New Primary Proposed

Senator Bristow, of Kansas, has in
troduced a bill providing for pref
erence primary for the appointment
of postmasters, which would affect
the appointment of every postmaster
in the United States who receives
$500 or more year.
Senator Bristow's plan is to hold
nominating election for postmasters
hereafter where vacancies occur for
the postoffice, filling the office by
the voice of the people. The candi-
date receiving the largest number of
votes cast in the nominating district
would be appointed by the Postmaster
liberal and would serve five years.
q abe bill provides that the nominal
ing election may be held at the time
of the county, state, local or municipal
election next preceding the expiration
of the term of the postmaster, at the
discretion of the Postmaster-General

days Without Receiving
Presidents Message.

Washlngton.-Congress, before adj
lournment for the Christmas holidays,
Witnessed some lively aaneuvers to
get President Tafts third message
of the year into the record, secure
action on the Presidents recent ap-
continents and bring proceedings in
The Archibald Impeachment to a point
wnerC they may be disposed of early
IN January. The House was unable
to get a quorum and adjourned with
out even receiving the Presidents
message.
In his message President Taft gave
Congress his opinion OF the charge
that he had been playing politics in
ais recent executive order putting
$4,000 fourth-class postmasters under
the civil service. The President made
the counter charge that his accusers
on the floor of the house were telling
"untruths," and declared that he deep
ly regretted the failure of Congress to
pass. legislation which practically
would destroy the "spoils" system.
Criticism has been made of this
order on the ground that the motive
was POLITICAL" said the president.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. The order was made before the
election and in the interest of efficient
public service"
Final Warning to be Given Madero
One more warning will be given
President Madero of Mexico to pro-
tect American life and property in
his republic, and if this goes unheeded
the United States will act. This ad-
mission was made by an official Of
the state department, who said the
tenor of the ultimatum to be sent was
purposely allowed to leak, so that
Madero might realize the situation and
take immediate action. 1t was en-
phaticaly stated also that the warning
would be the last diplomatic demand
for protection of American citizens in
Mexico.
