THE RESULT OF CIVIL SERVICE— The postmaster and three old employes of the Indianapolis postoffice have been discharged*and with insinuations that there was catise. The truth no doubt is that the cause was their politics and because of such action as this civil service becomes an unpopular joke. The Indianapolis News says: Tuesday three old employes were summarily discharged from the Indianapolis postoffice, the basis for the action seeming to have been reports of inspectors. Postmaster Bryson says that the discharges were not made on his recommendation. Orders came from the office of the first assistant postmaster-general, Hubert Work. Each of the discharged men was informed of the reason for discharge, which seems to have been “political activity.” Whether there were any specific accusations or not is not known. The public and each of the men have a right to an explanation. If the facts show that the men were guilty of violating the rules of the department, of course, even long service can not

i protect them. Jacob F. Poe, assistant superintendent of mails, had been in the service for twenty-seven years, . and was close to the retirement age. The record of Charles B. Fawkner, superintendent of mails, dates back to 1886. though it was broken by two intermissions; but since 1900 he had served tn the position from which ihe has just been removed. Frank 1 Schmedel had been foreman of carriers for more than seven years; he was appointed to be carrier in 1897. But there is another mystery in connection with the postoffice. We refer to the summary discharge of the postmaster, Robert Springsteen, and the appointment of Mr. Bryson as acting postmaster prior to his confirmation by the senate and unbeknownst to him. When asked whether this extraordinary procedure carried witli it any reflection on Mr. Springsteen’s management of the office. Mr. Work, first assistant post-master-general, said: “None for publication." Here certainly is an insinuation. it had been supposed that the record of the former postmaster had been creditable to him and people will continue to think so unless definite proof is submitted showing that it was not. Mr. Springsteen said Tuesday: 1 wish to say that if there is adverse criticism of my conduct of the office the postoffice department has had since last March 4th to make known such criticism. As a matter of fact the relations between myself and the new administration have been most cordial and all communications to me from Mr. Hays, the postmastergeneral and from Dr. Work have been commendatory of the manner in which I have conducted the office. Mayor Shanks announces that he favors beer and wine and Lew is the loudest talker for Beveridge for senator. It is claimed the eloquent. Beveridge also favors important changes in the Volstead act and there are indications that the old question of prohibition will be injected into the Indiana campaign as well as most of tlie other states. Some questions just £on’t stay put. Have you paid your subscription to the Daily Democrat? This is pay-up month everywhere and we are making a special effort to have our list all checked up to 1923. We have for many yearn been making this campaign during January, anniversary of our first publication nineteen years ago, and we are more than pleased with the response this year. Don't overlook this. Yep, the weather is little “muggy” with sloppy snow under foot and ■threatening clouds spitting rain or snow overhead, but you who have lived in this part of the world any length of time will agree that this has been a fairly good winter so far as weather is concerned. So what's the use to kick? WANT ADS EARN—s—3—3 HEAD ACHED AND BODY ACHED There are various symptoms of kidi uey trouble —rheumatic pains, backache, sore muscles, stiff joints, and ! “always tired” feeling. Mrs. Geo. I Morgan, E. Fairfield, Vt„ writes: “My ' head ached and my whole body ached so 1 could not sleep. Foley Kidney Pills gave me relief.” They heal and strengthen weak, disordered kidneys and bladder and help them in their work of filtering the blood and casting out of the system the impurities that cause pain and disease. Prompt in action. UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY Time is the test of truth. And Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test in Decatur. No resident who suffers backache, or annoying urln ary ills can remain unconvinced by this twice-told testimony. Ask your neighbor! V. H Pennington, carpenter, 218 S. First St., Decatur, says: "Some time ago my back was hurting con tinually I do not know what brought on the complaint but it seemed to get worse every day. As anothei member of the family had used Doan’s Kidney Pills with good results I decided to try them. I got. a box at Hal.thousen's Drug Co. In a box at Halthouse’s Drug Co. In a short time the backache disappear ed.” (Statement given Dec. 5, 1908.) On Oot. 23, 1920, Mr. Pennington said: “My faith in Doan's is as strong as ever. Whenever my kid- ' neys get out of fix a short use ot i Doan s is sure to fix them up.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn I Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. 'w ——*■ ——

DOES LAUNDRY WORK AND HOUSEWORK TOO Surprised to Find Herself Feeling So Well Taunton, Mass. — “I used to have pains in my back and legs so badly, with other iiulfmiTiiiltroubles that women I I noontimes have, that II » 3Bj»yl my doctor ordered E “ ’ me t 0 stay * n bed a vWg week in every month. It didn’t do me much a| good, so one day after talking with a friend .y who took Lydia E. all Pinkham’s Vegetabj? .11 ble Compound for »bout the same troui bles I had. I thought ' wou ](j try it also. I find that I can work in the laundry all through Vie time and do my housework, too. Last month I was so surprised at myself to be up and around and feeling so good while before I used to feel completely lifeless. I have told some of the girls who work with me and have such troubles to try Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetable Compound, and I tell them how it has helped me. You can use my testimonial for the good of others. ’ —Mrs. Blanche Silvia, 59Grant St., Taunton, Mass. It’s the same story—one friend telling another of the value of Lydia E.
