I Are With the Congressman
Since the introduction of Con- ally compel n president to con
gressman Nor ris civil service ex- suit to a large extent the
tension solution iit has been dis wnfBd wishes of seniors in
making nominations wlucli the
covered that President laft and
spnate mugt approvc To toke
Postmaster general llitciicocic postmasters from exempt class
are holih in favor of and -have and give them indefinite terms
advocated this same course The
Nev York Tribune discusses the
case in language below
11 l Il Id f UVWIKt
Paft has gone much further than
any other president in urging
congress to take the pestoffice
imt of politics In- establishing a
tenure based on competency and
under the protection of the merit
system would strip the senate of
a perquisite- which it especially
pnizes No federal office holder
Norris of Nebraska a leading I is in a better position to do party
Avestern insurgent thinks that he
is making capital against Presi
dent Taft by introducing a bill
to put all postmisteis and postal
employes under the aegis of the
civil service regulations he is
Avork tnan tlie postmaster ot a
town or city witli his facilities
for reaching and influencing vot
ers The service was once a vast
political machine and has erased
to be so onlv because of the
Yesiouslv mistaken for President j steady pressure of public
ran ana increasing aisincuna
ticn of administrations to permit
posit masters to be active in poli
tics
President Tait believes that
good behavior The president licient and economical admmis
Avould be heartily glad to t ration is a far safer reliance
er his present poAver to nominate than patronage in seeking populai
postmasters for fixed terms but support and he Avould be delight
congress has turned a cold pd to free himself of the annoy
der to his suggestions because ana and drudgery involved in
representatives and senators hate continually filling vacancies in
to surrender the influence Avhich pest offices marshalships eollect
they noAV exert in the selection of orships and surveyorships merely
postmasters in their states or because the four year terms of
tricts the incumbents expire Instead
The right to confirm of resenting Mr Taft would Avel
tial appointees is one most come the passage of some such
ously guarded by the senate and measure is Mr Norris has intro
the traditions of politics dueed

considerable of a heroine among the
14000 women who teach in the schools
of New York She is president of the
Interborough Association of Women
Teachers and was a leading advocate
in the long struggle which resulted in
equal pay for teachers regardless of
sex
In New York as elsewhere in Amer
ican cities women predominate in the
teaching force but until lately what
men were employed received larger
salaries The women believed they
should receive the same remuneration
vn t Ofc II
M
aB men doing similar work and finally
they won out But the victory has not
been altogether without Its drawbacks
Heretofore because of the difference
in salaries demanded the tendency
has been to exclude the men in favor
of the women wherever possible
Now however the salaries being
equal the women find themselves dif
ferentiated against whenever men
teachers are procurable The number
of the latter however is limited and
not very many women find themselves
excluded from the better positions
j Out of the campaign for the passage
1 of the equl ry bill have grown many
charges of the corrupt use of money

and pioneer work in the western part
of that state He was elected to con-
