Mr.. Roosevelt undertakes to make few

species OF ignorance; it is inexperienced
with other than the mans own com

communities do OF all men. an igno

There is no starting point, no common

The teacher and the would be
scholar, hence Mr. Roosevelt can
not effect much against provincialism
because the provincial whom he proposes
to teach does not see, and cannot see, any
thing better than he has experience
de does not believe there is anything
better. He is satisfied with what lac has,
aud believes It is the best that can be
had He will never learn any better ex

overcome the snobblsbness Is easier and
more practicable, The snob is traotable

IT is as erted that the salaries OF post
Office clerks are unequal and unfair that
clerks in 1ne city, doing a superior kind
of work, receive less than clerks In other
cities who may be doing an inferior sort
Of work he system Of regulating sala
riss Is so defective that clerks in the same
Office, doing the same work, receive differ.
ent salaries. Sometimes the difference is
80 great That one clerk, doing the same
work, IN ne same Office, receives twice as
much as another clerk. II is to correct
these inc Qualities and to improve the
service, that the House bill, No. SO, has
been introduced iuto Congress. There Is
a provision, also, for increasing the sals
ries Of ali clerks at the rate Of $40 8
year tin 200 is reached. These provis-
ions seem sensible and necessary. L
they would improve the postal service
as they undoubtedly would. then the bill
should pass Il is to the interest OF th,
