The United States District Attor- ney at Denver, Colo, has caused the arrest and is prosecuting a railway mail clerk for carrying outside the mails a mailable packet, not first class, for hire.
 This is under the law which makes it unlawful for any person concerned in carrying the mails to carry con- trary to law any letter or packet"
 But this same district attorney is not prosecuting the express trust for carrying millions of such packets in violation of the very next section

 The audience should be seated at least six feet in front of the curtain whether the gauge is used or not.
 After refreshments and the decision made in the Hymn Guessing Contest, a pleasing way of closing the evening would be to sing the hymns which have been represented in the tabIeaux. It will be amusing to see how few know the words though they may be familiar with the tunes.

Fielden, Schwab and Neebe were also convicted of participation in the bomb conspiracy and were sent to prison, but were later pardon ed by Gov. Altgeld of Illinois. The latter was severely criticised for free ing the anarchists but since then distinguished attorneys who have gone over the record of the trial have declared that the anarchists were convicted by public opinion, rather than by orderly procedure. of the courts, and that the evidence was in- sufficient to convict any of the men mot even those who were hanged.

EVERY BIRD HAS ITS DAY

 This is Bird Day, whep we are called upon by the Audubon Society of North America to pay honor to the feathered friends of mankind and to the memory of the distinguished American ornithologist, John James Audubon. who was born in New Or leans 132 years ago today. whether the observance of the day shall take the form of a special feed for Dickie, the canary, a visit to the parks or woods to study the birdies in their native haunts, or the serving of a yellow-legged chicken on the dinner table, is a matter of individual taste,

(By Professor Henry Emery of Yale)
 Tt may be the essence of humani tariaism that prevents the discharge of an employe of the government who has been in the service thirty years and has become so incompetent that a younger and more efficient man is necessary to do the work, but 1t Is hardly justice to the people to whom you are responsible. and who are pay ing for the incompetent employe. False sentimentality too often dictates the retention of incompetent men. A man in a private business would hesi- tate to keep upon his rolls any one who had outlived his usefulness, be- cause it would inJure his business and the cost comes out of his pocket, but the same man does not hesitate to waste the government money by plsc- ing friends and relatives in plac ss which they are incompetent to fill. The moment you begin to consider any thing but sheer efficiency in employ ment of government officials you are going to have a problem and it will not be the problem of merely right and wrong, but more subtle one of knowing what the right is, and acting in accordance with that knowl- edge.
 'Jn all my career as government employe have never been called up- on to discriminate between the big questions of right and wrong. I have never been approached by any busi- ness interest who desired to gain my influence for a special interest, but I have had more difficult problems to decide, that of telling the truth as l knew it.

HOW "DISSOLUTION'' HELPS

Standard Oil and tobacco trust stocks have increased greatly in value since the recent "dissolution'' decis- ions of the United States Supreme court.
 Dissolution under the Supreme court decisions is worth millions of dollars to any trust in the land.
 Having enriched the oil and tobacco trusts by "dissolving" them. the at- torney general has started similar proceedings against the harvester trust Doubtless this trust will be duly thankful for the favor.

Duty of a Political Citizen

q is a well-knovn fact that the
average voter does not look upon the
great American prerogative. the bal
lot with the same veneration that was
50 manifest less than one hundred
years ago. Every citizen should be a
politician. not in the generally accept
ed vulgar sense. but from the stand
point OF the patriot. Vixen a citizen
comes to the point where he thinks
he Is STOPPING when he takes part IN
the elections OF his officers. ne should
either raeve or become a hermit.
Everyone must concede that there
are three chief qualities that the voter
Should require of q candidate before
supporting him for office, it matters
not what the office is, to be filed.
These are honesty. capacity and e7c-
perience (education). Many. without
thinking, would say that Of these,
honesty is the most important of the
three (honesty of purpose as well as
IN pecuniary mattera). Yet. IL you
turn TO the statutes you can see that
practically every dishonest act,
whether endorsement, naIfeasance

governor or constable, is well guard
ed against by penal laws-in other
words. the average office holder is
compelled TO be honest ia his acts by
law. But what about the other quail
tiles Enthusiastically and expe-
rience? These, We assert, are the most
important. There is no law providing
that q person shall not be commits
stoned for any Office unless there is
ample assurances that he possesses
the capacity and experience (educa-
tion) to perform the duties. Certain
qualifications are required Of our Judi
cial officers and they must have cer-
tain amount Of experience and comply
with certain educational requirements.

from the incapacity and inexperience

Our Most Important Officers.
To the average citizen of Florida
the county officers are by far the
most important. It would be a task
to try to get ten citizens to agree as
to what is the most important office
in the county. but they will agree
as to what is the most important Of
flee in the county, but they will agree
that almost anyone Is qualified to be
county treasurer who can write and
make the bond. that anyone with a
fair education can be clerk OF a court,
that common understanding of lands
and property is about all that Is es-
sential to make fair tax col or
or an assessor. that anyone who can
read and possesses ordinary courage
may be sheriff. Which are the most
important offices? Answer, those we
are most careless in selecting men to
fill, namely, county commissioners and
school board. Why? Because they
exercise their own discretion in hand
ling the county's funds. Why a county
commissioner so important? He levies
the tax, high or low. Congress can
not do that. the governor cannot, the
legislature cannot, only In certain in
stances.
