MORE PIE, COLD -sToRAGED.

II appears that President Taft is
playing hob with the "pie'' hunters
| by putting immense quantities of the
pie in cold storage. inaccessible to
the hungry partisan. His withdrawal
Of some $4,000 fourth class postmasters
| from the 'spois'' was followed by an
executive order placing 10000 navy
yard employees under civil service reg
ulations. This, it is explained, is
likely to arouse some feeling Of ami

Democratic Cougressmen from Boston,
Brooklyn, and other constituencies
