Take the Post-Office
Out of Politics

In attempting to charge up the deficit in his
Department against the magazines the Postmaster
General has done the country genuine, even if an
unintentonaf, service He has drawn attention to
the necessity for thorough reorganization of the
Postal Department. He has emphasized the i'm
portance of taking the Post-Ofice out of politics
for all time.
The Fifty-ninth Congress authorized an inves-
tgation of postal affairs, and joint commission,
headed by Senator Penrose and Representative
Overstreet, made thorough investigation of the
whole subject. AS result, the Overstreet bill,
which contains many excellent recommendations,
was presented. 1t is not from guesswork that we
have concluded that the Department is in need of
radical reorganization, but from the official reports
of this Joint Congressional Postal Commission
and of the disnterested accountants hired by it
investigate the business methods of the Depart
ment. We quote from these reports, remember
ing that the findings and criticisms not ours,
but those of Congressional Commission and its
authorized agents. First read these recommends

Postal Commission, in this weeks number of

II had eczema on my hands for ten
years. had three good doctors but
none Of them did any good. / then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment and
three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and
was completely cured. My hands were
raw all over, inside and out, and the
eczema was spreading all over my body
and limbs. Before l had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticnra Oint-
.ment. my sores were nearly healed over.
and by the time I had used the third
bottle. was entirely we'll. TO any one
who has any skin or blood disease I
would honestly advise them to fool with
nothing else, but to get Cuticura and
get we'll. My hands have never given
me the least bit OF trouble up to now.
my daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema. She
could get nothing that would do them
any good until she tried Cuticura. She
used Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura
Ointment and in two weeks they were
entirely cured. have used Cuticura for

The books of the city clerk show that
the number of dogs which have thus
far been licensed this spring is about
go. The estimated dog population of
the city is rising 600, so that it would
seem from the above figures that quite
goodly proportion Of the local ca
mines are living on borrowed time, or in
other words have become outlaws, as
the time prescribed by law for them to
be licensed has long since expired.
There have been nc. executions of I'M

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The passenger station of the Seaport
Railroad at Frankfort was destroyed
by fire early Thursday morning and it
is not known how the conflagration
started. The freight house was saved
without damage. There is insurance
to the amount of $4,000 on the property,
but it is said that this won't cover the
loss.
City Marshal Beatty of Saco after
persistent questioning of six sAlbanians,
held in connection with the accidental
death of Ernestine Townsend, who was
shot Tuesday night through the win
dow of her home, has broken down
their denial of doing any shooting that
evening". 'They have admitted,"f said
he, that they were using revolver,
firing at a bottle for target. When
they had broken this it is probable that
wild shots were fired and one of these
passed through the window of the
Townsend house about $50 yards dis
tant."

pleased to know that she is gaining.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-08-05

Senator Bristow, the Republi-
can insurgent, is after his col
league, Senator Aldrich, the
Standard Oil standpatter and
all-round worker Of politics for
all there is in it. This induces
the Appeal to Reason to inject
a little salt and pepper into the
raw spots.
Bristow, it says, charges Aid
rich with increasing the tariff
on rubber and then in collusion
with Guggenheim and Ryan with
organizing the rubber trust, max
ing his son vice president and
general manager of the concern,
and skinning the people, the
sovereigns and patriots he is
supposed to represent in the
senate, out of millions of dollars.
The Aldrich gang placed prac-
tically a prohibitlve tariff on
rubber articles and then raised
domestic prices to suit them
selves, raking in a harvest Of
dollars from the fools who shout
for protection" and vote the
republican ticket to secure it.
Bristow denounces this act of
Aldrich in raising the tariff on
rubber and then organizing the
rubber trust with a capital stock
of forty million of dollars, and
making his son the general man
ager of it, as "a legislative
crime" 1t is even worse than
