DEMOCRATS HAVE NO
RESPECT FOR LAW
Senator Chiffon Soliciting
Postmasters in This State
to Endanger JOBS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October o.
Secretary McAdoo Is using the Treas
ury Department to frank personal
documents which have no relation to
the public business Of the Treasury;
Senator William E. Chiffon. Of West
Virginia.. Chairman OF the Senate
Committee on Census. is permitting
Henry Fry. Clerk of the Committee,
under Chilton's frank. to appeal to
the postmasters of West Virginia to
get votes for Chiffon In the Novem-
Der election; and officials of the Post
office Department are travelling
around the country addressing meet
fings of postmasters and rural route
carriers urging them to work for the
Democratic candidates.
McAdoo has a large force of en-
ployees working in the Treasury
building sending out. under the frank
of Senator Fletcher, OF Florida, large
numbers of speeches by McAdoo enti-
tied Some International Aspects of
Public Education" delivered by Nc
Adoo at the annual convention of the
National Education Association in
New York City, July 9Th, last. This
speech concerns the international
Conference held in Buenos Aires and
refers to the "Pan-Americanism"
upon which the Wilson administra.
tion is continually harping. although
President Wilson's Mexican and Hal
tian policies have aroused bitter hos
tility Of the Pan-American nations.
1t Is violation Of law for a Cabi-
net officer to use the employees and
facilities Of his department to send
throughout the country, under the
fran Of q United States Senator, one
Of his own speeches, which is not a
public document.
Henry Fry, Clerk of the Senate
Committee on the Census, has sent to
postmasters throughout West Vir-
ginia, under Senator Chilton's frank,
from Charleston. West Virginia, date
Of September ED, the following let
ter:
my Dear Sir: If every one whom
Senator Chiffon has helped will re-
member him on election day and get
him one or two votes from the oppo-
sition, there will be no doubt of his
reelection. You are a man Of influ-
ence in your community. You can do
this easily. Can l set you down as
one who will at his voting precinct
help to reflect Senator Chiffon for
what he has done for West Virginia?
II you will join this army which will
make his election certain, please
write me at once. We want to know
that the whole thing is moving along
all over the State in the same way"
These letters are a glaring viola
ton Of law as they solicit postmasters
to engage In "pernicious political ac-
tivity" and have been sent through
the mails without payment of post
age.
On September 18th, Representative
William E. Cullop, Of Indiana, and
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
James I. Blakslee. addressed a meet
ing Of postmasters and rural route
carriers ut Sullivan, Indiana, which
had been called by Representative
Cullop. The ostensible purpose OF
the meeting was to straighten out ru-
raj route matters. but Blakslee made
Democratic speech in which he told
the postmasters and carriers that he
expected them. and 1t was their duty,
to work for the reelection OF Cullop.

Concerted Action Through
Congressional Delegations
by Northwestern States.
in NATIONAL FOREST
"A. F. Parker Asked to Furn-
ish Data and Maps Show
ing Proposed Routes.

As has been known for sometime.
there is a move on foot among the
northwestern states, in fact in all of
me states with forest reserves with
IN their boundaries to take concerted
action through their congressional
delegations, their state officials and
their commercial bodies, to secure
government aid for the construction
OF highways within the forest re-
serves and in the territory tributary
thereto.
A meeting was recently held at
boise In which there were present
TWO members of the state highway
commission, three representatives of
the forestry service from Ogden, the
state highway engineer and numerous
business men of Boise At this
meeting a committee was appointed
to draw up resolutions setting forth
the conditions existing in the counties
where government forest conservation
obtains, and stating just what the
state of Idaho desires in the way of
roads across the forest reserves. and
the benefits that would accrue to both
the state and government from such
roads when constructed.

mas been one of the most active mem
Ders of the north and south railroad
commission, and has accumulated
some very important data for his re-
port to Gov. Alexander on the char
acter OF the country, cost of construc-
mon, ETC., has been called upon by
one OF the committee OF the new move
ment, to supply further data, to in
fn Oh
cation of the proposed roads on gov
ernment land or those that are tribu-
fary to forest reserves; the length
ana probable cost per mile of roads
not less than fourteen feet wide with
turnout bridges, ETC., the amount of
money spent exclusively on the for
est reserves by the county for the
past ten years, or since 1905: the
necessity of the roads asked for: the
class of territory served, whether tim
Der, agriculture, mining or grazing.
and the probable effect those roads
would have on the development of
this territory.
In the estimate of those attending
the meeting, 1t would seem that the
north and south highway takes first
rank in Importance the road from
Occur dAlene second; the road into
the Yellowstone park third the road
from HALEY to Stanley, Salmon City
and on to Montana fourth with a
number of other important roads both
