Taboo Women Typists.

Washington, July 21.-Women stem
ographers apparently no longer are
wanted in the government service.
This announcement was made today
at the civil service commission in an
effort to put stop to steadily in
creasing flood of letters from women
throughout the country who seek in
formation about an examination for
stenographers to be held next Tuesday
in all the states and territories. Prac-
tcally all the various departments of
the government are seeking to replace
women stenographers with men, on
the ground that the latter are more
amenable to discipline, are more easily
transferred to places where their SER
vices are needed, and can more read
lily be drafted into other kinds OF
work

HOW DOES THIS LOOK?
Cruce Has Lead Of More Than Two 20
One In Choctaw Nation.

Everybody wants TO know how ev-
erybody else is going to vote in the
coming election and the race for gov
ernor has so overshadowed all other
elections that for many of the offices
the average voter cannot tell who IS
in the running and they have no idea
about whom they will cast their vote.
1t is becoming quite popular now TO
poll the trains and democrats vote as
eagerly on the governors as they VIII
on the 2nd of the month. The Frisco
yesterday was polled at Il left Durant
going east. The vote stood for Cruce
IS, for Murray Z, for Ross and IL
republicans did not vote. On Rock
Island train in the Choctaw nation TO-
day another poll was taken and the re-
suit gave Cruce 5, Murray ), Ross 2
and four republicans not voting.
This particular portion Of the sta,c
has been claimed all the time by the
Murray forces. If be has any strength
in the state it is in that section where
reside some Indian politicians, wh,~
are pushing Ms cause and it ecms.
that even there Murray has no. the.
strength reputed TO him.

CUT DOWN INDIAN RATlONS.
Government Intends Making Indian
Hustle Some.

Washington, July 21.-ln pursuance
of its aims to raise the Indian TO the
plane of independence occupied by his
compeers of other races, the bureau cf
Indian affairs will materially decrease
the ratons to be distributed among
the red men this year,
The officials are engaged in appor
tioning the Indian appropriation for
the current year and will reduce he
number of Indians receiving gratuities
from the government from 10 to } per
cent. This year the rations, it is said,
will be confined largely TO aged and
INDECENT Indians.
The Indian bureau believes that in
decreasing the rations so far as pos
sible. it is lending a helping hand to
the Indian in his combat for self-sup-
port. The goal which the officials see
in the not distant future is a total
abolition of these gratuities.
Last year 1865 Indians received ra-
tions at cost of $312,142. This cost
it is expected, will be decreased by
S2S.O33 this year, and the officials
claim that the decrease would have
been much greater had it not been
for increased cost of living.

Member l. League Should Not In
dc ,ndidates.


Guthrie, Okla Ii 21-Rev. w. S.
Wiley of Muskog. member of the
board of directors o. the Anti-Saloon
league, gave out statement here to-
day in which he criticises the leagues
action in indorsing any candidates for
office, claiming, in the first place, that
without some expression from the
membership of the league, which is
composed of the churches of the state.
it was impossible for the directors to
know what their sentiment is. and also
taking the position that in view OF the
fact that the resubmission fight is
close at hand, it would be hazardous
to take any stand with regard to can
didates for governor at this time,
needing as we will the united strength
of all our forces in order to defeat the
Sons of Washington in the resubmis-
sion campaign" He takes pains to de-
clare that his action is not taken in the
interest of any candidate, but rather
for the good of the cause.

eral months on a charge Of being i'm
piicated in extensive freight robberies,
has been acquitted. according to ad-

the American, has appealed to a higher
court and Cook will have TO go through
another trial.

No Proof Needed.

Proof Of this last statement is not neces-
sary These observations are written by
way of an appeal to Congress for justice
to the Government employees In Wash
ington, and members of Congress, living
a good share of every year in Washing
ton, do not, need proof. Their own expe-
rience viii have been complete and CON
vinciHg on that point.
Serving the public, while living in
Washington, Is a mighty expensive bust
ness. Congress has recognized that by
increasing the salaries of Senators and
Representatives from $4,000 to $500 a
year.
But charwomen at $3.50 a year have not
been advanced.
Congress has recognized that living in
Washington Is expensive, by raising the
salary of the President from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year, and in addition giving him
an allowance of $4,000 for travelling
expenses.
But the great classification of clerks at

/ tors who could be so courageous about
recognizing and remedying injustice to
themselves, it appeals for a ike recogni-
ton and remedying of the conditions in
the classified service in the Washington
departments.
Every argument that could possibly be
made for giving Congressman and Sena-
tors and lieutenant colonies and Supreme
Judges and army engineers more pay.
applies with tenfold more force to the
great army of clerical workers
To say this is not to suggest that condi-
tons in the executive departments are
such that the proper remedy can be
applied by the simple expedient Of a
horizontal revision of salary schedules
upward There are complications and
complexities about the problem which
make it vastly more difficult than that.
Neither can the solution be reached bv
any such simple expedient as is often sug-
gested, to "cut out the deadwood in these
departments, and get down to business
basis"
1t Is all well enough to talk aIr1iy about
cutting out the deadwood,' but to go
about it, as surgeon does with his knife
to amputate limb, is not humanity pos
sible. No department head is going to
recommend, and no Congress is going to
adopt, policy which would turn out hun
dreds Of men and women who have been
faithful servants, to become the victims
of starvation or the subjects of charity.
The first thing that must be done Is,
decently, humanely, gradually, to retire
people of impaired efficiency, under some
plan which viii assure that they can
maintain themselves In comfort
The next thing is to formulate condi-
tions of employment, of promotion, of
payment, and of retirement when the
period of efficiency is passed, which will
assure that in future the work of the
departments shall never again be embar-
raised, and their personnel clogged by
an overplus of workers of impaired
efficiency.
To carry out these two necessary
reforms means that In some way OF other
people who have grown old In the depart
ments under the bad conditions now exist
ing must be retired on pensions or
annuities somehow provided by the
Government.

Pensions Necessary.

Perhaps it viii be necessary for the
public treasury to provide The entire
amount devoted to such fund perhaps
it viii be possible on the otHar hand TO
develop a plan by which the Government
may contribute part and the remaining
employees the remainder of such fund.
Certain it is that if anything like proper
efficiency is to be restored and maintained
in the departments such fund must be
provided.
And for the future, provision must be
made that will compel retirement when
the period of useful service is passed, on
such terms as viii assure that the aged
and welI-deserving workers in the hum
bier ranks Of the great civil army are
not to be turned out in their last days to
choose between charity and suffering.
