PosToFFICE DEPARTMENT. TO
ADOPT NEW PLAN.
MATHEMATICAL INSTEAD
OF POLITICAL PROPOSITION
Want All Postoffiee Buildings Erect
ed in Future to be of Plain Red
Brick and Situated rs Near to De-
pot as Possible.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The build
ing of monumental postosfices will
soon be a thing of the past. The
house for the handling of the mails
Will no longer be located on the
principal corner of hundreds of
cities east and west. north and
south, across the country. A con-
gresham is no longer to be judged
by the size and number of appropri-
ations he can get for postoffices.
That is, the old order of things is
to pass away If the postoffice de-
partment prevails upon congress TO
adopt it's recommendations.
POLITICS ELIMINATED.
The building OF postofffces, ac-
cording to the departments pro-
gram, is to be made mathematical
instead of political proposition.
Granite and marble are to give way
to plain red bricks. There will be
no more attempt at ornamentation
than in the building of a warehouse.
Instead of buying about the most ex-
pensive sites to be had, the govern
ment in the future will locate Dost-
Offices near railway stations. where
the mails can be handled most ex-
pedfously and at lowest cost. AS
tho cost of individual buildings will
be cut way down, it will be possible
TO build more buildings. The de-
partment hopes congress will per
NIT it to determine the order i'm
which cities shall be given new
buildings, without regard to whose
congressional district the cities ham
pen to be In. 1t is admitted that
under such a system congressman
would lose whatever advantages they
may have enjoyed I'm the past
through securing federal buildings
Tor the cities OF their districts, but
the department points out that they
also would be freed from whatever
resentment cities which did not get
buildings might feel.
AS a starter. it is proposed to
HdVe the washington city postofffce
moved from the granite edifice it
now occupies on Pennsylvania ave
nue. to a warehouse-like building
near the new union station. The
space now occupied by the city post.
ofhce will be turned over to the
postoffce department, which is
housed in the same building, and
which is sadly in need of room

Future Of Senator LaFoIIette.

Reports have it that Senator La
Toilette Is going TO abandon the re-
publican party with which he has os'
tensibly been affiliated for some time,
and which has made him governor
twice and senator once, and become
the leader OF Mr. Hearst's person
ally financed independence party. II
Is difficult to believe the report, and
IL would hardly be worth commenting
upon except for the fact that while it
has been printed in Washington and
New York papers, Senator LaFolletta
has sequestered himself and refused
audiences to even his best friends
His private secretary informs all call
ers that he is preparing speech
under adverse circumstances and can
not pay attention TO what newspapers
are saying of him. This is a new
attitude for the senator to take, as
a rule he has paid very friendly at
tention TO what the newspapers said.
In default OF any direct statement
OF Senator LaFollette himself, one
must be inclined to doubt the truth
of the assertion that he is going to
tie himself TO William r. Hearst
Nothing in the past that Hearst has
done has been friendly to LaFol
lette. One can search the Hearst
newspaper in vain for years past
without discovering any applause for
the Wisconsin leader OF the republi-
can party. 1t is true that nobody can
change front faster than Hearst, but
the men who looked upon LaFollette
