two years as teacher in Porto Rico,
followed by her four years in Mad

bued her with the Spanish life, its
customs and language, that we felt
the very atmosphere of old Madrid
about us, as she painted in graphic
pictures their school life, their ro-

their ever prominent amusement the

At 10 a. m, June IL, 1913, in

Chicago, there will be a convention
of country publishers of the United
States. This gathering is called at
the request of hundreds of publish

the National Organizing Committee
appointed by the Washington State

More foreign advertising at bet
ter rates for the country papres.
The abolition OF all free adver-

Addresses will be made by men
of national prominence in the pub
fishing world.
AS it was impossible to guarantee
the number of publishers who will
be present, no special railroad rates
can be secured, but the date has
been selected so that those desiring
to attend can take advantage of the
low summer schedules, and to suit
the convenience of those who will
attend the meeting of the National
Press Association.
Publishers who propose to attend
the Chicago Convention are urgent
ly requested to notify the chairman
of the committee, Arthur A. Hay,
Camas, Washington, so that prop
er arrangements can be made.
Please do not fail to do this.
Fraternally,

Value Of GoOd Roads.

Summarizing In paragraph some
of the advantages of good roads, a
set of resolutions adopted by an
Illinois Good Roads Association
says: Improved roads mean bet
ter schools and larger attendance,
better health and quicker transpor-
tation, better farms and more cul-
:ivated land, better crops and cheap
er transportation, better economic
conditions and more producers, bet
te: social conditions and less isola-
lion, better church attendance and
better citizens, better postal SER
vice and closer friends, better bust
ress and more consumers, better
industries and more employment, a
better state and better nation"
These are all things quite worth
while. Good roads cost money, but
the returns compensate for the ex-
Lenditure.

Improved Service.
(By Clyde H. Havenner)

(By Clyde II. HaVenner)
Washington, April 30.-If any
thing was needed to prove the pro-
gressivism of the Wilson Admins
tration, it was the recent order of
Postmaster General Burleson, re-
specting candidates to be postmas-
tiers.
The order insists that hereafter
men who aspire to be postmasters
In small towns must be prepared to
give all their time to the work.
The Department will no longer per-
NIT its employees to regard the
postmaster's office as side issue
for some other business.
Since the people contribute the
money to pay the salary, the peo-
PIE have the right to expect that
the postmaster himself is earning
it, instead of letting his subordi
nate do all the work.
Mr.. Burleson shrewdly suspects
that if the postmasters devote their
there will be need for fewer subor-
dinates, and thus a great economy
will be effected.
Every Republican Administration
for the past 16 years has regarded
postoffices as legitimate game for
political job hunters. Mckinley
postmasters were thrown out to
make room for Roosevelt postmas-
tiers, and so on. The Republican
factions fought among themselves
for the spoils.
But how different the actions of
the Democrats. Never before in
our history have the qualifications
Of candidates for postoffice jobs
been examined with such care.
And now comes the order that
candidates must actually have some
qualifications, other than political
ones, before they can secure ap-
pointment.
For 16 years under Republican
rule the small town postoffice has
been a political reward pure and
simple. And as result, fully two
thirds of the pcstoffices of the
United States are filled with men
who continue some other line of
business activity. They. are mer-
chants, manufacturers and bankers.
Once day they drop in at the post
office to see if everything is run
ming all right, and then are free for
the rest of the day to pursue their
private money-making. The $4,000,
$4,000. $4,000 or $500 which they
draw in salary is pure velvet" The
low paid clerks do the work.
Mr.. Burleson has informed the
Democratic applicants that this
practice must cease. Only efficient
men, and men who will give COM
plete attention to their postoffice
duties. will be appointed. Somehow
this doesn't sound like the spoils
system against which the Republi-|
cans were warning the country last
fall.
would like to predict that for
every professional politician often
ded by the order, there will be five
or six votes created for the Demo-
cratic party by decency, honesty
and economy in the Administration
of the postoffice department.
I hope that the Administration
will not swerve from it's announced
policy. And after it has thrown
from office the professional politi-
clans drawing the salaries, while
doing little or none of the work,
hope that the Civil Service will be
extended to protect permanently the
good men who will be placed in the
thousands of postoffices by the pres
emit Administration.
