From very early times the word post and its compounds
the of postal service have had legitimate place in the
English language. The Encyclopedia Brttanca in its article
"PosOfice, refers counciposs penny post" and
the providing of horses TO persons riding post all in the
of mail service As early 1856 the lords of the council
deed that the postes between this and the Norhe should ece
of them keepe booke and make entye of every etre that he
shall receive And in 1868 proclamation cited rea-
tive to posmusters other officers that shall be employed

The Federal Postal service itself is based upon that pro-
vision of the u S Constitution proposed 1877 and adopted
1897 empowering Congress ITO establish post-ofces
post-roads.'
William Willis in his History of Portland, in treating
of the mail service Portland from 1860 1892 refers
post men appointed to ride upon the principal routes to the
post rider between Portsmouth and Falmouth and reg
ular line of posts between Falmouth and Savannah
1t is evident, therefore that by both the exica and popt
lar meaning of "post-oficers in 1870 it embraced post
masters.

Democratic Senators Moving Into
Choice office Rooms.

Washington, March 1S.-Democratic
senators began today to seize upon the
choice offices and committee rooms
that have been occupied by the Repub-
licans for years. The work of moving
will be pushed in order that the new
occupants may be comfortably settled
by the time the extra session convenes
April z. Practically every Democratic
senator will move.
Senator O'Gorman, of New York, who
has had to be satisfied with an office
in far off corner of the office build
ing under the Republican regime, will
move into the quarters formerly occupied
by Senator Penrose in the capitol. The
latter will move into the office build
ing. Senator Lodge will exchange Of
fees with Senator Tillman; Senator
Overman will occupy the suites formerly
used by Senator Crane; Senator Sim
mons will have the luxurious apart
ments of former Senator Aldrich; Sem
tor Bacon, as head of the foreign af-
fairs committee. today moved into
former Senator Cullom's office, and so
it is all along the line.

DIR. Friedman Ready to Treat
Rich or Poor.
Is Hampered, However, by
Health Board Rules.

New York, March 1S.-Dr. Fried
mann is ready to treat without charge
all sufferers from tuberculosis, ac-
cording to his brother, Arthur Fried
not to allow him to do SO. DR.. Fried
mann was refused permission by the
medical authorities of the city to give
his treatment except in connection
with certain hospitals. Since his ar
rival here hundreds of sufferers have
besought him to aid them.
Many of these people have come
from out of town and they can not
be taken in the city hospitals because
they do not live here Arthur Fried
mann declared.
He told of a victim of the disease
who had laid siege daily to DR.. Fried
mann at his hotel for ten days.
This man has temperature Of
from 104 to los and is walking about
the streets" said Mr.. friedman. HE
may drop dead in the street, but we
can not help him. DR.. Friedman can
treat only cases in hospitals and those
under care of government physi-
clan. There are hundreds of persons
in New York to whom he wants to
give his treatment for the benefit of
humanity, but his hands are tied. He
is eager to treat those patients, rich
and poor alike, without charge. IT
is a crime not to allow him to do
So"
pulmonary tuberculosis received DR..
Friedmann's treatment at Bellevue
hospital late yesterday. All of them
were in an advanced stage of the dis
ease. Some of the scores who waited
outside in the vain hope that they
might be given the treatment came in
automo biles. All were turned away
and only the cases previously selected
came to his attention.
The progress of the twelve persons
who received DR.. Friedmann's treat
ment for tuberculosis in Bellevue hos
pital yesterday will be told the public
by a daily series of bulletins from the
offices of the board of health. The
first of these bulletins will not be
issued, however, for a week. as no
change in the condition OF any of the
sufferers is expected within that time.
This will be the only means afforded
the public of watching the results of
DR.. F'riedmann's treatment. In the
other hospitals, which are private, no
announcement will be made of any
change in the condition of the pa
tieQtS.

HODGES SMILED
When Asked About Senatorial
Ambition.
He Will Run for Governor and
Brown for Senator.

Speaker w. L. (Ironjaw) Brown
denies most emphatically the reports
that there is even a possibility that he
may abandon his candidacy for the
United States senate in 1914 and seek
the Democratic gubernatoria1 nomina-
ton. On the other hand, Governor
George H. Hodges says he hasn't even
dreamed of running for the United
States senatorial toga next year.
Because Brown and Hodges have
been in frequent conference during the
session of the legislature, it was re-
ported that Brown would next year
be a candidate for the governorship
and that Hodges, satisfied with one
term in the governors chair, would be
a candidate for the United States SEN
ate. Only last Wednesday Brown
made formal announcement of his
candidacy for the United States sena-
torship TO succeed Joseph L. Bristow,
Republican. He objects quite siren
uously to being switched so early in
the game. In fact he declares that he
will keep his eye on the senatorial job
and is not now and will not be can
didate to succeed Hodges as governor
in 1914.
Brown before leaving for Lincoln,
Neb., to attend the Bryan birthday an
niversary dinner, that have formal
ly announced my candidacy for the
United States senate and don't want to
be switched to the governorship. The
fact is, am not, have not and Will not
be a candidate for governor next year.
i am a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator
and expect to make the fight of my
life to land the nomination. Whether
Governor Hodges runs for United
States senator at the same time, l
can't say. 1 am only certain that I
am going to stay in the senatorial
race"
Governor Hodges smiled when his
attention was called to the report.
Yes, / have read it, said the gov
ernor. Il hardly think it is necessary
to say anything, though. Since have
been in this office, I haven't talked
politics with anyone-not even Speak
er Brown. There isn't any deal for
anyone to run for anything, so far as
i know. During the next g months l
am going to devote my time to the
work of looking after the business of
this office. There will be plenty of
time then to talk politics. But as to
running for United States senator
next year, well 1 haven't even dreamed
of such a thing"
The report that Hodges plans to get
been accorded but little credit among
the men who watch Kansas politics.
While the governor does not make real
clear his exact plans for the future it
is considered quite improbable that he
would prefer to seek the sena torial
nomination in a field that is already
crowded rather than to win the al
most certain denomination as COVER
nor at the hands of his party.

RUINED BY ROBBERY.
New York Pawnshop Must Go Out of
Business.

New York. March 1S.-The men who
perpretrated the 100000 robbery in the
pawnshop of Martin Simon and Son, "a
Hester street, Sunday morning, must
have possessed definite knowledge of the
electric wiring by which the place was
supposedly made burglar proof. This is
the belief expressed by Deputy Police
Commissioner Dougherty. The police are
making a minute investigation of all who
had access to the pawn brokerage shop
and thus became cogniZant of the manner
against burglars. Both Martin Simon and
his son Max agree with the police that
the intruders must have known in ad-
vance how to avoid setting off an alarm
which would have brought the special
patrolmen of the burglar company to the
scene.
1.-The men who committed this deed,
young Simon said, used much skill IN
passing the electric wiring to the walls,
first in the basement and then up in
the shop. This means that they knew how
the wires were laid. Then they drilled
into the safe in such a way that they
just passed the wires that protected it,
"Our concern was a family business.
None but relatives worked In the place
The few others who came in, 1t seems to
me- must have been exceptionally keen
to have learned all they did without be-
coming suspected.
Our loss is at least $250,0Oo 1t means
we are ruined and must forever close
our business. 1t is nothing, however,
compared to the loss of our customers
All the articles pledged were worth more
than the money we gave them And be-
sides this we had much property from
other pawnbrokers brought to us for safe
keeDing."
