THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AXD SUX TELEGRA3I, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1910.

TO GREATJIOBTHEMI

Richard A. Jackson Has Been

Made General Counsel of the Road.

FRIENDS NOT SURPRISED

The announcement, which became

known yesterday afternoon, of the ap-

lK)intment of Richard A. Jackson

formerly an attorney of this city, as

general counsel for the Great North

ern railroad, occasioned" no surprise

among his local friends, as they anti cipated that he would receive a posi

tion equal in importance, to that held by him while connected with the Rock

Island railroad company.

Mr. Jackson succeeds W. R. Begg in the Great Northern and will have his headquarters at Chicago. The recent stock exchange sensation in New York, at which time the value of the stocks went from 51 to 81 in a few hours, was alleged to be the cause of

Mr. Jackson's resignation as chairman

of the board of directors of the Rock

Island Railway company. Mr. Jack

son's rise in railroad circles has been

rapid.

A LAYMAN MEETING

At the solicitation of representative churchmen of the city, E. M. Haas has called a meeting of representative laymen of the churches of the city for the purpose of arranging for a large laymens' mass meeting, to be held simultaneously with the large Indianapolis convention in April. These laymens' movements have been quite effective and been enthusiastically received in all the large cities, but Richmond has been somewhat backward in the matter, and the puropse of this meeting is to awaken men to the opportunities offered through this movement. An effort will be made to secure some of the Indianapolis talent to make addresses at this proposed mass meeting. The preliminary meeting will be held at the Commercial club rooms this evening.

More thought is being given to the Stomach today than to any other organ. Dieting and a hundred other things are suggested, but the fact remains that we have to eat and that in the main we are eating the same food today that has been eaten for hundreds of years. The point, then, is to find a way of remedying an evil when we find it. There romm a time in the liven of all of us when a laxative Is necessary, only with some this requirement occurs more frequently than with others. But whether the occasion Is frequent or rare it is important that you take a simple, natural remedy. The farther you ret away from the man-made tablet or Pill and the salty purgative water tha better. You want something that combines the virtues of a laxative and tonic, something- that is sure in its effect and yet pleasant to the taMe. a remedy containing earth-grown vegetables and plants. Such is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, now for nearly a quarter of a century a recosnised household friend in thousands of homes. The world affords no better cure for constipation and liver trouble, for indirection and sour stomach, for sick

headache and flatulency than this reinedy. But in addition to Its lasatlv value it contains Ingredients that bay a tonic action In streactheatnt? an 4 Invigorating th muscles of th stomach and bowels. That Is what tha majority need a tonic laxative. But so ther may be no doubt about what It wi! to in your case. Ir. CaJ dwell will gladly send you a sample bottle free or rhanre upon receipt of your name and addm. Then, if It pleases you, yon ran buy it of your arurrtst at fifty cents or one dollar a bottle. Just as thousands of others are doing. J. It FVndsrburr. ansaba. Tex., not only usee It wit!i good success himself, but gives It to his children, for owing to Its mildnera and agreeable taste there Is no better laxative for children. 8. P. Mead. Waucoma. Ia.. has also found It a good family remedy. tr. Caldwell personally will be pleased to give you anv medical advice you may deal re for vourself or family pertaining to the stomach. liver or bowels absolutely free of charge. Explain your case in a letter and he will reply to you In detail. For the free s.ini pie simply send your name and address on a postal card or otherwise. Ir either request the doctor address Is Tr.

'ostal Defkitt

The Joint Postal Commission in 1907 reported as follows:

" It appears too obvious to require argument that the most efficient service can never be expected as long as the direction of the business is, as at present, intrusted to a Postmaster-General and certain assistants selected without special reference to experience and qualifications and subject to frequent change. Before the PostmasterGeneral and his assistants can become reasonably familiar with the operations of the service they are replaced by others, who, in turn, are called upon to resign before they can, in the nature of things, become qualified by knowledge and experience to perform their allotted tasks. Under such a system a large railroad, commercial or industrial business would inevitably go into bankruptcy, and the Pos"-Office Department has averted that fate only because the United States Treasury has been available to meet deficiencies."

The public accountants' report said

"The work of the Department and its development ia hindered all along the line by slavish adherence to old methods and to precedents created in previous years, and many reforms which might otherwise be instituted are hindered if not entirely prevsited by appeals to the decisions of the Comptroller, made, perhaps, many years ago under entirely different conditions. Then, again, the conservatism of Government officials is a generally admitted fact. There is no inducement to employees to suggest improvements in the service for the reason that if these improvements result in greater efficiency or economy of administration they will receive little credit; and, on the other hand, if new methods are not successful they will be charged with the whole blame."

In view of these official statements

by those whom Congress authorized to investigate the Post-Office, we submit that the Postmaster-General's attempt to wipe out the deficit in his Department by raising the postage on your magazines, instead of by devoting his energies to securing legislation that will place the service on a sound, efficient and economical basis, is unwise and unbusinesslike. The nature of his recommendations, and the attempt to exempt newspapers from any increase, are final grounds for a divorce of this great business department from politics. See this week's number of
