PenrOse Accuses the DEM
ocrats of Hypocrisy in
Their Appointments.
POSTAL DEPARTMENT
ALL UPSET, HE SAYS
Townsend Tells of Wilson's Ac.
ton in the Case of
Durand.
from The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Aug. 10.-Secretary Of
Commerce Redield was attacked vigor-
ously to-day by Senators Townsend and
Penrose in a discussion of Mr.. Red
fields letter to Justice Hughes on the
Durand case.
Democratic Senators attempted to
divert the course of the debate by in
curing il Republican Presidents had
not appointed Republicans to succeed
Democrats after Cleveland went out Of
Office
THAT is not the ISSUE" retorted SEN
ator Penrose. "The point is that the
Secretary of Commerce has been de-
tected in a deliberate misrepresenta-
ton to the American people. | do not
blame the members of the Democratic
party for being spoilsmen. have
never been a particularly strong advo-
cate of civil service myself. But what
I object to is the internal hypocrisy of
the thing. President Wilson before
coming into office made many preten-
tious declarations about the civil SER
vice.
The Democrats have trumped up
charges against Republican postmasters
whose terms had not expired, and have
appointed men of so little capacity that
the whole service has been demoralized.
Never was the service in Philadelphia
worse than it is to-day since the Re-
publican postmaster was forced out by
the Democrats.
81 have been in postoffices in Florida
rretorting to Senator Bryan, who had
defended the Presidents appointments
and seen postmasters who were not
competent, either mentally or physi-
cally to sweep the streets!"
"They must have been Republicans"
said Mr.. Bryan.
There was only one Republican in
one of these towns" said Mr.. Penrose,
"and he was not the postmaster.
"The Collector of Customs in Phila-
delphia," Mr.. Penrose continued, "was
appointed by this Administration proc
ably because of his chief qualification,
the ability to talk free silver and in
hated currency. He has not been in his

WHITMAN LIKELY TO GO
ON STUMP FOR HUGHES
Will Probably Take Swing
Through Middle West.

William r. Wilcox, chairman of the
Republican National Committee. had a
talk yesterday with Governor Whitman
at the St. Regis. 1t was understood
that the Republican chairman invited
the Governor to take the stump for
Hughes, particularly in the Middle
West. The Governor will probably
take a swing around through the Mid
die Western states. as well as stump
ing this state, where he expects 10 be
a candidate for denomination this fall.

Plan to Make Up for Delay.
With the exception of an added mem
bership Of four or five the Democratic
camtaign committee was the same as
had been forecast several days ago
Mr.. Mccormick said yesterday that any
delay that had been necessltated by the
final makeup of the campaign commit
tee would be overcome by the active
work now in sight for the campaign.
Chairman Mccormick said that he
intended to start for Maine to-day TO
look over the situation there and con-
fer with the Democratic leaders in that
state, who would meet him at Port
land. He expects TO return Sunday.
The Democratic chairman said that
the notification ceremonies for Presi-
dent Wilson probably would take place
at Shadow Lawn, Long Branch, on Sep
TENDER Q. irrespective Of the date OF
the adjournment of Congress. The
nearest he could get to definite date
of the adjournment of Congress was
some time in September" Mr.. McCor

public service commission, recently was
checking up the records of the Ander-
son municipal electric plant, at Ander-
son. A campaign was on in Anderson
to raise money for Y. NJ. G. A. build
ing.
Boggs was approached by commit
tees and asked to contribute. Finally
he signed paper promising to pay ST.,
and opposite he placed the name Of
Charley Stewart, chief clerk of the
commission, in whose office at the
statehouse Boggs has a desk. Boggs
came home and waited developments.
Soon Stewart was notified that his
contribution to the Anderson Y. Nj. q.
A. was due. He didn't say much,
but apparently did lot of thinbing.
The other day he caught Boggs in
the offices as another dun" came in.
Stewart opened and read the "dun,"
which was more or less insistent in its
tone.
Then he walked over to Boggs.
LEND me dollar, will you, Harry2"
he asked.
And Boggs dived into his pocket and
produced the dollar.
Now I'll just pay this bill for you"

To Good PURPOSE.

That Madame Sarah Bernhard
should have become a French subject
has puzzled great many people. The
seeming mystery is explained, however,
by the fact that when "the Divine
Sarah" married Greek in the early
eighties she took her husbands ma

The famous tragedienne tells an
amusing little story of two kind

to buy a couple of seats for Bern

and to give the money for the seats

GOOD AND EVIL IN JEALOUSY
All Right When It Spurs to Greater
Efforts; Wrong When II Be-
comes Unreasonlnq.

Jealousy develops very early in our
lives. In fact, even as children, we
felt jealous of other children-of their
tty clothes, their toys and play
Ings.
In our schooldays because of jeal-
ousy over the rapid advancement Of
other pupils, we have worked harder
perhaps, so that we, too, might reach
higher marks in our studies; thus we
have gone ahead of our schoomates.
Because we have been Jealous Of
our neighbours prosperity, we have de-
veloped ambition; because we have
been jealous of wife or husband, we
have tried more strenuously to please
them; because we have jealousy
guarded our country's honor, we have
secured place second to none among
the nations of the world.
Jealousy Is subtle passion, and
must be carefully analysed. We must
never lose sight of the fact that it Is
devastating monster, which II al
lowed to fasten itself upon our imagi-
nation too strongly, will grow to ter
| -itc proportions.
The force that Is expressed in Ieal-
ousy may If wisely governed and
guided into helpful channels. become
the source of achievement that shall
upllft and aid in the worlds work,
while if left to take its destructive
course 1t may bring down the walls
of the temple about the ears of an EN-
bryonic Samson.
unreaSoning jealousy is a bllghting
curse.

UNDERWATER TOOK THE BAIT
ouakers Shrewd, II Somewhat Un-
scrupuous Trick, Had the Success
He Anticipated.

Some months ago the Companion
| told a little tale of old privateering
| days, in which quick-thlnking en-
| ployee who discovered long overdue
privatcer coming into port with prize,
by some very hard riding overlook the
owner of the ship on his way to the
underwriters and saved him from the
useless payment of heavy premium.
An English Quaker was reminded of an
anecdote of the same period, based on
the same situation, which occurred
among his own people.
Two Quakers, merchant and an
underwater meeting at an inn, began
talk business over their meal. The
merchant presently proposed to his
friend to insure his vessel, lost or not
lost, which ought soon to arrive: In
fact, 1t was already slightly overdue.
The premium would necessarily be
high, but the times were perilous and
the Yankee privateers had recently
taken many prizes upon the route the
vessel must cover. The underwater
hesltated. The policy was made out,
but his mind was not made up. Final
ly he put the paper into his pocket,
saying:
81 will sleep on the matter, friend
Joseph, and tomorrow | will return IL
to thee, signed or unsigned"
They parted and went to their
homes. Before dawn an urgent mes
senger cattered at the merchants
door He was brnger of bad tidings.
The vessel was lost 1t was, unless it
was insured, heavy misfortune. If
only that policy had been signed the
day before He had little belief that
his hesitating friend would have de-
cided to take the risk; he was a eau
tious and keen person, with repu-
tatiOn for sharp practice. But Joseph
saw in that fact his opportunity. Sum-
moning messenger, to whom he said
no word of his loss, he dispatched him
with message, instructing him care
fully exactly what words to use. He
was to say:
"Frlend Joshua, neighbor Joseph de-
sires me to inform thee that, IL thee |
hast not underwritten, thee needst not |
do It."
The message was delivered promptly |
and precisely. Friend Joshua, who had |
not signed, and had decided against |
doing so, understood 1t to mean that |
the ship had arrived safely, and the
owner did not wish to pay the pre-
MUM, now useless, unless the signed |
document required him In honor and |
law to do so That is what the canny |
Joseph expected him to think; and he
proceeded to act as Joseph had |
guessed he might act. He pretended |
not to find the policy where he looked |
for 1t in his office, slipped 1t stealthily
among handful of other papers,
which he carried carelessIy with him
into the next room. where he went Os-
tensbly to seek further, and there sly
ly signed it. Presently he brought it
back and delivered it to the messenger
with the message;
Tell thy master had signed"
1t was not pretty bit of business
friend Joseph's trick was little too
Clever-but certainly no one can sym
pathize with friend Joshua. 1t was IL
case of the bitter bit.-Youth's Com
panlon.

New PIace-Names for Canada.

BY the decisions of the geographic
board of Canada made in April and
Nav three "TroutS" are eliminated
from our list of place-names. Which
is well, because there are plenty of
"Trouts" left, enough in fact to still
cause confusion.
A lake and river emptying into Hud-
son bay, In the Patricia district OF
northern Ontario, have been relieved
of the name, Trout, and given that Of
Sutton; a lake and river in Saguenay
country, Quebec, that bore both the
name Trout and Petite, have been Civ
en- the Indian name, Matamek; and
third Trout disappears by calling
the river north of Pontax river, in
north Quebec, Opamwastik.
A river empties into James bay,
south of Eastman river, Mistassini
territory, Quebec, had been called
Sheep river Its new name is Matt
kush, this Indian name meaning sheep.
In the new north these Indian
names seem particularly appropriate !;
most of them are euphoneous, and they
are associated with the traditions and
the history OF the original population.

were almost at their goal when the
shell of a German three-inches struck
one of them full in the chest. His
CO mrade stopped and searched the body
for the message, but found nothing;

the paper that was in it. He made
his way back to the post, seemed al
most ashamed not to have executed his

Torpedo Catcher Invented.

New London, Aug. 15.-After being
towed by a power boat down Long ISL
and sound fvm Bridgeport, aO-foot
raft, with peculiar looking apparatus
aboard, reached this harbcr early to-
day. 1t is torpedo catcher, and will
be tested officially at the torpedo sta
tion at Newport.
1t was invented by Fred Lapan OF
Milford, Conn. Its use by the United
States government, which now seems
assured, will be the means of saving
many torpedoes during practice, and
the inventor claims it will protect
absolutely all ships using it from
damage by torpedoes.
The catcher is an arrangement OF
half inch wire cables in net form on
the L-shaped sliding steel frame, and
is hung from the ships side. AS the
torpedo hits the net its head is held
and the impact releases the lower
frame Of the catcher and raises the
rear end of the torpedo above water,
allowing the propeller to spin without
narm.

PrOrating Salaries.

Editor Press: | think the Holtville
Tribune and the Press deserve a great
deal of credit for the stand they have
taken on the water situation. he
ranchers can forget many things, but
they can never forget the shortage OF
water caused by utter carelessness.
While we are having our water pro-
rated, why not prorate the salaries OF
the irrigation officers? 1t is an out
rage to continue paying salaries while
the ranchers are facing ruin, through
the shortage of water brought on by
tie incompetence of the officers OF
tie irrigation district. We will have
to ask our taxes lowered to meet ex-
penses. What will the future be?
Shall we secede from the U. S. and
Join Baja California? Or capture
Lower California and start republic
Of our own?
Americans have just as much right
in Mexico as Mexicans have here. We
do not bother Mexicans here as long
as they violate no laws. To tell Amer
leans to stay out of Mexico is foolish
You might as well tell man to keep
off the streets of Washington, d. c.
We say right here if Americans are
ever to be protected in Mexico, for
Gods sake do it now! We cannot re-
main idle and let bunch Of irrigation
officers draw fat salaries and ruin the
valley. Taxes and interest have al
ways been too high. We notice the
banks have reduced the rate of inter
est. There is no possible excuse for
the shortage of water-not the slight
est. The irrigation officers knew the
condition of the colorado and the Ala
mo. If they didn't, what were they
drawing salaries for?
