Hodges Horse Won

Sunday afternoon in West First street the we'll advertised horse race between Arizona, owned by James Hodges, and the fast horse belonging to Lieutenant Watson was pulled off before about 5000 people. It was a good race and exciting from the word "go" till the win ner went under the ropes at the finish. Arlzona won by about three lengths.
 Just before the finish William Spangler stepped in front of the soldiers horse and was knocked unconscious. As & result of this accident and interference the S2OO stake money is held since the soldier boys refuse to give up the purse on account of this mishap.
 Spangler was severely bruised but it is expected that he will recover.

NIT THE RIGHT KEY
Secretary Hitchcock Turns a De-
 ficit Into a Balance

Few men in the public service have been more severely criti- cised or have paid less attention to criticism than Postmaster General Hitchcock. Following his successful conduct of the Taft campaign for the Presi- dency, he was made a cabinet member and placed at the head of department which from time immemoriaI has been regarded hopelessly inselvent. Instead of showing an annual decrease the deficit has been steadily growing, due to archaic methods of doing business and to abuses already acknowledged by all, but which no one seemed desir- ous of teckling.
 The new Postmaster General, who had the reputation of doing things, even if it were necessary to run a steam roller over both ersome obstacles, started in by cutting out unnecessary en- ployes, "taking up the slack, ' as he termed it. In other words, wherever he found employees putting in six or seven hours, he reduced the force enough tc keep the men on duty busy fol eight hours, the time demanded under the rules of the service.
 It was announced a fnw days ago that the Postoffice Depart ment this year will will show S1, 900, GOO balance instead of the usual deficit. This shows what may be done by the exercise O. business intelligence. Probably the same conditions which have applied in the Postoffice Depart ment exist in the ether depart I Tments. There is an innate ten dency to follow the line of leas resistance and to get the month ly stipend for the least possibl' effort. If 6 few more Hitch cocks could be placed in the cab met, there probably would b
 less ground for criticism of ex
 travagance, albeit the rattlinl
