HER DEFENDER

A heart may beat true under
the raggedest coat. That instinct
of chivalry which rushes to the
defense of the weak and the op-
pressed dwells in every manly
boys bosom, be he rich or poor,
big or little.
He wasn't very big, but he
was a sturdy little chap, with a
face that bore the marks of much
thinking and premature respon-
sibility. He was calling his pa
per good and loud on the corner
of two streets.
A raggsd young girl was SELL
ing flowers near by, when a man,
rushing to catch his car, knock
ed her against the side of the
building. Without stopping,
probably without noticing what
he had done, he continued his
rush, when the boy stepped in
front of him defiantly: Say
what do you want to knock girl
down for? Hit me; I'm big
enough"
The man paused in surprise,
and then glanced around. He
saw the f1ower-girl picking up
her wares; and understood.
Without a moments hesitation
he went back to her, gave her
enough money to make her eyes
sparkle with joy, and. said:
Pm sorry, my dear, that l
hurt you. | didn't see" Then
turning to the boy, he continued:
You said you were big enough,
young man, but you're a great
deal bigger than you think. Men
like you will have lot to do
with keeping this world in con-
dition of self-respect."
Then he caught his car, and
the boy and girl stood there Won
dering what he meant. S. S.
Messenger.

MORE HEAVY STEEL

The Missouri Pacific Iron
Mountain has just about com
pleted the laying of the heavy
80 pound steel rail authorized
IN q er last years program of
track improvement onthe system.
"A vast quantity of it has been put
on the main through..line to Colo
RADIO and the West, including one
solid stretch Of sixty miles be,
tween SedaIia and Pleasant Hill.
The rail also went on the main
line of the Kansas Division be-
tween Leeds Mo-, and Stilwell,
Kansas. There was another
stretch laid on the Omaha Divi-
sion between Kansas City and
Leavenworth. On the main line
to the South considerably over
100 miles have been relaid be-
tween Kimmswick and Popular
Bluff on the Missouri Division,
and nearly as much between
Little Rock and Texarkana.
In order that the work of bring
ing the track up to the highest
standard may continue. Presi-
dent B. F Bush, has already
authorized this year the purchase
of % 900 additional tons of 90
pou nd steel to be placed in track.
OF this amount, 10000 tons will
I be put on the main line to the
West, releasing 75-pound rail be
tween Ottawa and Council Grove
Kansas, and 4,305 tons will go
to the Omaha division between
Atchison and Baker, Kansas.
The Omaha Division is already a
fine piece of track, almost four
thousand tons of heavy steel rail
having been laid on it d ur n G
1912. With the completion of
the work planned foi 1913 this
stretch of the road will be as fine
as the best in the country
In anticipation of large crops
during 1918 the work of putting
in the heavy rail will be pushed
to completion as rapidly as pos
sible, the management desiring
to have the roadbed in the best |
possible condition, The old rail
taken out of the track is sent to
the mills and re-rolled into new
steel and then relaid on the min
on branches of the road. displac-
in old light rail.

Letter

1 Warrington, April 30-If any
thing was needed to prove the pro-
gressivism of the Wilson admininis-
tration. it was the recent order of
Postmaster General Burleson, re-
specting candidates to be postmast-
ers.
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 employers to regard the
postmaster's office as side issue
for some other business.
Since the people contribute the
money to pay the salary, the people
Shave the right to expect that the
postmaster himself is earning it,
instead of letting his subordinate
do all the work. gs.
Mr Burelson shrewdly suspects
that if the postmasters devote
their entire business time to their
work, there will be need for fewer
subordinates, and thus a great
economy will be- effected. .--..s - =.
Every Republican administration
for 81 past 16 years has regarded
postofrices legitimate sane 2nr
jpoliSSel job hunters. Mckinley
post t&asters were thrown out to
make room for Roosevelt postmast-
ers, and so on The Republican fac
tions fought among themelves for
the spoils. s.' .,-
But how different the actions of
Democrats Never before in our
history have the qualifications of
candidates for postoffices jobs been
examined with such cara.
And now comes the order that
candidates must actually have some
<,qualifications, other than political
ones, before they can secure appoint
vnent.
For Is years under Republican
rule the small town postoffice hal
been a political reward pure anc
simple. And as result. fully two
thirds of the postoffices of the
United States are filed with mer
who continue some other line o.
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 TO
;the rest of the day t. pursue thei
private money making. The $4,000
;S2,5OO, $4,000 or $500 which the
draw in salary is pure velvet.
The low-paid clerks do the work
Mr. Burleson has informed tn
Democratic applicants that thi
practice must cease. Only efficien
y men. and men who will give con
plete attention to their postoffic
duties, will be appointed. Someho
this dosen't sound like the spoils sy'
