IContlnued From Page Onei) Wayne county, carriers with , his own party-henchmen.? ' . Mr.. Foulke'i letter' to Representative Gray follows: Dear Sir: 7- .-. -,-, , Whan I saw you on December 30 and 'asked . how . you came to ' request the list of eligible from the Civil Service commission, you told me that y.ou did not ask' for the Wayne county eligible list; at all but that it was sent you ' voluntarfly. from the commission with the statement that' it was done at the ' request of , the. post office department. Before leaving Washington that' evening I wrote to. the commission expressing surprise and, wonder at such action on its -part. - The commission has just answered as follows: ... . ,. , , 1 1 Quote Gray's Letter. .You state' that Congressman, Gray tells you that he did not ask for these lists at- a 11 but that such . ; lists " were sent him by the commission. The records of the commission show that under', date of October 30,- Mr. Gray wrote to the commission as follows: ,: -. "On the 22od Instant I wrote you for the list of eligible for appointment as rural carriers in the . auto service to be inaugurated in Wayne coun'r. Tnd. and received your response of tUe that the eligible' under . the, maml'i i tion of AugUBt 14th would be se"t ms What I want is the list of the eligtbles under the examination held during the present month for the auto service in Wayne count;- as soon as such eligible list has been established, and hope the same can be sent to mo without delay." : , . The records further show that under date of November 1, he telegraphed as follows: . . "Send immediately eligible list rural , auto carriers. Wayne county, Indiana." Commission Answers. Under date of .November 3 the commission wrote as follows: "In response to your letter of Oct 30, regarding the mptcr rural carrier examination held In Wayne county, Indiana, on August i. the commission has-the honor to inform you that a list cf the eligibles obtained with their grade? was mailed you under date oi November which list has doubtless reached your office by this time." You ask me to state what criticism I bad to- make cf . your recommenda tions, of ejigiblcs for these rural furrier placeB, , 1 ". toll yc-q that, under Section 10 of the civil service law you had no right to make recommendations., at -411-except as to residence or character and you told me that you had found the character-of everyone of the applicants to be good so there would hardly.' be-any special ground for recommendation of one above another in. this respect. ... Gray Explains Action. As to 'the manner.-in -which you made your , selection of" carriers vou aid 'you thought the people qught to nave: in carrier they vwanted and you assumed that the .'people of , a particuJar town wanted the carrier from their own town and that therefore you gave the .preference to the man. coming from that town rather than to the highest eligible from the county, but that -otherwise , you chose the highest man on the list and you asked me to how,' a single case where you had not made , your choice properly. I told you : that after I had heard from the commission I should write to you upon this subject. : - Foulk Makes Denial. I now wish to say that you do not appear to have acted upon the principle , claimed by you in. V choice of these places. If you think that men from the particular locality where the routes 'start-' should be selected even above those who stand highest upon the eligible 'list, why did you choose Verlon P. loland for Route B, which starts, from , Richmond, a town six miles away from GenterviUe, where Poland resides. Mr. Foland himself appears to have "explained the reason for your departure froni the r thod of selection which you claim to have observed. He told Mr. Joseph K. Pejtz, who was showing him over the route in December, "that his father and Finly Gray were old school friends and that his father had spent a week', with Mr. Gray in Washington.? He said he bad. been down to see Mr. Gray at Connersville about taking the examination and Mr. Gray told him to go to Postmaster BecL ' who would explain the . whole thing about pan-rs, etc. Foland added' that he went to Beck, who asked him .where he lived, and when he said Centerville, Beck said. "That's the way with the Centerville people; they .are coming here expecting us to do everything for them," and told Foland to go back to the postmaster at Centerville, and he. would give. him what instructions he needed. Foland then said to ' Beck that it was -Congressman Gray who had told him to come aqd get his .instruction. - Then there was a. great change in the postmaster's manner ai , Beck -gave him his instructions and Foland, although living in Centerville,' was appointed carrier in the route from Richmond- - - Incident la Illustrative. This incident' illustrates exactly the ay In which -this peculiar: system of double eligible list might be expected to. work nd. does, work .in. distributing congressional patronage, by which the v congressman can alwars give tome good non-political reason for the ippolntrrient and yet can always Buceeed In getting bis own party and political friends in the places. " . As to, your claim that subject to the

rule of appointing a local man you have appointed .the - highest applicant on the eligible list, does not appear to be sustained by too facts. Postmaster Beck himself told me that Thomas Logan stood a fraction higher upon the list and yet'-you recommended the -appointment of James C: Starr: ' Logan is a Republican, whilo Sta-.fi. a Democrat, -active in politics; who had been formerly township trustee .in Boston township and would be useful to you politically in this, county. , The turning out of the old carriers has worked great hardships. Not only have they lost, without, any fault of their own, - their' free delivery .wagons avl equipment for which they.' paid their own money, but some of. these carriers have been the support of widows end other dependents in Ptiittned circumstances who'are nqw deprived cf a livelihood. It recalls cvae of the worst evils that prevailed under the spoils system before s the civil service law3 was passed. ' Offers Poor Stimulus. Moreover, it is saying to the government-employes: "No matter bow well you' behave or how" faithfully - you" perform your duties, you can not remain if the political interests of 'some congressman demand a change." This is a poor stimulus to efficient, service. Take for : example the illustration of the -carrier, Joseph Peltz: . He was admitted to the service on competitive examination in 1909, being highest on the list .and -passing with a record of 97 per cent. He served -faithfully.First Love Lures Screen Star Back : William Clifford, New Horsley (Mutual Leading Man. i In the recent acceptance of an, engagement to play leads in one' of the David , Horsley companies producing" Mutual - Masterpictures,.

Another Hunting Season Qpnx

Postmaster Beck himself told me that Pelt ws an efficient carrier. He fur nished his own automobile with which he distributed the mail on his route for a salary of $1,200. . He is now dismissed to make place for two of your Democratic supporters who divided his route between them (with some other territory) and are to receive a salary of $1,800 in the interest of greater economy, and yet he and all the other dismissed carriers received from the government a little ' book of '"Instructions in the Conduct, of the Rural Delivery-service," in, which Section 11 states, "Politics or religious affiliations of applicants are given no considera tion nor are political endorsements entertained. The merit and qualifications of the' applicant and the good of the service are alone considered." Section -17 "state;1 A- rural carrier will not be removed except upon written specific, charge .filed' with- the post office department! of v which he shall have full notice, nor-until be has had an opportunity for defense." ' Can thee carriers be blamed if, under 'these circumstances they consider these assurances of r their government a hollow mockery? Republicans Removed. ' . The bulk of the. men removed .to make way for these hew carriers were Republicans, but -there was at least one Democrat on the list, but is now. in the list of the carriers!: from Richmond appointed',' upon ypur recapamendation there, is not a single Republican. Every "one of the ; four is a Democrat : Even Elliott, who .was at first.- supposed to be a Republican; stated to one of the other carriers that he had voted .for' Wilson and Gray. "I must remind you that tbese rural free delivery carrier were in the competi tive classified- service,' and that parti-1 san reconstruction of that service is a distinct violation of the spirit as well as the letter of. the ciyil service law.

WILLIAM D. FOULKE. GOOD NEWS Many Richmond Readers Have Heard It and Profited Thereby. ; ."Good, news travels fast," and many bad back sufferers in Richmond are glad . to learn where relief may be found. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with this tested remedy. Here is an example worth reading: - Charles M. Scott, 31 South Eleventh street, Richmond, says: I have used Doan's Kidney Pills with good success and I sincerely recommend them to any one troubled with kidney disorders or a weak and lame back. Should I ever have a return of the trouble, I would surely take them again. I think there is nothing better for the kidneys." -- Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney - remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Scott had. Foster-Mllburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv. Start Tomorrow and Keep It Up Every Morning Get In the habit of drinking glass of hot water before breakfast. We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable. Let' us live well, eat well, digest, well .work well, sleep well, and look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy w hen "they arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can," instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening' the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole' of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. ' Everyone, - whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a 'glass of real hot vater with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous day's ' indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins ; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is" wonderfully invigorating. - It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and "gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your , breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the Inside organs. The millions of people who are both , bothered with constipation, bilious, spells, stomach trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions .are urged to get a quarter pound. of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but Is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of inside-bathing before breakfast. adv. .' .. , ; "

SAGE Resolve to Make Health Your BleMing " for' the Year of :191. . : - i Last month I wrote yon an article on the value-of recognizing cny 'disease early, and Cancer and - Tubereulocis particularly.- I trted to point our the necessity of knowinx.. exactly the location and .nature of , a disease . if it were- to , be . treated . correctly, and therefore sucoeeUyV. Tha.'thia article was appreciated was clearly shewn by the. number of people who called XQ tee me for the purpose of securing" advice, esamtoacjqn and . treatment, . : In the ertiele "of. last month, I.. promised tnother. So here It. H, Jwt HtUe Ctraightfurward t&Qt. sn ppel to your reason, common, sense' sod. good' Judgment. - - -. This is the beginning of a "New Tear, and we all, ereryone of -nay are fUled with hope that it may brln? happiness tnd prosperity However, before ft can bring, either we must-possession thing which is absolutely essential, and that Is Health. .Nearly everyone makes some resolve for the New Tear, but how few resolve 'to do all in their power to gain' or retain their health. Yet I am sure that not one of you will dispute the fact that it is the all important possession, for without Health; happiness, prosperity, success' or any of the enjoyments of this life Is impossible. Disease or illness ' usually and most frequently arises from the violation of some law of ..nature: Take for example, exposure' results', in a "cold." Over-eatinr. errors, etc.. are I responsible for stomach and intestinal disturbances; how easily they could have been avoided had care been taken. As it is in tbese common dis orders, so it is in all. "for everything there exists a reason and ' a definite cause.!' If this be true, and it is a known fact that it is, are you who are ill or, sick, doing your duty to your selves to allow a disease to pursue Its own course without knowing where It is. what it is or what causes it? "Know thyself," and this is rapidly becoming possible. The last five year has seen the birth of one new discov ery after another along medical line There is being waged a battle, a strug gle for Knowledge against me un known In disease, In which doubt and uncertainty is rapidly giving way -to complete understanding. . This tremendous effort is being made by some of the most brilliant minds the world has ever known, and it is done that disease may. be known, understood, prevented and cured. Great laborator ies and hospitals are carrying on con stant disease investigation and re search. The fruits of which must and will come to you who need them. By tireless and constant effort I am able to keep In touch with all that is new and important to. my specialty, and In addition to make the effort to Improve, add to and bring my own methods as near perfection to serve, you who may need or. want my services. If you are ill, sick, a sufferer from some perplex ing, puzzling disease, which has resisted the efforts you have made for successful treatment,' come In and see me, let's talk it over, I shall only be too pleased to examine and advise you. free of any charge or obligation whatsoever. I may not be able to cure you, your disease may be incur able, if so. I shall tell you. I win giv you an honest,- straightforward ' opin ion of your condition or ailment, do ing it with your best Interests at heart, So make this your resolution for the New Year, the year of 1916: Resolve, to do all that you possibly can to retain or regain your Health, and if you do, 1 am sure that happiness and pro. perity will come to you without even. a wish. I will be at Richmond, Hotel Westcott, Saturday and Sunday; Janu ary 15 and 16, returning every four weeks or 28 days. Call and see me. Practice limited to Chronic. Nervous i end Special Diseases.
