President Announces She Will
Not Lose Gainesville
PoStoffiCe lob.

Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet, postmaster
of Gainesville. will not be removed from
Office by President Taft, notwithstand-
ing the fight made on her and the fact
that her present commission expires on
Saturday OF this week
President Taft authorized the state
ment in Washington. after a cabinet
meeting late yesterday afternoon, that
he will not disturb Mrs Longstreet, and
she has been so informed.
The president, speaking through his
postmaster general does not say that
he will reappoint Mrs. Longstreet to a
new term of four years. He merely
saws he will not remove her for another
II may be that she win be permitted
to serve under her present commission
until the new administration takes hold
in Washington. In that event the
question of her continuance in office
will be,squarely up to President Wood
row Wilson.
Henry s. Jackson, of Atlanta, has
denied that he ever took active steps to
have Mrs. Longstreet removed, or that
he requested the president to appoint
some one else in her stead. He has eX-
pressed the opinion, however, that she
has no righteous claim on the Office, and
that. in view of her open hostility to
Taft. and severe criticism of his nomi
nation, she could ask for reappointment
with very poor grace, If at all
Since the fight was started against
her in Gainesville. Mrs. Longstreet has
expressed the greatest confidence that
President Taft would not remove her.
1t is now reported In Gainesville that
Mrs. Longstreet will ask for a nomi-
mating primary, in which she may be a
candidate for reappointment to a full
term under President Wilson.

We waited for ages, out here in the cold
For chance to slip in where it's
I've peeked through the window and gazed through
the door
For years / have viewed with alarm.
And, that the table is for my feast,
And the dinner bell ready to sound
1t certainly is painful when suggests
Lets not eat till April round."
On crusts and cold water too long have | fed;
Inside | IN rebellous and sad
m thin, and m hungry-and that ism all
m supremely disguised and mad
| fain would sit in where I've long been denied,
And delay not the sitting day;
| think | live till the Fourth day Of March,
But till April? Why I'd fade away!
Oh, that the winecup draws near to my lips
Its bouquet alurng and sweet
Why should | put off the drinking? And why,
Since the feast S there, should | not eat
Sing not April, its blossoms and green
Its budding of linden and larch
Why wait for April famine to stop,
When the stopping is better i'll March?
What gbbering idiot, loose from his cage,
Suggested this postponement thought?
Perhaps he's the fend who knocks Santa Claus,
And tells us that kids should be taught
That Santa is only make-believe thing
A faker that folks should reject
This sordid and sinister Put it off hint
Comes not from friend, | suspect!
But peace to my fretting, my vexings, and pain;
There II be delay, | opne
When hunger is gnawing and banquets spread,
1t is time for the faithful to dine
so, on with the music; let April 90 hang.
Bring wine for my lips, ere they parch.
Ring loud the bell-let the feasting begin
At noon, the Fourth day Of March!

ON TO PENNSYLVANIA!

Colonel Roosevelt made the issue between the
politicians and the people perfectly clear in his H.
lnois speeches. 1t is an issue that is going to grow
bigger and more commanding until it wins.
Illinois is today holding its primary in which
the voters declaration of Presidential preference is
far and away the most important feature.
The mere fact that, as a result OF this campaign
for Roosevelt, laws have been secured making such
expressions possible in number of States is testi-
mony to the success of the movement
The politicians have sought to overcome the pur-
pose of the people in Kentucky they are seeking to
do it in Illinois; they are working desperately to do it
In Pennsylvania.
Colonel Roosevelt has left illinois to press his
fight in Pennsylvania where the bosses are confronted
with imminent danger that their organization will fail
to subver the popular will Every resource has been
exhausted in the effort to prevent the people getting
fair chance to express themselves in the State that
was once controlled by Quay and that now is trying
to free itself from Penrose domination
: The scandal of postmaster-rue in Kentucky, ol
gang control in Indiana, Of Lormersm in Illinois, OF
Penroseism in Pennsylvania, is being made every
day palmer.
1t is being brought home to the intelligence, the
understanding, the civic sense and the common
decency of the whole country. e..
1t is making the whole country realize that nc
candidacy based on such methods and sustained b,
such forces can win before the people.
