A Democratic oninion

Any legislation on the liquor ques,
ton that does not provide for higl
license limitation of the number OF
saloons, and rigid regulation of the
liquor traffic need not be expected to
meet the popular demand Of the
times. Public sentiment on that sub.
ject is ~deep-seated and determined
~Temporizing will not be co~untenanced
Legislators and leaders may as well
understand this now as to be taught
later. This entire subject has been
we'll settled in the public mind, and
those by whom action is to be taken
should lose no time in adjusting them
selves to existing conditions and pre-,
vailing public sentiment South

sion of the two camps in the house OF
representatives..

Of armament and the house leaders
expect these measures to bring on
night session in the house soon after
congress after the Christ
mas holidays. Christmas Tawney,
of the house committee on ~appropria-
tions is already marshaling facts aud
figures with which to combat each of
those bills which it is expected will
carry a material increase for anna.
ment this year.
President Taft's speech in Wash.
ington Saturday night in which he
minimized the war scare talk but at
the same time committed himself to
a reasonable increase in armament,
has outlined the plan of battle which
will be waged in congress this win
ter. The speech is accepted by the adj
vocates of additional armament as an
endorsement of their demands.
Representative John A. T. Hull of
Iowa who for many years has been
chairman of the house committee on
military affairs and is one of the best
posted lawmen on the army in the
country, today came out fatty for an
increase in the number of officers in
the army and for IN increase in the
field artillery and reserve ammuni-
tion. Mr. Hull has no idea that the
United States is facing a war in the
immediate future but he believes that
the national defenses need bracing
up badly.

efficient supervisory officers have re.
ceived no promotion since their ap.
pointment although they are subject.
ed to greater responsibilities than the
subordinate employees, greater ex-
penses and longer workin- hours.
The entire amount requested for the
promotion of supervisory officers is
about $4,000.
1t Is recommended too, that pro-
vision be made for the promotion to
higher grades and increased salaries
of expert distributors of mail in var.
ious offices. 1t is pointed ont that
the services Of these men are invalu-
able and that they are difficult to re-
place when they leave the service.
Liability Of Accident
An urgent recommendation is made
that in the event of the death of a
p~ostofice clerk in the line of his duty
provision be made for the payment
of a reasonable sum to his heirs,
precisely as now is done in the event
of the death of a railway postal clerk
IN the line of duty. 1t is shown that
the increasing use of labor saving
machinery in the mordern city post
office makes greater the liability of
accidents. In the Office at New York
alone four employees have been killed
and GA incapacitated since 1908, as
the result of injuries received in the
performance of their duty, yet it has
not been possible for tile department
to Oxford them or their families any
assistance.

Would Bankrupt Indiana

If the coming legislature would
heed all the requests coming from
different associations of public officers
for higher salaries the Indiana treas
ury would be bankrupt. The latest
move is to pension school teachers.
During the past few weeks it seems
as though every late association has
held a meeting and launched some
new scheme to draw more pay. OF
course the general assembly will be
compelled to ignore the majority if
not all of the requests.

Over Two Thousand Post ofices
Were Closed In the Country
During the Past
Year.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Dr. Charles
p. Grandfeld first assistant post
master general in his annual report
submitted today to Postmaster Gen,
eral Hitchcock shows that the num-
Der of p~ostofices in operation on
June, 80, 1910, was 50,58O. The gross
revenue of the postal service during
the fiscal year amounted TO 1924
128,657.62, an increase of $20,566,-
|267.55. The expenditures for the
year aggregated $229,97 w ,224.5O, an
increase of S ,973,121.5O. The deficit
was $5,S4S,566.88, as compared with
$17,44l, 1882 for the preceding year,
Although the business of the postal
service increased during the last ifs
cal year more than 10 per cent the
expenditures decreased from an aver
age of SOC per cent for each Of the
ten years preceding to 4.06 per cent
in 1910.
The number of postoffices establish
ed during the year was 1900 and the
number discontinued 2,073. AT pres
idential Offices 1876 postmasters
were appointed and at fourthclass
Offices 9,428 ~postmasters were APP
pointed.
The net increase in the expenditure
for postofice clerks during the year
was $4,000, making the total ex-
penditures $31 ,5S3,5S7; for letter car.
riers the net increase was $1,850,825
resulting in an aggregate cost of $780,
392, 92S which was $16,047 less in
1910 than in the previous fiscal year.
The policy of the department to
make no changes in postmasters SO
long as their services were satisfac-
tory was followed uniformly through
out the country during the year.
To Adjust Salaries
An urgent recommendation is made
that the department be given author
ity properly to adjust the salaries of
assistant postmasters. Under the
present system it frequently happens
that an assistant postmaster receives
a smaller salary than some of the
clerks whose work he s~upervises. The
department has estimated appropria-
tions to adjust this anomalous con-
dition.
1t also is urged in the report that
somewhat increased salaries be pro-
vided for supervisory employees, in
GLIDING superintendent, assistant
superintendent and foremsn some of
whom now receive less in salary than
is received by some clerks and letter
carriers. 1t is pointed out that many

They Had One On Tom

Tom Dalgity arrived back from the states on a recent boat, whith- CT he had gone as guard over blind Charley, the native recently ad- judged insane. While in Port land Tom met brother whom he hadn't seen for several years, and the brother of course being anxious to give him a good time, took him in tow to show him the sights. One of of the places visited was the club of which the Portlander was a member. Tom was of course in- troduced to everybody in sight who vied with each other to make the Alaskan's visit agreeable. Tom accepted of their hospitality for a time and then concluded that it was up to him to 'blow back.
 Its my turn now, gentlemen, . said Tom, 'have one on me. " The waiter was called and inform ed that they were all to drink with the gentleman from Alaska. Out he went, and returned w1ile Tom was telling one of his best stories. The latter had almost reached the climax of the story when he noticed that the waiter had returned and had placed a bottle ot the best champagne before each one of the crowd. Tom doesn't remember whethsr he ever finished the story or not, as he started to figure out what the round of drinks would cost him, but he was game, paid the bill when it was handed to him, and was mighty thankful that he had bought a round trip ticket when he started.

Submarine Bells

Having equipped 48 of it's light vessels with submarine bells, the lighthouse board at Washington Is considering the feasibility of giv- ing Alaska navigators additional aids by placing these bells in north ern waters, which are poorly buoy ed and lighted. It is estimated that these bells can be installed for about a4,5oo each, and ts.ey are said to give good satisfaction.
 Points in Southeastern Alaska. at present without any equipment, are recommended for the submar- inc bell, as follows: Ship island, Clarence strait, Wrangell harbor; Strait Island; Point Alexander, south end of Mitkof Island: Cape Strait, on the Lindenberg reninsu- Ia; Yasha island, southern end of Admiralty island; Turnabout is- land, Frederick sound; Midway is- land, Stephens passage; Marion is- land, southeast corner of Douglas island; Rock island. at junction of Lynn canal and Icy strait; Little island, in Lynn canal.-Railway and Marine News.

Falls Overheard

Jim Hanson, a fisherman, ar rived ia town from Shakan on the last Uncle Dan, with the news that Sam Matthewson. the owner of the yawl Restless had fallen overheard and been drowned. It appears that the two men were on board the boat off Cape St. Altans, Kuiu Is- land, on February 10, with gale blowing and a big sea running when Matthewson slipped and fell overheard, and befo-e his partner could heaye the boat to, had disap- peared, and though he tried his best, Hansen could not find him  again, Seeing that he could do nothing there, Hansen put the boat before the wind and headed for Shakan but lost his direction and brought up under the lee of Seven Mile Point on Koscuioski Island, where he dropped his anchor. It held for a time, but the wind and seas increased, parting the cable, and the boat piled up on the rocks.
 Hansen managed to reach the shore in safety, and later went to Shakan and reported the matter.
