The last batch Of fourth class
ipostmasters to be commissioned for
West Virginia numbered about 175.
The presumption is that they took
the examination last June. Also, as
they are practically all Democrats.
the presumption is that the several
hundred Republicans who took the
same examination are not in the
same mental class with their Dem
,ocratic competitors. However, no
one who is in touch with the way
things are run at the post Office de-
partment assumes anything Of the
kind. While pretending to abide by
the civil service regulation, that de-
partment never does only when 1t is
to the interest of. 1t to do SO. The
department is run on the old spoils
system plan. or as near to it as 1t
can get without arousing too much
scandal Many of these small post
masters commissioned failed to make

He prefers TO take his chances with

the party win nationally, he would
be certain to retain his present high

He Likes Arkansaw

Belleville, Ark, Nov. s, 1915.
Thinking it might interest my
Idaho friends and neighbors to
know what became of me on such
short notice, will inform them
that | am located in the famous
state Arkansas. Have bought a
house and one acre of ground in
the village of Belleville, located
on the main line of the R. l. rail-
road 225 miles west of Memphis,
a beautiful level valley about 20
miles wide and lying between
mountain ranges; similar to Cam
as prairie.
This is a poor mans country,
A home can be procured here
with very little money and the
land will produce anything plant
ed. The principal crop is cotton
which is now being picked.
There are two cotton gins in op-
Grafton in this town. Cotton is
bringing a good price, lint 12c
per ID. and seed at $38 per ton.
Everything is green and the
weather is like June.
Now I do not want anyone to
think | have gone back on Idaho.
Far from it. AS a farming coun-
try do not think Idaho has an
equal and it will be a pleasure to
recommend it, especially Idaho
county and Cottonwood in par
ticular to people who have the
''spondulix." know there are
a number of people there with
small capital who could do better
in Arkansas.

more particulars concerning Ar
kansas, write me and all ques-
tons will be answered.

Gold Telegraph Key
Used by the President
to Start the EXPOSITION

At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, In
the presence of distinguished gather
ing, President Wilson pressed a gold
telegraph key that flashed to San
Francisco the electric spark that set
In motion all the machinery of the
great Panama-Pacific exposition.
The incident was simple in itself, but
appealed strongly to the Imagination
of those present. The same pressure
upon the key also notified the Tucker
ton wireless station, and that station
started to the wireless apparatus In
the Mare Island navy yard the mys-
terious force that carried duplicate
message.
President Wilson sent no message to
the exposition authorities, Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department hav-
ing been at the exposition grounds as
the personal representative of the
President and the administration. Just
before pressing the key the President
received telegraphic message from
exposition officials thanking him for
his efforts for the exposition. When the
President removed his hand from the
key the assembled guests applauded
him, extending congratulations.
Took Place in East Room.
The wire connection for the event
were placed in the east room, the key
being on small table arranged for the
occasion. The wires connected Wash
ington, San Francisco and Tuckerton.
The instrument used is the most fam
Gus telegraph key in the United States.
1t is of solid gold, set upon small
slab of beautiful marble. All around
the marble are gold nuggets of great
value. The instrument is studded at
different places with nuggets. the
largest being upon the key itself.
The instrument was presented to
President Taft at the time of the OPEN
June, 1909, and was gift from George
w. Carman, the discoverer of gold in
Alaska. A gold plate upon the marble
tells the history of the instrument.
Edward w. Smithers. chief telegraph
operator at the White House, and
Snithers takes it out only on great
occasions like that of yesterday:
There is one other gold telegraph
key in the country. 1t was the prop
ant postmaster general for mauy
years, newspaper man prior to taking
public Office, and prior to that an ex-
pert telegraph operator. This key was
presented to President Roosevelt when
the St. Louis exposition was opened
some years ago. He thought of De
Graw. his personal friend. and asked
De Graw to accept it. This key is in
the family of Mr.. De Graw now.
Mr.. Smithers has handled many
events similar to that of yesterday for
Presidents. He had been at the White
House many years, and the pressing of
a key to open some public enterprise is
not an unusual event in his eyes. An
ordinary telegraph key, however, is
generally used.
Those with the President in the east
room were members of the cabinet,
the senators and representatives. from
1ty,
man of the federal reserve board, and
other officials.
