DEMOCRATS ACCUSE
TAFT OF POLITICS IN
POSTOFFICE ORDER

WASHINGTON, Nov 2e.-That an effort
VIII he made to suspend President Taft'S
executive order Of October Is whereby
about $4,000 fourth class postmasters
were placed under the civil service be-
came known today. when Representative
Cordell Hull, OF Tennessee. said the Dem
ocrats In congress who are already in
Washington have conferred Informally on
the subject, and that there was an over
whelming sentiment in favor of the order
being revoked.
Representative Hull declared that
President-e elect Wilson, under the civil
service law, would have the power to re-
woke President Taft's order.
Coming at the time and under the
circumstances that 1t did" said Mr. Hull
this order of the president is patiently
STEPPED in the deepest political dye and
constitutes within itself a gross viola
ton of the letter. the spirit and the
whole purpose of the civil service law
because it places this immense horde of
Republicans--to the exclusion Of Demo-
crats-permanently In office without ex-
animation or test as to merit or eff
cheney,
IF carried out, this order would make
honest civil service a farce and prove the
greatest setback to it's administration
extension and progress in a generation.
l have heard of no demand for this re-
cent roder of President Taft, save from
the $4,000 Republican postmasters in
question"

JUNK HEAP FOR
SLOT MACHINES

The first step toward sending the
nickel slot machines to the junk pile
viii be taken at the meeting of the
council committee on legislation this
afternoon. The committee will recon-
mend an ordinance to council barring
the machines from locker clubs and
near beer saloons. The ordinance was
introduced in council some time ago
by Councilman c. d. Knight. 1t has
been approved by the police commit
tee.
Carlos Fl. Mason, chairman of the
police commission, is known to be in
favor Of the abolition of the machines.
on account Of the legal technlcalities
he believes the simplest way to do it
would be for council to pass the ordi-
nance prohibiting them in saloons and
locker clubs. Chief Beavers and his
policemen would do the rest.
Saloon Men Have No Regrets.
Near beer saloon men themselves de-
clare that the machines should not be
permitted. While the large manufac-
turing company that owns them gives
the saloon men rs per cent Of the prof
its, many of the saloon proprietors say
they have allowed them in their places
only in self-defense. Their COMPETE
tors had them and they were losing
trade without them
1t develops that after endeavoring to
comply With the law with all sorts of
technical mechanism, the promoters OF
this gambling system have finally put
out machines that are as pure gam
bling devices as a roulette wheel
There is not even amy Of the cheap
chewing gum in the late machines. In
stead Of the indicator showing what
the result Of the first play will be, every
play is a gamble.
Winnings For House Heavy.
1t is said that the plan showing what
the winnings of the first nickel would
be hurt business.
one proprietor of downtown saloon
said that the winnings of the machine
in his place averaged about $75 per
week. Another said the profits from
the machine in his place reached 1925
