In view of the Way he has stuck to his post since he was appointed it must| have been With reluctance that the vros- ident sat in judgment on the decisicn of Postmaster General Burleson, to the cf- fect that the civil service retirement law compels .the postoffice employes .to cuit their jobs whether they desire o do o or not, and overruled it, if th: report to the effetc that he did is correc! According to the interpretation of the postmaster general the postal employes of the government must get i1'ougn when they reach the retirement age set forth in the new law, whether they have been in the service long enougn {o met a pension, Whether they want to sget through or whether they are fit and anxious to remain in the service and con- tinue their duties. Our postal service has not been such as to call for bouquets, except those thrown by the head at itself, and it is to- day doing business under a shortage of employes. This shoriage has for some time had its effect upon the service and vet the postmaster general undertakes to | have thrown out of work those who are probably the most’ experienced who are in every way fit to do their work, and who in many instances cannot afford to stop work upon a pension. That the president should override such decision seems only reasonable, how- ver much i may be resented by the de- ment head. It cannot be. believed \at legislation, however hurried and half baked some of it is, would under- take to hamper the government service in any such manner and do such an ap- parent injustice to the employe. There annarently need for a more careful consideration of the purpose of the law and i operation. p: - 4 COMPLETE THE JOB. the action of the railway labor in awarding the railroad men of the coun- try an a itional $600,000,000 in pay it means that the railroads must get that ncreased amount of revenue in order fo Just at the present time and near at hand when the 1l no longer be avail- for ad funds.

I'd rather you told me and got it over with!” “You are always so unfair to little Canna!’ complained his wife indig- nantly. “You make not the slightest allowance for her childish spirits, Hen- ry! 1 believe you would like it if she sat still in a chair twelve hours a day and slept the rest of th time!’ “It might save lots of trouble” agreed Canna’s other parent. “Well™ “I don't se¢ what any human being with sense would expect a child to do but just what Canna did,” pursued her fond mother. “Only it was too bad it had to be that Mrs. Haddock on the fourth floor she did it to! Canna was playing in the hall nicely, as I t0ld her to, because I wanted our flat quiet so that I could take a nap—and naturally when Mrs. Haddock came out and went downstairs to look for the mail she left her door ajar and Canna went in. “Anybody who wasn't old enough to know better would have gone in. I am sure. And what was Mrs. Haddock thinking of to leave her door open I can't imagine. Anyhow, when Canna went in she shut the door after her and bolted it. “When Mrs. Haddock came back she was amazed to find the door shut and ito hear the dog velping and so she pounded upon it and asked who was in there and Canna promptly said 'Me!’ [ am sure if Mrs. Haddock had asked her nicely to open the door Canna would have done so, although she does not care for Mrs. Haddock, whom she always calls ‘that fat lady. Anyhow, Canna shouted back that she woaldnt’ and then the dog began to yelp again. “ “What are you doing to Angelo, you little fiend? Mrs. Haddock cried. Mrs. Smith across the hall heard her plain- ly. Of course Canna refused to answer and Mrs. Haddock was wringing her hands. She couldn’t go downstairs and up the back stairs and get in because the kitchen door was bolted, too, so she came down and woke me up and LITTLE CANNA'S BUSY DAY insisted on dragging me up there in my blue kimono. She pointed out that it was no worse for me than it was for her, attired in a bathrobe and her hair not curled. She demanded that I make my child obey and would- n't listen when I explained that I never ordered Canna, put just reasoned with her. “ ‘Then give her a large togic,’ she snapped at me. “It is terribly embarrassing in the presence of a large crowd—everybody had come out of their own apartments by this time to find out theArouble—it is embarragsing to attempt reasoning with a child as nervous and shy as Canna. All she would say to me through the door was no—and each time she safd it the dog yelped, as though he were pinched or something, and Mrs. Haddock would have hys- terics. She said that if Canna injured Angelo fatally she would sue us and that there was an expensive box of candy just opened right there in the living room and if Canna ate it up she should expect me to pay for it. Then there was a crash inside and she jump- ed a foot. “She said that little demon had tip- ped over her new pottery lamp and that it cost $80 without the shade. She got terribly excited and tried to make out that it was all my fault. “Just then there was a perfectly dreadful crash and tinkling, and Mrs. Haddock fainted, after shrieking that this time it was her dining room cab- inet filled awith Venetian glass. I was nearly frantic to think poor Canna might be bleeding to death. The idea of peo- ple having things like that around and then leaving their doors open! Yes we got Canna out finally—the janitor got up on the roof and down the fire escape and through a window—and I think Henry, that if we want any ser- vice from him the rest of our lease it would be nice if you went right downstairs now and hand him $5. In fact, I promised him you would!” « “I suppose,” said Canna’s other par- ent, as he turned and tramped down- ward, “I oughta be thankful you didn’t promise Mrs. Haddock I'd walk upstairs and inquire the damage there! Honest why don’'t you make Canna behave “The very idea!" said his wife. “She’s a’ perfectly lovely child if peo- ple dont interfere with her and you know ijt!"—Chicago News. dose of LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fifty Years Ago.

Mr. Editor: Connecticut may well feel oud of the part played by her demo- o ghters at the national con- vention at San Fra co. No less than four Connecticut women served upon the floor of the convention as aliernates to regular delegaies. They took their plac- es in committee work, played their part} in pa conferences and exerted an in- fiuence of no small magnitude in the mul- titude of little and great decisions which a national convention must make. It is not saying too much to assert that the effeet of their work will be nation wide, ! These women were Mrs. v h of Columbia. Mrs. Fannie Dixon Hiram Per Maxim of Hartford, Mrs. ph Whiting of New London, and Mrs. Danfel Dunn of Willimantie. | In national conventions it has been the practice in the past to gain a de- sired end by Whatever means Were most convenient and effective. Tt mattered not whether. thev were ethical more or less Money. ‘aleoko! and political prefermesnt have heen made use of without hesitation. The presence of fine types of men has not No matter what v of many of the men delezates it has been the accepted thing to exvect them to close their eyes and “‘mind their own business.” When the Connecticut delezation was made up and it was decided as the poll- cv of the democratic party to accent Wo- men as fellow workers With men. the word went around that the methods of other days would not do, that “the la- dies” were to “zo along” this time and things must be on a level that wonld he appronriate to them. Since 1 was available even though prohibiti was force. this was voted as taboo. And with this it followed that language and thought that were standard in other days came in for modification. although no definite or specifice understanding was necessary to bring it about. Policies and methods unavoidablv became subject the same influence, for improvement s improvement just as deterioration ts deterioration. One member of the delegation. who had not heen him- self for a week nrevious to the departure for the Pacific coast did touch a drop after leaving Connecticut. After the start was made the cars of other delegations from varlous states were added to the train carrying the Connecticut delesation. In one it had been voted to take no women, because of the greater “freedom” it would permit the members. The first day saw consternation. The second day saw a marked improvement. The third day saw acquaintanceships spring up and these same men tell- ing Connecticut women what fine wo- men ther also had in their state and that woman's advent into nolitical affairs was a good thing, and not one single word had these Connecticut women mnt- tered in entreaty or defence. Tn the work of the convention the methods of other days which were ef- fective with fnen, could not be at- tempted with women. The men knew It without having to he told. To put a measure through successfullv where a woman is Involved, it must have or bhe made to appear to have, one thing, and one thing only. That is merit. Tt must be shown that it is for some one's good. and In addition. the methed of putting it across must alzo be ciear. and honorable. To those ¥ho were fortu- nate enough to see Connecticut's women on the firing line In the great democratie convention it is most obvious that they are entitled to the thanks and gratitude of the state for blazine a great and good trail over which other women will more 1y follow in the veare o come.
