The law that put the postmaucrs on the
civil icnice list will cause wrtit commotion at

as men live there, wl!I be some bright gentle

revered proposition that to the victors belong
the potl. it put men in piace ana cpi mem
a long a they mace good, mat was an
right, o far as it wer.t at first, but it has gone
loo far. If the postmaster is to be under civil
service, why not the President and the Cbn

in power and hold tcern tnere.iorever ana ici
them run things to suit themselves? That
would cut the politics out of it. and that was
the theory of civil service. But that will never
happen. The JTcGeni made a serious mis
take when he gave the postmaster appoint
ment up. That should have been left for the
Congressman and the 'people to fight over.
Pretty soon, and if there are no appointive
eflkcu, how ca"n a man get up enthusiasm to
yell for hi particular candidate? How can
we raite the kale seed to conduct an election?
Most always the mm who puts up his contri

how can a patriot generate steam? We

nigger wanting to make a little

A FOOLISH MISER
GETS DESERTS
The old fools are not all dead yet, and a few
young ones, we suspect, are coming on. l ms,
from the Kansas City Times, relates briefly
the life and adventures of a certain fool living
on the banks of the placid Kaw: . .
Nearly $r.ooo in gold that for twentv
years he had carried back and forth ina
dinner bucket from his home in Gallatin
to bis farm two miles away was stolen
Saturday from Lee Rogers. Known as a
man of frugal habits, Rogers' long had" -been
suspected of having hidden treasure
and thieves had made efforts to locate his
hoard. Saturday he started out for the
farm, as was his custom, carrying a sack,
in the bottom of which was the dinner
bucket bank. While he was watering the
cattle some one found the gold and took
With the banks these day's as solid as the
Rock of Gibraltar, with so few bank failures
that we forget where the last one happened,
a man who will carry a thousand 1 dollars
around with him deserves to be robbed. The
pity of it was that he wasn't sooner relieved
of his burden. The folk who hide money in
old trunks; who bury it; who fear that some
bank might go wrong, always deserve to lose
all they lose. The man who thinks so much of
his dirty dross that he is afraid to let it work
for him; afraid to trust it to old and estab
lished institutions of integrity .and honor,
should of course be examined and have his
money taken from him by a process of lawi
But there being no such law it is well that
highwaymen and robbers appear upon the
scene and relieve, the fellow of his great
trouble.
Imagine, a man carrying a thousand dollars
in gold for twenty years in his dinner bucket
think of his loss of happiness while he car
ried it and his greater grief when it disap
peared. Silas Marncr was not a fiction. He
lived, and he still lives, in. so far as the part of
his life concerning- greed is concerned.
Th c " question is, wiTlhebarreTKrt bealj

Scandal ous Proceeding. "
Dr. Johnson, of Charity and Children, got
up great excitement by advocating, the' mule
instead of the bloodhound to track fugitives
from justice. We had always been a firm ad
vocate of the bloodhound, but Dr. Johnson so
carefully and forcefully presented his case that
we fell tor it and became at once an ardent ad
vocate in favor of supplanting the dog with
the mule. True, we thought maybe it might
interfere with farming operations that is to
say, if the mule were hitched to the plow and
the fugitive passed, by the time the mule was
taken from the field much time would be lost,
not only in pursuing the fugitive, but in get
ting in the crop. However, we reluctantly,
albeit enthusiastically, became an avowed
champion of the mule. But wc noticed that
Judge Rufe Clark went to Raleigh and lobbied
for the bloodhound, and Dr. Johnson never
showed his face before that august assembly,
nor did he lift his voice in favor of the or
phaned ntule. And now Judge Clark hands
this to us:
It is related that bloodhounds were re
cently called into action to chase chicken
thieves at Spencer, and the hcands
"tracked the thief some distance, but
lost the scent in a negro neighborhood,"
says the veracious chronicler who sends
this information to the public prints. The
inference as that there was such a confu
sion of scents when the "negro neighbor-
hood" was reached that the noble blood
hounds were unable to distinguish the
particular scent they had followed from
. . - . .!! T - " 1
tne cisiuroea cnicKcn coop, u is suomu
ted to Colonel Fairbrother of the Greens
boro Record that in a case of this sort it
should be permissible to call on Dr. John
son to fetch his mules to the relief of the
bloodhounds.
A pretty time, after the prisoner had es
caped, gotten mixed up with the trenchant
stenches which walk on stilts in the negro
neighborhoods; after he was lost in the laby
rinth of variegated and assorted stenches
which disport themselves in such sections;
after he had hidden behind a mountain of
stench which there rears Its steaming head,
Judge Clark calls on us to go and hitch up the
mule and send Dr. Johnson after the escaping
fugitive. Not on your life. The mule will not
play second fiddle to the bloodhound. The
bloodhound must retire fforh the field he
must sidestep, and if he does we will harness
the mule and start in pursuit. -

MRS. C ATT ASKS
WOMEN TO FARM
Mrs. Catt, at the head of the suffrage assp-.
ctation of America, is again showing the coun
try that women are competent, capable - and -progressive.
She has called for two million of"
the suffrage women to get ready and com
mence this spring to raise foodstuffs to - don
some kind of clothing, adapted to the field and
garden and get busy. Xnd the women arergor.
ing to respond. Millions of vacant plots of
"ground will be plowed or dug up witha spade;,
and on those plots will be seen all kinds of ;
vegetables not roses and jonquils and daisies
and buttercups, but snaps and radishes and;
onions and beans a?d potatoes, the things
necessary to sustain life. . v;,
If the war comes and we are short on food
suppiles, these two million women who will:
respond to the call will make it possible to
take up the shortage. This is a practical illus
tration, of what women can do and will dp.
But why illustrate?
. -;'
Every living man knows that the women of
America have been at once its guardian and
its mainstay. : A . world without woman, and'
it would be a world of disorder and discon-I
tent. Woman has ever been man's managing :
editor, and in all the dark things and , the '
bright things of. a man's life a woman has
been at Jhe bottom of it. And when these in
telligent citizens more conservative and more
honest in politics than man can be ask for
the right to vote, to protect their property; to
say where the money they pay tor taxes on
their property shall go, man says they haven't
enough sense. When they ask that they may?
have a voice in making laws to protect their ,
sons and daughters in making laws that will":
at least give them a fair chance the men-;
rush in and fear the "nigger .women" might ,
get control, and what a terrible thing it would .
be. But"happily the majority is in favor of the"
women. It will be some time, perhaps, before"
'atfTXprfcslsroriT but it-wili;:befe
oUtained, and, as Mr. Bryan has pointed our.
woman sunrage is one oi ine leaumg ques
tions before the country today. And leading
questions are soon settled, and settled satis
factorily to those who demand equal rights.
We congratulate Mrs. Catt on her call;we
hope the two million women will respond and
that unsightly vacant plots will soon be
plowed and made to blossom, not as the rose,
but as the snap bean and the red onion.
