WHIRLWIND FINISH
BY BOTH PARTIES
Republicans and Democrats
to Hold Closing Raj
lies in DOUGLAS

Douglas. Ariz., Dec Monday
night viii be characterized by political
activity hitherto unequaled in Doug
las and Bisbee. The Republicans and
Democrats both plan big rallies. The
republicans propose to introduce a
novelty in politics by keeping the
meetings in 'Bisbee and Douglas go
ing at the same time with the same
set Of speakers. No sooner will a
member of the state ticket, including
ArizOna's famous fighting trio" Cam
erOn, HovaI Smith and Jack Williams
have completed his speech in either
place than he win be Whisked into a
waiting automobile and the 80 mile
trip between the two cities be made in
record time.
The Democrats have prepared a
torchlight procession, band music and
general jubilee with the aid of county
candidates. These viii be assisted by
Reece Ling, Of Prescott, and other i'm
ported speakers. Whether either dem
onstratiOn viii have any real effect
upon the voters is mOOted question
among the local politicians.
Saturday night the Democratic can
didates essayed for a second time to
hold rally. The crowd was
small and was made up, to
a large extent of known Republic
cans. The meeting which was to have
been held on the night previous was
postponed on account Of rain, only nine
voters turning out to hear the speak

Bisbee, highly pleased with the local
outlook.

Annual Vacations.

Annual Vacations.
The department again renews its
recommendation that a law be enacted
authorizing the allowance of 80 days
annual leave OF absence with pay 10
postOffice clerks. to city letter carriers,
and to such railway postal clerks as
are required to work six days a week
throughout the year.
Pensions for Employees.
Almost without exception. foreign ma
tons provide for the pensioning Of civil
service employees when they DecOH1e
superinnua ted. Large corporations fol-
low the same principle in the retire
menr of their aged employees On busi-
ness grounds, If for no other reason,
the government should do likewise.
Assistant POstmasters.
In accordance with the plan an
nOunced IN the last annual report as
slstant pOStmaSters have been recon-
mended to the civil service cOmnlls-
sion for classification as rapidly as II
was possible to ascertain by careful
Investigation their qualifications Tor
efficient service. The fact that claS-
sified employees in the lower grade
are now eligible for promotion to the
position of assistant postmaster has
rendered their employment more at
tractiVe, the result being a higher class
of competitors in the examinations for
postoffice clerks and letter carriers
Classification of Postmaster
The considerations that led to the
classification Of the position Of assist
ant postmaster IN presidential UU5A-
offices apply with equal force to the
postmastership itself. A full measure
of efficiency in the conduct of the
postal service can not be expected so
long as the pOstmasters are subject to
political control. The success that has
attended the policy of reappOinting
competent pOstmasters shows the adj
vantage of retaining the management
of the service in experienced hands,
In keeping with this policy the depart
ment last year recommended the clas-
sification of presidential posmasters
and that recommendation is now ear
nestly repeated.
The Fraudulent Use of the Mails.
The departments crusade against the
fraudulent use of the mails. begun
in 1910, has been aggressively con-
tinued. Last year the inspectors as
signed to this work Investigated
great variety of cases. There were al
together 529 indictments, and in these
cases 1S4 convictions have been already
with but y acquittals.

reQu1sit1On through the agency OF the
/ postOffice department 1t is to be
hoped that favorable action on this rec
Ommendation will be taken at the COM
ing session. The desiraniity Of the
plan has been demonstrated by its ap-
pltcation to the postal savings system
Every letter and package mailed in
conducting the business Of the system
has been required to carry postage SUI
ficient for its weight and class. Thus
it has been possible to ascertain the
exact amount eXpendeS- y the gov
eminent for postage in this new branch
of the postal service
-. Readjusfing Railway Mail Pay.
Another problem Of great cOnse-
quence TO the postal service that should
be acted on by congress during the
coming session is the compensation Of
the railways for carrying the mails.
During the year the department com
pleLed the 1nYe tlgaI1On begun early IN
the administratio with the object OF
determining what it costs the railways
to perform the service. While many of
the railways, and particularly the
larger systems. made heavy profits from
mall transportation, certain Of the lines
were actually carrying the mails at a
loss. The department recommends a
plan by which the compensation should
be determined on the basis of the
amount Of space required in cars for
the handling OF the mails. A read
5ustment of railway mail pay in the
manner suggested, II is believed. will
result in saving to the government an
nually about 100000
REORGANIZATION OF Railway Service.
Owing to the conditions disclosed by
an Investigation, a thorough reOrganl-
cation OF the railway mail service has
been undertaken. This reorganization,
although not completed, has gone far
enough to bring about a decided i'm
prOVement.
In place Of the present method of
compromising railway mail clerks,
which is far from satisfactory, the de-
partment will recommend to congress
a new system OF salaries that viii in
sure regular promotions and a higher
maximum compensation for those who
render efficient service
The plan of assigning to the railway
mail cars new appOintees without pre-
yious experience in the postal service
- to be abandoned, and hereafter the
additional clerks required on the cars
viii be recruited from the trained en-
ployes of the postoffices.
City Delivery Service.
Important changes were also made
during the year in the city carrier
service. The curtailment of too frequent
deliveries in residential sections en-
abled the department to provide more
deliveries in business districts. This
bu business men. who are willing to
have fewer deliveries at their resi-
dences in order to obtain more fire.

RESOLUTIONS OF WOMAN
SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION

The Woman Suffrage Associatio Of
Mississippi in convention ASSEMBLED
declares that the principle Of equal
rights alone expresses the American
ideal Of self-government, and as women
are governed and taxed, logic and
honesty both demand woman's enfran-
chisement by the states in order to
vindcate the principles Of our govern
ment.
Resolved, That the Association re-
ioices in the enfranchisement Of the
women of the state Of Washington.
This enfranchisement places a new
star on the Woman Suffrage flag the
only flag which symbolizes our nation

tors in controlling and directing, the

tremendous growth of the SUFFRAGE
sentiment all over the civil
lied globe, which sentiment will en-
franchise the women Of other natianal-
tiles before those Of the United States
placing US in the ridiculous position
Of not applying the principles for
which our forefathers fought, bIed and
died.
Resolved, That the Women Of Mis-
sissppi Woman Suffrage Association
will redouble their efforts to secure
be ter legislation for women and
children in the industrial world-to
secure the determination Of the white

BITTERNESS IN
 TARIFF DEBATE
Democratic Leader Underwood Takes Substantial Whacks
 at Republican Party
HITS PAYNE TARIFF, TOO
Chairman Payne Holds Up His End of the Argument and Answers
 Underwood.

Washington. June S.-Bitterness
 such as has not characterized any Of
 the preliminary tariff debates of the present session of congress, cropped
 out at the beginning of the discussion of wool in the house yesterday The Democratic leader, MT. Underwood, chairman of the ways and means
 committee, devoted the afternoon to an explanation of the proposed .Ie- vision of the wool schedule, and to an attack upon the Payne tariff law and the Republican party.
 He was met at almost every stage l of his argument by replies by former i Chairman Payne, now the ranking Republican on the ways and means
 committee. and by other Republicans who questioned his statements and l his arguments. MT. Payne denied vigorously the Democratic charge that | the Payne law did not fulfill Repub- | he criticised MT. Underwood's state t, ments that the country's revenue was declining and the treasury was ap | preaching a deficit.
 MT. Payne will lead the opposition to the Democratic bill. and will prob ably make the opening speech. No i limit has been set to the debate, and notwithstanding Mir. Underwood'S s hope that it can be concluded in d week. it is expected to last well into, if not through the second week. MT. Underwood asserted that the
 American Woolen company directed the action of the Republican con-
 gress on the wool tariff.
 There is nobody in this country who does not know that the Ameri- can WOolen company today fixes the price" said MT. Underwood. That it is monopoly, that it is a trust, and that that industry and that company dictated to a Republican house when they prohibited you from reducing
 the eXorbitant rates under schedule K in. the last congress-"
 Paying his respects to~the present tariff board, MT. Underwood said that if that body went on for ten years
 as it is going at present, we wouldn't get enough information on the wool schedule to write tariff bill" He
 said he was convinced that no tariff board appointed by the president
 even though it were a permanent board with wide powers, would work satisfactorily While not questioning the sincerity or honesty of purpose of President Taft MT. Underwood
 said he was convinced that either the board refused to give up facts we called for, even with the presidents sanction, or else the board has vast
 ed a quarter of a million dollars in it's work
 MT. Longworth challenged MT. Un- derwOod's statement that the board
 had been working on the wool tariff
 for 1 8 months. He expressed the be- lief that it took up the wool ques- tion only few months ago.
