THE PASSING OF DoBsoN.

Iowa City Republican,: There is no
lodging the fact that the possibility
that q. l.. Dobson Will not insist on
being acanddate for third term as
secretary of state is causing a sigh of.
relief TO arise from the ranks of the re-
publican party Of Iowa. He might Sc
cure the nomination but so far as cleo
ton goes his name when written on the
book of fate with the other republican
candidates would have question mark

have left bad taste in the mouth of
the public.

Muscatine Journal: The sensation of
the past week at Des Moines was the
published statement that Secretary
Dobson had Withdrawn his candidacy

fesses 10 have Information that his
withdrawal was enforced and that he is

THE POSTAL SERVICE.

The presence of the gentlemen who
write P. M.-not NJ P.-after their
names makes it pertinent 10 inquire
how ancient and honorable IS the guild
or great department which they repre-
sent int this latter day. when nearly To-
900 of them serve Uncte sam.
According to the records the first es-
taneive postal service was that estab-
lished in the Roman empire. 1T was
developed in connection with the sSs-
tenn Of Roman roads and was primarily
intended To- subserve military and adj
ministrat ton purposes. The citizen was
not then considered and served as the
real unit, as now. This Roman system
amounted to nothing more than a fully
equipped set of relay stations FOR the
rapid forwarding of official corresponds
ence and not for use of the general
public. The postal systems which
sprang up in the middle ages were not
centralized but in the hands of local
organizations, such as commercial
cities, universities or orders of Knights.
1t took centuries to develop the postal
system. "A long time elapsed after the
i governments took control of the postal
service before they made it efficient.
The usefulness of the English postoffice
dates from the year 17S4, when reform
measures were introduced by Palmer,
the postmaster general, with the warm
support of Pitt. Previous to his time
the mail conveyance had been infre-
sQuent, slow, irregular and utterly I'M
safe, features in striking contrast with
latter day service. In eight years of his
tenure Of Office Palmer had doubled the
frequency and speed Of conveyance
and secured a reasonable degree Of
regularity and safety. chiefly by the
substitution Of coaches for single rid
ers as means Of carriage. But tho the
service was. much improved, the rates
continued exorbitant, SO much so that
vast deal of letter conveyance was
done in defiance Of government rights.
IN the years 1s3o-35 the pressure in
fassr OF lower rates began to make it
sSelf felt; and the movement in this d.
.gsett0n was ably headed by Rowland
whose work on Postal Reform,

the rebuke those mothers gave 1t. His
statement that wifehood was an ideal
ambition for all young women was ac-
tcepted by his audience but his remarks
regarding the custom OF fitting girls for
the matrimonial market were extrava-
giant and might be misconstrued to
mean that wifehood was the only laud-
able ambition for woman. The profess
sor, being a man, made a mistake when
he presumed to express an opinion on
the subject of childhood and mother
hood study and he followed With a
series of mistakes. He should congrat-
ulate himself that he got off alive.
