Burleson Developing His PLAN.

Washington. March 14-Postmaster-
General Burleson to-day began devel-
oping his plan to prescribe civil SER
vice examination for fourth-class post
masters. He consulted with Civil
Service. Commissioner John A. Nell
renny, who told him II would be prac-
teal to hold examinations that would
be true tests of the applicants ability.
The fourth class postma sters, nearly
10000 of them, now are in the CLASH
fed service, having been placed there
by executive orders under the Roose-
welt and Taft administrations Post
nfaster-General Burleson said to-day
that the spirit of the civil service was
violated In putting all these officers
into the classified service and that he
proposed to place them on strictly
civil service basis.
Many of those who to-day hold po-
sitions as fourth class postma sters,"
said Mr.. Burleson. secured them as
result OF pernicious political activity.
The Post-Office Department should be
a business institution, run on scien-
tific business lines. I intend to use
the weight of my influence to make 1t
SUCH"
He added that the plan on which he
was working was his own that he had
not discussed 1T with President Wilson.

What Kind of a Government
Is This?
A Government for Farmers or for Bankers?
Copyright 1879

In Germany the Government lends money to farmers at
cent year and eshe lending done by banks
agents representing the Government.
In France the Government lends hundreds of millions
farmers and little business through regular agents. per
cent and even less.
In the United States the Government lends money the
banks-chargng them per cent nothing ALL the
banks out Of of their mouths yell Murder and
Anarchy and say that they pay per cent
to the Government.
And out Of the other of the mouth they tell the
farmer that ridiculous for him expect to borrow money
less than per cent-AND THE AVERAGE LOAN TO THE
AMERICAN FARMER COSTS THE FARMER MORE THAN
8 PER CENT
Germany, unlike this land is republic blessed
bssful country ruled by Emperor and King-who
in his pretty well ruled by the Social Democratic Party
The German farmers, living under Emperor, get
money 4 per
The American farmers, blessed republic pay per
cent when their Government lends money the per
cent.
So this is the question:
Is the Government of the United States by bankers for
bankers BY farmers for farmer-and are more i'm
portant to the national wefare-farmers bankers?

always uppermost in the actions
Of our wealthy men. The writer
calls to mind a little happening
which is just now fresh IN the life
of at least one, the widow who
received a check of 500 from a
certain prominent lawyer Just a
few hours after she had lost her
son by death, the son her only
breadwinner. Being acquainted
with the fact that the young man
had been suddenly taken by aC-
cident, this lawyer, who has
money at his disposal at the
bank, knew that the widow need
ed cash, and lost no time in let
ting her have his check with

In Realm of Spirit.

I have never read anything
which puts the doctrine Of hered-
ity so strongly and which ex-
aggerates it, as I believe, out Of
all harmony with the facts of
human experience.
If DR.. White is right the con-
test going on daily within us is
a fierce struggle between ances-
trail forces, making for our veal
or our woe He leaves out alto
gether our struggle except against
vicious grandparents. that is the
daily, personal combat against
present day influences which find
their way within us and prove
hurtful or helpful, according to
their nature. The doctrine of evo-
luton has small space in the ar
ticle under discussion, and the
doctrine of environment no place.

The River of Sleep
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.


THERE are curious isles in the River of Sleep
Curious isles without number.
Wen visit them all as we lesurely creep
Down the winding stream whose current is deep,
IN our beautiful barge Of Slumber
The very first isle in this wonderful stream,
Quite close to the shore is lying.
And after supper of cakes and cream.
We come to the Night-AIare-Isle with scream,
And hurry away from it crying.
And next is the Island-of Lullaby,
And everyone there rejoices,
The winds only perfumed sigh,
And the birds that sing in the treetops try
To initiate Mothers voices.
little beyond is the Tsle-of-Dreams:
Oh, that is the place TO be strayng
Everything there is just it seems;
Dolls are real and sunshine CLEANS,
And no one calls us from playing.
And then we come to the drollest isle,
And the funniest sounds come pouring
Down from its borderlands once in while.
And we lean DER our barge and listen and smile;
For that is the Isle-of-Snoring.
And the very last isle in the River Of Sleep,
Is the sunshiny Isle-of- Waking.
We see it first with our eyes a-peep,
And we give yawn-then away we leap
The barge of SIumber forsaking.

to state an opinion Of my own
which I believe to accord with
the facts, a theory on which I
am stin working?
In the physical realm the law Of
heredity holds good absolutely in
most respects, vet there is a place
for advance which is undenlabla.
In the realm Of mind the law
Of heredlty holds good only in
part. Some children have the
mental characteristics to some
extent Of their parents or grand
parents.
In the realm OF spirit, the high
est department of mans being,
the law CT heredity fails abso-
lutely. In other words. every
child comes into this world in
nocent though not a Christian in
the full sense Of the word.

but because I choose to be what

Manager Yates of the Phoenix team arises to remark that the locals will win the test with Tempe next Thurs day at Grant Park. and that from that time on there will be no slumps or such exhibitions that characterised the national pastime on Sunday last when the Maroons went all to pieces without any provocation. Its win for Yates ana Phoenix or hunter for another job. This uItimatum was handed down yesterday after several conferences on the mat ter.
 The team will go into the field on Thursday with practically the same aggregation that put the sl<ids under the Butte watchers on August To- Whether or not Barngrover will pitch in that game depends upon the situa- ton on Thursday which is yet one day ahead. Anyway one thing is cer- tain and the fans can rest assured upon that point, and that is when bed- time comes for the players tonight they will be all in bed.
 Manager Yates made himself toler- ably clear to a bunch of the men this week, that batting in the midnight league doesn't count upon the average table of the Salt River Valley league, and that no player can play in both leagues and continue to hold his job, and that players cannot get assists and put outs on the field by getting as sisted from a place at midnight and put on the street. So far so good.
 There is more good news for the fans. Ferguson who was displaced at second base in Sundays game, will be seen cavorting around the keystone sack with all his young and native joyousness on Thursday afternoon.
