Election of POstmasters.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 21.-
Business men, who are the principal
patrons of the postal service, win be in
terested in a plan advocated by Hon.
the election of postmasters, but of other
federal officers in the several states,
such as u. S. marshals, district attor
neys, collectors and appraisers of cus-
toms, collectors of internal revenue, and
registers and receivers of land offices
Every business man knows the evils
OF the present system of appointment.
Men are chosen as postmasters, not be-
cause oft heir particular fitness for the
position or their facilities for rendering
service, but because of party loyalty and
activity in politics.
Merchants have seen postoffices re-
moved from one end of town to the
other in spite of popular protest, in or
der to locate the office in a building
| owned by an active supporter of the
party in power. They have seen indi-
viduals not desired by a majority of
the people of the community appoint
ed to conduct the office.
Former Senator Bourne believes that
postmasters should be selected regard

I the principal power of the national po-
litical machine which, through that in
strumentality, is able in so many in
stances to dictate local party politics.
Bourne proposes to strike at the
root of the matter by a constitutional
amendment divesting the president Of
his appointing power and relieving the
senate of its duty and responsibility of
confirming such appointments, and
leave the whole problem to the several
communities, which are chiefly and di-
rectly interested in the character of
seIv vice to be rendered by their public

If this suggestion appeals to you as
wise, write to your senator cong

constitutional amendment which will
give you a voice in the selection of
your postmaster.

GERMAN U-BOAT
SINKS TRANSPORT
First British Troop Ship Lost
Since War Began.
1000 SOLDIERS ON BOARD
over 100000 Soldiers Taken To
France Without Any Losses
Transports Escorted BY
Warships.

London The British Admiralty's
record of transporting great numbers
of troops to the various fighting zones
without the loss of life, so far as re-
ported officially has been broken aft
er more than a year of war. The
torpedo of submarine has at last
found the mark and the transport
Royal Edward has gone to the bot
tom in the Aegean Sea with a loss
of life which may reach 1000. The
Admiralty announcement shows that
the Royal Edward was engaged in
transporting troops to the Dardanelles
front, where Australians and New Zea-
landers have been largely employed.
The transport had on board 80 mill
tary officers and 1850 troops in addi-
tion TO the ships crew of 22O officers
and men. The troops consisted main
ly of reinforcements for the Twenty
ninth Division and details of the Royal
Army Medical Corps.
On two previous occasions trans
ports have been attacked. The Way
farer was torpedoed by a submarine
in the Irish Sea, but the vessel was
not sunk and only five lives were
lost. The Manitou was attacked by
Turkish torpedo boat in the Aegean
Sea and, although the ship was not
damaged, 81 lives were lost through
the breaking of davit as boat
was being lowered.
The loss of the Royal Edward is
serious one at this moment. The
men it carried were not part of q
new expedition but were reinforce
ments for the Twenty-ninth Division,
which has been on the Gallipoli
peninsula since the first landing and
which received such high praise from
Gen. Ian Hamilton in his report on
the initial and subsequent operations.
The news came as a shock to the
British public, who believed the sub.
marine menace in the Aegean had
been dealt with successfully. This
is the first occasion since the sink
ing of the battleship Majestic on
May 27 that the German submarines
which made the long trip to the
Dardanelles have scored success.
