THE SHAME OF THE UNIFORM.

After the Spanish-American war
victorious fleet, commanded by pop
ular naval hero, sailed into one of the
great ports of the eastern coast and
people. The men of the fleet were the
privileged guests of the city from one
end to the other and from Maine to
Florida. Within the year two warrant
officers, whose uniforms indicated
their rank and position in the navy,
were barred from public places, one
from a hotel and the other from
place of amusement. This within 300
miles Of the place OF their triumphant
reception.
In all of these cases public senti-
ment, by its apathy and silence, gave
tacit approval to this humiliation of
public servant.
Hardly a month passes when some
similar incident is not recorded and
heralded from one end of the country
to the other. On such occasions
Green's question hobs up insistently,
IF it's good enough to die in, why
isn't it good enough to dance inv"
In seeking an answer to his question
we are, first of all, brought face to
face with the unpleasant admission
that the uniform of Uncle Sans pro-
fessional fighting man is not generally
regarded with social favor. Those
who are interested in the subjects and
who follow up the results of this attis
tude toward the individual soldier are
able TO quote one incident. after an
other TO prove that such is the case
What is worse, they win point out very
convincingly the evil which results
from such a condition-namely, that
the soldier finds himself largely LINZ
tied in his choice of entertainments
and amusement to places of question:
able character, where any mans mon
ey makes a welcome for him. This, in
turn, naturally places the soldier in
the light of choosing entertainment of
this character and lends false color to
the conclusion that he is, perhaps, fit
only for such associations. The i'm
mediate result of such a condition con-
Germs only the soldiers happiness; the
ultimate result is of vital concern to
the army as an institution. Once the
soldiers pride in his uniform has been
lowered or destroyed, it is only nat
ural that his regard for the army, of
which the uniform is merely an en-
blem, will suffer accordingly, and any
man who is not proud of his occupa-
tion is of little value to his employer

MANY INQUIRIES
TO congressman
FOR INFORMATION RELATIVE TO
FILLING FOURTH CLASS
PosTMAsTERsHIPs.

Many inquiries are being made to
Congressman and newspapers for in
formation relative to the filing Of
fourth class post offices. The follow
ing information answers the questions
most often ased:
President Taft issued an executive
order on October Is, 1912, placing all
fourth class postmasters under Civil
service without examination. The
order was amended by President Will
son which provides that all fourth
class postoffices, where the compensa-
ton is $3.50 per year or over there
shall be held an open competitive ex-
animation by the civil service commits.
sion and the postmaster shall appoint
one of three receiving the highest
rating. Under the Taft order examina-
tion would have been held only where
vacancies were to be filed
Where the compensation is less than
$3.50 per year the appointments will
be made by the postmaster general up
on a report made by postoffice in
spector.
The civil service examinations will
be held by local examining board
appointed by the commission as soon
as the department can take care of the
work and as the needs of the service
require 1t. They will be held at the
most convenient points. The examina-
lions will cover elementary arithmetic
penmanship, letter writing, copying,
tests, together with statement as to
facilities for transacting the business

WHEN
LETTERS ARRIVE
Miss Louise Farris of Princeton En-
gagged To Fifty Men at
Same Time.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 1S.-Martin
w. Farris of Princeton. Ind. who
with his wife and daughters. Louise
and Ora, were indicted here upon a
charge Of misusing the mails in ope-
rating a matrimonial bureau We'd
nesday, told Judge A. B. Anderson in
the federal court that his daughter
Louise alone was responsible for what
Charles w. Willer, district attorney,
characterized as one of the biggest
matrimonial swindles operated in this
country. Farris and his wife ap-
peared in court Wednesday and with
drew their plea of not guilty and en-
tered a plea of guilty. which they
withdrew after Mr.. Miller had out
lined the governments case.
Miss Louise pleaded guilty TO the
charges when arraigned Tuesday. but
she has not been sentenced. Miss
Ora has not been arraigned.
Mr.. Miller in outlining the govern
ment's case declared that the plan of
the swindle was for Louise to write
letters TO men who wished to marry
her, Mrs. Farris mailed the letters, he
said, Ora warned away prospective
bridegrooms and if they became in
sistent the father threatened them.
Five of the men who had proposed
TO Louise, arrived at Princeton at the
same time, Mr. Miller said. and at one
time she was engaged to 80 men.
One Of the victims who sent Louise
500 was a prominent pugilist, the
district attorney asserted.
According to Mr.. Miller there al
ways was a scramble at the Farris
home when packages of letters ar
rived and the first member of the
family to open a package or letter
kept its contents. He said that Miss
Ora withdrew from the scheme after
writing one letter and tried to per-
suade the other members of the fam
lily TO do so.
