from one day 10 two each way, making
a difference OF two days in answering a
letter, without consulting the Depart
ment or the people here. The petition
was written and circulated by a repre-

merchants and by almost everybody
asked to do So and after the petition
was forwarded to Washington some 80
people who had not heard OF it in time
called to sign It. There was no smart
