cy Running Service

Washington, Jan. l3.--A bill to pro
hibit the use of the stop-watch or any
time measuring device or system in the
postal service has been introduced by
Representative Van Dyke of Minnesota
member of the House labor committee
formerly an official of the National Fed.
GRAFTON of Postoffice Clerks. The bill
has been put in order to meet the al
legged inadequate increase in the clerical
force urged by the department this year.
Drastic criticism of the postmaster
generals policy toward the postal clerks
is voiced by Thomas +. Flaherty, legis-
lative representative of the clerks, in a
statement supporting the Van Dyke bill.
AT no time in the history of the
postal service have complaints been so
general and so emphatic against the
present departmental policy of driving
the men," Flaherty says. "Inspectors
trail aged letter carriers around their
routes TO see if additional work can be
added to the already harassed employee.
Time tests are taken of the fastest dis
tributor and he sets the standard for all
the clerks. Complaints have been made
that the hidden overhead galleries, the
secret hiding places of the inspectors. are
points OF vantage from which the move
ments of men are watched and timed.
In misguided effort to get efficiency
the department is breaking it down
We want Congress to prohibit absolutely
the use of a stop-watch and restore to

TALKING
OF GARY
His Name at Least Stirs Po-
litical Discussion Among
the Republicans
HIS RECORD
FOR HIGH WAGES
A Combination of Old-Line
and Progressive
Party Men

New York, Jan. l3.--Wall street and
territory adjacent heard yesterday re-
port that influential members OF both
the Republican and Progressive parties
had under consideration the name Of
Ebert H. Gary, now chairman of the
United States Steel corporation, as a
coalition candidate for president of the
United States. Then from Chicago con-
frmation came that Progressive leaders
were talking of Gary.
The recent Gary dinner which at the
time was supposed chiefly to concern
| Theodore Roosevelt, was recalled, and
Some surmise was heard as to whether
! Judge Gary's dinner might not chiefly
have concerned Mr.. Gary himself; also
previous Gary dinners, the outcome OF
which was almost invariably of impor-
tanec to industry iii the United States,
BY nightfall Judge Gary and his pos
sible candidacy We're being discussed from
many angles.
Many Republicans who are opposed to
Colonel Roosevelt, it has been suggest
ed, would favor Judge Gary as their
candidate, and other progressives, while
favoring the colonel, might be in re-
ceptive mood for a man who probably
would support Rooseyelt's fayorite meas
ures and at the same time uphold old
line Republican policies.
Judge Gary declined to comment on
the situation in any way. Inquiry of |
individuals Tuesday who attended the
recent Gary dinner at which Colonel I
Roosevelt was guest. brought reiter.
atoms of former statements that no
political significance was to be attached
to the event

we do propose to see to it that the
potatoes grown by our members are
good potatoes, and that when it comes
to placing them on the market, there
will be enough of one variety to sell
them to advantage and also they will
be graded properly, so that the Thurs
ton county potato will gain reputa-
tion-and markets. a good po-
tato in contrast to what it's reputa-
ton is now. We are not going to
slight our home trade or sacrifice it,
but ! am not afraid to assert that if
the Thurston county product is put
on the market as it should be, we
have consumers here who will call
for them in preference to Yakima
spuds and in preference to potatoes
not guaranteed in like manner, and
will pay the cash for them.
We as an organization have the ad-
vantage of selling in carload lots. If
a potato buyer comes into Thurston
county now to buy potatoes. he is
compelled to 60 from place to place
to get potatoes and he finds as many
different varieties as there are farm
ers, 80 he Is unable to get a car of
any one variety. This is a greater
expense to him than it would be for
him to telephone and say, II want 30
many potatoes. Can you fill the or
der?"
The Clubs Backing.
1t is fact that cannot be disputed,
that all failures which the farmers
have made in Thurston county or any
place have been based on wind, in
stead of gold or it's equivalent.
wish to state that the Olympia Potato
club will have for it's backing:
First-Men who are willing to do
as they would like to be done by, if
they were in the consumers place,
and
Second-Potatoes equal to Yakimas
or those of any other farming center
in the state of Washington.
What has built up the Puyallup
valley, what has built up Yakima,
Wenatchee and all the other good
farming districts? Organization and
proper grading and packing-the
remedies we propose to apply to
the Thurston county potato.
If you want to join with us, we
will be mighty glad to have you. We
think we can be of help to you. At
least we are going to try.
Very truly.

So many Americans now have per-
sonal knowledge of Canada that false
reports concerning this country are
being continually corrected by Amer

n who are too fair-minded to let a
false statement go unchallenged. A
case in point arises out Of a statement
supposed to be made by a resident of
Alberta, and published recently in the
Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, in
which the condition of settlers in this
country was painted in a very bad
way indeed. The writer of this at
tack on Canada refused to let his
name be known, so it can be taken
for what it is worth, but Mr.. s. L.
Wallace, of N 4723 Crestline, Spokane,
who lived for some years in Western
Canada, came to the defense of the
country in the following letter which
was published in the Spokesman-Re-
view of February II, 1876
ITO the Editor of the Spokesman-Re-
view:
I'm Sundays Spokesman-Revie was
a letter from a man in Alberta to the
chamber of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was run by the rail-
roads, banks and manufacturers; that
once a mar got there he v could
get away. Had this man published
that letter over his own signature
there is nc doubt but he could get out
of Canada.

Washington. - Ambassador Won
Bernstorff has been caught in a trap
from which he cannot escape if Wash
tngton's Interpretation of the last few
days developments be correct. Wash
ington has come to the conclusion
that the German embassy faces the
necessity of admitting improper ac-
tivities or having the fact proved
against it. Whether Count Won Bern
storff can show Washington is wrong
remains to be seen.
Papers taken from the offices of
Wolfe Won Igel, former secretary Of
Capt. Won Papen, and himself accred-
tied to the embassy, form the prin-
cipal basis of this belief. The on
fession Of Horst Won der Goltz, the
alleged spy recently returned by the
courts from London, and a copy of
which is in possession Of the authorf-
ties, forms another important ele-
ment. The documents seized in Won
Igel's office constitute a mass of tes-
timony, which If acknowledged as
official will result In the ambassadors
immediate dismissal, and if denied
might result in a prosecution for con
gpiracy.

The president spoke as follows:
