Asking Too Much,

No uninspired mortal can hope to understand tine workings of the post offices and the post office department, hence situation which has just arisen is not much harder to fathom than the average run of postal matters. All large post offices are equipped with tele- phones but no telephone is listed in the phone directory, because, the postmas- ters reason, the telephone would be of such convenience to the general pub lie that it would be an inconvenience to the post office force, hence the post master keeps the number as secret as the Thrice Fragrant Master of the Knights of Ogosh does the ritual of his order. Now, however, the post office department has issued an order to post masters requiring them to give all nec- essary information by the telephone as to the working of the parcel post John Jones is now entitled to ask the post master, by telephone of course. what it will cost to send 9 pound package by telephone to Kalamazoo but no order has as yet been made requiring the post office to make its telephone number public. A newspaper is still about the only institution that is required to answer all sorts of questions about all sorts of things. s.-Hartford Courant.

Dynamite Outrage.

What is believed to have been all attempt to kill with bomb Walter H. : Wright, former republican state senator from the Thirty fourth district and president of the Connecticut Valley Manufacturing company, took place Saturday morning about 3 o'clock at his residence in the Main street of Centerbrook, near Essex. Neighbors heard the sound of an explosion but on looking out in the misty darkness could see no signs of trouble and not until daylight came was the damage dis covered. Then it was found that the front of ths Wright residence was shattered and much damage done to the interior.
 That MT. Wright and his wife,. who slept in a room over the front hall were not killed, was due probably to the fact that the bomb fell inside the front door instead of going through the plate glass of the door, as was evil dently intended.
 MT. and Mrs. Wright were awakened and thrown from their beds by the ex- plosion but were not injured. Their room is in the front of the house and almost directly over the place where the dynamite was exploded.
 Thomas K. Egan, superintendent of state police, said Monday that he had a clue to the identity, of the man who placed the bomb. Suspicion points ! strongly, he said, to a man who has been occasionally confined in the Con- necticut Hospital for the insane, and though the state has not yet suffi- ciently strong case to arrest the man, he is being carefully watched so that it will be impossible for him to escape. The man'sinsanity was the result of an incorporate use of alcohol.

 The first of the "Little Campaigns, !" planned for this fall and early winter was very successfully carried through last week. In all fourteen meetings were held in halls and churches, be- sides a number of outdoor meetings. The leaders of the campaign were Miss Emily Peirson, Miss Alyse Gregory and Miss Isabel Sanders, the three or ganizers of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association. Besides these three there was large band of volun- teer workers, mostly members of the Hartford Equal Franchise League who went out day after day with the organ izers to help in advertising the meet ings and in attending at the meetings for the work of ushering and distribut- ing literature The officers of the O. W. $. A. were active in addressing meetings, and much assistance was given by local clergymen who presided at meetings and in other ways helped the suffrage workers.

They Don't Like Rain.

The tortoise shows a greater dislike to and fear of rain than any other ami. nal. Twenty-four hours or more be fore rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes for shelter. On bright. clear morning, when not cloud can be seen, all the sllellbacks on tortoise farm may sometimes be seen headed for the nearest overhanging rocks. When that happens the people know that rain will come down during the day. and. as rule, 1t comes down in torrents.
 The sign never fails.

Con.

In the discussion of to vote or not to vote, one argument has been over looked-the financial one. Giving women the ballot will cost a goodly sum of money The Freeport (Illinois) Bulletin gives some enlightening figures. At the last election the women voters increased the election expenses of the city more than $1, 300. Now the population of Freeport is IT, 567. From these data one can form 8 fair idea of what the enfranchisement of women would cost Connecticut. It would amount to tens of thousands of dollars at each election. Then, too, it would not be temporary expense, for one year or two or ten-it would be a permanent burden to be borne by the state forever One cannot increase the electorate without increasing the ex- pense of elections,

es under the administration of DR.
Smith as mayor OF
Why DIR Smith Pendleton afford the
Is Opposed. best evidence as to
what transpired with
reference to law enforcement at that
time On January II. 1888, u days
after DR. Smith became mayor the
East Oregonian carried a news story
which said:
After a short season as a wide
open town Pendleton has settled
down to quietude and morality at
night time. Pendleton has
been about deserted by transient
gamblers and tinhorns for their
occupation is gone. policeman
said last night that only a few
are left of the many who have
been preying upon luckles lambs
in this locality. All the games
were notified to close down by
Marshal Heathman and promptly
obeyed the order. The gem
tlemen Of daytime leisure and
nighttime industry have depart
ed to the east, west. north and
south. in search Of greener pas
lures
That story was published in black
and white and it is still to be seen in
the files Of the East Oregonian. II
the city was then under a wide open
administration why did the gamblers
hit for the north. east south and west
in search OF greener pastures. It has
been the observation of this newspa-
per that when Pendleton is under a
wide open administration the gamblers
flock hither. they do not run away.
That the cleanup at that time was
not a prefunctory affair is indicated
by the fact this paper came editorially
10 the defense of the movement. On
January II the East oregonian said in
an editorial:
Marshal Heathman is simply
enforcing the laws and he de-
serves credit for doing so. II his
enforcement of the laws is OBJ
noxious to the people of Pendle-
ton, they can secure a remedy by
moving for their repeal. The
laws should be enforced until they
are repealed. Every official who
takes an oath Of office and does
not do his duty towards enforc-
ing the laws violates his oath
and is not fit to hold office.
Probably II a few laws were rig
idly enforced. there would not
be so many laws and the burden
Of the government would be con-
siderably less. At least law and
order would be held in more re-
spect and there would be less tax
on industry and enterprise"
