Another question asked was whether
the church authorities exercise power to
direct the members OF the church as to
what business enterprises they should

he could only say they did exercise such

her present commission runs out. and
as it expires on December Z, those who
keep tab on such things are looking
for change within the next two or

In ordinary circumstances. it seems
that it is Mr.. Taft's policy TO rename
postmasters whose commissions are to
expire before the end his term, but the
fight against Mrs. Longstreet has gone
to the point where the office likely will
be given to another, even if that other
himself is removed within the next few
