EDITORIAL PACE

At the time the original appoint ment was made the postOftice de partment did not know that Myer was a republican; it did not know that Hall was holding state or county office. Myer was appoint ed as making the second highest rating. But before Myers commits sion was forwarded him, Hall, thru Representative Underwood, entered protest against his appointment, be- cause he was a republican, and his appointment was rescinded. When, eventually, Hall had to give up the office because of the publicity given the case by Representative smith the department refused again to ap- point Myer, notwithstanding his high rating, above that of Mrs. Wells The office pays $S9S a year.

WERE RULES MANIPULATED?

That Postmaster General Burie- son is manipulating the civil ser vice To oust republican postmasters and give their jobs to democrats has many times been charged, says the Tacoma Daily News, and an illuminating case has come to light in Idaho City, Ida.
 The term of the postmaster expir- ed last spring. A civil service eN- animation was held April 26, and three names were certified to the postmaster general. They were Arthur A. Hall, democrat, 92.55 per cent; John Il. Myer, republican 9l .45 per cent. and Mrs. M. Il. Wells, democrat, S7.2O per cent.
 shortly after taking the eXamin- atiou. Mr. Hall was appointed dep uty tax collector of Boise county at SIU0 a month. Under the law a pei son occupying a state or municipal office cannot serve as postmaster Mrs Wells. about the same time moved away. June %0 Myer was uo- ufied that he had been appointed and was told to forward bond. He sent his bond and expended conSid- erable money equippiug his store for postofttce. Then he waited. His commission did not come, and on August 4, after waiting more than a month. he wrote Congressman smith to have the commission for vardyd At the postoftice depart mrut lJr. smith was told that the appointment had been rescinded and that Hall had been appointed. It then developed that Hall had a friend in Representative Underwood of Alabama. and that he had been appointed in violation of law, in that he refused to relinQuish his office as deputy tax collector but intended to turn over the postottice to a deputy. which also is contrary 10 law.
 Representative Smith proteste 10 the civil service commission and particularly did he protest agains the appointment of man holding and refusing to relinquish a state office. He also protested to Post master General Burleson. The com mission held that the department wa within it's power in withdrawing My CTS appointment and appointing Hall, and ignored the disqualified ton of Hall, because he held a state office
 However. Representative smith was not content. He procured doe umeuyary proof that Hall continue 10 hold his job as tax collector and demanded the reappointment of My TT. Before this letter could be act gd upon, HaH. on Aug. l9, telegraph ed his resignation to the pOstOftice department, and three days after the department wrote RepresentatiH Smith that it had notifiel Hall he must either relnuuish his job as tax collector. or withdraw from the postotiice. Mr. smith then present ed Myers bond to the postmaster general. and again asked for his appointment. Nothing was done un- iii Sept. 6. when Mrs. NJ. s. Wells was appointed posJmistress. Mrs. Wells will more back, now that she IS pOstmistresS.

Women Suffrage

oar Legislature is to he commend
I'd for showing Willingness to sub
init constitutional amendment for
woman suffrage. The Citizen has
always maintained that women
should lac given the right to vote.
The supreme Court of the United
States in II case that went up from
Missouri held that "A woman was n
citizen. The logic then Is rcsistlrss.
R"iug u. citizen, woman is entitled
To every right that belongs to IA citi.
zen IN our republic. The right to
vote is an inalicuuhle right Of every
citizen. There are those who would
limit the RIGHT of suffrage to citizens

our institutions, but this would APP
ply Il. much tu man a. to woman.

would have women vote whether

est moral problem in the life of our

need their pure moral characters
the Consciencos Of women at the
polls. Good men will vote against
their cOnsciences because they are
afraid of injuring their business. A
good woman never will. She will
