WHY SHOULD POLITICS BAR?

WHY SHOULD POLITICS BAR?
st. Cloud Times If the people
asked to elect postmaster, why
should politics bar any aspirant?
In his long letter explaining his
position, which. by the way, IS about
as ambiguous as an explanation we'll
could be, Mr.. LlndbeTgh quotes ap
provingly Postmaster General Cortel-
you as saying:
'Postmasters of the country should
be appointed bv no party primarily as
rewards tor political activity, but
primarily on basis OF titness>for tile
work and a regard for the wishes of
the communities to be served
1t mo party is to be considered,
but only fitness for the work and a
regard for wishes Of the communities
to be served then, certainly,
democrats are eligible in the choice of
postmasters under Mr.. Llndbergh s
plan of popular elections.
We have that some popular Little
Falls democrat, whose fitness is
beyond question, will become candl-
date. Let it be made a test case, and
let it be determined whether Mr..
Llndbergh wishes to consult ''the
wishes of the communities, = or only
the desires Of part of the same,
oftentlmes a minority Of the patrons
of the Offices. 81

THE INSPECTION OF POSTOF-
FTCES la

Todd County Argus: Acc0IdlngEto
the facts presented by Mr.. Lindbegh,
the inspection department has been
used evidently to punish some post
masters and reward others. During
the four years C. B. Buckman served
as congressman, the handling Of ap-
pointments was exceedingly rank In
order to hold a pOstoffice Of any impor-
tance the official had to become ser
want of the congressman. Those whose
manhood rebelled at this were quietly
dropped for no cause through the in.
spectiOn route: So smoothly did this
work that it seems to have been con-
tinued during Mr.: Llndbergh's term,
and against his protest The depart
nent relies upon its inspectors to as
certain how the various Offices are con-
Quoted and when a detailed report is
sent in, it cannot but be accepted as
that it IS not. Generally the postmas.
ters is refused d hearing, unless he has
powerful friends at court, and he is
dismissed. This gives great power to
a dishonest and venal inspector, and
1t is not surprising that among all the
men in this department there should
be some who have an itching palms al
ways ready to be creased. There IS
evidently urgent need of overhauling
the inspection torce but when that is
attempted the power behind the sub
servient inspector is aroused as it is
not desired to disturb this very con-
venlent seat of power. It President
Roosevelt could be reliably informed
of the real conditions in this district
there would be something doing in
short order, but it is not easy to reach
him through the various and numerous
departments. 49,.

MORGAN HORSES AT STATE FAIR
Biggest Showing Of Any Yet Seen
In New England.

White River junction, VT, Aug. %
Breeders of Morgan Horses in other
States. who have obtained their fonn
dalton stock in Vermont, are to show
their horses at the State fair at White
River junction, September q, y, y
and "a.
Among these Morgan horses breed.
ers who have notified the State far
commission of their intention to be
present are Joseph C.. Brunk Of Roches-
ter. Illinois, who will bring carload
of Morgans some of them winners at
the ST. Louis Exposition OF 1904, and
A. r. Van Tassel of Dubois, Pa, who
will bring Bob Morgan, perhaps as
famous n Morgan sire as any now lv-
ing, with number of his sons and
daughters. 1t is also expected that
the famous Bayside Farm of Roehes
ter. New York, will bring number of
well known Morgans.
The struggle for the supremacy at
this great show of Morgan horses,
between breeders from outside OF
Vermont and breeders of this State,
will be well worth seeing. as the Nor
gan horse men of Vermont will be out
III greater force and number than
year ago.
An automobile trip, by an admlrer
and friend of the Morgan horse, has

that all were engaged in polishing up

One OF the most important lines Of

therefore, 10 establish series OF ex.

with different distance of spacing

may soon have one more which will be unique in that its purpose will be to discover a vanished brook A justice of the supreme court, who was petitiOned to find the brook, which has not been seen for many years, and may have gotten any where by now, feeling himself un- equal to the novel task, suggested that a commission be appointed to do so. The curious situation arises from the fact that a dozen persons who own property in the Bronx can mot determine, where that property begins or ends. All their deeds refer to the little stream as a boundary When it was really serving this pur- pose the runaway rivulet was known as DOughty's or CromwelFs brook, as is evidenced by references not only in the deeds themselves, but also in other contempOraneous literature. It is so many years since the brook moved away that far from being able to find 1t, the involved prop erty owners cannot even locate its bed. Until this is done none of the property can be sold, and it Is prob able that in order to make this pos sible geologists will be called in to locate, with the aid of excavators, the former course of the stream.
