Wester|v's Postmaster Appointed
Charles J. Butler Confirmed In OficePrize Winners High School Graduation-Afred Carlson Again Vio

 turning Home from Backus Hospital.

Charles J. Butler is to be appointed
 postmaster at Westerly to succeed the
 late Walter Price and the action of the appointing power is received with gen. eraI approval by all who have business
 with the local postofice. Soon after
 the death of Mir. Price, ten days ago, Mr. Butler was designated as acting postmaster and announced himself as candidate for the vacant position, his principal opponent for the place being Senator Louis W. Arnold, local party leader and claSsed among the leading politicians of the state, as well as business man of prominence.
 MT. Butler received a communication from Congressman Capron Tuesday night informing him that he was to receive the appointment as postmaster and that official appointment would be received within a day two. Sena- tor Arnold received information to the same effect and was the first to send in which he paid deserved compliment, stating that as he could not get the place himself he would prefer MT. But Ter to any resident of Westerly.
 Mir Butler was born in Birkenhead d, England, April 25, 1866. When he was two years old his parents came to this country and located in Irvington. N. Y, and three years later in Westerly, where MT. Butler has resided for thir- ty-seven years. He attended the pub lie schools until he was Is years of age and then entered the employ of the New England granite works as an en- gineer. of which plant his brother Rob- ert is now manager. He continued work as an engineer until 1891, when he was appointed assistant postmaster by Postmaster Samuel H. Cross, con- tfnHng in that position ever since by reappointment by Postmasters William P. Clancy and Walter Price, being in his twentieth year of continuous ser vice.

Swinging back around the circuit,
through Denver. and passing from
Colorado into Kansas, the most i'm
portant enunciation OF HIS trip came
at Osawatomie, Kan. There he de-
clared that the nation was facing a
crisis as grave as that which pre-
ceded the Civil war, and there he
outlined at greatest length his the
ory Of what he thought ought to be
done about 1t.
This led to his plea for a new
nationalism" to deal more effective
ly with such questions as control OF
corporations and the conservation OF
natural resources.
In Kansas City he urged a federal
act to regulate the compensation OF
workingmen. In Iowa he, for the
first time, mentioned the Taft Ad
ministration, commencing the presi
dents stand for a tariff commission
At Fargo, N. D., he declared himself
in hearty sympathy with organized
labor. and at the same time warned
the unions that they must Oppose
lawless violence.
At the following day In st. Pau

than heretofore the control OF tn

AN OLD SETTLER
TALKS FOREST FIRES
w. j. Winner Gives His Opinions
and Relates Some of His
Experiences.

Dear Courier: With regard to for
est fires I wish to submit that the
only question involved is this: When
shall we have them? Past expert
ence plainly proves that we will
have them; the real question is when
and how shall we have them.
The only way to prevent them Is
to forever bar all accidental fires
an utter impossibility. Stop the
lightning, and hang all bullet-headed
| hoodlums and other equally ire
sponsible trash who knowing of the
widespread disapproval of the gov
ernment's silly present policy think
1t is smart to set the woods on fire.
The government following out its
present plans of preventing forest
fires will succeed only when all the
timber has been destroyed and there
is no pitch charged inflammable
material accommodating on the ground
to burn.
Any man who has lived long In the
forests knows that there is time
in the spring when fires will burn
on the ridges, but will not burn In
the canyons; he knows that the
ridges can be burnt out first and
then the canyons when the fire VIII
