BRANDEGEE HELPS
 U s. MARSHAL HAWLEY
Deficiency Bill Will Square Up Sum
 lie Paid to Baiiffs.

At least one United States marshal is pleased. that President Wilson has signed the urgent deficiency bill, as it relieves the mind of United States Marshal Sidney F. HawIev of Con necticut of consi serab ble worry over $1,068. it being understood at the pres ent moment that the deficiency bill carries the amendment of Senator Frank B. Brandegee providing for the squaring up of that account with the government
 Some time ago Marshal Hawley se- cured advice from the department of justice in Washington that he could pay his bailiffs by the day when they acted as bailiffs and the same persons in fees when they acted as deputy marshaIs. Accordingly, Marshal Flaw ley paid out to his baiIiffs $1,068 of the governments money. when he was notified from Washington that his ac- counts had been run over and that he should return $1.06S to the depart ment of justice which he had illegally paid out. as there is a federal law that deputy United States marshal cannot be paid for services as a bailiff
 COnSidera ble correspondence with the department has resulted to the marshal. the authorities at Washing ton practically telling him that al though advised by the department to pay his bailiffs he had done so illegally Marshal Hawley did not feel like go- ing to his bank and turning over $l,068, and he made personal trips to Washington on the matter. He ap- peared before the judiciary committee which, hearing the evidence in the matter. said that 1t could not see where the marshal had done wrong: but there seemed to be no help for the legal sit uation and the deficiency bill was re- f4 i'm n fIa ter up.
 Now the deputy marsha1s act as bailiffs within their salary and for any trips out of their home towns on bus mess the deputy marshals receive re- muneratton fer their expenses.

It is Ithe impression in Washingten.

It is the impression in Washington, according to a dispatch from there, that republican poStmaSterS and their 1 assistants and cashiers have a slim hope If they are relying upon the civil service law to protect them in their places. Just before he vacated the presidential chair, President Taft put them under the protection of the civil service law but it is pointed out in Washington that former Attorney General Wickersham himself a very good republican, too, has expressed an opinion, the application of which Is, in effect, that assistant postmasterS and cashiers and other appointees of the postmaster cannont come under the operation of the civil service law but are to retire from office when the postmaster who named them for their various offices retires upon the ex piration of the term for which he was named.
 That opinion came from MT. Wick erSham just before the republican national administration passed out of existence, and while it was not called out by any question that had come up concerning postoffice employees, it was nevertheless brought out in con- sequence of an issue that had been raised about another arm of the na- tional government and that was the internal revenue department. That ruIlng stood from that time on, eX- cept of course. where congress in it's wisdom might see fit to nulify it.
 Some one had raised the point that those officials of the internal revenue department who had not been sub jected to the civil service examination but who had, by a ruling of the department, come under the benefits of civil service, could therefore hold on to their jobs should there be a change in the national administration from republican to democratic. It was then that MT. Wickersham was requested for an opinion and he de- clared that those who had not ae- tually been tried by the civil service examinations and passed them would have to march out of their offices when the term of the collector of the district expired.
 Fifty in This State.
 It was stated that in Connecticut for instance there are somewhere in the neighborhOod of fifty such ap- pointees in the postoffices who have never taken the civil tests yet who are holding down high salaried jobs, having been selected for such places by the pOstmasteTs because of pc litical prominence or because of their work for the republican party in

NTERURBAN RAILWAYS.

The increase in population, both
urban and rural, in the southeastern
part of the state in the past few years
has been remarkable. While a num-
Der of contributing causes for this
advancement might be found, prob
ably the most important is its system
of interurban electric railways.
Most of the larger cities from Cof-
feyyille to Pittsburg are linked to-
gether by trolley lines and extensions
are now being projected as far north
as lola with the ultimate design of
reaching Kansas City.
Electricity has proven to be no less
a boon to the country than to the
city At the time of the starting of
the first electric car in 1888 there
was a combined mileage of less than
5000 miles of horse car, cable system,
as we'll as steam dummy lines, in the
United States, while today there are
more than $4,000 miles of electric
street and interurban railway lines,
employing more than 275,oO0 men
and carrying over twelve billion pas
sengers annually.
The electric railway no longer stops
at the city limits. but pushes on into
the country, tnto territory already
served by steam lines, and becomes a
formidable competitor with the steam
lines for passenger, express and
/ freight business; they are able to give
/ rapid and frequent service to their
patrons. a thing that is a great slim
illus to the development of the subur-
| ban and rural communities.
The advantages Of the interurban to
community are enumerated by w. A.
Scothorn in the Public Service Maya
zine as follows:
1t enables community residents to
| make their journeys to the citys in a
comfortable manner and return to their
home without any great loss of time
with cheap, frequent service 1T enables
1 the rural sons anu daughters to avail
themselves of an opportunity to attend
the city and county high schools, as
4 well as the local business college,
which is to be found in every live city,
| they can satisfy their desires to at
tend the opera and other entertain
ments and still be back home for the
their way through the house by the
light of a candle or oil lamp either as
| the electric current is conveyed into
| their homes, where it not only lights
the premises but is used for motive
power in operating feed mills. churn
washer and the pumping of water for
| irrigating as well as for other pur-
! poses. Present day interurban railway
road beds no longer consist of the pre-
determined street or country road
grade but are now carefully surveyed
on private right-of-way and are con-
structed with easy grades and curves
equal to the best steam lines, it having
been demonstrated to operators that q
1 good road bed is necessary where high
speed and frequent service is to be
given; and, too, such service makes II
possible for the country and village
merchants to order supplies by phone

EVENING CEAT
Interrupting Oneself.
BIZ RUTa CAMERON.

Once upon time, when 1 was a lit
tie school girl 1 funked an examina-
ton in a subject which 1 liked, and
which I understood fairly WELL And
this was the reason for my failure: the
time was rather short and 1 was nerv-
Gus, and so, instead of concentrating
on each problem, finishing that and
going on to the next. I huttered franti-
cally from one to the other and at the
end of the time had only solved one
problem out of five.
1 am relating that sad passage in
my personal history because 1 so often
think of it when 1 see myself and other
workers dissipating energy by hutter-
ing from one task to another.
For instance, the other day 1 started
to dust the living room. AS 1 was
busting the table 1 noticed that the
lamp chimney needed washing, and
laid aside my buster, took the Chin
ney out into the kitchen and washed
it. While there, / stopped to make out
the order list and it was some time
before 1 took up my busting again.
l really meant to finish in a rush
this time, but 1 only rot as far as my
desk There my eye lit upon a library
book which was due that day, and L
FASTENED to the telephone to renew it,
While at the phone I took the oppor-
the way back to the living room 1 saw
a spot on the hall carpet that ought
to be cleaned at once, and-wen, the
upshot of the whole matter was that
when a neighbor ''dro. ped in" at IL
O'Clock I had not finished duseing the
living room, though 1 started at half
past nine.
Perhaps I'm more easily distracted
than the average woman. but from
what 1 have seen of other women, 1
should say that great many of them
frequently make the mistake of dissi-
pating their energy this way.
For I think it is a mistake to f1utter
from one duty to another and it does
dissipate ones enrgy.
OF course, each thing I interrupted
myself to do was something that had
to be done sooner or later, and of
course, each duty would take about the
same length of time whenever it was
done. And yet, though it may seem
paradoxical, 1 still feel sure that one
gets things done more quickly by stick
ing to one task until it is finished and
then taking up another.
The shifting of ones attention. and
the moving from one place to another
as in the case of my going ont into
the kitch7 in to wash the lamp CHM
ney-eat up a little time and since
most of us find our day so terribly in
adequate to do half our living in. even
the Titles of time must be looked az
ter.
