MILLENNIUM COMING

POSTMASTER GENERAL FARLEY,
who bears several other titles, one of
which might we'll be deputy boss of the
Democratic party has caused consterna-
tion TO strike his fellow Democrats, par
ticularly those seeking office, by an
nouncing that efficient Republican post
masters will not be supplanted until their
terms have expired.
This complete reversal of the Demo-
cratic doctrine of ito the victors belong
the spoils'', is likely to cost Mr.. Farley
many good Democratic votes, but on the
other hand it is certain to win no small
number of Republicans into the Demo-
cratic fold.
The announcement goes a step further
and states that the civil service regula-
tions will be adhered to rigidly IN max
ing appointments of postmasters.
Incumbents whose terms have not yet
expired and who have given loyal and et-
ficient service to the government, are not
to be disturbed, according to Mr.. Farley.
Of course there will be some to claim that
as Mr.. Farley is the one to judge what
constitutes ''loyal and efficient service
a loophole of considerable proportions Is
opened to ease out any Republican hold
ing Job that could be better filled by
Democrat. In this way they may be 40
ing Mr. Farley a grave injustice.
On the other hand, Mr.. Farley Is
politician. 1t might be added that he is
a mighty good one. A successful poll
tician cannot rest content with thinking
merely of today. He must always have
his sights trained on the future
Right now Mr.. Farley is not a little
bit interested in 1886. He probably IS
astute enough to know that he can hold
the great majority of the Democrats in
the ranks and that anything he can do to
weaken the G. o. P. between now and
1886 will enhance his chances OF victory
in that year. What better way could ne
accomplish this than to make friends OF
thousands of Republican postmasters
throughout the country? The Democra-
tic brethren may howl bit now but
much will be forgotten when the party
calls. =.

PUBLIC HONEST

Is the public honest? Is the word
of the average man good? Can
you rely on the trustworthiness of
the typical American family?
Yes, says the Security First Ma
tional Bank of Los Angeles, after
accounting for the avalanches of
items that poured in after the re-
cent bank holiday. More than L.
100000 items were received by the
bank during period of a few days,
according to o. G. Horne, vice pres
ident and manager of the local
branch who revealed interesting
facts as to their disposal.
Included in the lot were thou
sands of checks cashed by grocery
stores, filling stations and drug
stores. Emergency checks drawn on
savings accounts, and some signed
in pencil were among them.
The bulk of these items was
cleared at once. Remaining were
hundreds that lacked Endorsements.
we're drawn irregularly, or for some
other reason could not be collected.
At length, however, the irregular
checks were traced to their makers,
the missing Endorsements were
supplied and the holiday books
closed.
Result? A loss to customers of
the bank so small as to be negli-
gible. Given wide opportunity, peo-
pie generally refused to take i'm
proper advantage of the stores and
business houses that accommodated
them.
The transit department of the
bank now handles its daily grist of
items with renewed faith in the
honesty and integrity of the pub
lie.

Two measures affecting the opera

No, indeed! Jump in after him

"Look!" went on the Bob Cat,
pointing again with one paw. "See

"I see them" said the Fox.
We'll" whispered the Bob Cat,
those are Uncle Wiggily's clothes
He took them off when he went in

do is to take Uncle Wiggily's
clothes. We1l run away with them.
