduce TO
a minimum such Sunday service
Some Sunday work will always be ne
cessary in the postoffice, but it IS I'M
fortunately true that there is more
Sunday work carried on than is neces-
sary~ Objection to this Sunday wo@N
Of an unnecessary character is beinS
vigorously made by many eminent dl
vines throughout the country.

Questions.
u. C. McGrew.'

n. C. Van Vechten, 1110 Center St.
Racine, Wis, asks:
1. How is the Government getting on
with the colored veterans under the age
act? Colored people, as a rule, can
have no record of their birth and state
ment of their age.
q. Did a foreigner who served in our
army during the war afterward have to
take out naturalization papers in order
to become citizen?
3. Was it not a fact that our National
hymn. the "Star Spangled Banner" was
ridiculed by foreigners up to IT, ti-cze
of freeing our slaves?
Answers:
l. The Pension Bureau has not said
anything about trouble with the colored
veterans in regard to their age. II
probably establishes the age by that
given by the soldier when he enlisted.
and which appears on the muster rolls.
2. A foreigner who served in our army
had to take out his final papers in order
to become a citizen. His enlistment and
service were in the nature of a declara-
ton of intention.
3. Not only foreigners, but whole
lot of ourselves made much fun of the
Star Spangled Banner and its boast
about the land of the free when there
were between 100000 and 5,000,000
slaves in the country.-Editor National

Hon. J. A. McGrew, of Kingwood, w.

the Convention which took action to
sever the union of West Virginia from
Virginia. He was one of the leading
advocates in separation, and since then
has devoted himself with eager zeal to

State. of which he was one of the faith
ers He is now "a years old and hale
and hearty. Recently Department Com

gratulations, and received in return the

Ravenswood, w. Va.
f'Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor of
the 10th inst. with inclosure received.
Allow me to thank you for your very
kind words and wishes. 1t is crafty
ing to a participant to receive the as
surance of approval of the wisdom and
Righteousness of the partition of Vir-
ginia and the organization of a separate
State. thereby releasing the people west
of the mountains from the injustice and
oppression of the ruling class east of
the mountains. When the early and
strenuous effort was being made by a
few. and the result seemed doubtful, l
believed in resulting benefits. 1 am
sure of them now. But in our rejoicing
over the marvellous success of West Vir
ginia we must not forget that it was
the Grand Army of the Republic that
saved the Union from disruption.
Cordially yours,
~. c. McGrew."
