RURAL FREE DELIVERY PROTECTED

In the House of Represents,
tives this week the proposition
to place the rural free delivery
of mail under the contract sys.
tenn was defeated by a vote OF
about two to one. This defeat
was expected and deserved. The
pay of the carriers is now$500 and
is very low when consideration
is given to the expense of keep
ing a horse and wagon and the
work of travelling from twenty
to twenty-five miles per day.
To reduce this compensation and
award the contract to the lowest
bidder would but result in a lower
efficiency in the service.
The question of cost is of
course important, but the ques-
ton of income is equally SO. The
confidence of the people along
the routes in intelligent and re-
sponsible carriers must result in
a larger income than will follow
o lot of picked up messengers
under the contract system. The
cost at present of the rural free
delivery is not much greater than
the cost of city free delivery. It
costs between sixty and seventy
cents each year to serve mail to
every inhabitant of the city,
while the cost in the country is
about ninety cents.
The most serious argument
made for the contract system
was the fear of the political effect
that might result from the or
ganization of the rural carriers,
and this was completely met By
the record which shows that no
such danger had resulted from
the association of city carriers.
If these who are SO close togeth
er have never done harm, how
can the rural men miles apart
have a harmful organization?

VOW RuYTNa

The Every Evening confesses 20
great surprise at the following
extract from an editorial in last
weeks DoUey Ifader:
ote-buying in Delaware, for
the last eight or ten years, has
been one of the main issues
which has characterized the eff
forts OF both the principal poll
tical parties in this State. 1t is
notorious fact that the Repub-
lican party has bought votes. 1t
is equally notorious that the Dem
ocratic party has bought votes.
Both have been guilty of the Of
fense and the only remaining ele-
ment in the question to be con-
sidered is that of degree.
Common sense should teach
every one that in order for this
iniquitious practice to thrive as it
does in the two lower counties
and apparently as openly as any
other business, that both parties
must do it and thus be precluded
from prosecuting their oppo-
nents.
But vote buying is not and has
not been confined to the Kent
and Sussex Counties, as is eyi-
denced by the news columns of
Eoeg-y Eve1ai'ag in every campaign.
AS a matter of fact the Demo-
Gratis have used money in nearly
every primary election held in
recent years. If not, why their
heavy assessmentson candidates.
The Republicans have assessed
their candidates but not more
than ten per cent of the amounts
levied by the Democrats. In
nearly every district in this
county there are some floating
voters, and they do not attempt
any concealment Of the fact that
they are paid. Then again many
efforts have been made to cor
rupt the colored vote, but so far
without success. Only sixteen
months ago, the papers were full
of the attempt made by a promi-
nent county official to purchase
the votes of certain colored men.
The great trouble is and has been
that there has been no honest
effort to convict persons guilty
of this offense. In every case
brought by the former Attorney
General there were plain evil
dences of persecution. Let the
present Attorney-General have
two cases, one a Democrat and
the other Republican brought |
before him, and if the proper evi-
dence is forthcoming conviction
will be had.

Concerning the cost Of living the fol-

| "The statisticians report that COM
| modities In general use cost, on an
| average, about 10 per cent more than
| they did a year ago. The rise In the
price OF meat contributes a great deal
| to this advance, though breadstuffs
have been high, too. Articles OF lux
ury like good clothes and country
houses have grown dearer In propor-
ton than most articles Of necessity,
because the huge influx OF money that
the country has sustained has made a
brisk market for Injuries. Rents are
higher houses cost more; servants get
higher wages. board Is higher at sum
mer hotels. Another thing that counts
for great deal Is that In prosperous
times like these the incomes Of very
many people are increased and their cx-

The observation that II is easier 10
economlze. when II Is the fashion, win
be admitted TO be but too true. When-
ever times are what is called "hatd,"
there Is a general demand for retrench-
ment and II Is comparatively easy then
TO do without great number OF luz
urles which have become almost neces.
stiles In good times the spirit OF re-
trenchment IL not In evidence, and the
consequence is that many find It about
as difficult to make both ends meet
when times are good as when they are
bad While there Is plenty, the time Is
10 save and to retrench. The policy
of Joseph In Egypt is not too generally
followed. Prodigality Is as wrong
when the harvest Is good as when It is
scarce.
