POSTMASTER KEMP

DOSTOFFICES. like tn" roStotlcc 10
i partmcnt. usually run themselves. They
are governed by tradition and operated By
the force of momentum under the direction
of efficient minor executives long accustomed
to the work Of mail distribution.
Because these minor executives. tho real
brains and sincws of the department, are
10 seldom heard of or recognized. the ap-
pointment Of Colonel George L. Kemp as
Postmaster in this city will be peculiarly
satisfying to everybody.
Colonel Kemp had tho enthusiastic sup
port Of ex service men, and his work in the
army was such as to warrant his popu-
larity. But he has been in the mail service
for many years. He came up from the ranks
and he knows all about the cXacting routine
of the postal service.
The rank and file of Postolicc employees
have needed a spokesman informed by long
experience. They. above all people. ought
20 welcome Colonel Kenp'S appointment to
succeed Mr.. Thornton. since "A chang" Of
administration was inevitable. a better ap-
pointmcnt could not bc suggested.

that the relatively poor and powerlcss Polish
State would never risk another impact with
Russia If 1t were not aided and abetted by

The French, the English and the Ger

litical and economic supremacy in Russia.
Their goals are the same. Each Power has
its own method and its own manner Of

Because whisky is prohibited it exercises
a now sort of lure upon the type of mind
that is always fascinated by the sight or
suggestion of forbidden things. And when
the amateur drinkcr gets within the charmed
circle where prohibition laws are imperative

a crusader eight years ago.
Before any concrete expression had been
given toward revising the Constitution he
was toiling away with one fixed idea upper

Luther s. Kaufman is his name. He is
an attorney at law. with offices in the Mu-
tual Life Building in this city.
ms is the story of his work.
It was not primarily aimed Mt defeating n
proposition for Constitutional Convention.
1t was designed to prevent or defeat the
enactment Of certain laws.
In the course of some legal work wears
ago Luther s. Kaufman began looking into
appropriations by the Legislature. lie found
that money had been given for what he re-
garded as seCtarinn purposes.
lie decided that the practice was wrong
1t was unconstitutional But he could not
accomplish anything without aid.
With few friends of the same mind he
organized the Anti Sectarian Appropriation
Association. 1t started with fewer than n
dozen members
Through the years this was the instru.
ment that lie used, and still uses. for his
purpose.
He appealed to the Legislature about these
sectarian appropriations. The Legislature
happened to be deaf in both cars about that
time
Then Luther s. Kaufman appealed 70

him down.
