Helps Him I'm Bupsiness
The postmaster in a small town is
generally the village grocer who has
the office in his store for the extra
trade that it brings to his place of
business. When the cancellations in
a fourth class office amount or exceed
$1,000 year it is made a third class
office. The salary, therefore, of a
fourth class postmaster. never exceeds
$1,000 and it might be said, it very
seldom reaches that amount.
An office becomes first class when
the salary of the postmaster exceeds
$4,000. The second class postmasters
/ get between $4,000 and $4,000 and the
third class postmasters get between
$1,000 and $4,000. Heretofore the ap-
pointment of fourth class postmasters
has been made by the postmaster
general on the recommendation of the
post office inspectors.
Personnel of Lake County Offers
It will be of interest to the people
of Lake county to know there are
1905 post Offices In Indiana. Of that
number but 221 are presidential Offices,
that is, of the first second and third
class. There are thirteen of the first
class. sixty-nine of the second class
139 of the third class and 1884 of the
fourth class. In Lake county alone
there is one first class office. Ham
mond: three second class Offices, East
Chicago. Indiana Harbor and Gary
and three third class Offices, Crown
Point, Hobart and Lowell.
The people of the county will be
very much interested in knowing how
the new plan of having the fourth
class postmasters put under civil SER
vice will work out If it is q success
1t is understood that the plan win be
adopted all over the United States.

Counts ON Republican Resentment.
What do you think your chances
are of carrying Lake county," Mr..
Bruce was asked.
81 do not know much about the
northern part Of the county. but I do
know that there is a sentiment against
the saloons in this part of the county
and I think the majority down here
want them put out of the business"
do you think that the resentment
of the republicans over the defeat of
Watson will have much effect on the
result in the case county election is
held to vote on the exclusion of the
saloons?"
I'VE are counting on that" said Mr..
Bruce, enthusiastically. You see, the
republicans all over the state lay the
defeat of Watson at the door of the
breweries The democrats stood pat
for Marshall, and the breweries con-
verted enough liberal republicans to
defeat Watson.
But the old line republicans" he
continued, feel the defeat of Watson
bitterly and they are going to vote
against the breweries and saloons
which were responsible for it."

THE Lake county republicans can
not complain that they did not get an
even break out of the saloons, can
they?'
| The saloons in Lake county on the
whole did not hurt the republican
cause" said Mr.. Bruce. There were
isolated districts, such as the Stand
| ard settlement in Hammond, where the
saloonkeepers did good work and there
were several saloonkeepers over the
| county, such as George Kaiser OF
Crown Point, who were very active.
we warned those fellows to be
good" continued Mr.. Bruce, but they
thought we were joking. Now they
will have to take their medicine. We
have already punished Chris Lassen a

and we are going after others, includ
ing Kaiser.

these men are what are known as lib

LEADERS CONFER IN BOSTON
Third Of Big Conferences Of Repub-
licans Held.
EARLY NEW ENGLAND ELECTIONS
Vermont and Maine 20 Vote Before
Rest lOf NRtion-RepOrts ON
Effectiveness OF Campaign
Speakers.

BOSTON. Aug. 2L-The third OF the big
district conferences, which are a feature Of
the management of the republican cam
paign by Chairman Hitchcock, is being
held here today at the Hotel Touraine.
At this meeting all Of the national com
mitteemen OF the New England states are
present. Greater Importance is attached to
the gathering than to those held in Colo
RADIO Springs and Chicago because of the
early elections in Vermont and Maine and
the effect that strong campaigning in these
states will have on other sections.
The conference Is chiefly for the purpose
of arranging details Of the campaign, such
as assignment of speakers. the gathering
of funds to carry on work. the distribu-
ton Of literature and other routine mat
ters. The state leaders will make known
their wants In relation TO speakers and
literature and the national committed Will
meet the demands as far as possible.
Many strong speakers have been as
signed to Vermont and Maine already and
Others popular in these states will be sent
there as rapidly as they become available.
A strong effort will be made to hold the
republican vote recorded in 1904 in order to
influence voters in other parts of the coun-
try.
At the opening Of the conference Mr..
Hitchcock made a brief statement. He
explained that it had been decided to have
sent to national headquarters reports upon
the effectiveness of speakers and he said
there should be no hesitancy on the part
Of the directors of this branch Of the work
to withdraw any speaker who failed to
make a good impression.

EQUAL PRIVILEGES FOR WOMEN
German Press Devot Much Space &c
Discussion of the
Decree.

BERLIN, Aug. A.-German homes and
German newspapers have been far more
occupied during the end OF the week with
the Prussian governments decree grant
Ing higher education to women than by
discussions on German and British naval
ornaments or the meeting OF the two SOW
ereigns. The granting OF educational OPP
p~ortunities for girls and women equal. to
those OF men is regarded as making a deep
change in German life, where more than
in the western states, women have been
considered as the keepers OF the home and
the workers in minor industries.
The Introductory paragraps OF the decree.
which have been approved by the emperor,
recite the reasons for the change in the
system. Modern life says the decree, de-
| velops an increasing dissemination on the
part OF men OF the upper classes to marry
and more girls in the upper and middle
classes are prevented from becoming wives
and mothers. 1t is desirable, therefore, that
the surplus Of young women should have
a chance of preparing themselves for pro-
fessional cailings and that they should be
trained in the higher mental functions.
There has been an agitation for equal
privileges for the sexes since the early
SOS and most Of the other German states
have already granted them.
