Hitchcock's steam Roller Again In Action.

Hitchcock's Steam Roller Again In Action.
Postmaster General Frank II. itch
cock bas wheeled his famous steam
roller out Of the shed, where it has
stood IN repose since he used it sc
effectively in flattening out opposition
to Mr.. Taft three years ago, and is pre-
pairing to again run it back and forth
over those who oppose continuance
of the Taft administration.
Mr.. Hitchcock is putting the old
machine in order by the liberal use of
"franking privilege OIL" AS pre-
liminary to more extensive use OF the
roller later on, the Postmaster General
is trying to smooth the roads just at
present by permitting the White House
Press bureau, of which Mr.. Taft's priv
ate secretary, Mr.. Hiles, is manager, to
send broadcast over the country all the
speeches the President is making dur
ing his tour of the West.
Many of these speeches were prepar-
ed in advance, and although the PIesi-
dent hasn't yet delivered some of them
they all have gone out to Republican
editors, each with a "release notice"
On the Outside of the envelopes in
which these speeches are being sent is
this inscription: "lhe White House.
Official Business. Penalty for private
use, $780,"
Mr.. Hitchcock has been known to
exercise supervision over what the
various members of Congress send cut
under their franks. On more than ore
occasion, when some Congressman has
used his frank to disseminate speeches
made outside of Congress, and having
no relation to legislative matters, the
vigilant Postmaster General has called
the offending statesman to account,
and warned him that the Thanking
privilege is to carry official business
only.
Under the Hitchcock system of req
soning any speech Mr. Taft makes,
asking that the Republican admins
tratlon be continued in power, is 'of-
fetal business" within the meaning of
the postal regulations.
Nr Hitchcock has let down the
postal bars in another particular, by
way of lending aid to the Taft press
bureau. Some time ago the President
conceived that it would be good thing
for him if all the lawyers of the coun-
try could read his message denying
the right of the people of Arizo to have
the recall. SO he had several thousand
copies of this message printed, free Of
charge, at the Government Printing
office, and the press bureau CLERKS are
now busy sending copies of it, under
the White House frank, to as many
lawyers as they can reach.
The Taft administration has virtual v
turned the White House into polite
| headquarters. Clerks are busy sending
out the Taft political speeches, ana
| other clerks are kept busy seeing TO it
that the various press bureaus which
have headquarters in the capital are
supplied with all sorts of. literature
to help the President in his campaign
| for denomination.

Trust, Tariff and Gold.

In an interview III New York, Mr..
w. j. Bryan ia answer to questions
relating TO the causes of the high cost
of living said: 1.-The trusts use the tar
Ills as the means by which the, in
crease the cost of living. Bat while it
may seem heresy TO men GA il dow "a
East, there is another cause that can
not be overlooked for present high
prices, aud that is the worldwide it
huence of the increased volume If
money due to the Unprecedented dis
coVerles of gold. This is the Basic
cause for high prices throughout the
world. But the influence of the in
creased volume of money has been add
ed to 1t in particular by the trusts act
ing through the tariff rates. There are
only two classes who do not want COM
petition restored. The first is the social
list, who believes competition is wrong
in principle and wants the government
TO own monopolies. THIS greup. ac.
cording to the last election returns, in
cludes less than per cent OF the voters
The other class is made up of the ben
eficiaries of monopolies, who want
competition eliminated for their own
benefit wherever they can control the
product. This element does not even
amount to per cent of the voters but
1t Is powerful in that it controls IN a
large extent the banks, the railway s
and the leading newspapers. The pr
vate monopoist denounces the social!
list IN unmeasured terms, but he is do
ing more then any other class to help
socialism.

First Baptist church in Lowell,
Mass, Feb. 24,~1861, later joining
by letter the Baptist church in this
place, and was also a charter mem
Der of the First Baptist church in St.
Johnsbury. She was interested in
each church society and willing
worker wherever opportunity came.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS
Printers Gave Great Aid in The Bill
Board Campaign.

Probably most of the people who
have noticed the anti-tuberculosls
posters on the st. Johnsbury bill
boards do not know that this IS one
of the latest methods of fighting
this dread disease. The movement
began about year and half ago,
the idea originating with the 1T.
Rev. Richard H. Nelson, bishop or
Albany, N. Y, who being interested
in the great fight against the white
plague and familiar with effective
poster advertising, suggested to
Frank E. Fitch of Albany the pos
sible advantages of a poster cam
paign against tuberculosis.
The movement once started gather
ed momentum. The paper for the
Autographs was given free by differ
ent paper concerns. Then the Poster
Printers association offered to print
the posters free, and ink companies
contributed ink for the printing,
printers contributed their presses
and pressmen the photographers
worked freely in this work for hui
mainly and the result is that within
| two years the national committee
has posted about a million dollars
worth of printing which has cost
| it nothing.
The extent and far-reaching effect
that this form of the crusade
against the great white plague will
have cannot be measured A hint
of it may be gained from the fact
that the Bill Posters organization
extends to 34OO towns and cities in
the United States and in each of
these has been or will be seen the
striking red and black Autographs
of this crusade. The designs for the
posters were made and presented by
6. w. Featherolf of the New York
state board of health. On each post
er appears the sign used information
al as representing the crusade
against all forms of tuberculosis.
This lis the red double-armed cross
which is destined to become known
throughout the world in this great
crusade. The wording used on the
posters is short, striking sentences
which will fasten themselves in the
memory of persons reading them.
