Rural Mail Delivery.

The conclusion of the First Assistant
Postmaster General that the rural mail
delivery system must be permanent
and expanding feature of the postal
administration will meet with general
approval. The development of the
system, says the Kansas City Star, has
been SO phenomenal as to prove its me-
cessity. Begun as an experiment four
$50, it has grown until it uses thirty
five times that sum. The service only
awaits Congressional action to be ex-
tended to all parts of the United States
The cost. the postal authorities believe,
would not be excessive.
Under the old system the residents
of isolated farm houses have been COM
pelled to go for their mail to the near
est village postoffice, usually five or six
miles away. During the busy season
the trip takes 50 much time that it can
be made only infrequently. While the
roads are bad the farmers are practi-
cally cat off from tae outside world for
weeks at time. They can reach the
postoffice oaly at long intervals. This
leads to lax correspondence and tends
to the enlargement of old time friends
The daily newspapers, which might do
much to break the monotony of farm
life and keep the people in touch with
the world, is inaccessible except in re.
gions where the newspaper itself hires
its own carriers.
Rural free delivery introduces a new
interest to country life. The possibil-
ity of having mail delivered at his gate
every day is a strong inducement for
the farmer to subscribe to the daily
newspaper. In following the worlds
happenings from day to day ne takes a
fresh concern in what is going on. His
family is no longer cut off from the
world. 1t becomes part of the life of
the State and the nation. Correspond
ence with friends is stimulated The
farmer knows that his letters are car
ried to town every day, and if he has
no stamps he need only to deposite the
money in the box. The carrier is re-
ally travelling postoffice, and brings
the facilities for money orders and reg
istered letterst to every house.
1t may be added that in many COM
munities where free delivery has been
established land has advanced in value
as result; that an incentive for good
has been introduced, and that farmers,
in closer touch with market, have been
able to get better prices for their pro
duce. The chief and indisputable ben
eft from the system which will appeal
to all the country is that it helps to
ease the heavy burden of loneliness
and isolation which Weighs upon the
country dweller.

Look Out For Him.

A vender of gro oeries is now making
his way about the city soliciting orders
for goods of all kinds in the grocery
line. This is not the first appearance
OF this fellow and his like and they
should be given to understand that
Warren is not a town where the people
are to be so easily and quietly done.
He proposes to sell better goods at low
er price than the Warren merchants
and has taken a number of orders.
Persons who are so gullible and easy as
to buy from these fellows should silent
ly fold their tents and sneak away in
the darkness as they will never make
good citizens. Patronize the home
dealer, no matter what line it is, and
the town will prosper. These travelling
fakirs as rule sell inferior goods, pay
no taxes and are but leeches on the
community. Home trade when applied
to the stores of Warren is an excellent
thing Warren Democrat.

The Russians.

An Englishman in Russia says that
I'VE may dislike Russia as we will and
perhaps must, but there is no denying
that the men and women of Russia are
good lockers" The men are tall and
well built" The "women, especially
those of the upper classes. have grace
and fascination that is all their own"
The writer adds: II am tired of hear
Ing English people say that this is all
show and that If knew them better
should be greatly disappointed. Be-
hind good looks and refined manners
have found the depth and sincerity of
the Scotch combined with the wit and
humor of the Irish"
