My Dear Sir: | am in receipt of
your letter of the fourteenth instant,
enclosing me copy of a circular letter
being sent out by Congressman H. T.
Helgeson, of your district, in which
he says that the democratic caucus
held last May decided the Hobson pro-
hibition resolution should not be Der
mitted to come before the house dur
ing this session of congress. This
statement is absolutely untrue. The
Hobson resolution has not been con-
sidered in any democratic caucus
either in this or the last congress. No
caucus action has been taken in refer
ence to the matter. At a meeting of
the rules committee last June, the
only meeting that l know of in which
a resolution was considered to give
the right-of-way to the Hobson resolu-
ton, a motion was made to postpone
the consideration of the resolution.
Those voting to postpone were Mr..
Lenroot of Wisconsin; Mr.. Pou, of
North Carolina; Mr.. Garrett, of Ten
nessee; Mr.. Foster, Of Illinois; and
Mr.. Goldfogle of New York. Mr..
Lenroot is a republican member of
congress; the other members voting.
to postpone being democrats. MY
understanding is that all of those who
voted to postpone the resolution, ex-
cept Mr.. Goldfogle, have announced
themselves in favor of the Hobson
resolution. Those voting in favor of
reporting the resolution were Mr..
Henry, of Texas; Mr.. Hardwick, of
Georgia; Mr.. Cantrell, of Kentucky;
all democrats, and Mr.. Campbell, of
Kansas, republican; SO that you see
the republican members of the com
mlttee who were present were equally
divided and the democratic members
of the committee stood four to three
in favor of postponement. Three
have been no party lines drawn on
the subject. AS far as l am Informed
the efforts to postpone action in the
matter has come from the proponents
of the resolution.
Very truly yours,
O. w. UNDERWOOD.

Dear Sir: l acknowledge receipt
of your communication relative to the
Hobson resolution. In regard to
this matter, will say that it appears
to be the purpose Of the democratic
party to refuse to permit this ques-
ton to come before the House for con
s%ideration during this session of Con-
gress, and if such be the intention of
the party leaders, they will be able
to carry out their plans, for, as you
know, that party is in absolute con
troll of the house, as we'll as in the
other branches of the government,
and through the power of the secret
caucus, a few self-styled leaders are
able to dictate what measures shall
or shall not be considered by the
house. At their last caucus, held
sometime in May, it was decided that
the Hobson resolution should not be
permitted to come before the house
during this session Of congress, and
so far, the party as an organization,
has not receded from their position.
There was some little talk a while
ago to the effect that this matter
would be called up early in July, but
now that July is here, we are told
that it will be impossible to have it
considered before the first Of August
and it is my opinion that it will not
be considered until after the fall re-
turns, if at all. Should the reso-
luton, however, come before the
house for consideration, l can assure
you that it will have my active and
hearty support.

expected at any time. The wife of
Mr.. Bellefeur is a cousin Of the judge
and the family will be recalled as
having lived for sometime at Wales
before their removal to the Canadian

distance and the amount Of probate
business in the county court just now
made it impossible for Judge Dorval
to go to Willow Bunch as he would
have wished.

WANT CIVIL SERVICE EXTENDED
Appeal TO Club Women to Aid i'm

CHICAGO, Dec. 3-An appeal to
civic and commercial organizations,
vomen's clubs. and In fact all users
Of the mails to support campaign
TO be undertaken for legislation to
include higher grade postmasters In
the classified service was made to-
night by Richard Henry Dana of
Boston, president of the National
Civil Service League, In his address
at the thrity-fourth annual session Of
the league.
The extension of civil service rather
than the protection of the places Sc
cure within the service. he explained,
is to be the immediate work OF the
league.
"The whole civil service" he said.
includes grand total of nearly nine
hundred thousand appointees with an
aggregate annual salary OF 800, 0,0OO.-
900. of which the far greater part IL
still I'm politics. unprotected by civil
service laws and rules and Is used to
build up a great political machine"
Previous extensions. he said, had
been downward rather than upward,
with the result that all OF the better
positions. together with the power OF
awarding contracts and advantages,
are still available to the political
bosses"
I'VE see, for example," he con-
tinued, "a former saloonkeeper oc-
cupying technical engineering pos
ition, when his only knowledge of en-
gineering had been to engineer the
election Of the mayor who appointed
him."

The New York state commission

one hundred subjects have been kept
in this room for various periods dur

When the experimental room Of
