INSURGENTS AFTER HITCHCOCK
That the insurgent Republicans are as
anxious as the Democrats-perhaps more
soto make trouble for Postmaster
General Hitchcock is evidenced by the
flood of reports which are reaching the
Civil Service Commission alleging per
nicous political activity on the part Of
the postmaSters. In every section where
the insurgent movement has gained the

to the Taft administration, is going 70

Assistant Postmaster General Stewart can

I'm the Civil Service to-day that labor unions
consisting Of postal employees are disap-
nroved by the Postoffice Department The
investigation being prosecuted by this COM
mittee was undertaken at the instigation
az Samuel Gompers, president. and Frank

Grafton of Labor. Mr.. Stewart referred to
the order issued by President Roosevelt,
and later confirmed by President Taft. for
bidding government employees to attempt to
influence legislation for their own benefit.
either I'm the matter OF hours or compensa-
ton. II has been generally assumed that
this question of labor unions in the gov
eminent service was settled by President
Roosevelts decision that the Government
Printing Office must remain an "open
shop" Mr.. Roosevelt then pointed ont
that the conditions attending employment
by the government are OF a wholly differ
ent character from those attending private
employment; that the employees are not
menaced by the same greed for gain or the
same heartless competition as i'm the bust
ness world. and that political conditions
would always have tendency to improve
rather than to depreciste the conditions At
tending employment by the government.
o. course these conditions still hold good.
and were the Democrats sincere in their
inquiry they could find a comprehensive
and convincing reply TO the arguments ad-
vanced by the Federation officials in the
arguments presented by President Roose-
welt when it was sought TO drive non
union bookbinder from government employ
merely because he was not a union man.

Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts Of an Eskimo to con.
struct telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession Of piece Of
wire of considerable length and never
having seen wire before he asked
Professor Mcmillan Of the Peary north
pole expedition what it was and what
It was for. He was told that the
white man strung It on poles stuck
In the ground and voice talking
to an instrument at one end could be
heard at the other end. After some
search the next morning the Eskimo
was found to be engaged in telephone
construction work Of his own. He
stuck some sticks in the ground and
hung his wire on them. He held one
end Of the wire to his mouth and
talked to it at the top Of his voice.
Then he ran as fast as he could to
the other end and held the wire to
his ear with the exceptation OF hear
ing his own words repeated
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion Of his white friend.

1t lacked in cast One scene. in particular. ap-

in which the two orphans were sitting on the

down over their thin shoulders Broadway was
thronged with pedestrians. Horse-cars few along
at eight miles an hour. Nobody looked at the or
phans. But the orphans. silent as little sphynxes
looked straight ahead-straight up the street
There was Broadway! The infinite skin Of the

clear to the horizon. Nothing but buildings and
people and people and buildings till they blended

The painted scene had fred his mind with an

All during the show. which he saw not. though he
looked straight at the stage, he kept his eyes

The court, some years back, having broken into
town in substantially the same way, did not hear
the boys story without feeling. During the re-
cital, the judicial mind had gone back to that
other day, now long gone. when he. penniless
lad. had said good-by to his native town. So he
said to the boy:
my son, let me commend your judgment ANY
boy who will ride the trucks to New York. in
preference to going to Chicago and living with
his chums aunt, has the right spirit. think this
town needs boys like you. and am going to let
you stay Discharged"
Nothing can illustrate better than this incident
the lure Of New York. Perhaps NO other city ever
ton blufed. A bigger word than "buhed" IL
needed here, but 1t does not come. The point is
that the city has the power to cast great spell,
and casts it. She makes no comparisons. To
make comparisons would be to admit that there
are others in her class She says only: Il am the
wonderful city-come."
The call goes north to the edge Of the frozen
world; east to the point where the east il west:
south as far as q white man lives and west till
the west is east Not everybody comes. but every
body hears. Millions would like to come but
can't Everybody would like at least to see the
siren city. And. untold thousands do come. One
railroad thinks nothing Of dumping 100000 stran-
gers into New York in a day.
The reason for 80 much coming is plain Ev-

corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
