SAYS DEPARTMENT

Witness Declares Postmaster
General Suppresses Facts
Regarding Accidents.

Charges that the Postmaster General
and other postal officials suppress facts
and misinform Congress as to the safety
of the lives of clerks in the railway mail
service were made before the House coss-
mfttee on post Offices today by Urban
A. Walter of Denver. Col, formerly a
railway mail clerk and editor of postal
journal.
He declared that specific regulation
Of the post office service forDids clerks
to discuss wrecks or other omissions OF
the railroads in the mail service and that
the Postmaster General has not stopped
short of misinformng the committee and
the public on these facts"
Displays Letter File.
Mr.. Walter produced a letter file. in
which he said he had 800 letters from
mail clerks reporting on insanitary and
unsafe mail cars. which he could not in
troduce in evidence because the official
positions of the authors would be jeopar
died If the names were published.
lit is a remarkable situation that this
gag law of the department should keep
Congress from getting at the Facts.

CHRISTMAS GIVING.

Those who aro filed with re:;rcts

CO mot afford "a costly presents as
they would like 10 give, will find a.
grain of comfort in The view takcl ny
an editorial writer in the Woman's
Home Companion. THE cost in mon
ey," says this writer, sis about the
poorest of measures for any kind of a
gift The thoughtfulness in it, the rec
ognition of desire for things unasked
for, the affection that goes with 1t,
counts for much more. Every Christ
mas each of us receive message
that means more than the most ex-
pensive gift Yet we forget that some
times in the perplexing selection Of
presents for others"
Continuing, the magazine writer
says that the most miserable Christ
mas present, the kind that no human
being is rich enough to afford, Is that
which is bought to make a show, to
exploit ones vanity. when you are
tempted" the article says, ito buy a
'show-off' present, remember that the
recipient has some rights. One who
understands will be made unhappy by
that kind of gift. You know yourself
that when you receive a present that
represents a great sacrifice on the
part Of the giver it makes you feel
miserable, even when the right spirit
of generous friendliness is behind 1t.

IMMIGRATION AND LABOR.

In q volume on Immigration ana
Labor" DR.. Isaac A. Hourwich dis.
cusses the economic aspects OF
European immigration to the United
States. DR.. Hourwich makes the state
ment that there was as much OPPOSE
ton to the immigration of the early
part of the nineteenth century as
there is to that of today. The lmal-
grants then coming from Great
Britain and Ireland, he says, were not
considered either financially or otner-
wise more desirable than those COM
ing at the present time from southern
and eastern Europe. DR.. Hourwlch ex-
plains the relationship between IN
dustrial prosperity and high lmmlgra-
tion and between industrial depression
and reduced immigration. The imml'
grant comes upon the invitation OF MS
relative already here, he explains.
when times are good this invitation
Is freely extended. When times are
bad not only is it withheld. put on
the contrary, every reason Is SHOWN
why the country is, at such time not
Z desirable place. Summing Up his
conclusions DR.. Hourwich says:
a. immigration does not displace
native American labor.
az immigration varies inVersely
with unemployment: it does not IN
crease the rate of unemployment;
(3) immigration does not lower
the standard of living;
"a 1T does not reduce the rate OF
wages, but it has pushed native
American, llaborers into the more
skilled and more remunerative occu-
pations; ..r
lKl The hours of labor have been
Yeduced In the communities In whlcn
immigration has been great;
Is) Immigrants join labor organ1-
Stations as freely as natives.
II 81. Hourwich takes the position tnat
labor.s objection to high immigration
ia ill-considered. He declares that the
average number Of days OF employ
mont for wage earners declines as I'M
migration declines and increases as
Immigration increases. Those eco
nnmic forces which produce business
Srpansion reduce unemployment and
attract immigration" he says; those
which produce business depression IN
crease unemployment and reduce I'M
n1iRrotion."

son hut he dropped the Thomas for
euphony's sake. The Hartford Courant
sivas this explanation Of why he
changed his name:
The man who Is to- be the first
democratic president in sixteen years
was IN 1890 a professor at wesleyan
mniversitv- He was in the course OF an
evenings call upon fellow professor,
discussing the interesting subject OF
names and their value.
"For those who wish to achieve any

son .'the best kind Of name Is one
that consists Of a dactyl and a
spondee. For instance. Daniel Weoster
The next best kind Of a name 10 one

Wilson, for instance
Which proves two things: First, IN
1890 Woodrow Wilson was ambitious
tor a public career. Second. Woodrow
wilson was perfectly willing that
every one should know 1t. g.
