ment is a reward for his aid in
preparing the defense of Fallinger
during the recent inquiry; while
Gen. Marshall's appointment seems
to be intended to deprive Mr..
Newell of his authority,
Senator Southland says he has
been offered an appointment ON
the United States supreme court.
Senator Southland is one of the
Mormon church.
Why does the postmaster gen.
eral advocate penny postage when
he says there is every need for
more revenue? The only answer
to the question. Why are postal
savings banks not established in
the centers Of population? is lack
of money. Ask Mr.. Hitchcock
why the parcels post cannot he
established and he says: Lack Of
money. Ask him why offices are
being closed and the registration
facilities curtailed, and he says:
Lack of money. And yet he talks
about penny postage being "just
in sight" and suggests this as Il
it were a blessed thing. Who
wants penny postage anyway? The
establishment of parcels post
and postal savings banks Is much
more to the point, !
Among those who expect to par
ticipate inthe spoils of dem ocratic

young newspaper correspondent
who did the publicity work for the
democrats during the last two
years. Tavenner is a candidate
for doorkeeper.

Dear Dad: private credit is
wealth; public honor is security.
The feather that adorns the royal
bird supports its flight; strip him
of his plumage, and you fix him
to the earth. "-Junius.
The plumage of our supreme
court is its sanetity. When the
public fully understands that all
judges are human beings, and
some of them a little below the
average of human beings, our
courts will be brought near enough
to earth to administer human
rights instead of property exemp-
tons.

Mr.. Brown is a good sort, and is

TODAY IN HISTORY

Dec. II, 1912, Tasman, Dutch
navigator, discovered New Zea-
land, which he
named, appar-
emily, because it
was exactly the
opposite OF the
old Zealand, which is low and
flat, New Zealand being mount
ainous and rocky. Still New Zea-
land is probably as much like old
Zealand as New York is like old
York or New London like old
London, SO it will not do to De

SPEAK IN DEFENSE
 OF SOUTH AFRICA

Capetown, October -(Special)-Gen- eral Botha and Lord Methuen have made speeches on the defence of South Africa. Speaking at Durban. the union prime min ister said, while not establishing stand ing army and avoiding militarism. the governments policy must be to see that every able-bodied man could take fair share In the defence of the country. It might be necessary as a neucleus to have a small force of garrison artillery. The time had not yet arrived for the establish ment of a navy for coast defence, but the naval contribution to the empires forces would remain. Tt is our duty" he con tinued, Ito place the country in such a position that we shall be able to defend ourselves, and not be dependent upon the Mother country. Durban should be fortified as strongly as possible"
 The commander-in-chief at Hoopstad, Orangia, said he did not for one moment say that the facts of Germany having armed troops in Damaraland and buying horses in South Africa meant any more than that she was preparing to defend her own territory if the necessity should arise.
