No Mail to Be Distributed on SUNDAY
Hereafter Postmaster Thorson Gets
Orders From Washington
IMPORTANT MATTER EXCEPTION

Sunday Observance is coming more
and more in vogue, the sentiment in
its favor having grown so rapidly the
past few years that with nearly all
large corporations only in the case OF
the most urgent lines of work is SUI
day labor required.
This disposition toward the obsery-
ance of the Sabbath has become so
marked that it now applies largely to
railroads and recently the postoffice de
partment has been gradually working
toward the elimination of Sunday work
in order that tine employees of the ser
vice might have as much as possible
of the day for rest, recreation and self
Improvement.
Some months ago the Glenwood office
began the Sunday observance by re-
fusing to open the general delivery
window on Sunday, only patrons hav-
ing lock boxes being able to get their
mail on the Lord g day. While it was
freely predicted by many that this
plan would result in much disappoint-
ment and complaint, such was not the
case and the people readily and good
naturedly adapted themselves to the
new conditions just as they always do
when necessary, and now we are told
that the department favors a further
reduction in the labor of the postal
clerks and carriers on Sunday.
Early this week Postmaster Thorson
received the following letter of in
struction which is self explanatory:
"The postoffice appropriation act for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1913,
provides:
=" That hereafter postoffices of the
first and second class shall not be open
on Sunday for the purpose of deliver
ing mail to the general public, but Ia 5
provision shall not prevent the prompt
delivery of special delivery mail
''Under this law you will close the
general delivery. carriers window and
lock boxes and discontinue all deliver
les by carriers on Sunday. You will
note, however, that special delivery
mail is excepted and you will therefore
arrange to have on duty sufficient
force to handle this mail matter
promptly.
''The department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so that
as many of the employees as possible

Greeley, Aug. 2s.-''If I am elected
governor of Colorado | will veto every
appropriation in excess of the esti-
mated income prepared by the auditor,

In the above language Clifford Z.
Parks, republican assembly candidate
for the primary nomination for gover-
nor opened his campaign in Greeley to
night. His statement met with round
of applause from the crowd that was

"a complete answer to, the address OF

night in which he, Shafroth, excused

saying that an appropriation is not a

THE SMITHS RETURN TO KANSAS

DR.. and Mrs. j. Clyde Smith left last
Monday for Hutchinson, Kansas, where
they will reside in the future, DR..
Smith having formed a partnership
with prominent specialist having "a
lucrative practice in that city.
DR.. Smith came to Glenwood four
years ago and established a practice
which has constantly grown until the
business he recently turned over to Dr.
Hutchison is considered one of the
best that can be found anywhere in .
town the size of Glenwood.
Although a general practitioner DIR.
Smith has confined himself almost ex-
clusively while in Glenwood to special
eye, ear, nose and throat work and in
these lines he has been remarkably sxc-
cessful, many of his patients coming
from as far away as one hundred miles
to avail themselves of his skill in these
branches. 4+F--e .l- q

gram and introduced the speakers just
as though he enjoyed it.
The governor made a forceful talk IN
praise of his administ tration and did d
good job of covering up the many
points in which the people are vitally
interested and took care to explain only
those things with record that looks
fairly good when given orally or in
print.
He touched very lightly on the finan-
cial condition in which the democrats
have placed the state but denied tha.
his administration has run the state in
debt as has been charged by the repub-
licans. He neglected to explain, how
ever, how he admitted less than year
ago that there was no money to conduct
the educational institutions and then
when citizens of the state started to
pass the hat to save our schools from
closing, suddenly found a way - keen

Fortunately for the governor Judge
Riddle rendered a decision holding the
initiative and referendum act unconsti-

time to Judge Riddle the governor was
able to pass over his own mismanaged
administration with very little detailed
reference to the sins of omission an1

FIGHTING IRRIGATION DISTRICT

Last Monday the county commission
ers met to consider the petition for
the organization of the Divide Creek
Irrigation district and they found that
in addition to the petition requestir Z
the district there was strong protest
against it.
Nearly all of the original petitioners
had withdrawn from the petition and
Joined In protest against the forma-
ton of the district. About fifteen of
the ranchmen from the Divide creek
country We're in attendance as pro-
testahts, claiming that the district was
not needed and that its formation
would work great hardship to them.
They employed c. w. Darrow to rep
resent them and Darrow made his first
fighttby attacking the bond of the pc
titioners. In this he was sustained
and ? new bond required. Attorney
Kenworthy filed a new bond at the
time he rendered the petition and then
asked leave to dismiss the petition.
Darrow threatened to file the pro
test if the petition were filed and Mr..
Kenwprthy then took down his petl-
tion Without filing. 1t is understood
that another advertisement will be
made {and another petition filed just
as sodn as possible and that the pro-
moters of the district expect to con
tinue their efforts until success is as
sured.

Republicans should remember that a
complete party organization must be
elected at the primaries that are to be
held September 10. The old manner of
selecting precinct, county and state
party officials is done away with and Il
new order installed. Under the new
primary law a precinct committeeman
and committeewoman are elected by
the members of the party in each pre-
cinct. These officials constitute the
county central committee. Later they
meet with the county candidates and
elect county committeeman, commit
teewoman and secretary The county
committeeman is the county chairman,
and the county committeewoman is the
county vice chairman. The various
county committeeman and committee
women constitute the state central
committee and stu later they meet
with the state and legislative candi-
dates and the hold-over senators be
longing to their respective parties and
elect a state chairman and state secre-
tary. 1t is not mandatory that the
county chairman and vice chairman and
secretary be selected from the mem
bers Of the county central committes
Under these circumstances it behooves
every republican to attend the pr.
maries and assist in the selection OF
his precinct committeeman and com
mitteewoman. If the party control is
secured after every republican has pa'-
ticipated in the primaries no one can
object. On the other hand if some re
publican fails to participate he has nc
right to object if the future organ1za-
tion of the party does not suit his
views.
