More For Postmaster

(Special Correapontleftce)
Washington, June 26.?More numerous
than candidates for game warden
in Kershaw county are applicant*
for the postmastervhip at ( amden, it
being indicated at the Civil Service
Commission that sixteen applications
have been filed. The papers, to be
handled in regular routine, will be
reached within two or three weeks
and ruted according to their respective
merits. Selection may bo made
of one of the three highest op the j
list, and the appointee will be commissioned
for four years. The indications
at present point with almost
certainty to the re-election of the
Democratic president now in office,
and it is not prcibable that a Democratic,
appointee would toe disturbed
after Tours, so the position naturally
may"too regarded as quite desirable,
especially after the several recent
lean years. If an appointment is
made .within the next few weeks the
one designated may not toe permanently
appointed prior to the submission
of the. name to the .Senate for
confirmation which will be when
Congress meets next January, unless
possibly called in extra session before
thut time. However, it is within
the province of the Post Office
Dopartment to make the appointment
of . an acting postmaster^ to serve
until a regular appointee can bo commissioned,
and thut practice was very
generally followed after the adjournment
of Congress last year.

There are only two applicants for
the post office at Wostville, where a
Vacancy has occurred because of the
death of the late postmaster. The
office there is of the fourth class,
and the appointee will serve indefinitely.
being within the protection of
the civil service regulations. An examination
has been held, and the appointment
will presumably be mado
shortly.

A Representative in Congress from
Missouri, John J. Cochran, is this
year running for the Senate, and one
of hi.s claims for consideration is his
proud boast that during his eight
years in the House he has participated
in every vote taken. His is
an unique record, probably not
equalled by any other member, and at
least if any one else can boast likewise
he is not making "his claim public
so far as the .press is Concerned.

During the recent past Republican
administrations were plagued to a
great extent by independent action in
Congress on the part of members
elected as belonging to their party.
Particularly was this true in the .Senate,
and two years ago a large contingent
of Republican progressives
bolted the nomination of Hoover, and
aided very materially in his undoing.
In the beginning of the present administration
the Democrats in ' ongre-.
went along without hesitation,
hut there began to ho developed particularly
among Senators a spirit of
oppo-ition. feeble as \ct, and it is
to be hoped that itfflvill remain so.
Senator Carter Glas^of Virginia is
the most notable example, he having
been opposed in general to Roosevelt's
financial and currency plans. Senntiii'

hern evincing a disposition to display
and pu.-h certain ideas of his own as
in opposition to the administration,

Don't look for those silk threads itv
your new paper money in the future.
Of course all you have now, to he
genuine, must have those decorations
?red and blue slivers of silk. These
silk threads have (been used in paper
bills for many years to make them
wear longer. But now the Treasury
Department has ordered the practice
stopped. The 'Secret Service complained
that it made the going all
the easier for counterfeiters. The
public had come to look upon the
threads, the sleuths claim, as a mark
of genuineness in paper money.
Without examining the bills for other
marks many a person has accepted
bogus money simply because the
counterfeiters wero clever enough to
put in the silk threads. But all future
issues of greenbacks will be
without these threads.
Incidentally, all the paper money
now in circulation is to be gradually
exchanged for a new kind of money.
Under the present currency system
Federal Reserved notes, the largest
single type of paper money, bear the
phrase "redeemable in gold on demand
at the United States Treasury,
or in gold or lawful money at any
Federal Reserve Bank" when we all
know very well the Treasury wouldn't
exchange gold for them. This is tho
main reason for undertaking to replace
the billion or so pieces of paper
currency outstanding. The total sum
outstanding from the Treasury and
Federal Reserve Banks is estimated
at approximately $4,800,000,000 while
the total amount of money in circulation
is arouhd $5,400,000,000. It will
likely take five ydvra to accomplish
the planned replacement of the present
money. And before the new
money is put into circulation several
billions of the present type currency
will be issued to replace that returned
from circulation through the
banks because of soiled or mutilated
condition making it unfit for further
use.
Thus Treasury officials point out
that no money now in circulation will
be recalled. The exchange will be
made gradually through the replacement
channel. Of course the "redeemable.
in gold" clause will be loft
off the new bills. The new money
will contain instead: "This note is
legal tender for all debts, public and
private, and is redeemable in lawful
money at the United Stales Trea-ury
or any Federal Reserve Rank." Silver
certificates will be issued in denominations
of $1, $5 anil $10, backed
by the new policy of the purchase of
all newly mined domestic silver.
National bank notes will continue
to be legal tender as will United
States notes, but the latter will not
be accepted for customs duties or in
payment of interest on the public
debt. Thus all paper money will be
placed on Somewhat of an equal basis
for the first time. Small denomination
bills are already being produced
in tho new type, (but the larger denominations
will not be started before
the end of the year, when the
dies for them are finally completed.
And all newly printed money is stored
in the Treasury for a time to "season"
before it is put into circulation.?The
Pathfinder.
gambling. fn the field of taxation
among legislative bodies the tendency
has been to "soak the rich," that is
to make the rich 'bear as heavy a
share of taxes as possible, but ,with
this in view a lottery would be a poor
method. The man of means does not
need to gamble, and as a rule does
not patronize a lottery. It is
the poor who would take chances,
and from whom would come the far
greater part of the cost of tickets.
After the adjournment of congress
political discussion and agitation here
>ubsided considerably, bpt there is
still a plenty going on. In the numerous
bureaus established during
the past year and among others still
in the beginning of organization
many changes occur, and there is a
constant stream of applicants looking
for assignment in some government
position, -soft and remunerative
if possible, but something in any
event.

"A distinguished physiologist." says
a writer In the Journal of the Indiana
State Medical association, "has told us
that he rarely or AiCver sleeps more
than two hours In a given night. He,
however, rests quietly In bed for ttv?
or six hours of the night because he
quietly and leisurely thinks about
pleasant things that have occurred and
are happening at the present time.
He does not permit himself to brood
over misfortunes or unpleasant situations.
"The lure pf an attractive 'nestling
thought' may enable one to pass hours

patient is not really asleep, but for all
Intents and purposes he Is so. Probably
his mind Is no more or possibly

Why Unhappiness Makes
Some People Truly 111
A possible physical explanation for
the fact that iquny people are made
111 by being vtplmppy, rather than unhappy
because they are 111, was suggested
In a recent address In London
by Dr. Lnngdon Brown, professor of
medicine at Cambridge university.
Says Dr. K. 10. Free, In bis Week's
Science (New York) :
"Like the majority of present-day
physicians, Doctor Brown admits that
he grew up In the purely materialistic
school of medical theory which Insists
that every disease must have a physical
cause. Experience has convinced
him that this Is not true. Purely mental
distress may make a patient Just
as truly ill ns a broken bone or a germ
infection. Many people who have such
mental Illnesses are unwilling to admit
this fact and manufacture for
themselves symptoms which really are
tlginents of the imagination hut which
spring from a desire to find a tangible
reason for being sick."?Literary Digest
Why "Bull" or "Bear" Market?
Although these expressions are generally
supposed to he American In origin.
research shows that both were
used in England before the revolution.
"Bulls" in market terminology are, of
course, those who operate to raise
prices, and drive up the market, while
bears are those who work to depress
prices, particularly through the device
of "selling short"?selling securities
they do not possess at a price lower
than the prevailing one so that they
may buy at the lower price In time for
delivery. We probably say "bear" because
of the old saying, "Selling the
skin before you have caught the bear,"
or trading something you do not possess.
The buyer Is referred to as a
"bull" perhaps for a euphonious distinction.
or In allusion to the "drive"
of a bull.
Why Wool H Wane
It Is the Insulating quality of wool
which makes It desirable as a protective
covering rather than any Inherent
power to generate heat. Wool fibers
In themselves offer little resistance to I
heat transmission. The "kinks" or
"waves" which are so distinctive a
characteristic of wool give it Its protective
qualities. These waves or
kinks, of which the fibers have fro.m
2 to .10 to Die Inch, give something
of the characteristics of a colled
spring, and when the fibers are
woven together tend to create a
resilient fabric with innumerable tiny
nlr pockets. It Is this finely divided
and trapped air to which wool fibers
owe their qualities of warmth.
Why Say "Go to Halifax*'
The weaving Industry of Halifax,
England, was carried on In the workers'
cottages In earlier days and the
"pieces" were spread out on the hillsides.
Theft became so common that
what was known as the Halifax law
came Into being. Under this law anyone
stealing cloth to the vulue of more
than 13 pence was liable to execution.
In those days, therefore, to tell a man
to "U.o to Halifax" was equivalent to
telling him to go where he stood a
good chance of being beheaded.
Why It I* "The Netherlands"
"The Netherlands" means the lowlands,
the under lands, the bottom
lands, tlie name referring, of course.
to the untry's peculiar typographical I
situation, considerable parts being he- I
low the sea level It is by a lucre con- j
\ . metr e of speech that the country Is |
"the lowlands" rather than "lowland."
The official name Is the Kingdom of
the Netherlands.
Why Say "Giving Short Shrift"
"Shrift" in this expression refers to
the act of shriving, the confession to
a priest, particularly of a penitent
and the consequent absolution. "Short
shrift" was originally the short time
allowed a criminal tor confession be
fore he was executed. Thence any
summary dealing or quick consideration.

Why "Braggadochio" for Braggart?

ships rescued most of the others.
A few lives were lost.
