TIME TO WAKE UP.

Mr.. Postmaster General Hays had better step over
10 the executive offices and inquire of Mr.. President
way back to that normally he has 80 frequently men
toned. Meaning In this instance, more particularly,
normally in conducting the public business To draw
it still finer, normally in that department which
comes in direct contact with all the people, every day
of the week, the postoffice department Here we are
xtruegling along trying to do business with the same
old crew Burleson operated with and that made a
joke of the great business of transporting and delv-
ering the mails Burleson, himself, was unblushingly
Incompetent The department went to sticks under
his management That is patent to everybody. In
competency was the rule from Burieson down.
Mr.. Hays has the ability to reorRanize the depart
ment and restore it to usefulness, but he cannot do
this until he has cleaned house from garnet to cellar.
And that means exactly getting rid of the entire lot
of Democratic postmasters- There never has been in
the history of this country an administration that pro-
fessed such loyalty to the civil service and at the
same time so inexorably ~practiced the spoils system
as the administration of Woodrow Wilson.
In the eight years of Wilson and the six years of
Democratic congresses, there was not a single meas
ure adopted that created additional employment of
any character but what there was provision exempt
ing it from civil service requirements.
The browning hypocrisy was in Wilson's order, after
placing $4,000 deserving Democrats, but incompetent
officials, in the postoffices of the country, attempt
ing to protect them under the civil service, creating a
life tenure. These were purely political appointments
The incumbents took no civil service examinations.
They had and have not now any civil service status.
Wilson simply waved the magic wand. Trickery of
the rankest kind. Everybody knows it. Done sim
ply to fasten the grip of the Democratic party on the
postal service for as long as the people would stand
for it.
Hence the suggestion to Mr.. Hays to shake Mr..
Harding into a condition of wakefulness to undo the
trickery perpetrated by Wilson and Burleson.
The mandate of last November included the postal
service as well as other departments of the govern
ment.
The confession of Postmaster Patten of New York,
that his administration is costing the business inter-
ests of that community millions of dollars every day
In the service he is rendering, ought to be enough to
wake somebody up.
If the ~postoffice department is to continue to be
a home for the feeble minded under so-ealled civil
service regulations instead Of a department Tor the
dispatch of the peoples mail, promptly and efficient
ly then let US throw up both hands and admit that
the Republican party has no more force or character
than the Democratic party, and that the people did
not mean anything by their seven million plurality
last November.

on The Future Of the United States"
Professor Barker has made an analysis
of h census. He passes in review
the various wastes incident to the
neglect of a prodigai generation. Tho
harvests Of the United States are
greatly diminished by the ravages Of
vermin which destroy at least 81. 000.-
ooo. 10000 worth OF food per year. The
bureau of entomology estimated that

No more may the violet and rose f1avors be applied

All blaeklisted. All taboo Prohibition is determined
to abolish the very last means of the festive kick
How. you ask, is the jinx to be put on the perfumed
kiss! Very simple. Prohibition has ways all its own
% evaporate moisture and render innoeuous the gen.
tie kick of even the perfumed kiss
Prohibition has dug up dimethoystriehnine and
brucine sulphate. These animals. whatever they are,
will put the everlasting kibosh on the perfumed kiss.
They are to be gently slipped into all perfumes and
toilet waters that hereafter are sold in the market
places where maidens do their shopping, with the hor-
rible design of destroying the use of perfume and
toilet water for beverage purposes.
Perfumed lips bearing a dose of either of these
drugs provide just one kick. The final one. The
chemical reaction following the kiss not only makes
a prohibitionist out of a fellow but it also makes q
perfectly good angel.
The opinion is growing. that prohibition is going
entirely too far.

SHERIDAN GOES TO COURT.

The proponents of the city manager plan of mu-
hicipal government in Sheridan have undertaken, by
handamus proceedings, to show the city commission
ms and city attorney, that the petitioners have a right
to be respectfully heard also to have an election called
whereat the electors may express their choice of con-
tinuing the present commission form or of adopting
the city manager form.
The city commissioners refused to call an election
on the petition of the requisite number of qualified
signers, under the law passed by the last legislature,
assigning as reason for their refusal that Sheridan
has no constitutional right to petition for r change
in government in its present status as a commission
governed city. The city attorney maintaining that
only by abandoning the commission form of govern
ment, as provided by the law of 1915 can the city of
Sheridan vote upon the city manager form now per-
mitted under the statute as passed at the recent ses-
sion.
Therefore the city commissioners must have a
change of heart or go into court on May 9 and show
cause why they have not obeyed the court order to call
the election petitioned for by the citizens. Isl
The supporters of the city manager plan feel GER
tain that the people have the right to have the form
of government they want and to have an election for
the purpose of determining the matter. In this view
they are largely seconded by the legal opinion of the
city.
The situation developed is the one topic of local
discussion

Shall THESE GO EREEa

Shall these go free who stood aside
AS men marched by; whose wits were Piled
Against our homes. while heroes died?
Shall these be told twas but a game
Which, played, should be forgot, and shame
Erased from off a traitors name?
IL this be true then let us call
The hero dead; they gave their all
Like these their prison, too, may paIi
And if they answer not, then let
These towards in walls and refuge yet,
And thankful be if we forget.

pointing May so Of that ,>ar as the
day for decorating the graves Of Civil
