her second childhood she is laid to
rest in her narrow bed under the
coverlet Of June flowers.
1t is not strange that at such an
advanced age Mrs. Corker should
have been broken in health towards
Its close, though confined to her
bed but few days. During her
lifetime she has been a woman of
great decision and force of charac-
ter. OF brilliant mind she gained

lifelong, sincere, fervent and rever-

PRESIDENTS ACT
CAUSES PROTEST
Dismissal Of Union Veterans From
Post Office Causes Much Stir In
Congress.

Washingtol,-The dismissal Of tn
? union veterans of the Civil War from
the Washington City post office ha
brought storm of criticism on tn,
Wilson administration. Senators an,
Representatives in congress have tai
en- up the veterans fight and thor
ough investigation Is promised. Tn,
Honorable Julius Kahn, Representa-
tive from California, in a recen
speech, paid the following beautiful
tribute to- the living veterans Of ths
Civil War:
1T Is we'll to remember the dead
but let us not forget OUR duty tC
the living. And especially to those
living soldiers and sailors who, In
the days of their youth were willing
to sacrifice their lives, if need be-
upon the altar of united country
Their number is diminishing rapidly
Most Of them have lived far beyond
mans allotted period of three score
years and ten. Comparatively few OF
them have been able to draw sub.
stantial prizes in the lottery of life.
Many Of them were mere boys when
they enlisted. But they had hearts
of men within their breasts. They
We're ready to perform and often did
perform the yalorous deeds of beard
ed men. Their age was not deemed
an obstacle to the faithful and honest
performance of duty to their coun-
try. Their services were welcomed
gladly by great and grateful gov.
ernment. Some Of these, after they
had grown to mans estate, after they
had laid aside the implements of war.
afber they had been honorably dis
charged from the military service,
decided to serve their country still in
its civil service. Just as they had
performed their duty faithfully and
honestly on the tented field, so they
performed their duty faithfully and
honestly in the executive departments
of this government.
True, they have grown weary
and old in that service. Is that a
fault? Has old age grown to be a
crime? Some men clothed with a
little brief authority would make it
so. But their actions will be resented
as they should by the citizens of this
Government. The prowerbial ingrat-
itude of Republics must not apply to
these men. The compensation they
received while in the very heyday
of their lives, while in the fullest
vigor of their faculties, was not a
fortune. Many Of them had
families to rear. Many Of them have
not been able to save much from
their meager compensation for the
almost inevitable rainy day. Some
Of them have become superannuated. |
To my mind 1t is a disgrace to our
country that they have been thus
thrust out, at an advanced age, on
the very threshold of the grave, to
fight the battle of life in competition
with their fellow men. At best, their
years will be few. Even If they
were totally incapacitated, which they
were totally incapaciated, which they
are not, it would be a fitting recog-
nition of their past services to con-
-inue them In the public service un-
Ill they peacefully close their eyes
n death.

A GOOD LOSER HERE

Robert Morrison, one of the mai
contractors mentioned in some of the
stories of the unjust operations Of
the parcel post law, was in town Sat
urday on his way from Mackay to
Mountain Home.
Mr. Morrison spent about twenty
five years of the best part of his life
accommodating snug little fortune by
steady application to business in Gus
ter County, and when the parcel post
went into effect he was carrying mai
from Mountain Home to Dixie and
other places to the northward. He
had good express business, carried
some passengers, and the mail con-
tract helped to keep up expenses.
He was tied up in a four year con-
tract and With the coming of the par
GELS rost his express business van
ished alGl appeared as parcels post
which he had to carry at the old
rate under the contract. If a sack of
flour came along, he did not get
his express fee for it but got nothing.
If lot of flour or hardware or other
goods came along with stamps on, he
had to carry them through, even
though he had to hire extra teams
and drivers to do it. He lost mon
ey and appealed to the government
to make provision for his protection.
He did not take the contract to car
ry mail under some new law or new
condition which the government
might impose after he had signed the
contract, but Uncle Samuel and the
people are pleased with the show
ing made, Notwithstanding the car
riers may be- going broke-confiscat-
ing their private fortunes to the gen.
eral good. Congress was slow to
act, and congressman as rule like
to wait and let things adjust them
selves. They know very little about
the west, and especially about stag
ing, and care very little about few
hundred or a few thousand stage driD
ers going broke. Mr.. Morrison says
he is under bond to carry the mail
and he Is carrying it. The depart
ment made a ruling that when the
volume of the business doubled in
such case they would allow the con-
tractor a % per cent increase Oh
his contract. If 1t increased 200 per
cent they would allow a so per cent
increase on the contract price. In
other words, If it takes one team of
mules to haul the contract mail and
express, the parcels post would cut
down his income by just the amount
of the express fees he received even
though he carried the same goods. |
When business increased so that 1t |
took two mule teams to carry it, the |
second team received % cents on the
dollar and the contractors bond COM
pnls him to keep at it.
Mr.. Morrison was keeping sweet |
under the strain and was not talk |
ing anarchy, although the confisca-
tion is operating to take away even
the mules he is working at loss
