UNIQUE METHOD OF SELECT,
ING POSTMASTER.

That was a unique method employed
by Representative Hamilton Fish IN Sc
Iecting a postmaster for Fishkill Land
ing. y Y This always troublesome
problem presented It's usual difficulties
when Mr.. Fish undertook, a few weeks
ago, to ascertain from the local political
leaders the name Of the man they
favored for the POstOfice- They could
not agree, and finally the unusual plan
Of leaving the selection to the citizens
was hit upon This was suggested by
Mr. Fish and agreed to by the contend
ing factions, with the result that on
Tuesday an informal election was held
for the purpose Of permitting the Peo-
pie of the little city TO decide by ballot
who should be their postmaster
1t Is reported that the result Is salts
factory TO all concerned and will leave
no sore spots. There were four appli-
eants for postmaster and the public IN
dorsement went to a Iiveryman BY a
margin Of 81 votes Thus Mr.. Fish
was relieved of the burden of making
the choice and thereby alternating the
disappointed candidates and their
friends, while the defeated applicants

PURPOSES OF ASSOCIATED
CHARITIES MISUNDERSTOOD.

Another evidence Of misconception
Of the purposes and principles of opera
ton Of the Associated Charities was
furnished Wednesday evening in the
speech Of John B. Mccarthy before the
Oldest Inhabitants Association. Mr..
Mccarthy severely arraigned the As
ISOLATED Charities and its officers be
cause of alleged failure to give TO
needy, Porr people, and because what
he considers too much money Is used
IN the payment Of salaries.
Unfortunately there exists quite
general misunderstanding Of the work
Of the Associated Charities. even among
men and women Of intelligence, who
should be well informed on the subject
The purpose Of the institution Is not
to relieve cases of distress By giving
money OF supplies outright, but to help
people who are IN need TO help them
selves. Il has been demonstrated that
20 give 20 the poor without requiring
some return OF promise Of return Is
bad for the benefciaT as themselves and
for the community IN which they live
It tends to make them dependents. and
to discourage them IN efforts to help
themselves. IF they can be led into
a better condition through the direc-
tion Of their own energies by such
society a. the Associated Charities
there Is hope that they may be made
supporting Once they are pauper-
lied by the acceptance Of direct charity.
their seIf-7espect and seIf-confdenoe Is
threatened. and they are IN danger Of
becoming permanent public charges.
The efforts OF the Associated Chart
ties are directed chiefly toward reclaim
ing the unfortunate, for their own sake.
and for the sake Of the community In
extreme cases. where absolutely neces-
saTv, immediate direct assistance Is
given.
The charge Of Mr.. Mccarthy concern
ing salaries also arises from misuuder-
standing. Of course the Associated
Charities pays salaries 10 its officers.
No method has vet been discovered BY
which effective labor can be obtained
without compensation It Is eminentlv
proper that sufficient money be spent
in the employment Of administrative
officials TO make certain that the work
at hand be well performed. IF the
business Of the society were merely the
doing out Of money, food. and fuel It
might be possible 70 hire officers for
less than the present officers receive.
But the business IS much more com
plicated and important, and requires
much more intelligence and experience
The basis upon which 10 determine
the proper salary for such an official
Is found IN the degree Of success with
which he carries out the purposes Of the
Institution Carried to its final concIu-
sion, the most efficient organization Of
this character would be the one which
spends al the funds at its command IN
administration and none IN giving d.
rectly TO the poor It would be the
greatest success because It would be
helping unfortunate people to become
supporting citizens and would not
be destroying self-respect and making
paupeTs Tor the community 10 sUpport

POLITICAL DRIFT IN LIGHT
OF RECENT ELECTIONS.

/ he elections held in various Tu1Jniri-
pahties IN different parts Of he coun-
try this week are being explained in all
manner OF ways. Democrats seize unoD
them as indicating an unmigta Ia BE
trend OF things IN the direction Of
Democratic victory. Republicans arc
emphasizing the idea that local causes
were at work and that there Is 4
growing tendency to non-partieansbin

On the whole, impartial eonsidera-

election Of Eugene y Foss in the -Four

ANOTHER THEATER
FOR Ell PASO. MAYBE
Promoters Plan to Secure a
Large Room Back of
Pioneer Plaza.

Ell PGsO may have another popular
priced theater. The large room in the
rear Of the Plaza block which was for
merly occupied by the FL Paso Print
ing company is being considered as a
location for 3 moving picture and
vaudeville theater as soon as the Mills
building is completed The building
is now being used as a store house
and carpenter shop by the contractors
of the new building but will be vacated
as soon as the new building is under
roof.
The proposed plan of converting the
room into a theater is to put a new
front in il to face the alley which is
to be widened from Pioneer Plaza to
the st. Regis hotel. passing directly
in front of the building that is to be
remodeled. A stage and a raised floor
will be built and an entrance to the
theater built to open on this passage
way.
