lust The Party's Innings

There's opposition to the postoffice bill which has
Just passed the house and is now in the senate
minority opposition, party opposition, republican
opposition.
President Taft placed the army Of assistant post
masters under civil service. The democrats want
those jobs and to get around the civil service OBJ
stace neglected to put pay for the assistant post
masters into that bill Gusts assistant postmasters
who are in of course. But the job is there under
new title, superintendent of finance and you'll
see democrats go in.
Politics, my son! On the side, it may be well to
inform you that, when Taft put that army aforesaid
under civil service, it army of republicans.
It is simply democracy's turn at bat.

Cant Cover It Up

The Texas senate is much disturbed because the
proceedings of its executive sessions reach the pub
c through the newspaper reporters, before the ink
is dry on the minute books.
One senator remarks that not only is the Texas
senate Suffering because of the enterprise of
newspapermen but, that the senate of the United
States has tried in vain to keep its proceedings
secret.
Executive sessions may be all right and sometimes
necessary but it's lead pipe cnch that if anything
is said done in that the public ought to know
about stopping up the key holes and pulling down
the shades won't keep the information from getting
abroad, muy pronto.
It would look like the best remedy would be to call
the boys ill., make them parties to the little confiden
tial chats and ask them to not publish such matter
as should not properly be disseminated.

Boulder business men have already
