EXTENSION OF FREE DELIVERY.

Since the report Of Postmaster. General
Smith has been made public. in which he es.
Inmates that with an increased expenditure of
Sr2 ,ooo, 900 annually in his department. a
daily free delivery Of mail for the entire coun.
try might he accomplished, the feasibility Of
his dream has been rather generally discussed.
He aHirms that a daily mail to each home
would increase the amount Of business and
thus in a measure contribute toward paying
for itself.
That free delivery is a great convenience in
conges,ed centers Of population and even In
towns, the benefits Of which far exceed the
cost, is generally conceded. But the rural
delivery OF mail has also passed the expert.
mental pcint. having met with such favor in
those places where tried, that its abandonment
would meet with vigorous protest. This gra.
tuitous CONVENE ace now being regarded MS a
right, the step taken can hardly Ike retraced:
and as one community is favored above an.
other at present. the outlook is towards an in.
creasing rural delivery service.
Every Postmaster General Of recent years
has advocated legislation which would destroy
certain abuses Of the mail service, in which
the government is a heavy loser. Under the
present laws the government is carrying adj
v~ertising journals. rated as second class matter,
upon which the deficit is annually over sIo,-
ooo, 900. These periodicals have no real sub
scrip,ion price and the only purpose they serve
Is as advertising mediums. Yet every law
which has been framed to make them pay the
cost Of their handling has been defeated
through a misapprehension Of the country
editor, who is made to believe such an enact.
ment will raise his own postage rates. His
cry OF alarm falls upon the ear Of his repres.
~enta,ive in congress and the bill fails Of pass.
age as a result.
Surely when the country publisher realizes
that he has been duped. and that with the ex.
penditure of that amount upon rural delivery,
which it costs the government to support
these grating advertising concerns, rural
free delivery might be realized throughout
the country. he will not be slow in advocating
legislation that will eradicate these abuses.
The Marshall republican., 1900-12-21

make j, appear that the highest court Of the
land sanctions the law-which permits elec.
ton frauds. The court simply held that the
election laws were not within the jurisdiction
Of Federal courts. No election law which di.

or just and specific argument is unnecessary
