Our American Postal System.

Some interesting statistics have
recently been given showing the
wonderful decree of efficiency
which has been attained by the
UEted States postal system.
During the past fiscal year not
less than 5000, ,OOo, 900 pieces OF
postal matter were handled by the
government. Yet the number of
complaints fled in Washington, D.
e., on account of the non-receipt OF
letters was comparatively small.
So far as the records show only
81, 306 letters and only II, ,949 pack
ages failed TO be delivered. Con-
sidering the tremendous bulk of
the business carried on in the pos
tai service, there is very little in
reference with the mails and the
risk is reduced to almost nothing.
So thorough is the system that
whenever letters are not delivered
it is because of illegal penmanship
on the part of the writer or else on
account of train robberies and acci-
dents.

In this state has been called upon
- explain certain discrepancies in
eUnpection with the state school
funds and the interest tax fund.
The demand for this explanation
il based upon certain contradictions
which appear in the Official state
ments of the fiscal officers, the adj
missions of those who have filled
these Offices that these funds have
heen tn some extent divertad from
the purpose for which they could
only be constitutionaAy used, and
the fact that whenever an effort was

eAOss 20 ssJS " sNsVsSS 0ssSs NV kNO
posed amendment shows what the
party in power wnuts them To dc
to cover mp the Democratic vioIa-
ton of the existing constitution.
Voters are asked to add a new sec-
ton to article 10 of the present
constitution. Why2 Because
Denocratic administrations have
misappiied the school fasd, taking
its entire cash value to pay state
debes with which the schools have
no coaseetion, and thereby violat-
ed article II, section 9, of the
present consttation, which directs
that The sebool fund ''shall be in
vested n the bonds of the state of
Missouri or of the United States"
Since the school fund is in t'certi6-
sates Of indebtedness" which are
1owhere mentioned or recognized
u the constitution, and since the
fund is invested in neither state
bonds n'r government bonds, the
Democratic party comes forward
with this amendment asking voters
to defne the status of these certifi-
cstes and to remedy a violation of
the constitution by state officials
and the legislature themselves.
Further along in the first SER
tence oftbe above proposed amend
asent its purpose is additionally
stated to be to ''extend and per petu-
ate, the school fund, and ito pro-
vide for the payment of the interest
thereon" So it is admitted by
the Democratic officials and legis-
htRe of Missouri that the status
Of the schoolfund needs definition;
that the funds needs perpetuatiou,
and that it needs provision for tho
FUTURE payment of interest. Now
if the school fund were in govern
mcut bonds, rs under Republican
administrations, its status would
not need defining, it would perpet-
aate itself, and the interest would
be collected from the treasury at
Washington. If the funds were
in state bonds its status would be
its perpetuation simple
and the future payment of interest
secure. Either government bonds
Or state bonds would be constitu-
tional; either would represent cash
value, negotiable anywhere. The
nondescripts, unconstitutional cer-
ti6cstes of Indebtedness have no
cash value. Nobody would give
Dne cent for them, and one reason
is that their status is totally irreg-
nlar.
Voters will not fail to note the
highly significant admissions in the
sentence of the proposed
What voters are ask
ed to do to cover up the misappli-
cation of the school fund and vio-
latioB of the constitution is equally
extraordinary; but there is plenty
Of time to discuss the various
points of the proposition to unload

WANT TO CHANGE INAUGURATION
DAY.
+, Systematic agitation in favor of
changing the time for the inaug-
uration of the President has been
started in Washington on account
of the disagreeable weather which
almost invariably attends the
inaugural ceremonies on March
4th. We believe this is a good
move, for it must have a dampen-
ing influence upon the enthusiasm
of the admiring hosts who attend
the Inauguration of the President
to stand in the rain and hear the
President deliver bis address from
under an umbrella. The idea is to
advance the date to April 4th.

that dog meat Is cure for consump-

into mammoth kennel from which
he supplies his patients with his Pc

meat should be more efiicacious in

planned. While the idea that there
is virtue in dog flesh as a remedy for
