excellent.

The Atlanta Constitution, n of
the most progressive and widely cir
culated papers in the United States
has the following strong article on
Representative Stokes work: We
are glad to observe that the matter
Rural Delivery has been taken up
very actively by Congressman Stokes,
of South Carolina, who has intro.
duced a measure in the House to
extend free delivery of mail along the
star routes. Under the provisions Of
the Stokes bill, any person desiring
his mail deposited along the line Of
any star route shall erect a box as
convenient to the roadside as prac.
ticable and file with the nearest post
master on each side Of the box a re-
quest in writing for the delivery of
his mail to the proper carrier for de-
post in the mail box.
The boxes along the star routes
are to be numbered consecutively be-
ginning from the initial point Of the
star route. With the view of ulti-
mately bringing the mail thus de-
posted under the protection of the
general postal laws until received by
the person to whom it is sent, or by
his agent, the postmaster general is
authorized to invite submission of
plans and devices for special boxes
and duplicate keys for the use Of the
carriers and addresses, respectively.
The Stokes bill provides that all
contracts for carrying mail on star
routes made after the passage of the
act, shall include the deposit in the
proper boxes placed along the line of
the routes for this purpose without
charge to the addresses, any mail
matter that may be entrusted to the
carriers for such distribution by any
postmaster on the route: and it is
made the duties of the carriers to
take up such mail matter as they
may find in the mail boxes, and de-
post the same for mailing at the
next post office on their route.
The bill also makes it the duty Of
each postmaster, on receipt Of a writ
ten order from any person living on
or near an established star route, to

Such il the mtasuye, st orce bHiet

livery. The Constitution hopes tne
bill will pass. II our readers in the
agricultural districts will write t.
their representatives in Congress and
urge them to support the measure
there will he small difficulty in urg
ing it's passage.
It is our boast that under our laws
all citizens are equal. YOU will hear
orators declaiming Of equality under
the law, and yet while people in the
country have to travel miles to the
nearest port Office to get their mail,
the postal authorities are engaged in
erecting a costly pneumatic system
in the city Of New Yolk in order to
save fifteen or twenty minutes in the
delivery of mail. 1t is true that 8
community in the nature OF things
will enjoy larger and more complete
postal facilities than a remote aid
scattered S, tslement, but We are
speaking now of equality under ii e
law and the rights Of individuals.
But this difference is most clearly
recognized in the demand for free
rural delivery. The people are not
asking for pneumatic tubes nor fol
any device that will place additional
burdens On the tax payers. The
Stokes bill simply calls for a system
Of cheap boxes to be affixed to trees
or posts along the post roads covered
by the star route system. These
carriers have 10 90 along these routes
anyhow, and it will hardly be an,
trouble for them to deposit mail and
take up that which they faa. Wber
the bill becomes a law star route
bidders will be put on notice by it,
terms of this addition to their duties
as contractors, and they will take
care of themselves in the matter OF
compensation.
The history Of every Increase OF
mail facilities in this country since
it's establishment shows that their
increased cost is invariably tffset by
increased revenue. This is the his
tory of the reduction of letter postage
from 3 to 2 cents. It was freely
predicted that it would result 10 al
enormous deficit; the result, however,
was an increase Of revenue. Wien
free city delivery was established tbt
same prediction was made, but the
revenue has steadily increased. 1t
was never intended, in the first place,
that our postal system should be q
money making business. It was
established for the benefit OF the PEG.
pie, and not to pay revenue into. th'
treasury. That it is selfsustaining
is very gratifying, but the people
would demand it and be compelled
to have it, even if it were not self,
sustaining.
