Tampering Wiz the MniIs.

PoStotfice inspectors say that curl
osity is a greater factor than cupidity
in leading people TO tamper with the
mails In other words, there are
Postmasters and postmistresses who
would not steal a cent, who neverthe-
less viii read letters for the sake Of
knowing what is going on. The de-
partment is doing what 1t can to stop
this sort OF thing, but it is rather
difficult to detect.
Reading other peoples letters is
generally considered to be about the
meanest and most contemplate piece
of dishonesty in the calendar; but Sc
queerly is human nature put together
that a great many people who cali
themselves honest do not have any
scrupIes in this connection. The con-
Stunning curiosity that affects u GER

But so far as tampering with the
mails is concerned. a stop should be

inspectors can do it
There ought to be a rule that any
person in charge of a postoffice, who
Is guilty Of betraying in any way Sc

the business, should be dismissed;

are so afraid of the bugbear of so

have any government than have one
that would take too much care of

down to its logical differences. But, on

so high since, the present improved and
cheaper methods Of production and dis

Miss Clara Hoffman, national secretary

Missouri State union, a St Louis lady. in
her address at the annual meeting of the
Illinois Equal Suffrage Association on Fri
day last, said that women are door mats
and dishwashers for men, and that if
they had more respect for themselves
they would be better educated and help
to run things on an equal footing with
men. The announcement greatly surprised
her audience, and well il might. Even if
women we're door mats a good word might
be said for them, as the door mat, though
lowly thing. is extremely useful.
