Concerning Federal Appointnents.
Answering correspondents query.
Robert Montgomery, editor Of the Puy-
arup Valley Tribune, commented a.
follows in the last issue concerning a
much-mooted question:
President Taft has recently made
over 1000 appointments-some Of them
Ia positions OF considerable Importance.
The obvious injustice of q Democratic
Observation-Disclosures with respon-
sibility for carrying out policies to
which 1t is committed-being obliged
to depend upon men, through whom 1t
must work, who are frankly opposed to
its purposes, ought to suggest to our
correspondent the answer to his own
question.
Certainly all appointments-which
by their very nature are not removed
from the sphere of pOlitics-ought to
terminate with the expiration of the
power to which they o,oe their exist.

or consistent? 1t is not q question of
spoils or of political rewards, but SIM
ply matter of having in positions un-
der the administration men who I'M
derstand and who are in sympathy
with its aims, objects, policies and
principles"

The college at Pullman is not sa-

gests that the state legislature appoint
a committee to inspect the college. In

TT woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be a
n;ature of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health.
In the majority of cases the basis OF
health and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action Of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indigestible
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever tn particular
cause may be it is important that the
condition should corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
ouirements, is DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin. which thousands of women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker,
