Brown County World from Hiawatha, Kansas • Page 23

September 11, 1903 THE BROWN COUNTY WORLD 23 alone he has done the best he could. And if there had been a change he might not bave selected anyone more to your liking, for grumblers are soon tired of postmasters, and God knows the postmasters get just as tired of the grumblers. If we were a some day we shall be a candidate for congress- we should work to have all postmasters appointed under civil service rules. The appointments and service would then be impersonal and final on the the merit system, the applicant passing the best examination being chosen. Just now the average politician either wants the postoffice, or else wants to knock some one out of it, and to do that, he is willing to do his best to defeat a congressman--no difference how worthy- fails to obey his orders.

Now no man can say that Curtis is not a good congressman. He is one of twenty leading congressmen in the United States. He is young and active. There is no sense in opposing him now. If there was any reason for opposition to him Cy Leland's candidates wouldn't be the only candidates in the field.

Their candidacy is simply to aid a conspiracy for revenge on the part of Leland, to give him more power. The people should sit down on that scheme -sit down on it hard. When the Republican party votes for a policy of revenge a new and better party will be made of those who don't stand for that sort of a thing. When Curtis declines re-election, when he out lives his usefulness, or gives way to others as the best of men in public service mustinevitably do, it will be all right to encourage meritorious candidates and at such a time any candidate not barred by constitutional restrictions is certain to have a consistent following. But if Curtis should be beaten, a seeming impossibility, his successor, under present circumstances, would hardly get his seat warm until he would bave opposition.

So it is better to follow Abe -Lincoln's advice and never swap horses while crossing a stream. In Curtis the district has a good man in congress. Until there is more reason in opposhim than the mere fact that Cy Leland wants him defeated, why, better keep him where he is.

Have you been -or do you know anyone who has -in a living hell of torture with a skin disease? Dispair usually seizes those so afflicted.

Many imagine it is in the blood and too subtle to cure. Doctors have stood baffled and helpless against Eczema. Half of them think its worse forms are blood poison.
