(National News Association) NEW YORK, April 5. In an editorial entitled "Politics and the Post Office," ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, candidate for the Republican nomination, says in the current edition of "The Outlook": Do the American people wish the postoffice department to be run as a great political machine in the interest of that faction of the dominant party which at the moment controls the National patronage, or dolhey wish it to be run as a great business corporation in the interest of the people as a whole? This is a question which should receive very serious consideration at the present time; for at the present time, as hardly ever before in its history, the postoffice department, together with most other Federal departments, is being used primarily as a political machine to ierpetuate the control, within the party, of the present forces dominating the party in power. It is very difficult to get clear and unequivocal proof, such as would be satisfactory in a court of law, of statements like the above. In practice, of course, there is not a single honest man who at the moment is engaged in practical politics who does not know that this statement is the exact truth moderately expressed. But as to one State we happen to have proof that cannot be controverted. Recently presidential preferential primaries were held in Oklahoma. The federal office

holders took the lead in endeavoring

to prevent as it proved, unsuccessfully the expression of the general preference of the Republican voters as the primaries. I have before me as I write the original of a letter sent to Mr. Figley, the postmaster at Hastings, Oklahoma, by Mr. James Harris, the chairman of the Republican state committee. The envelope is marked "personal," together with a memorandum to return it after five days to the Harris Brothers. The letter itself runs as follows: Dear Sir: I am in receipt of the following letter from the department: "The commission of Newton S. Figley, postmaster at Hastings, Oklahoma, will expire February 28, 1912. When last inspected, this office did not appear to be in a satisfactory condition, and unless the postmaster can be relied upon to raise the services to a higher standard of efficiency, it is believed that he should not be re-appointed. The department will be pleased to receive as promptly as possible an expression of your views as to what action in this case will be for the best interests of the service. I hope you have your office in firstclass condition and will continue to have it so. If you will bring in a delegation to the State and District Conventions Instructed for Taft and Jim Harris, I will see that you are reappointed. With best wishes, I am Very truly yours, (Signed) J. A. Harris, Chairman. -Mr. J. E. Dyche, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who forwarded the letter to me writes in an entirely friendly

spirit about Mr. Harris and says that Mr. Harris has admitted to him that the letter is genuine and that, moreover, he knows Mr. Harris's signature. He gives me the names of various other Federal employes whom it was attempted to influence in similar fashion, and mentions that Mr. Figley is a man of large family and no capital, and dependent upon the income from the office for a living. Mr. Figley's real sympathies was with the progressive movement, but on account of his financial condition and the fact that his term of office was to expire on the 28th of February he was obliged to submit to the dictation of the manag

ers of the party; so he promised to do what he could. "The recall of the ten nominations for postoffices in North Carolina, for avowedly political reasons, and the case of the Bessamer Alabama, postoffice, instanced by Senator Bristow, are other cases in point.

Congressman George W. Norris, of

Nebraska, has rendered a real and

great public service by Introducing at this particular time a bill to take the postoffice department as completely

out of politics as the Civil Service Commission is now. Various plums have been proposed to achieve this

purpose; that of Mr. Norris seems admirably designed for the end in view. Congressman Norris has taken the lead in a movement of prime importance one in the interest of good government .administration, and in the interest of decent politics and in the interest of the genuine rule of the people.

' SHAPING DESTINY. No man can do his work well, as we!l as he can, year in and year out, and not be hacking and hewing at something more implacable than wood or stone and not be shaping something more durable than iron or steel, even his own characler, his own spiritual destiny. Every workshop is a workshop for forging that, for making it strong and beautiful. John W.Chadwick.

ltfdependstentirely on where you buy your spring outfit not on what you pay for it. The woman who wears a Coat or Suit bearing the Wooltex label is just as well dressed as any woman can be, no matter how much she pays. You can pay $75 or $100 for a tailor-made suit and have nothing better in either style or workmanship than you can get in Wooltex for around $25 to $35. This sounds like a careless statement, but it is a simple fact. We'd like nothing better than to be asked to prove it. Will you let us prove it to you? Will you let us show you that you can be dressed with the best for the Easter Parade and yet get your outer garments at moderate prices. Come and see.

You'll be missing a treat if you fail to see our showing of Fine Gowns, Demi-tailored Dresses, Lingerie Dresses, Silk Dresses, Fine Tailored and Lingerie Waists, Silk Waists, all at prices that are surprisingly moderate when styles and quality is considered.
