Municipal election enthusiasm

did wax interesting anywhere out
side of San Antonio. This city can
always be depended to stir up more
hornets on her solitary February
elections than the combined sister.
hood Of the state outside of her can
set to buzzing in their April con-
tests. There is great deal of the
business end ola wasp about San
Antonio elections at any time, and
this year her municipal contest

Thurston, of Hawaii, knows

that OF his position in quietly

is peculiarly unfortunate that the

personal feelings. 1t is idle how
ever to expect more from him than
in he endowment OF his mind he
has been fitted to give out.

The postal authorities at Wash
ington, under this Democratic sad-
ADMINISTRATION, seem to exhaust their
official ingenuity in thwarting the
regulations of this office for the
speedy distribution of mail. By
cutting out the service rendered by
the city carriers in distributing
mail, ordering them out OF the
office within ten minutes OF their
arrival, with the mail for their
routes only partially assorted, the
distribution of mail is retarded
hours. and in those sections OF the
city in which free delivery is only
made once day the delay is an
entire day. This condition was
prevented under the old order Of
the local office, by which the time
Of the route carriers was utilized
in the morning until the mail was
distributed. Unless the force OF
mail distributors in this office is
doubled there will be righteous in
dignation and general discomfort,
so long as the present order re-
mains in force. Perhaps Postmas-
ter Wilson will be more amenda-
BILE to reason and take into account
the situations, as presented by the
/ local postal authorities, and not at
tempt like his predecessor to make
a square plug fit into a circular
orifice. Wisdom is not justified
