It is reported that the Repubfi-
can State Committee will maintain
its headquarters in St. Louis con-
tinuously, with the chairman and
secretary on permanent salary.
As we regard it, this is a useless
procedure and a needless expense.
Tho Democrats close up their state
headquarters as soon as a campaign
is over. They save their funds un-
til the proper time and then put
the money where it will do the
most good, and the state is carried
by them with a regularity that is
convincing of fine work and judi
oious use of Doodle. While we do
not advocate the use of money to
influence elections, it seems to US
that Missouri will never be Repub-
lican until we begin to fight the
devil with his own weapons.

Rural Free Delivery.

In his annual report Postmaster
General Smith makes an argument
in favor of rural free delivery
which, if adopted, would give to
one third of the American people
the postal facilities enjoyed in the
more denseIy populated sections
Of Europe. Already two-6fths of
the population of the United States:
or 1000, 900 persons, residing in
in cities and towns, have the bene-
fit Of free delivery. Next comes a
rural population of 100000,
who live in an area of 1000, 900
square miles, an average of twenty
one persons to the square mile. 1t
is to this class that the Postmaster
General would extend free delivery,
and he estimates the cost at $780,
555, 800 a year, the average cost
of about 81 a head having been as
certained by various methods of in
vestigatlons. To meet this cost
it is estimated that IS, 6,773,376
would come from post Offices dis
continued and from increased re-
ceipts, and the remainder, over
$13, 900, 900, could be obtained by
reforming the pound rates that
cause heavy annual loss without
and public equivalent.
The plan proposed would insure
free delivery to 50, 100000 of the
100000 inhabitants of the
United States. As the more thinly
settled sections filed up the system
could be correspondingly extended
Nearly all of New England would
be covered now, about 80 per cent
in Pennsylvania, so per cent of
Illinois, IS per cent in Missouri
and IS per cent in Kansas. General
delivery throughout the whole of
England is an old story and an in
dspensable part of business and
social life. Postmaster General
Smith wants to make comprehen-
sive start in rural free delivery in
this country and to meet the cost
mainly by reform Of certain
rates that Congress should have
instituted before this. The sub
ject of rural free delivery deserves
the careful consideration of all con
cerned.-Globe- Democrat.

It appears to us that there is a
decided inequality in the road poll
tax system in this state. For in
stance the man who does most of
his travelling on foot and chooses
his rout through the woods is re-
quired to do as much service on
the roads the man who has a
number of teams continually OH the
roads. AS the former is largely
in the majority he feels the injus-
tice of this tax, and any attempt
of the county judges to raise the
levy to more than two days is
so much as saying that they are
ready to be retired to private life.
We believe a graduated. poll tax
would give better results. This
might bc shaped SO that eaah citi-
zen would he assessed two days
service, as now, and then an addi
tional levy made upon the more
frequent users of the roads, accord
ing to tho number of vehicles
owned. Corporations and non-res-
idents to he assessed according to
number of wagons they may have
engaged in traffic or the highways.
Such plan as we have suggested
would throw the main burden of
keeping up the roads upon the
actual users thereof.
