aBDING INSULT TO INJURY

Because postmen have scrupulous-
ly kept out of politics in the past
the government pays them about
half what they can earn.
When they and their friends point
out that their wages are pitifully
inadequate to their ability, and
equally inadequate to their needs,
they are given an advance of few
dollars a year.
And now, when a presidential
campaign is on, they are sternly for
hidden to take any part in politics
whatever.
No more arrogant, no more I'M
American order than this has ever
been issued by department official.
Postmen, like cabinet officers, are
citizens, and presumably have the
right of citizens to- vote according to
their own interests.
The postmaster general from
whose office this impudent order
was issued, is the busiest politician
in the cabinet.
He has just returned from San
Francisco, where he worked eighteen
hours a day in the interests of can
didate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency. His candi-
date, incidentally, was defeated.
He has been, since his incumben-
cy, of his office, in politics con-
stantly, and unless he experiences an
amazing change Of heart he will be
in politics through the entire cam
paign.
Yet this gentleman, who is as
much an employe of the postoffice
department as any letter carrier,
'brazenly forbids any men under him
ITO ~engage in politics. And every
letter carrier knows that violation
Of this order is extremely likely to
cost MIN his Job.
g OF course, If the policy Of the ad-
ministration and of congress toward
the postman is continued, most of
them will quit their places anyway,
so the order is not as much of a
hardship as it looks.
It is nevertheless an unwarranted
meddling of the rights of a citizen
who, unable to get justice from one
administration, naturally desires to
do all he can. to put a more eff
cient administration in office.
We do not know to what extent it
will be obeyed. The order itself is
the sort Of order that might be is
sued by an absolute monarchy, but
which should not be tolerated in a |
republic.
II postmen in the past had been
as active in politics as cabinet Of
ficers they would not now have to |
ask outside help to get them living |
wages from the goyernment.-Bur

When Capt. Alexander Aaronsohn,

George of England. it was probably

ASYLUM REPORT

Chairman P. L. Neil OF the asy-
Ium board was over from Boise
Thursday afternoon, and A. J. Sny-
der came up from Sprint field to
attend meeting of the board. r.
J. Comstock had gone to the park
before notice of the board meeting
was given.
In. company with DR.. Hoover, the
medical superintendent, and press
representative, they went thru the
buildings and saw what they have
always seen before on such, trips, and
then they got into the state car and
took trip thru the fields to see the
crops. This part of the meeting
was finished by 4 o'clock, and Mr..
Neil said he would be going on in his
car in the evening.
The crops at the institution look
ed very good, tho the alfalfa second
crop was light. Where it was spray
ed for weevil last spring it was bet
ter and showed less damage from
the insects than where it was not
sprayed.
There is eleven acres of corn that

ish tortures.
The Aaronsohn family came to Pal
estine with the first group Of ardent
Zionist pioneers over 80 years age
from Roumania. Their colony near
Haifa was model farming commu-
nifty. 1t was here that Aaron carried
on his agricultural experiments which
brought him worldwide fame. The
Turks, when they captured and began
torturing the Aaronsohns for intellil-
gence work, destroyed all his price
less experiments and notebooks.
Aaron himself was killed over . year
ago when the airplane in which he
was riding from London to the peace
conference in Paris crashed near BOu-
loxne. His knowledge of Palestine,
particularly Of the location Of water,
was considered by the British staff as
one Of the biggest factors In their sue
cessful campaign against the Turks.
The AarOnsohns, as well as the other
inhabitants of Palestine, were Turkish
subjects, but the terrible oppressive
measures launched against the Jews
by the Turks shortly after the out
break of the war forced them to seek
help from the allies to save their peo-
pie from destruction.
