What is the Postoffice? It seems to the outside observer, from what has been printed concerning that postoffice deficit that it would have been a good thing for the fortunes of the Taft-Hltchcock machine it it had kept its hands off the national magazines. Already it seems that it does re illy bid fair to destroy the deficit this attack on the free press of America. But as the Palladium remarked at the time It will be by the truth blng told about the department and not by taxing the magazines out ot existence. The Philadelphia North American has one of the most accurate of the Washington correspondents Angus McSween. One significant bit of news that McSween sent to his paper the other day explains a lot of things about the internal workings of the postoffice which furnishes more deficit news: According to statements presented to members of the senate, the contracts with many of the railroads for fast mail service formerly provided that the railroads should have a bonus for running the mails up to schedule time, but should be penalized for every failure to make the time required by the schedule. The amount of penalties imposed two years ago was about $600,000. In other words for falling to perform the service, the railroads were fined that amount of money and the government saved accordingly Last year, through a lenient construction of the law, these fines upon railroads were either remitted or overlooked, so that the total amount collected did not exceed $30,000. This year the contracts do not provide for any penalties. This Is but one Instance of how Postmaster General Hitchcock is credited with seeking to make up the postal delcit. But Mr. Hitchcock has no intention, it is declared, of permitting this to appear against him in the total statement of the postal operations. It is charged that he planned to save this amount of money by taking it out of the pay of the railway mall clerks. The second assistant postmaster general has recommended that the force of railroad mail clerks be reduced 636, which, estimating the salaries of clerks at $1,000 each, would create a saving of $636,000, or $36,000 more than was given to the railroads through the remittance of penalties. The pending bllll does not actually reduce the force of mail clerks but It falls to provide for vacancies which have been created or for any increase to correspond with the yearly Increase in the volume of matter handled. The result of this policy has been the demoralization of the railway mail Bervlce. The mail clerks are in a virtual state of revolt against the overwork and failure of the department to pay them for extra hours. The efficiency of tho service, it is declared, has been materially affected and the whole public is suffering in consequence. What is the postoffice? The ordinary citizen has been led to believe that the postoffice is a department of the government engaged in the business ot transporting the malls of the United States. But what else is it? Is the carrying and distribution of the malls just a side issue of the department? The more this thing is stirred up the more it begins to appear that the postoffice department is nothing else than a gigantic machine in the hands of the administration used for political purposes. Now that the postoffice department has been brought into the limelight as an agent in the manhandling of the free press of the country Isn't it about time that we are finding out about it?
A GOOD REASON
Richmond People Can Tell You Why
It Is So. Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease, and that is why the cures are lasting. This remedy strengthens
and tones up the kidneys, helping
them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause backache, headache and distressing kidney and urinary complaints. Richmond people testify to permanent cures.
Martin Bulach, tailor, 433 S. Elev
enth St.. Richmond. Ind., says: "In the spring of 1902, I suffered from a weak and lame back and other symptoms of
kidney trouble. Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at A. G. Luken & Co.'s Drug Store and
their use brought me prompt relief.
Since then I have had no further need
of a kidney remedy, as my cure has been permanent. I gave a statement,
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, after I had used them with such good results and I still hold a high opinion of this remedy."

Any man who started to ind out about the postoffice department and its workings would find about the same difficulties as those surrounding the most secret of the secret fraternities. Considering that the postoffice department is only a branch of the public service why is that order No. 5 in the efficiency clauses provides that no one is to tell what goes on in the postoffice under penalty of 500 demerits? 700 demerits will put a man out of a job. Isn't that the reason that we don't know more about its inside workings?
KILLING NEGRO WITH
TRAP GUN UPHELD Parksley. Va., Feb. 23. George Strahn, negro, came to his death by
a gunshot wound from a trap gun set by L. C. Gordy to protect his home and we believe him to have been justified therein."
This was a verdict of a Coroner's
Jury.
It was charged that the negro acted
as messenger in carrying a letter to Gordy's daughter from II. J. McCready who was arrested charged with Inducing the girl to leave home.
FORTUNATE RABBIT;
UNLUCKY HUSBAND Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 24. Leroy Nampler, while hunting near Col ton, was shot and killed by his wife. The couple were gunning for rabbits. Nampler had wounded one and pursued it. Mrs. Nampler sighted the game and let go with her shotgun. At this Juncture the husband dashed forward and received the heavy charge
of shot in the back.
The young widow is prostrated. Mr. and Mrs. Nampler were married just one year ago in Indianapolis.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
TO SEE OWN CHILD
Muncle, Ind , Feb. 24. A suit brought by the mother of a twelve-
year-old girl against the parents of the plaintiff and grandparents of the child, to compel them to restore the
child's custody, is the novelty offered
in a superior court suit filed here,
Mrs. Anna McKilrick, wife of C. N.
McKilrick, of Dunkirk, has brought
habaes courpus proceedings against her own father and mother, Mr. and
Mrs. Lewis T. Bowman, farmers of
Dele ware county, to obtain possession
of Eva Gothup, age twelve.
It is charged that last October the little girl's grandparents asked that
the child be permitted to visit them. Since then the Bowmans have refused to give up the little girl or to permit the mother to see her. It is averred Mrs. McKilrick sets forth that when
last Christmas, she went to her par
ent's home with presents for the lit
tle girl, she was refused admission to
the home and was not permitted to
see the child. The court is asked to compel the Bowmans to produce the child in the courtroom and explain
their conduct.

of New York in introducing in the ! house at this time a bill looking to the ' annexation of Canada by the United!
States. It was peanut politics of the lowest variety. Almost peanut shuck politics, in fact. Its author knew when it was introduced that it could have no chance of passage. His object was to prejudice the chances of ratification of the agreement by the Canadian parliament, or possibly to startle England into stepping in with an attempt to forbid such action by the Dominion.

The president's next war will be with the magazines. It is reported that the popularity of Senator Bailey of Texas will not be increased by his open championship of Senator Lorimer. Under the Crumpacker bill, passed by the house providing for an increase over the present membership
of 42, no state loses a member, while '
13 states would have lost members under the Campbell plan to hold the house down to 391. The gains in the house with a membership of 433 will be one additional member each for Alabama, Colorado. Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah and West
Baltimore, and he was renominated there in 1840. The next three candidates of the party, Polk, Cass and Pierce, were also nominated there. In 1S62 and in 1S70 the Democrats again met at Baltimore, naming Horace Greeley for president in 1872. The New Jersey legislature has a law before it requiring cold storage warehouses to submit to Inspection by the state board of health and forbidding any food to be kept in cold storage over six months. The New York legislature has under considration a less stringent law. Several other 6tates claiming that there Is no way to prevent the shipment of cold storage food from other states, or when It is placed on sale, are working for a federal law, claiming that such a statute alone can protect the public health. Of course such a law would result in a federal bureau of health in charge of the sanitary inspection
of interstate commerce. Senator Jeff Davis, who has been on a long visit home, patching up his
political fences holds the record of
being absent from the senate more than any other member of that body not on the hospital list. Such things count in these days when every movement of a senator or congressman is closely watched. They are after Senator Davis athome for leaving Washington the day before a vote was taken on the ship subsidy bill which passed the senate after the vice president broke the tie. The pride ot Ozarks who has been explaining his absence from the senate on that occasion, is threatened with opposition for election by Gov. Donoghey and ex-Congressman Brundage,

the date of Washington's birth without a moment's hesitation. The 22d of February is a legal holiday, we believe, in every state in the union. But

the observance of the day does not j the famous two-thirds rule, which has
rest on legal enactment. It was gen
eral throughout the land before any law with regard to it was enacted. It began in fact, during Washington's life time, the first public celebration being by a party of gentlemen at a banquet at Fraunce's Tavern, New
York, February 22, 1783. At that banquet it was resolved to have an annual celebration, and the custom
spread rapidly throughout the land.

was the custom of congress to adjourn
for a Bhort time on February 22d, in
order that the members might have opportunity to call on the president
and congratulate him.
A National Party. From the Forum. It is too early to suggest that party government is outmoded ; for the spirit of partisanship is tenacious and the majority of men will still continue to attach themselves, ignorantly or determinedly, by chance or choice, to one of the greater political organizations. But it is not too early to suggest that parties are means, not an end; that the object of their existence is supposed to be the welfare of the nation, not the exploitation of private interests. Patriotism and civic duty are rightly inculcated in our schools; they are scarcely conspicuous in the actual administration of affairs municipal, state or federal. Government of the people by party seems but a
travesty of democracy unless the
party is justly entitled to use the prefix "national." Perhaps the time is not far distant when such a party, based on a coalition of the sincere and far sighted, will change the whole outlook and spirit of politics in this country.

Kckman's Alterative is a medicine made for the cure of Tuberculosis. It has cured this disease again and again. Often these cures have been effected where the surroundings were not ideal, where no intelligent care was taken of the patient, where money was scarce; good fond and good cooking unusual yet cures resulted. Now we argue and urge that Eckman's Alterative should be used in every case of Tuberculosis, in addition to good, nourishing food, and fresh air, which we all need. The facts the evidence of cures that have been made are Interesting reading. A remarkable cure follows: Weldon. 111.

My lungs became very much affected: my sputum was examined and Tuberculosis Bacilli was found. On February 21st. 1905, was advised to go to Kort Worth, Texas. While there an abscess in my right lung broke and discharged. I grew worse and became very much emaciated. My physician informed me that I must go to Colorado as quickly as possible. I left Texas June 1st, and arrived in Canon City June 3rd. very feeble. After being there two weeks, my physician informed me that nothing could be done, as my case was hopeless. Three weeks later I returned home, wightng 103 pounds, the doctor having given me no assurance of reaching there alive.
