Postmasters and Politics.

The convention Of postmasters which
was recently held in Washington, d.
c., was remarkable for several things.
In the first place. it showed how clean
a sweep the Democrats have made in
the postal service. At one of the
early meetings of the association, AS
sistant Postmaster General Roper
made a speech, in the course of which
he paid an enthusiastic tribute to the
character and ability of the men who
are now in the postal service; and
then. for some hidden reason, he called
upon all the hold over postmasters to
stand up. Out of the several hum
dred in attendance, eleven arose. Mr..
Roper's speech did not contain any
thing about civil service.
Another unusual incident was that
official stenosraphers from the Post
Office Department were sent over to
the conventions hotel to report the
sessions of the association. This d.
version Oh SdldIltu ClethS llbiu tlltlt
duties in the Department for the pur-
pose of reporting the meetings of a
private organization is something UNI
heard OF before in Washington; and it
was not till the closing session Of the
convention that third incident took
place which shed much light on all
that had gone before.
The convention had named COM
mittee to select the place for next
years meeting, and that committee re-
ported in favor of Washington. There
upon the postmaster of Cincinnati
arose and objected. 1T is we'll known"
he argued, why this association is in
session and why it will meet again
gathering information and laying plans
which will help reflect Woodrow VIII
son to the Presidency and thus keep
ourselves in office. Now. in that case.
we should meet in a city which is more
central than Washington. where more
postmasters Will attend and where we
can reach more voters than we can
here The Cincinnati postmaster al
most stampeded the convention with
his argument and probably would have
done so altogether but that it was
announced that the Post Office Depart
ment wanted the postmasters to come
here again next year--When the docile
stamp -lickers voted as Mr.. Bureson
desired.
1t is not contended that the language
here quoted is the exact wording OF the
Cincinnati postmasters speech. be-
cause our correspondent does not have
access to the stenographic files of the
Post Office Department. But if a
resolution of inquiry should be passed
by Congress when il meets. the fact
will be adduced that the 1915 conven-
ton of postmasters was a Democratic
partisan body and that the Post Of
flee Department took government pa id
employees away from their legitimate
work to do some of the work of the
convention.

These autumn days as from the, shore
we seward gaze
There steals in on us with us silent
tread, the haze.
And on the shore and ships its ghostiS
whiteness lays.
The rough and ponderous rocks no longer
dangerous seem, q
But light and airy as the visions OF
dream,
And dying day grows beautiful with sun
set CLEAN,
And when the autumn days of age are
drawing near.
And we look out upon Lies sea so dark
and drear,
Through haze of falling tears how dif1er-
ent things appear.
The grief so dark a blessing bright now
seems to be,
The failure made, by touch of love, VIC
tory,
The diving days the gateway to eternity.
