OUR FUTURE POSTMASTER


If ANYTHING were needed 10 prove
the progressivism of the Wilson
administration. it was the recent CT
der OF Postmaster General Burleson
respecting candidates to be pos =
masters.
The order insists that hereafter
men who aspire to be postmasters
in small towns must be prepared 10
give all their time to the work The
department will no longer permit
its employees to regard the pcst-
masters office as a side issue for
some other business.
Since the people contribute the
money to pay the salary, the people
have the right to expect that the
postmaster himself is earning it,
instead of letting his subordinates
DO all the work.
MIR. Burleson shreW dly suspects
hat i. the postmasters devote their
antire business time to their work.
there will be need for fewer subor-
linates, and thus a great economy
VIII be effected
Every Republican administration
for the past sixteen years has re-
garded postoffices as legitimate
game for political job hunters. Nc
kinley pestmasters We're thrown out
to make room for Roosevelt post
masters, and so on = The Republi-
can factions fought among themselves
for the spo:ls.
But how different the actions of
the Democrats! Never before in our
history have the qualifications o.
candidates for postoff' ce jobs been
examined with such care.
And now comes the order that
candidates must actually have some
qualifications. other than political
2nes, before they can secure APP
pointment.
For sixteen years under Republican
rule the small town postoffice has
been political reward pure and
simple. And as a result, fully two
thirds of the postotfices of the United

Of freight Friday m @rning. The
crash of the broken timbers caused
quite stampede to the scene cf the
accident.
The Julia B. had been unloading
her cargo at the warehouse in ques-
ton for the past several days, and
owing to the foundation being I'M
dermined by the recent rains and
the immense ght beng placed
upon it the timbers gave way, tumb-
ling the stored goods in every di-
rection.
There were two fortunate incidents
in connection with the collapse the
first being that something more than
dozen men were working in the
building at the time and every one
escaped without a single injury, and
the second that the floor was the
only part of the building that col
lapsed, the roof merely taking on the
curvature of the foundation but re-
naming in place. Had the roof col
lapsed there is no doubbt but that
fatalities would have resulted

THE BLUFF THAT FAILED.

Recent telegraphic dispatches dis
close the fact that Special Repre-
sentative FeliX Diaz has Cancelled
his dates in Japan and will Z, to
Europe instead. One of the reasons
assigned is because the Emperor of
Japan does NOT want to sec him of
tfcially. This brings me TO The 20 nj
OF my story.
Il looks to me like the bluff had
been carried right to the gangplank
of the steamer Provisi nal Presi-
dent Huerta has tried by every
known device to gain recognition o.
his 1in-foil government by the Tn ted
States. but has failed in every in
stance. He has insulted Uncle Sam
times innumerable and laid al the
blame on the rebels in the hope that
the United States would intervene
and stop something VIII oh he him

The real bluff that he wanted to

States and Japan he Thought Wood

that this special representative was

LAZY LIVER
A Lazy Liver Needs a Dose Of Dodson's
Liver Tone Guaranteed to Take
Place OF Calomel.

When your doctor looks to see if
your tongue is coated, he is trying to
find out if your liver is working prop
erly. A few years ago doctors had
to prescribe calomel-there was moth
ing else to give.
Recently in many sections Of the
country Dodson's Liver Tone has prac-
tically taken the place of calomel as a
liver remedy. Dodson's Liver Tone
is mild, pleasant tasting and harmless
which makes it a fine medicine for

If you continually complain of pains
in the stomach, your liver or your
kidneys are out of order. Neglect
may lead to dropsy, kidney trouble,
diabetes or Brights' disease. Thous-

the very best stomach and kidney
medicine made. H. T. Aston, of

in the stomach and back, writes:
