plan has been tried in many cities and
is found profitable to borrower and
lender.
However, the loan company which
would advance q man money merely
on his character or reputation, is new
to this section Of the country and in
fact has not been tried in any city as
small as Richmond.

arising from the army resignation cri-
sis and the Ulster situation slowly
clears away interest in the Sir Ed

Prominent members of the Liberal.
Unionist, Irish Nationalist and Labor
parties are discussing the project in
conferences. and when parliament con-
vened today for the resumption of de-
bate on the home rule bill, the inter
est was at fever heat.
What of King George?
If the project is seriously taken up,

be appointed and be sent to America

Earheart Comments on the
Friendly Relations Exist

Incoming POstmasters.
FINDS NO FAULT IN
RICHMOND OFFICE
Few Changes Made When
New Incumbent Assumes
Duties Under the Present
Postal Laws.

81 have noticed within the last few
years a change for the better in the
feeling between retiring and incoming
postmasters." said Inspector Earhear,
secretary OF the Sixth United States
civil service district, consisting of In
diana, Ohio and Kentucky, today when
making his annual inspection.
There is no longer the antaganism
which was displayed few years ago
and because a new man takes the jOt

Mr.. Earheart was pleased to Learn
that Postmaster Haas has made ar
engagements with Charles B. Beck
whose appointment will be recon
mended within two months by Finly
Gray to President Wilson, to go over
postoffice matters before he retires tC
the new postmaster.
Friendly Relations Exist.
The best Of feeling exists between
Postmaster Haas and Mr.. Beck, and
when Mr.. Beck takes office July /, il
his confirmation has been made by
that time, he will have the support
of the present postmaster in his new
duties. Mr. Haas has indicated severa
times.
Mr.. Earheart stated that the change
in the attitude Of incoming and out
going postmasters in the three states
of his territory has been plainly evi
dent within the past three or foul
years.
There are few changes made now
In the postoffices when new postmas

Il also have noticed that there are
more postmasters staying in over theil
time and less cutting in on the time
of the old postmaster by the new. Fol

his commission before the four years
of the outgoing postmaster terminates

Federal Form of Government
May FOLLOW Ulster Uprising

But even if the federal idea does take
root, it will be at least six years be-
fore 1t is put into operation.
The most interesting query arising
on the question of governmental or
ganization is, What would become OF
King George?"
Ur/,r the limited monarchy, with
it's flexible constitution, there is a
niche in the government for the king
Under federal system with writ
ten constitution it is difficult to see
where the king could be placed.
Sir Edward Carson is scheduled to
speak in parliament on Monday just
before a division is taken on the sec
ono reading of the home rule bill and
give the views of the Ulster Orange
men on the federal government idea
Although many British Unionists have
spoken in favor of it, the attitude OF
the Protestant Unionists in Ulster has
not been set forth clearly.

He sprang erect between her and the danger point,

With wicked whine and thud, Winchester bullet

poplar With sudden paor about his lips and hoarse

"For the love o God don't shoot over here more!
That a woman here!'
Then he sank heavily and helplessy to the ground,
out of sight of Thurst, who because of the powder
smoke before him. had not observed the effect of his
last shot.
Thurst recognized the cry coming in the voice of
Luke. He became very angry-it was such an easy
