THE men employed in the railway
mail service have successfully ap-
pealed to congress to correct what
they call the 'intolerable conditions"
brought about by the attempt of the
department to take up the slack in
the service This take up the slack"
order was issued about six months
ago. The object of the order was to
obtain greater uniformity in the aver
age hours of work in day by the rail-
way mail clerks. According to repre-
sensations made both to congress and
to the postmaster-general the order
has caused great decentralization in
the service. In some sections Of the
country the railway mail clerks have
threatened to quit in a body unless re-
lief was afforded.

POSTAL CLERKS NOTIFIED
Must Vacate Dormitory and Quarters
at Aberdeen

Aberdeen, March 11.-Special: The
railway mail clerks OF Aberdeen were
surprised and little chagrined today
when T. H: Faus, custodian of the
federal building here, received instruc-
tions from the treasury department at
Washington to GUST the clerks from
their dormitory il the third story Of
the building, and to dispose of the
equipment of the rooms, including the
bedsteads Ever since the building
has been in use, the railway mail
clerks have occupied the third story
of the structure as sleeping apart
ments, class room where they could
pursue the studies required to keep
them up with the work of the service,
and for a gymnasium. The purpose OF
the government in ousting them at
this time is unknown, and is incom-
prehensible to those receiving the. Or
der, as the quarters utilized by the
mail clerks are needed for no other
purpose, and the prospective removal
of the United States land Office, on
the first floor, on April Is, will give
additional room, which, however, will
Immediately be used for the Aberdeen
postoffice which is at present cramped
for space. The railway mail clerks
running into Aberdeen are about six
ty in number, and they recently or
organized branch of the Brotherhood
of Railway Mail clerks, but this is not
believed to have had anything to do
with the order from the treasury de-
partment, and the only possible sur
mise in relation to the matter is that
the government contemplates locat-
ing some other branch of the public
service at Aberdeen, and desires to
quarter it in the rooms hitherto occu-
pied by the mail clerks

Exhortinu the Ducks.

There are two tiny boys In this
town whose mother sings often to
them at their request, and as she Is
an ardent church woman, the children
hear as many hymns as anything else.
The other day they were playing with
their wooden ducks in tho bathtub,
and strangely enough the ducks were
more inclined to float sideways than
in the approved manner. After sew
erai attempts to keep the misguided
ducks straight the older boy shouted:
"Stand up, duck, stand up" Then
two-year-old, noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tub and ex-
horted: "'Tand up, duckl 'Tand up

Statehood Advocates Invade Capital

fend those who are sticklers for up
holding the dignity Of the judiciary
The Arizona men say a good judge
who doesn't become inoculated with
corporation and trust microbes has
nothing to fear from the recall, but
that the official life of judge who
leans away from the law might be
shortened by the recall provision, and
it was to provide for such cases that
it was made applicable to the judiciary
as we'll as other Offices.
The gist of the Arizona argument to
a cornered congressman was:
After our recent election 80 per
cent of the people voted to approve
the constitution. We know what we
want We know what Arizona needs.
Why don't you let US have the consti
tuition we made and approved? Let us

The Rryces and Gould-Decies Wedding

Decies and her daughter, Hon. Mrs.
for nice little visit with the former
naval attache of the American en-
bassy at London and Mrs. Gibbons.
When the visitors arrived they were
promptly and fearfully Toasted after
noon and evening-at the homes of
smart society, at the country clubs.
and, incidentally, over to the White
House they journeyed one pleasant
afternoon and drank five o'clock tea
with Mrs. Taft. Next thing everybody
knew the Dowager Lady Decies was
dining over at the British embassy.

sador didn't go to the wedding because
he isn't fond of wearing his goldlaced

GOVERNOR Wesley EXPLAINS
HIS DISAPPROvAL OF THE
SEVERAL MEASURES
MAIL CLERKS MUST MOVE
The Government Has Notified Postal
Clerks to Vacate Quarters in
Federal Building at
Aberdeen

Pierre, March 1.-THE veto Of Gov
ernor Wesley on House Bill 313, detin
ing the word closed" in reference to
a saloon, is on the grounds that it
opens the way for keeping saloons OPP
ened on Sunday, regardless of the state
law prohibiting He says: ut would
seem to me that the object of the bill
under consideration is to avoid the
effect of the decisions of the court
and that the passage and approval or
the bill would quite effectively set
them aside. Furthermore, it appears to
me that this bill is but an entering
wedge into breaking up of the pres
ent very effective laws regulating sa-
looms. If the keeper Of a saloon is
allowed to enter his place of business
on Sunday, or after closing hours it
would be very difficult indeed for the
court to determine whether his pur-
pose there was legitimate Or iliegiti-
mate" Further he says that if the
law were approved it would put con-
slant temptation for violation of the
law before the saloon men, and the
present construction of the court had
better stand.
In regard to his veto of Senate Bill
20, which attempted to apply the anti
discrimination laws of the state to
buyers as we'll as sellers, it is held
! to have the effect of repeating chap
ter 131 of the laws of 1907 relating
to unlawful discrimination. It's gener-
al provisions are also questions as
to what would result from attempting
| to put the law into effect, and it is
vetoed to save the law now in exist
ence. (This was known before the ad-
iournment of the session, but the
| house voted down three different eff
forts to recall the bill from the gov
ernor for correction.)
The disapproval of House Bill 81
is on the ground of unconstitutional
ity in number OF its phases. This
bill attempted to provide for the crea-
through combinations Of land owners
1t is held to be unconstitutional on
the grounds that it seeks to create
such districts public corporations by
department of the government; that
it attempts to impose upon the courts

that it violates the constitutional re-
quirement as to exemptions from tax.
alton in seeking to exempt its bonds

before the beginning of work or

STATE HAIL INSURANCE.

Bismarck. N. D., Feb. 1S.-There
j; was a, great deal of debate over s.
B. 46. which was introduced by Plain
and provides for the creation of q
state hail Insurance department. The
bill was finally passed by a vote OF
SO to and the clincher was attached
for which Senator Gunderson Is due
. large portion of the credit for his
assistance on the floor. ...a
The bill provides that the depart
ment be in charge of the commission.
or Of agriculture and labor and that
those desiring insurance shall pay
An assessment Of 20 cents per acre
and then that those sustaining loss
shall be paid out of that fund after
the expenses of the department have
been paid It does not call for any
appropriation and will not be an ex-
pease to the state in any way and
the taking out Of insurance under
the provisions of the law will be en-
tirely optional with the farmers OF
the state. No one Is to be paid more
than SO an acre for loss, and the
money in the fund, il there is not
enough to pay the full loss, Is to be
apportioned among those who have
subscribed. It Is the contention Of
the author that the department will
be quite literally used by farmers
over the entire state and he expects
to see fund created in few years
that will positively guarantee that the
losses will be paid in full If there
should be so general a hail fall as to
approach 4 calamity. If there is a
surplus in the fund at any time after
all the losses have been adjusted, this
will remain in the fund and be carried
over from year to year and used only
for the purpose Of paying losses ~
they occur. There is provision In
the bill which makes the appointment
Of deputies come under the control Of
the board Of auditors and they pass
on the appointment Of all clerk and
deputies and all other expenses to be
incurred by the department. All Of
the expenses of the department must
be paid before the losses sustained
On account Of hail storms are paid.
