EFFICIENCY THE TEST
PosTMAsTERs WHO ARE NOT
MAKING GOOD DROPPED.
No Wholesale Dismissal In Order, but
Where Mr.. Republican Is Fall
Ing Down, Mr.. Democrat
Takes the Job.

Heads Of Republican postmasters,
are falling. Let 1t be noted at this
juncture, for there will probably be
something of an cutlery about 1t
little later. And by that is meant the
heads of Republican postmasters who
have not served their allotted four
years. Postoflce inspectors have been
scurrying up and down the land.
Some weeks ago, It transpires, Post
master General Burleson gave word
to the little army Of inspectors to go
out and see what was doing. There
we're instructions how TO proceed, and
now the returns are beginning to come
in. Reports are pouring in upon the
chief inspector, who Is looking the
documents over, and in certain cases
in numerous cases, as a matter OF
fact-these reports are going up to
the postmaster general.
The result? Requests are going out
for Republican postmasters to quit.
1t Is not to be inferred that there Is
in progress a Wholesale dismissal OF
Republican postmasters. Nothing OF
the kind. But good many are slated
to go, and these are to be disposed OF
in the name OF better efficiency. II
Mr.. Republican is not conducting his
office right up to snuff, If he is not
above reproach on the standard Of a
good, stiff inspection, he must steT
aside and let Mr.. Democrat in. Hun
dreds, possibly thousands, of post
masters named by Taft are to be lei
out In this fashion.

Tariff Morality,

The late Senator Dolliver declared
that a protective tariff builds up Its
own system OF ethics, which is differ
ent from any code ever sanctioned
by any moral teacher whom the world
cares to remember.
The present inquiry at Washington
confirms Delivers statement. The
capital is thronged, not by lobby"
we are gravely informed, but by rep
utable business men" who want spe-
cial favors. These business men
are seeking to protect their bust
ness"-at the public expense. They
are asking laws which will give them
money taken from other peoples peck
cts They are explaining how much
richer and happier the country will
be, II the protected interests" are
given keys to the national treasury
and allowed to help themselves.

Some OF the trials and tribulations

beginning to dog the footsteps OF

Bad In Many Features.

That the tariff has served a great
and useful purpose will not, we think,
be denied in any quarter. But 1t has
in processes OF time and OF economic
development become involved with
grievous abuses. Special interests
profiting under the system, have
sought and attained influence in ar
ranging the schedules and have so
fixed them as to place upon some ele-
ments OF the community hardship and
injustice for the benefit OF schemers
and manipulators. The tariff has be-
come, not indeed thing wholly bad,
but bad In many of its features.

FEEDING STUCK IN KINGFlSHER
r. L. PATTON is CONDUCTING
CAREFUL EXPERIMENTS
Finds an Actual Profit Of $1,74o In
Feeding Up Bunch Of So
Head Of Steers.

F. L. Patton Of Kingflsher county
has been making some careful expert
ments in feeding steers, with kafir
as his staple ration. When he re.
Gently sold bunch Of So head, he
gave out his balance sheet. 1t will
be seen that the enterprise was very
profitable to Mr.. Patton. 1t can be
made OF incalculable benefit to the
county, as 1t demonstrates what can
be done on any farm in the county.
Below is Mr.. Patton's statement con-
corning the cost, cost of feeding and
the sale of the cattle fed by him:
Original cost SO head of steers $3.50
Amount paid for pasture. .., IS
Amount paid for kafir corn. .. 900
Amount paid for grinding kafir. 1876
Amount paid for indian corn. $50
Amount paid for hay at the end
of the feeding period .... rs
Silage fed to these cattle cost. $50
This latter amount includes the cost
of raising the ensilage as well as the
cost of putting the same in the silo
The aggregate makes total invest
ment of $4,OS5.
These cattle sold for $4,S25, making
net profit of $74O. The gain OBJ
tanned from the hogs running after
these cattle would amount to $1,000
making a total profit on the SO head
of cattle of about $1,74O.

belief. He apparently thinks the

that the country is thoroughly advised
as to what is coming and that the
thing now wanted is to have the
change made quickly and the new
schedules put into operation so that
business may be adjusted to them.

MEDICAL INSPECTION OF

! The Davenport Democrat reports
that medical inspection in the public
schools OF that city has already prov
ed its value, and new me - of evil
dent worth is that by which, with the
cooperation of the dentists o: the
city, 1t is proposed to have necessary
dental work done for the children
whose families are too poor to pay
for the same. For years the school
board has given free examination of
eyes and furnished glasses to chill
dren who needed them and whose
parents could not afford to provide
them. In speaking further of the mat
ter the Democrat says:
These are not fads. They are
means by which the school board is as
s1sting In marking future valuable
citizens by correcting physical trou-
bles and then giving the boy or girl
practical training for life
Just now Marshalltown is taking an
inventory of itself along the same
line, and on the authority of the
Times-Repubican is unable to under
stand why so obvious and imperative
need should be neglected in city of
so high general citizenship" In this
conclusion the T.-R. agrees. It re-
CARDS medical inspection as necessary
and in the course of an article on the
subject says:
We spend great deal Of money on
the schools. We ought to get the
most out of it. The schools to have
the highest effectiveness in creation
of citizenship must have as little de
fective material as possible The
horseman who finds his growing colt
losing flesh looks after the cause.
There is not swine raiser who does
not carefully look after physical ills
and defects of his herd. Surely we
should give every school child an
equal chance with the colts and the
pigs. Bad teeth. bad eyes, detective
the mental and physical efficiency OF
the pupil is direct loss to the tax
payer and infinitely more to the child.
And this is quite as true OF rural
as to town schools. AS an instance: A
teacher was talking over the telephone
to one of her patrons of rural school
urging that the little boy OF the pa
tron should have his eyes examined
and cared for properly. 1t developed
that the grandmother in the family
was convinced that the boy didn't
reed glasses or treatment and that
the boy was merely lazy and dumb
in school. So the teacher plead In
vain. Grandma overruled the special
lists and had her way.
Medical inspection at least such IN
spection as shall result in correction
of eve troubles, and attention to the
teeth and throats of children is de-
manded by common sense and piain
economy of school money and citizen
ship"
/ This is the verdict Of the best
authorities everywhere and 1t Is one
from which there is no escape. Where
ever it has been tried medical inspec-
tion of the public schools has demon
strated its value as an aid to educa-
ton. 1t is no longer an experiment
but an absolute prerequisite to the
best educational results.

A man in Chicago who heard that
because of the presence of the women
judges and clerks, there is to be no
smoking or chewing in election places,
wrote to the judges that he did not
object as long as the women did not
use perfume. Much of the perfume,
he said, was worse than cigar smoke,
and there are many who will agree
with him. Musk is particularly OBJ
jectionable, as well it may be consid-
ering its source. The odor of tan
yard is preferable to that of some
perfumes when used In excess.
