POSTAL NOTES

A new rural route has been estab-
lished out of this city, known as r.
No. z, which will go into effect the
first day of next month. The route
starts on Route 2, on Reinhardt's

Mau corner, east to Schubring cor
ner, north to A. WOlfgram corner,
east to A. Bauman corner, north to

east half of the, town of Texas, the
west half of the town of Hewitt and
the northeast corner of the town of
| Wausau. At the beginning the carrier
will only serve on Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday of each week.
The post office department has now
found Ia better method of carrying on
business at less cost. The Division
of Supplies is now one of the efficient
ly organized forces of the department.
| Under the present administration this
particular branch is in the care of
the present Fourth Assistant Post
| master General, of whose bureau this
| division is an important part. The
| pOstmasters throughout the country
are supplied with the required blanks,
books, forms, etc, directly from this
| bureau, whose duty it is to look after
| the necessary needs of the post offices.
An enormous amount of supplies is
needed to conduct the business of this
department, after knowing that there
are $4,000 post offices in the United
States. Following are few items to
| illustrate: There will be required
this year for the service, $50, 900 miles
of twine, weighing 100000 pounds,
| enough to encircle the globe 81 times
and which would fill 60 big freight
cars; 5000 gallons of ink and muci-
| lage, more than billion facing slips :;
and all other forms of supplies in cor
responding magnitude. This division
alone has thirty tons of material in
the way of supplies in transit every
working day of the year, practically
all postal supplies being now sent by
freight, at an annual saving of ap-
proximately a quarter of a million
dollars.
Numerous changes in the method of
operation have been made, careful
scrutiny of acquisitions required, as
we'll as all requests for monetary al
lowances, with the result that very
| considerable economies have been af-
fected in time, labor, and expense.
| Under the old custom it has been
found that wasteful extravaganza has
| been checked. Measures of economy
have been adopted and the issuing OF
| supplies have been placed under care
full management, lowering the eXpens-
es including the waste in liberal sup
| plies, force of clerks, etc. consider
ably,

as some of the choice things I had

taking advantage of his wild flights

Teddbites without alternating the

READ THIS BEFORE YOU VOTE

Here is a remarkable letter from a
st. Paul woman-a woman evidently
of sane, cool judgment, keen and in
telligent interest in affairs-a letter
remarkable because of it's clear anal
ysis of the present situation:
Editor ST. Paul Daily News:
81 am not unalterably opposed to
war. I have a son and would give
him to our country to repel invasion,
to uphold the country's honOr-but
"Country's honor" and "Wall ST." are
not Synonymous terms to me. My
father has been republican since
Lincoln's administration. He volun-
teered at Lincoln's first call, spent
four years in active service, went with
Sherman to the sea and was honor
ably discharged in '65.
81 have been a republican since
was born and now l am ashamed OF
republicans. Where are our republi-
can statesmen, except few-we have
only politicians?
"In the midst of all the chaos, blood
shed and misery from which our presi-
dent, in his great, unselfish love, is try
ing to protect us, the republican press
in our city sits back, almost with sat
isfaction, at this new disaster (the
U-53's sinking of vessels off Nantuc-
ket) and says 1T will be interesting
to watch One would think they
were speaking of prizefght on which
they had placed no wager.
as this the spirit of republicanism
1t seems to me like the spirit of John
Wilkes Booth.
"Mr. Wilson has committed an un-
pardonable offense, it seems, by keep
ing this nation out of war. His critics
want war. If not with Mexico, then
Germany, or Great Britain. He and
congress were even inconsiderate
enough to keep us from internal dis

What manner of man is this who
so persistently keeps the peace, when
the G. o. P. is so desperate for an
issue and there are so many wars
lying around loose, smoldering, ready
to burst into flame at a moment;
notice?
mo matter how our young man

or how our homes be left desolat'

written by Col. H. O. Tairl


Col H. o. Tair, that astute politician
and well known statesman whose fame
has spread from coast to coast and
who in these trying hours of the re-
public, has stood steadfastly at the
helm and guided this nation into port
of safety, arrived in the city this morn
ing, having come here to cast his vote
like any ordinary citizen.
For several months past, the col
onel has to use a vulgar expression,
been laying low" and the impression
has been allowed to go unchallenged
that he was sulking in his tent; that
he had not fully recovered from what
was done to him at the time he en-
for one of his friends. This he vigor-
ously denies.
"The more abuse you heap upon any
man, the stronger he grows, is one of
the aXioms to which 1 have given ex-
preston in the past" said the colonel
to one of the many newspaper report
ers who fiocked around him as soon
as his arrival in the city had been
heralded abroad.
THAT is what made Roosevelt so
strong with the people. We denounced
him prior to the republican conven-
tiOn of four years ago, denounced him
so strongly that he carried the con-
vention away with him, and after that
we sat up nights to invent new epi-
thets, and the result was that he crew
so strong that we old wheel-horses of
the party were obliged to abandon
Taft and vote for Wilson, to keep
Teddy out of the presidential chair"
"Of course we are in a measure re-
sponsible for the election of Wilson,
and it was because of this that I de-
termined to lend my services to undo,
as far as lay in my power, the work
'Of four years ago, and especially did
my conscience urge me on when 1
learned of the liberal manner in
which the campaign contributions
were pouring in. l could smell the
rat, and believe me my scent was
right, for never has the picking been
as good as since that memorable time
when the Eleventh Story League was
in full bloom.
'"The good old days have returned, at
least nearly, and it did not require
as much exertion for me to get on the
pay roll, as it did last winter to Sc
cure the menial position I obtained at
the state capitol. My peculiar ability
as a coiner of epithets warranted to
remove the hide with neatness and
dispatch was instantly recognized and
my name appended to the pay roll, and

MONEY ON ELECTION

The Record Herald claims to have
a bushel of money to bet on election,
all to bet on its pet "knocker," eandi-
date Hughes. 1t is generally thought
that it is a bluff and if called there
would be back down. AS a matter
of fact, though. it is the wealthy class
of the country who want Hughes
elected, generally speaking. Wall
street would, 10 doubt, pay all OF the
republican campaign expenses for the
election of Hughes. -

STILL MORE ABOUT GASOLINE.
-Gasoline's long flight skyward be-
gins to show the expected tragic re-
suits. Among the innocent victims"
of the present gasoline raid are a
Baltimore motor transportation COM
pany, which went out of business last
week on account of the increased
cost of motor fuel, and one of the
largest of the New York taxicab
companies which failed the other day
for the same resason.
It is not only the owner of a small
car who can qualify as the innocent
victim of the soaring cost of gaso-
line. Department stores in some of
the large cities use over 10000 gal
Ions of gasoline a month, for which
they are now paying in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 a month. Thus all
shoppers are innocent victims" be-
cause the extra charge must of
course be paid by them as their share
of the cost of delivery of the goods
they buy.
That is why EVERYBODY is ire
mendously interested in Uncle Sans
present investigation of gasoline.
The federal trade commission is
now working on this inquiry with
the department of justice. Among
other points which will be considered
is ''the exact relation between the
several companies into which Stand
ard Oil was dissolved in 1911"
That is exactly what the innocent
victims" want most to know. Ac-

last trial of the style makers. Even
though the odd new shades are called
''Bakst," nobody likes them. Some
Of the queerest colOrs are exactly like
the walnut browns and sumac reds
which pioneer American women used
to dye their hand woven woolens-
the brown for the mems clothes, and
the red for the women's.
Forty to fifty per cent of the colors
produced in the United States are Of
inferior value. They crock and fade.
But the worst of it is that lack Of
dyes is throwing Weavers and knit
tiers out of employment. Some man
ufacturers, because they cannot get
reliable dyes, are limiting their out
put.
Even the best dry cleaning estab-
lishments are now able to dye moth
ing but blues and blacks, except Occa-
sionaIly, when they manage to get a
small portion of other colOrs.
The dye SITUATION mas promoted the
transportation of dyes from Germany
through China. 1t is possible to con-
centrate 200 pounds Of some colors
into 10 ponds of jelly, and dilute it
again on it's arrival in this country.

food products with particular refer
ence to the alleged s7.oO0,o0O egg cor

price of that eatable to As cents a
dozen and upward, continued to be the
subject of investigation at the hands

In Quandary on Interpretation
of S-HOur Law.
Ripley Declares Even Lawyers
Can't UntangIe 1t.

Chicago Nov. Be. P. Ripley. pres
ident of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railway, addressing members of the
City club here today. let it be known
that the legal talent of the railroads
are still in a quandary as to what the
roads should do with regard to the
Adamson law.
Nobody knows what the Adanason
law means or how it can be applied
to existing conditions" said Mr. Rip
ley. Nobody pretends to construe it
and the best legal opinion is to the
effect that it cannot be construed to
be legal and binding statute This
means that if the railroads tried 10
enforce it as it reads, there would be
a strike because it would seriously re-
duce the earnings of a large part of
the best and highest paid men. II.
on the other hand, the railroads fol-
low the law as the brotherhoods would
like to have them do, namely, taking
the hot end of the poker in every case
it would cost them a very large sum,
estimated at 500, 1000. 900 a year
mo one can tell what the outcome
will be. The law will be tested ana
probably will find itself in the SUI
preme court of the United States un-.
less modified by an act of congress
before its effective date"
