But Popular Official Will Re-
main in Charge as E. N.
Haas, the Appointee, Has
Not Been Nominated.
CAUSE OF THE DELAY
IS NOT YET PUBLIC
Mr.. Haas Is Not Surprised as
He Says Such Delays Are
Frequently the Case
Spekenhier's Record.

The time of John Albert Spekenhier,
as postmaster of the local office, ex-
pires tonight at midnight. But mas
much as President Taft has not acted
on the recommendation OF Congress-
man w. O. Barnard. that E. M. Haas,
at present secretary of the CONNER
cial club. be appointed to the office.
Mr.. Spekenhier will have to continue
in office until his successor is appoint
ed and commissioned.
The cause Of President Taft's delay
In acting upon the matter is very per-
picking to the local politicians and
others interested in the matter. 1t Is
said that the postal department Off
cials often counsel the president to
delay appointments OF postmasters,
until the department officials have
had time to investigate and consult
with the chief executive on the mat
ter. This may be the explanation for
the delay here, but nothing authoritive
Is known.
A Statement BY Haas.
Mr.. Haas stated this noon that he
had heard nothing from Washington,
except that his name had been pre-
sented to the department. He does
not seem surprised at the fact that
he has not been officially appointed
and commissioned. He stated that it
was nothing out of the ordinary for
q mil -
missions for several days or weeks,
after the postmasters terms expire.
Congressman Barnard presented the
name of Mr.. Haas as his appointee for
postmaster for the local office, to the
department last winter. There his
name has remained on file, never hav-
Ing been presented to the senate for
confirmation by the president.
In speaking of the custom here. Mr..
Haas stated that Daniel Surface was
not succeeded in office by Mr.. Spe-
kenhier until July and that Mr.. Sur
face did not succeed his predecessor
until the same time. In this way, Mr..
Haas accounts for the delay in his ap-
pointment.
Makes Fine Record.
The record made by Mr.. Spekenhier
while postmaster. is not surpassed by
that OF any of his predecessors. It is
generally believed that he was one OF
the most efficient officials ever In
charge of the local post office, and it
is true that he has more thoroughly
organized the office. than it ever wa<
before.
From q business standpoint, Mr..
Spekenhier has been q hustler. Dur
ing his administration, the receipts
each year have grown larger and larg-
er and each years record has been
better than any proceeding year.
When he took the office. four years
ago, the yearly receipts for the office
were averaging approximately $50. 900.
The fiscal year which ended March 81,
showed gain OF nearly $4,000 over
the proceeding period and the total
amount was more than $4,000.

is civil engineering.
Britton's taste in dress and the pre-

some of the spectators during lis trial
to mistake him for one of the attor-

The first step in the war against
school epidemics is the knowledge
and belief on the part of both par
ents and teachers that children's dis
eases are not necessary. The old
superstition should be discounten-
anced that every child must run the
scale OF children's diseases, that
every child must sooner or later have
whooping cough, measles, chickenpox,
humps, scarlet fever. People used
to think that yellow fever, cholera.

we know better The price of ignor-
ance of the truth that these other
diseases now thought to be neces-
sary attendants upon childhood has
been great, has brought about a loss
OF school advantages, and has result
ed ofttimes in permanent physical de-
fects, loss of vitality and for the
great army Of children under school
age death before reaching five years
of age.
How to Guard Against These Dis
eases.
The method of protecting children
from children's diseases has the merit
of being a common-sense and rational
procedure. First of all, the charac.
