The question has been roisod.
as to federal ofice holders taking
part in party mattors.
10 seems absurd that Office
holders should be kept out Of
politics; and again, there is a pos.
sibnity that they may get into
the matter too deeply The pres
emit discussion, however, ia in re.
gard 70 the office holders staying
entirely ont Of politics.
Any man who holds o govern.
ment position has at least a reas
enable amount of brains, as our
Uncle sam IS not ia the habit of
employing the feeble minded to
transact his business. Again,
the man who gets a federal ap
must have some
friends who are respected, and
who are of prominence. A
federal appointment of import
ance is not had just for the ask
ing. The candidate must show
evidence that the people want
him. The federal Office holder
is evidently honest, as it is a well
known fact that the government
does not keep q loose set of books,
and any crooked work on the
part Of employees is promptly
attended to.
1t is generally known that
Missouri is a doubtful State, and
the efforts of every Republican
are needed to bring it over to the
right side, so why should these
thousands Of able men be kept
out Of the fight, and told that
they are not supposed to do any
thing but keep stillf
These office holders are mer

Saturday Evening Post asked

received about 1--WE Thousand
answers, making onthe whole a
symposium Of which Roosevelt
may well be proud Of.
The question was answered by
bankers, merchants, lawyers,
doctors, clerks and farmers
living in every part Of the United
States. With a few exceptions,
says the Post editorially, these
letters brush aside the idea that
Roosevelt is q menance TO bus

Among the many who endor-
sed the methods of Roosevelt,
may be mentioned, Henry Clews
the leading New York banker
and John Wanamaker the great
merchant.
No one doing a legitimate bus
mess will say that Roosevelt is a
meuance to business. But those
engaged in financial transactions,
the assets of which are largely
wind and water, are only too glad
for an excuse to put the blame
of the recent stress in the hnan.

leaving South Chicago the entire last

There is no doubt but what 'Olsky''
will make good, as he stood up against
some of the best semi-pro hitters in
the city league last year and during
the whole season no batter succeeded
in getting more than a two Dagger

HIGH SCHOOL YOUNGSTERS
MAY BE SUSPENDED

The members of the South Chicago
senior class have started their annual
pranks again. Yesterday the skeleton
was stolen from the laboratory and
was latter strung up in the wardrobe,
where 1t remained for several hours
until found by the principal, Mr..
Parker.
After removing the skeleton from
the ceiling the principal began an IN
vestigation which may eventually re-
suit in the suspension of three OF the
high school lads implicated.
The skeleton was dressed in an old
suit which is said to have belonged to
one OF the boys and bore large pla-
card with the name Derpa upon it. Mr..
Parker was very indignant over the
action of the boys in doing this, and
Several have been on the carpet as
the result.

comedy with half a dozen clever come

chorus introducing some catchy song
numbers and new stage novelties, came
to the Calumet theater Thursday light
for three days stay and delighted the
audience.
The piece is -uproariously funnsy and
very neatly presented. 1t might be
trmed Jungle musical extravaganza

querades as the Rajah, is a scream.
Arthur Kherns is a Dutch comedian of
ability and his stunt of leading the or
