the railways are asking for
something to which they are not en-

of many Of the great systems, we
will fud that they have for years,

us, in our humble though honest
opinion, it is time for the people OF
the United States to call a halt
upon the great railway systems.
They are continually lingering in
the governmental affairs Of the poo

they arrOgatp unto themselves the
right to earn div blends upon stock
highly Watered, sometimes several
times more than the intrinsic worth
Of their stock, and also pay salaries
to their officials, some of which CN-
coed the salary even of the president
of the United States. As We see it,
they have no right 10 pay out such
sums in salaries, nor have they the
right to demand the priv leGe OF
earning a dividend upon their water
ed stock. If these things are not
controlled in some way, if Is only a
matter OF time until the United
States Will be forced to assume own

Who Will Be the
New Postmaster
County Chairman, Heber 4. Jex, Says
mat New appointment VIII BE
Made December 10Th.

County Chairman, Heber G. Jex,
and County Committeeman, MILFORD,
Giles. met with the local Democratic
precinct campaign committee here
last Wednesday evening. The meet
ing was for the purpose of discussing
and recommending the appointment
of candidate for postmaster OF
Pleasant Grove. There were ten mem
bers of the committee present. The
names of Harry Wadley, John Att
wood and Joseph W. Thorne were
presented and Mr.. Wadley received
the votes Of seven of the ten MEM
bers, after which, the recommends
ton of Mr.. Wadley was made unani-
nous. At prior meeting held sew
eral months ago, Mr.. Wadley received
i've out of nine votes cast by men,
bers OF the committee, at which time
also second vote resulted In his
unanimous recommendation, SO that
IL appears that so far as the Local
committee is concerned, Mr.. Wadley
has It's solid support.
When Mr.. Jex left he said that the
appointment would be made on De-
cemDer 18th. President Wilson will
make the appointment, which will
have to be confirmed by the United
States Senate, but IL Is understood
that he looks to national committee
men. w. X. Wallace and State Chair
man s. II. Thurman, to make the
recommendations to him.
However, there Is another phase of
the question which may enter into
the case and cause some trouble. The
universal rule Is that where there Is
congressman of the same political
faith as the President, the congress
man Is given the honor OF naming all
the postmasters In his district. In
this case James II. Mayes was elect
ed to congress from this district on
the Democratic ticket VIII he be
accorded the usual honor or will the
President look to his national COM
mittceman? Congressman Mayes is
Progressive. The Progressives and
elected Mr.. Mayes. How far does
this fusion go? Did IL end when the
election was over, or does the fusion
still bind?
The local Progressives are solid in
their support for the present incum-
bant of the Office, having made the
best postmaster Pleasant Grove ever
had. Undoubtedly Congressman
Mayes will recommend her for the
position, and besides this she has the
support and endorsement of an over
whclming majority of the local pa
irons and business men. Nationally,
she is of the same politics as the Con-
gresham. The question is. who will
get the Presidents ear, Congressman
Mayes or National Committeeman
Wallace? In addition to this there
Is the question, who will Mr.. Wallace
recommend?
