COLONEL BUCKNER HAS
DOUBTS ABOUT GETTING
SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

manufacturers can throw business and
commercial Establishments round South
America that will cause those people
to weaken in their loyalty and affection
for their European relatives and friends
while they are engaged in life-and
death struggle is absurd.
l have spent considerable time in
South America and / know how those
people prize intimate acquaintance.
how they value warm friendships,
how they reverence those social and
business traditions associated with
the years that go back to long ago.
and / know that when this cruel war
is over they will fly to the arms of
their old friends in a way that will
cause Uncle SAM" with his emer-
gency-bought ships, to gasp in amaze
ment
So would say that the way to per-
manently secure a foothold i'm the
trade and commerce of South Amer
lea would be to hold ourselves in alb
solute control through this trying or
deal abroad. curbing our enthusiasm
and ambition for foreign trade, nor
attempting to rife the knapsack of
our fallen commercial competitors.
/ Let us supply South America with
whatever she needs in this crisis, do
ing it in a dignified. whole-hearted,
generous way, sending her nothing
that is not sterling. Then when
Great Britain, Germany, France and
other European nations who have de-
veloped South America with their
brains and money are themselves
again. we can approach that field in
a commercially spOrtsmanlike way
and on the theory that the Panama
Canal has awakened our interest in
] business opportunities, trade advan-
tages and undeveloped resources
down there, on the virtue and merits
of our goods and the integrity of Oul
methods and intentions solicit a fail
share Of their patronage and an equa
/ opportunity in their undertakings.
And in the meantime. let us urge
the American Congress to give sucf
assistance to those having the cour
age and ambition to embark in thu
Over-the-seas shipping, as will pu
vessels on the high seas flying tn,
American flag, to assist in taking care
of whatever business may be devel

Police BOARD Gives

Acting under an opinion from City
Solicitor Hastings, the Police Commits
sioners yesterday afternoon approved a
voucher for S07, wages due Potrolman
Willard 5. Sharpless, for the time he
was suspended following the shooting OF
George Hunter, Jr. At a recent meet
ing OF the commissioners Mr.. Sharpless
was allowed Sl2 pay and the remainder
of his salary, S97, was ordered turned
into the police pension fund. As tho
charges against the officer were not
sustained. City Solicitor Hastings in
formed the commissioners they had au-
thority 10 do what they pleased rela'
tive TO paying the officer. The com
missioners felt that the salary should
be- paid.
Il was also the opinion of the com
missioners that Officer Sharpless should
be allowed 800 for counsel fees, but q
bill for this amount was withheld foi
the present. It is probable that Coun
ell will be asked to reimburse the Oil
Ger for this expenditure.
The question whether the commission
has power To appoint special officers
was AGAIN before the commissioners
when a request TO appoint EdworC
Fraim as a special officer at the Ode
Fellows Building, at the expense of th'
Odd Fellows, was received. The mat
ter was referred TO Chief Black Will

Solicitor Hastings was endeavorng t.

NO Pensions FOR
POSTOFFICE WORKERS
Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al Says Public Would Not
Support Civil Pensions

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ito the con-
vention OF postmasters of Maryland
Virginia, North and South Carolina and
Delaware, First Assistant Postmaster
General Daniel C. Roper yesterday said
that the American public would not
support civil pensions or superannuated
employees. and he advised postmasters to
most up in their Offices notices to em-
ploves that they would be retained
"only so long as they are capable OF
earning the salaries paid TO them"
First Assistant Postmaster General
Roper's statement was taken to reflect
those of Postmaster General Burleson
and caused lively discussion. Mr.. Roper
said that when K was known that there
would not be civil pensions 1t would
lead 10 thrift and induce all to provide
against old age aud approximation.
"There is no valid reason why posi-
lions in the civil service should be re-
tanned bv those unable TO ill them,
said Mr.. Roper "The function OF the
Postoifice Department is administrative
not legislative. The law does not pro-
vide for pensions, and neither does 1t
provide for permaurRoe of tenure in The
civil service"

he thought it was catarrh of the
stomach, then he thought 1t was gas
tritis. then he supposed it was liver
trouble, but no matter what II was,
he got no better. Now, there must
lrsve been cause for his complaint
but what was this cause2 II took
that greatest of all remedies, Quaker
Extract, to discover the cause. Mr..
Graves took this wonderful remedy

CAL LOMEL MAY
HURT YOUR Liver.

Every time you take this power
full drug you are in danger. Take
Dodson's Liver Tone instead. Gallo
mel is made from mercury, and
while mercury has many valuable
uses, it is a dangerous thing to swal-
low. If calomel stays in the system
very long it salivates. Even when it
works naturally, its after-effects are
often bad.
DR. w Y Brockington will sell you
Dodson's Liver Tone, which is posi-
lively guaranteed to take the place
of calomel. Liver Tone stimulates
the liver just enough to start it
working, and does not make you
sicker than ever-as calomel often
does. You feel good after taking
Dodson's and it won't force you to
stop eating or working after taking
it. 1t is as beneficial for children as
for adults.
Try large bottle for fifty cents
under the guarantee that your mon
ey will be given back cheerfully if
you're not satisfied.
