P0STMAS1ER'S
JOB TOPIC OF
DISCUSSIONS
Senate's Failure to Confirm
Nomination of B. S. Hancock
Causes Speculation.

Much discussion was heard in PEN
sacola yesterday concerning the status
of the postma stership here, in view of
appointment by President Wilson, of
B. S. Hancock, due to the fillibuster
with which the 65th congress ended
Tuesday.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Hancock will
receive a recess appointment, along
with the long list of others throughout
the country, which will keep him in
his present position until congress
meets again. This will be in June.
When the new congress meets, it is
anticipated by some that Mr.. Hancock
having supported Congressman J. Wal
ter Kehoe for reelection, will probably
not be the favorite of j. H. Smithwick,
VIII odefeated Mr.. Kehoe. Mr.. Smith
wick may seek the appointment of w.
L. Forbes, who was a staunch sup
porter of his candidacy. In that event,
it is rumored that the civil service
might apply the applicant making the
highest average receiving the appoint
ment.
No Announcement Made.
No expression with reference to the
status OF the position has been heard
from Mr.. Smithwick, however, and 1t
is not known that he would oppose the
appointment of Mr.. Hancock, which
was due to have gone through with
out a hitch. as a part Of the vast
amount of unfinished business of the
old congress.
In some quarters it is being predict
81 -Sr
senate will be republican. none of the
democrats placed in nomination by
President Wilson upon his return from
Europe and sent in form confirmation
by the senate during the vast days off
the session, will betconfirmed. In that
event. the president might simply make
holdover appointments. that would
hold good through the remainder of
the present democratic administration.
In that event there would be no change
for the succeeding two years at least.

TIMELY WARNING.

Thoroughly timely is the warning that is being given to the housewives of the country through a bulletin is- sued by the department of agriculture against the use of certain canning preparations to be used in connection with canning operations at home. This bulletin shows that these compounds and are usually in powdered form. the danger in connection herewith being that they contain salicylic and boric acid for the preserva ton of the art;- cles being canned.
 There was a time when canning es- tablishments resorted to ;he use of similar if not the same pres ervatives. An exhaustive investigation was made with the result that they were declared injurious to the health and federal and state laws have since been passed against the use of such conservatives by canners.
 This of course referred to those commercially engaged in canning and not to those who do their own pre- serving at home. There is nothing to prevent the use of such compounds in the canning of fruits and vegeta- bles for home consumption, but when it is realized that it has been consid- cred wise to prevent the big canners from using similar material in order to properly protect the health of con- sumers it can be appreciated that it is for the welfare of the home caE- ners to follow the advice of the de- partment of agriculture when it warns against the employment of such pre- servatives.
 It must or should be fully under stood that canning can be successful 1y done without resort to such prepar- ations and in the interests of safety that which is considered dangerous for general consumption should not be used in connection with the family canning.

MEXICAN TROUBLES.

As time goes on evidence is pre- sented which creates the impression that the Mexican situation is not go- ing to adjust itself. With one thing developing after another the problem is steadily becoming more complex and naturally it can not fail to give this government a due amount of concern.
 It is not solely Mexico's inability to deal with the rebel factions that is creating the anxiety, but the at titude it is showing regarding it's leg l islation and respect for rights, lives and property of subjects of other countries that gives the impression
 that the Carranza government is trouble.
 Mexico has been endeavoring to in- stitute what is regarded there as re-
 forms with the result that millions
 of dollars worth of property that has
 been legally acquired by the present
 owners is in danger of confiscation by
 the Mexican government Mexico is
 not satisfied with the taxation that it
 exacts but it even demands the whole property under it's standardization
 schemes and includes therein the elaborate developments which have been made by the actual owners. In addition thereto there are those who are engaged in Mexico in plunder and murder, hundreds of Americans hav- ing been killed in the past decade.
 Now to cap the climax we are in formed that boatload of men from a United States warship returning af- ter obtaining supplies was held up and robbed in spite of the fact that the American flag was flying. This seems to show much the same dis regard for our flag and men as was displayed in the Tampico incident and 1t is quite evident that the in- cident is one which cannot be disre- garded. What the plans of the gov ernment are after getting a detailed account of the affairs remains to be seen.

 The geological survey may be un- able to find evidence of abnormal profits at the mines but it does not seem that it should have much trouble in finding evidence of manipulation to maintain high prices and create higher prices in the future.

 From the point of view of the con- sumer the ice situation continues to be outrageous, Ice King Walker keeps on in the even tenor of his ways, maintaining that it is nobody's bus mess how much money he makes and snilingly admitting the success of his policy in charging all the market will bear
 The ice committees report is now before the legislative solons of the municipality. It proposes certain schemes for future relief. These, of course, will have to be studied as to their practicability. The electric light man has a scheme for artificial ice at a low price. It promises ven. It may be worth looking into. Any way it seems to be laid upon the municipal legislators not to la the whole matter aside and forget about it
 But that is about what the ice kings seem to think will be done Hartford Times.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Pensions For Widows.

MT. Editor: Will you kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to say that the impression that a thing to do with the Connecticut pen sion for widows law is all wrong. I have had several communi- cations, and a dozen calls over these matters. The fact is that the select men of the various towns are not do- ing their duty as the law directs. Es- pecially is this true of so large town as Pkainfeld, where there are many who are in need of and entitled to the state pension.
 Colonel Robert o. Eaton and staff are not to blame, they can draw the S8,000 per year salary granted them just as well if no widow ever gets her claim allowed.
 One widow in Plainfield that has been to me has three children. I write of this as many have written and come to me thinking that the regular pension department has something to do with the matter.
 Get after your first selectnan and if they are alive and have the least idea what you are talking about they will probably get busy.
 Those in need that the law was passed to assist. should not be oblig- ed to beg for what they are entitled to and no man in Connecticut knows this better than most any old selectman.
