BOURNE ADVOCATES CHANCE IN
ELECTION Of POSTMASTERS

ais, district attorneys, collectors and
appraisers OF customs, collectors of
internal revenue, and registers and
receivers of land offices.
Every business man knows the
evils of the present system of politi-
cal appointment. Men are chosen as
postmasters not because of their par.
ticular fitness for the position of their
facilities for rendering service, but
because of party loyalty and activity
in politics.
Merchants have seen post Offices re.

ing owned by an active supporter of
the party In power. They have seen
individuals not desired by a majority
OF the people of the community APP
pointed to conduct the office.
Former Senator Bourne believes
that postmasters should be selected
regardless of what party may happen
to be in control of the national aid
ministration-that the people Of the
country may have Democratic or
Republican administration, as they
may choose, but that the people of
each community should have a post
master of their own selection re-

teal rewards, and the people of each
community are the best judges of
the kind of service they want and the
men most likely to render it. Bourne
argues that IL postmaster must de-
pend upon the voice of the people of
his community for his retention in
office rather than upon his effective
ness in politics or his pull with
political leaders, he will give more
time and effort to improve the char

popular election Of postmasters and
other Federal officers, will take away
the principal power of the national
political machine which, through that
instrumentality, is able in so many in
stances to dictate local party politics.
Bourne proposes to strike at the
root of the matter by constitution
al amendment divesting the Presi
dent OF his appointing power and re-
lieving the Senate of its duty and
responsibility of confirming such APP
pointments, and leave the whole
problem to the several communities,
which are chiefly and directly inter
ested in the character OF service to
be rendered by their public servants.
If this suggestion appeals to you
as wise, write to your Senator or
Congressman and tell him that you
favor constitutional amendment
which will give you voice in the Sc.
lection Of your postmaster.

Meeting Of National Body.

The sixteenth annual meeting Of the
National Medical association will be
held In Chicago from Aug. "a to 20 in
elusive. The local committee Of ar
rangements, headed by DR.. U. G.
Daley, is making extensive prepara.
tons for entertaining the members Of
the association. The usual number of
papers, embracing every phase of med
icine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy,
will be given prominent place on the
program, as in former years, but the
outstanding feature Of this convention
will be the large number Of clinics
which will be held during the session.
Chicago has unusual facilities for
clinical demonstrations of all kinds,
and the local committee has been alive
to the opportunities that may be seized
for the benefit Of visiting doctors. The
larger portion OF the surgical clinics
will be held at Cook County hospital,
which has been recently completed.
Others will be held at the st. lLuke's
hospital and Provident hospital. Ar

eases and women's diseases.

mote sections Of the country will wit
ness here operations and demonstra-
tons that they have seldom II ever
been permitted to witness before, and
the local committee and the officers of
the association are particularly anxious
that the rural general practitioner shall
avail himself Of the opportunity to be
present at Chicago for these wonderful
demonstrations Of medical, surgical
and dental research and progress.
The headquarters of the local com
mittee will be in the Y. M. @. A. build
ing, and some of the sessions will be
held there. There will, as usual, be

sociation will perform many difficult
ana rare operations, and the associa-
tion as whole will be invited to clin.
les conducted by Murphy, schrader
and Ochsner.

surgical progress, and to be able to
witness operations performed by them
and to observe the .technic that they
have perfected win be Of Invaluable
assistance to every one who visits
these clinics. Special rates will pre-
vain on all the roads entering Chicago.
Many from all sections of the country
have already Indicated their intention
Of being present. Those who are unac-
Quainted with the city and expect to

MILK MACHINES SAVE TIME
Do Not Affect MIX Flow, According
to Tests Made at Geneva IN. "
Experiment Station.

The first United States patent COW
ering milking machine was issued in
1849. In 1860 two more were granted.
Since that time various devices
have been patented.
Tests made by the New York agri-
cultural experiment station at Geneva
prove that machine milking does not
affect the milk flow.
1t was also found that milking ma
chimes were great time savers. The
total time required to milk 80 COWS
was 12102 minutes, or an average Of
4034 minutes to milk one COW.
Under commercial conditions, the
time could be decidedly lessened.
The milking machine is no longer an
experiment. 1t is being used the world
over by progressive dairymen.
