The Gas Rule

Referring to the reports that postal clerks at various points are forming lodges of secret organizations of railway postal clerks, I desire that steps be taken at on.-.- to acquaint all in the service that 6uch action is regarded as inimical to the interests of the government. All clerks when they enter the service take an oath to well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office to which they are appointed and to perform all the duties required of th--m and to abstain from everything forbidden by the laws in relation to postoft'icos and post roads. It is incompatible with their obligation to the department that they should assume another oath with a secret organization in the service which may at any time interfere with the obligation which they have assumed upon entering the service. This is not to be c.-n.-tnied as interiering with any right which a clerk may have of acting pei -nal! and itulu idually with reference to organizations outside of the po-t;il service. "You are directed ' advise all railway postal clerks as to these principles of employment 'ltd iew.; here xpivssed and that they .shall be governed thonb."

That Is the iidi r .- -- 1 1 by Joseph Stewart, second assistant postmaster. It torbids i-:,d discourages the men in the railway mail service from joining the huk-m atiiliated with the National Federation. A man named N. is at the le ad uf the jiost office cl.-rks in Chi cago who are affiliated l'erhap.; liis experience will show exactly why railway mail clerks all nw-v the I'niied States aie being forced into the union by the very ai 1 "ii of the post office officials themselves. He gave out infori' at ion w hile a clerk as to the conditions under which clerks in the Chicago office were thing of tuberculosis, due to the ill ventilated quartets ni which they worked. Me had the authority of Ihe state health board t!:a' these conditions had caused the death of many ftl Ihe men in the w-u'n-, The d paitiiioiu refused to act. it was taken up ill Ihe newspapers :iid a a result ot a four days' campaign the ventilating sjsteius were a.i 11 pened and things made better. Nelson, however. w,e 1 -moved from the service after being out through the inquisition 1. He- inspectors for savirg the live of his fellows!

When the public I'eti.-cts that the men in the post office have not the right guaranteed v. citizen of the 1'uitcd States by the first amendment to assemble atal to petition the government for a redress of their grievances when it Miuas that the railway mail clerk is forced often times to work in clodded quartois in wooden cars, without sanitary arrangements, with con! lamps which set fire to cars, and above all, likely to be telescoped in a wreck, maiming and killing the clerks, is it any wonder thai the clerk- want to join an organization which can appear in person and defend th m as American citizens'.' Who is to blame 1,1 this? The ;t 11 m m 1 111 to 1 1 of Stewart 1 obviously the work of Hitchcock) if he dared to own tlu d. ed. is that the membership in the 1'nion and service of the government ate quite incompatible. The Federation, however, did not go into this without examination of this very point. No less authotitii - than the heads of the departments of law and economics of the l'nicr-!t of Wisconsin were consulted --an; hoiit ies on law and on the trades union movement, who examined the charter and the laws of the laud and pronounced the two things not incompatible nor conflicting. This Is not alone the fight of the postal clerk but of every American citizen who is beginning to realize how Hitchcock or any other man in control of the "steam toller," secured by this very means of gag rule, and the spy system which the federation will break up controls t Ii--destinies of the goi nmcnt through the selection of presidential candidates.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1903, by Edwin A. Nye THE MENTAL MAGNETS. I A newsnaner writer cotmiares the human will to the magneto of an automobile. Which is apt. You know gasoline when mixed with air has great explosive power. I'.ui something must explede the gasoli:.e The magneto does that. It is a little machine that makeelectricity and supplies the spark th.r explodes the gasoline. The rapid e plosions drive tin- engine and send th; wheeis ef the auto going. The magneto only needs to be start ed going by "cranking" the automobile and it goes on making sparks as loin as the engine runs. WellThat mysterious thing up in you head that we call will power is yon magneto. It makes the spark tha sets your whole machinery going an keeps it goiiig. The mental magneto, which is su; plied to every human being, explode the force th::t resides in the gray mat ter of yoi:r I. rain. The nerves carrj that force to whatever place it inecdod. Ib'ct'.use of that magneto yen ran g where you want to go. tip hill or down and do what you want to do. Is it not wonderful? Modern sc:eii'.(. h is revealed no facof greater iniportnm-f t!i.::i that f th trernendot'.s power of the hf.i-in will The will is supreme. If there be in you the desire to d or be yon need only crank your brain machine, set the divine spark to goinc explod" the force that is in your brain and away you go. Of course accidents may sometimes happen. You runy get a puncture in one of your wheels, or something may go wrong with ynrr "transmission." or yen may steer so h.-.dly th::t your machine will go to smash. Rut The power is there. It only needs Ihe spark to set the machine going and care in oiling and cleaning and guiding. Write it upon the tablets of your heart, bind it upon your forehead, teach it to your child. Yon can do or be what you want to do or be. Use your mental magneto. Incidental Music.

News Forecast For Co minor Week

Washington, April 1. The assembling of the extraordinary session of congress called to consider the subject of reciprocity with Canada will be the feature of the news fvent of the week. As it will be a new congress the Sixty-second the work of organization will probably consume the greater part of the week. President Taft's message is expected to be received by both houses Wednesday, the day following the opening of the session. The meeting of congress may perhaps have a strong rival for first place in the news columns in the reconvening of the supreme court of the t uned States providing that body hands down its long expected decision in the trust cases when it meets Monday after a two weeks recess. Leaving San Francisco Sunday night or early Monday morning. Col. Roosevelt will visit Reno, Nov.. Sacramento. Eugene. Portland. Tacoma and Seattle, arriving in Spokane at the end of the week. Charles l. Hilles, assistant secretary of the treasury, will begin his duties Monday as secretary to the president, succeeding Charles l. Norton, who has resigned to become vice president of the First National bank of New York. A convention of North Dakota farmers and business men has been called to meet in Grand Forks Tuesday to make a formal protest against the proposed reciprocity agreement with Canada. The Georgia prison commission will SHERIFFS WIFE IS ASKED TO FREE BOY Grabbing Mrs. Albert Steen by tht arms and demanding the immediate release of her son, Orville Thompson, who was arrested for public intoxication, Mrs. John Thompson created quite a scene at the county jail. The son. who is blind, was not at the jail, and it was not until after Mrs. Steen had (ailed for help that his mother was made to understand the situation. A card party was given in the afternoon by Ihe sheriff's wife and it was a few minutes after the guests had departed that the incident occurred. The woman rang the front door bell of the jail residence and. walking into the hall in a hysterical manner, grabbed Mrs. Steen and excitedly demanded her son's instant release. Mrs. Steen was badly frightened and called for assistance. Her arm pains her considerably. "THIS DATE

Ice Dealers Ask Consumers' Co-operation Retftg & Johnson Made Suggestions to Better tbe Service The general public is no more Interested in good ice delivery service than are the ice dealers who are responsible for the work. This, is especially true in a town where one company makes all the deliveries, for the attitude of the public toward the one company is mor critical than if there were competishown that under one manage the delivery service has on are shorter, the time of more uniform, and the ris ing customers less that three or four sets of wagons are serving scattered consumers over longer routes. The one weakness of the present ice delivery system is the selling of ice for cash by the wagon men. It is this fact of handling a certain amount of money each day, that offers a constant temptation to the drivers. We have frequently seen young men who had always been honest and trustworthy become dishonest and demoralized by this temptation, and that of accepting free drinks from saloons, which always expected favors in return. The price of cash ice was made fifty cents per hundred last year. In order to do away with the cash business. But there are still a few families who have preferred to pay cash at the higher rate, possibly on the theory that they got better weight or better service. We do not believe, however, that they get sufficient advantage, if they get any, to offset the increased price paid, to say nothing of the annoyances of making change, not having change, disputes about temporary charges in such cases, etc., to which the cash customer is subjected. Thus it is, that while the cash customer reaps no advantage from that plan, the cash he pays .becomes an element of demoralization in the ice trade generally.. For the possession of the cash sometimes tempts the wagon man to either give somebody short weight, or to take out extra unearned coupons, so he may absorb a part of the cash and still be able to "check up" for his day's work. For the accommodation of small consumers or those who prefer to pay oftener we have prepared small coupon books 300 pounds at $1.20, and 500 pounds at $2.00 which can be bought at our office, 13 S. 9th St., or will be delivered by our collector to any part of the city on notice. The prices for ice for the coming season are the same as in the past. For family trade, to those taking 100 pounds or more at each delivery, 35 cents per hundred; to those taking less than that amount at any delivery, 40 cents per hundred. The prices to other classes of consumers range from 15 cents to 30 cents per hundred, depending on the kind and quantity of ice used. What we particularly urge, in the best interest of all concerned, is that all our consumers co-operate with us by using the coupon books the coming season, and giving this plan a fair trial. We believe it will result in the most satisfactory service that this city has ever had, RETTIG & JOHNSON. April 1st, 1911.
