Postal Service.

An order which will eliminate
from the mails absolutely the Red
Cross stamps and the Mcnamara de-
tense fund stamps because on their
faces their are called stamps" has
been issued by Postmaster General
Hitchcock after comforting with
Third Assistant Britt.
The use of such stamps on the
diverse side OF letters was forbid
den. Much inconvenience In hand
ling the mails from particular To-
calities has been experienced by the
postal authorities on account OF the
increasing use of adhesive stamps.
In view of the trouble experienced
from the use of the Red Cross
stamps Turing the last Christmas
holiday period, Postmaster General
Hitchcock Issued an order that no
adhesive stamps except United States
hostage stamps should be attached
to the address side Of letter or
package.
Thousands of letters bearing
stamps on the diverse side OF the
envelopes have been received at the
dead letter office since the order.

ARIZONA CAN RECALL JUDGES
Feature to Which Taft objects May
be Replaced In Constitution
After Statehood.

Washington, Aug. 2S.--Two addf
tional stars will be added to the nag
July 4, 1912, as a result Of granting
statehood to New Mexico and Arizona.
Mr.. Taft Insisted that before Arizona
finally became state 1t must Dc
shown that the voters of that terri
tory have adopted an amendment 10
their constitution excluding Judges
from the operation Of the recall
They will do this, for after seeking
statehood for more than three decades
the people of that country will NOT
lose it now to retain the privilege Oh
recalling their judges.
Since they can replace the recall Oh
the judiciary In their constitution
within go days after becoming
state, II they wish, 1t readily can Dc
seen that there is slight chance Oh
the territory not coming in when New
Mexico does.
New Mexico was organized as .
territory September 9, 1850 ana
started It's fight for statehood WITHIN
the year, and has kept 1t up ever
since. At that time New Mexico IN
Guided Arizona, and 1t was not until
1863 that Arizona became q separate
territory. Even then Arizona did not
take any statehood airs, and II was
not until some years later that botn
territories started a united enort 70
oet into the Union. They kept at II
