From The Detroit Free Press.
IN there called a somewhat excited Fourth
ave. woman 10 the postman who was passing on
his morning round. where's that letter | sent
three weeks ago my sister In Buffalo? She
never got II, and has written to know whether
I'm mad at her some OF us sick"
Il don't know nothing about II. madam.
cot course you don't. ! suppose the Postmaster
General would say the same thing. My own pri-
waite opinion Is that this Government is running at
mighty loose ends. | put n stamp on that letter
10 pay for having II sent. 1t was directed plain
as print. II Is lost stolen and my sister Is
blaming me for negecting her It's ali politics
that's what Il Is. putting In lot Of raw hands
every four years, and don't propose to stand It,
I'm going to find whether you mail can
defraud your customers and make family trouble
just because you don't know enough TO look after
your business"
"Bu, never saw your letter. my good woman
81 don't care anything about that. Neither did
my sister ever zee it. I'll not sleep I'LL I write tho
President and give him piece OF my mind. The
idea OF paying an army Of men to lose letters. It's
ridiculous II won't be long before some Of you are
looking for other Jobs. or miss my guess
During this conversation the womans husband
dove frantcally into his pockets. hatlcss
through the back gate, put that letter into mail
box. and made fine show OF temper while helping
his wife abuse the Government
