CONGRESSMEN SEE MENACE III MOVE

Oppose Roosevelt's Move in . Blanketing Fourth Class Postoffices. SCHEME MAYBE THWARTED DECLARED THAT EXECUTIVE HAS A POWERFUL POLITICAL MACHINE BACK OF HIM BY PROPOSED ORDER. Washington, Dec. 5. Congress may thwart the President's plan to blanket tinder the civil service the 15,XX fourth-class postmasters covered in his recent order. A law may be enacted tt the coming session defining the stat-. lis of fourth-class postmasters in a way to keep them out of the civil service. The impelling motive back of this Xnovement is, it is insisted by congressmen, not resentment against the deprivation of patronage which representatives in congress suffer under the president's order, but is far more Significant and goes deeper. It is the apprehension that this order contemplates building up a political machine of dangerous proportions and placing In the reach of the executive a political power which could bo used in the future to dictate presidential nominations and swing presidential elections. The marshalling in one distinct group of 15,000 federal employes, subject to no power of removal save by executive order, with practically life tenure of office, dependent solely upon executive favor, is regarded by many politicians in both, branches of congress as a menace. When it is taken Into consideration that this organization of federal employes comes, into peculiarly intimate and close touch Vith the people all the time, its power end influence upon the electorate are, It is suggested, more readily appreci ated. Congress expects to hear a growl from the country about the order. Rotation in postoffices is a political tra dition in many sections of the country, end it is not supposed that the "outs" v ill contemplate with composure the prospects of the "ins" being in forever. But that is a minor consideration. The main point, they intimate, is that the new policy will be resisted up on the higher ground of the menace to popular institutions by this building up of a permanent body of officeholders of a class so distinctly identified with militant politics as to be a power always assembled and ready to be Yielded from the source of highest political power In Washington. CREATING A SENSATION ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. Root Juice Is Making Many Remarkable Cures. Quite a sensation is being created in many cities of the country by the remarkable Root Juice discovery.
