charge of all operations on shore, and
General Funston, together with their

which were to be returned later to
the war vessels.

General Villa will not enter into an

Of the revolution. General Carranza,

POSTMASTERS
DIR. COGNAN AND MESSRS. WEER,
BURKE AND LOWELL CONFIRMED
FOR CARROLL COUNTY
OFFICES.

The Senate late Tuesday afternoon
confirmed four appointments Of Car
roll county postmasters. Those con-
firmed were:
Millard III. Weer, postmaster at
Sykesville
William E. Burke, postmaster at
Taneytown.
Thomas ]. Coonan, postmaster at
Westminster.
William D. Lowell. postmaster at
New Windsor
The nominations of Weer and Burke
were held up as soon as they were
sent in by Senator Lee. AT the time
he stated that charges had been made
against the nominees and that he
wanted to investigate the complaints
before the Senate Postoffice Com
mittee acted.
Senator Bankhead, chairman Of the
committee, held the names from the
executive calendar until this investi-
CATION could be made. Both of the
nominees were friends of Representa-
tive J. Fred c Talbot.
In the meanwhile, however, the
nomination of Dr. Coonan to be post
master at Westminster was sent to
the Senate. DIR. Coonan is friend of
Senator Lee, as well as of Representa-
tive Talbot The Senator wanted him
confirmed, but Representative Talbot
used his influence with the Senate
Postoffice Committee to have all of
the Second district nominations held
up together. In this manner the one
Lee man was placed on the same foot
ing with the three anti-Lee men. To
have delayed the confirmation of one
appointment would have meant the
delay of all four.
1t was stated a week ago that all
Of these nominations would be con-
firmed We were informed at the
time that Senator Lee was prepared
to stand aside and permit the names
to be reported Shortly afterward
Senator Lee wrote the following let
ter to Senator Bankhead, chairman of
the committee:
Several postoffice appointments for
Maryland were held up pending con-
sideration Of charges which were
placed in my hands by parties inter
ested
III have examined into these cases
and find that the complaints are prac-
tically similar to the complaints pre-
viously considered by the Postoffice
Department before making the ap-
pointments, and / have, therefore, con-
cluded to take no further steps in the
matter.
Unless charges are filed that the
committee desires to hear all OF the
nominations for Maryland postoffices
sent in to date by the President
should be acted upon promptly"
BY this letter Senator Lee with
drew his objection to the pending
nominations. He did not consult
with Senator Smith with regard to
any Of them, but did from time to
time consult with Representative
Talbot.
Weer and Burke are regarded as
organization men and are unfriendly,
politically to Senator Lee. DR..
Coonan is an anti-organization man
and has long been a political sup
porter of the Junior Senator.

The majority of people do not have money TO
invest even in small quantities. Unfortunately
all too many Of them live from hand % mouth
and never have any savings to form the occasoo
OF mental debates as TO how 10 use Il to the best

But those who 90 have some money 10 invest

appalling They put it into al sorts OF wldca;
schemes with the result, no doubt, i all the facts
we're known, that fully half of the money invested
by inexperienced investors is Just So much thrown
away. Land in localities that the buver ha.
never seen, mining stocks and so-called securities
of all sorts are sold in great quantities to the
unwary.
One reason for this is that 50 lew have the
backbone TO resist a really clever solicitor. There
is hardly an emotion to which the Shrewd selkr

RALEIGH WOMAN HoNoRED.

Miss Elizabeth Avery Cotton, OF the depart
ment of English in Meredith College, brings, for
the first time, the honor OF the presidency OF the
Southern Association Of Colleges for Women to
North Carolina.
The distinction was won upon a long list Of
accomplishment in educat ional work which Miss
Cotton has done, and for which she has her re-
ward IN the sure tribute of distinguished co
workers in this and other States. Her work the
last two years as secretary of the association
and chairman Of the committee OH standards OF
colleges, showed that she was presidential timber
and the recent meeting did itself credit in recoe-
nizing her as soon as it did.
Miss Cotton has done a great deal to bring
Meredith into the desired prominence that II
now has and her elevation to the presidency Of
this large organization will help to place tins
young college more prominently before the pub
lie. The fathers and mothers who send Their
children to this Raleigh institution, and the thou
sands who are friends to it, wil-share the JOY
which is especially Rsleigh's.

The New York Herald makes a strong appeal
to Republican Senators not to play politics by
endeavorlng to put the Democrats in a hole by
voting against repeal of the canal tolls exenp-
ton. 1t is known that there are some Repubh-
can Senators who will not do what the Herald
cautions against and the prospects now seem to
be that there viii be a plenty. Republican poll
uclans like Bristow will be against repeal, but II
is worthy of note that men Of distinguished
ability Ike Lodge and Root are for repeal
