Postal Clerks and
Carriers Affected

Promotions and demotions affecting 800
clerks and letter carriers throughout the
United States are being ordered by
Postmaster General Hitchcock. as the
result of an deficiency rating system, -
which has been made up and applied
during the past three weeks.
Inasmuch the demotions are being
made, according to the department,
largely in the case of old and infirm
clerks or carriers who would otherwise
be laid off for cause. the system
amounts to pensioning them with their
continuing 10 return what service they
can in return.
The Postmaster General. like Secre-
iary of the Treasury McEeagh. Is averse
to turning out clerks or carriers whose
usefulness is restricted by the advance
of wears, and 0n the ether hand. is 1t
inclined to see the efficiency OF the de-
pa rtment suffer through the gradual en-
feeblement of employees.
First Assistant Postmaster General
GranfieId said today that the changes
which have been already ordered and
announced in various postoffices of the
city amount to 80 per cent of those
which the efficiency rating results call
for.

SURPRISING TRUTH
IN LORIMER INQUIRY? ?

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
1t has been generally supposed that
in the new IIormer investigation a real
attempt was to be made to get at the
truth. Those who are regular attend
ants at the sessions of the committee
are beginning to think that this suppo-
sition Is incorrect. Day after day, the
chairman. Mr.. Dillingham;, seconded %
a greater or less degree by two others,
hampers or thwarts the counsel of the
committee in their attempts to open
up and develop certain fields of fact or
animus yet allows the counsel for
Messrs. Hines and Lorimer to spend
hours in the most trivial and obscure
fields, and to iterate and reiterate ad
nauseam, and to put remarks in the
mouths of the witnesses, and to read
long extracts from newspapers.
We cannot see the bearing" 1T Is
not necessary to go into that" etc, are
becoming sadly familiar remarks direct
ed to Messrs. Healey and Marble. But
Messrs. Hanecy, Hynes, and Farrer were
allowed to grill Governor Deneen for
hours, while one of the committee en-
joyed a nap. another read paper, and
still another wrote a letter, the other
two members looking as intelligent as
they ever do. The whole matter re-
solves itself into this: either the chair
man has not the intelligence to perceive
the drift of the inquiries of his counsel
or he is favoring the Lorimer side.
There is no escape from one or the
other conclusion.
While l have the floor, as the Sena-
tors say. may l be permitted to ask
why the members Of the committee are
not attending to their duties mere faith
fully Sometimes there are only three
present. Mr.. Lea. Of course, cannot be
here. Put why should he not resign
and some one else be put in his place
MIR. Lea. can. of course. read the record,
but he Is missing the play of counten-
ancc. the shifty eyes, the twitching
muscles. the nangdoG looks that should

for getting at the pith Of matters and
for pricking shams, should be present

HINES IS ASSA|LEO
AND PACT PRAISED
BY SENATOR BROWN
Nebraskan Believes Reel.
procity Will Prove Great
Benefit to Nation.

Soon after the Senate session opened
today two pro-reciprocity speeches from
Republican members were made by
Senators Works and Brown.
Senator Brown threw a brick at Ed
ward Hines, calling attention TO the fact
that Hines, at a meeting of the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers Asso-
citation, had spoken against reciprocity,
one of the Northern border States would
support Taft for reelection.
He also spoke Of Hines appearance
here against reciprocity.
Senator Brown contended there must
be something good in a bill that Hines
was fighting.
II am convinced" he said, that the
enactment of this bill will result in
larger trade with Canada in all the
products produced and manufactured In
the United States
In a reference to Edward Hines, Brown
declared:
When. | find this man Hines, for
years the head of the lumber lobby
and the lumber combination Of the
country. before Senate and House COM
mittees, and. incidentally; according to
testimony that is slightly disputed

ing a personal assault on the Presi-
dent of the United States and opposing
this law in the names and for the sake
of the farmers, / begin to think there
is something in this bill which ought tc
command the respect and support OF
every honest man in the country.
This bill is the cornerstone OF a
new tariff system, which will contain
honest protective duties and which viii
nut an end forever. hope. to unneces'
sa-v and excessive duties.
ITO remove the duty against Canada
on manufactured articles would moi
bring a single Canadian manufactured
article into this country for the farmer
to buy, berause already Canada is I'M
allie to supply her own people with
manufa ctTred articles"
The American farmer Will get nc
relief from excessive duties on the
things he buys until we remove OF
lower the duty on articles coming
from other countries than Canada
and which are able to compete with
our manufacturers.
What We want is lower duties, pro-
tective and necessary-not unneces-
sary and eXtortionate-on manufac-
tured goods. and to get them from
the world. l favor, the bill which
leads the way eventually and in
evitably to that result"

AS TO PATRONIZING
GUILTY CORPORATIONS

To the Editor OF THE TIMES;
A man buying goods from party
who has been found guilty as an ille-
gitimate dealer is liable to be pointed
at as a friend to a criminal.
The Supreme Court OF the United
States has decided that the Standard
OIL Company and the American Tobacco
Company were Illegal combinations, be-
cause they are unfair competitors; yet
the Attorney General holds that the
United States can deal with these cor
porations. II Mr.. WiCkersham is not
misquoted, the United States. the Gov
ernment, the people, should give their
preference to these large corporations
and allow the smaller competitors to be
driven out of business. while II Is a
well-known fact that trusts" are det-
rimental to the welfare OF any natloh.
No wonder that Socialism is gaining
ground in order to down the wealthy

ANOTHER CUFF FOR THE Ma
TION'S STEPCHILD.

Our municipal stepfathers in the
upper house have once more succeeded
in sidetracking important District leg
islation, and at the same time have eX-
hibited their disregard for all the
rights and claims the District may
have on their attention. At the behest
of Senator Hepburn, bills which have
been pending for weeks, and which in
all conscience were entitled to consld-
Grafton. we're transferred from the ad-
vantageous position they held under
Rule VIII to a less favorable place un-
der Rule IX. The best efforts of Sen
ator Bacon and Senator Page to pre-
serve at least the status of these meas
ures were unavaiGng.
1t is difficult to understand how it
is that men who realize the helpless
dependence of the District can get their
own consent to persist in a policy of
studied contempt toward the interests
of the District. One would think the
very fact that the District is the direct
ward of Congress would inspire that
body not only with an interest, but
with a pride, in it's welfare. Its pros
perity reflects credit upon all the peo-
pie, and its misgovernment comes di-
rectly home to the legislative body.
Instead of that, il is the poor rela-
tion of the Government; it is not only
required TO eat at the second table,
but in most cases has to go entirely
hungry.
There are matters before the Senate
concerning the District which urgently
demand attention which certainly
should be settled one way or the other
and yet the Heyburns, with that
reckless spirit of Its lovely day;
let's kill something" never overlook an
opportunity to deliver body blow to
District affairs.

to say something in his behalf. Being
the father of the movement, 1 have

today in unqualified approval. of DR..
Wiley's administration of the bureau.
He is one Government employe who has

and that has been duty, and he has
steered steadfastly to that.

stood at once that only the pure in
heart may be expected to submit their
souls to. this microscopic, or fiuoro-
scopic, examination. Suppose it should
tarn out that by chance the scientists
are right, after alli Suppose it should
prove possible that the lofty.browe
physicists could detect that elusive
thing we are accustomed to call the
soul? There would soon be a scandal
among the best-regulated families
which would set the whole country by
the ears. 1t would be as if all the con-
fidentiaT professions, such as the law
vers and the doctors, had been caught
in their sleep and had their hands put
in cold water, so as to make them tell
all they knew.
We are accustomed to speak of white
souls and dark souls. 1t might prove
that these are not merely figures of
speech, but that every evil thought and
evil deed had left it's discoloration on
the aura, and the men who stood high
est in the counsels of piety were mere
ly ambulatory whited sepulchers. The
finger-print test has already made it
practically impossible for the wicked to
flee very far, but the finger prints are
not in, themselves a sign Of wickedness.
With this soul test, however, it would
be different. The sensitive plate would
show up all the drab, ring g-streaked,
and tarnished areas left by mans
secret communings with himself. We
have high authority for the assertion
that "as a man thinketh in himself, SO
is he" According to the deeds done in
the flesh, so shall the color OF his aura
be.
We are quite prepared to hear, soon
after those marvellous films arrive, that
something has happened to make the
experiments impracti"a5le and that on
grounds of public policy the little
game of psychological I-spy has been
dropped.

Wiley Wins in Suit
Against Wormy Peanuts

When 92.5 per cent of the sheIIed pea
nuts in ten large bags are found to
be worm eaten they are unfit for hu-
man consumption. That contention OF
DIR. Harvey w. WDey's has been sus-
tained by a court of law in the con-
demning and forfeiture OF the product.
The bags were labeled No. Spanish
shelled peanuts and are said to be
used by many candy makers in the
manufacture, Of Peanut brittle and the
cheaper grades of peanut candy.
The peanuts were shipped by the
Balm Peanut Company, OF Suffolk, one
of the largest peanut companies in the
South. After the action had been start
ed by the Government no answer was
filed and no defense made. As a re-
suit the peanuts were turned over to
the authorities for destruction.
