twenty miles varying from these sums
salaries were of a sufficient induce
ment for 10000 applicants to be made
I'm 1902. Many of them were farmers
and aged men, a small portion being
residents of towns. The service is
not only difficult but includes some
hardships especially in the sparsely set
tied and mountainous districts. Many
of the carriers exhibit great deal of
pride in being able to serve the Gov
eminent. Many of them try to excel in
the appearance of their vehicles and
i'm making the best record over their
respective routes. BY the adoption
of this system, the farmers feel that
they are members of society and their
welfare Is being considered by the
Government to whom they pay ellegi-
ance. To say the least the thought
is uplifting and encouraging to all
who are benefited by the system. 1t
tends to make one more satisfied with
his lot, though it be far away from
centers of activity. The change thus
being brought about may have tend
ency to overcome the prejudice of a
country life, which already exists to
some degree among the younger gen
Grafton. Should it overcome some of
the existing discomfort, the establish
ment of the rural free delivery will be
well worth the expense to maintain it.
The present indications are that the
system will be self sustaining. Fur
thcr the post Office department feel
warranted in asserting that it is pos
sible to give every rural citizen of the
United States the daily service of a
carrier except in some localities where
physical conditions render it impossi-
bic. Truly can it be said that we are
living under broad, generous, bene-
VIOLENT government.

Trains of Starving Cattle.

The long-continued drought in some of

Farmers In the north having offered

whole trains have been devoted to the

Reed SmoOt Can Do no Harm.

Bishop Leonard Of the Episcopal
church Is disposed to take a moderate
and conservative view of the election
of Reed Smoot as United States Sena-
tor. In the first place, the Bishop
says he does not believe in such wea-
pons as vituperation or violent host
ility or exaggerated statements as to
the opinions and practices of those
with whom we happen not to be in
religious and political accord.
at is my conviction" said the
Bishop, that much more harm than
good is done by hasty and ill-consid-
cred attacks. 1t is the policy Of my
church, as it ought to be Of all Christ
ian people, to obey the apostolic in
junction, ST it be possible, as much
as lieth in you, live peacefully with all
men," Now you and may have our
own opinion as to the expediency of
sending Mr.. Smoot to the Senate.
We might think it would have been
better If, under all the circumstances,
he had not been elected, and that
without casting any reflection upon
his character as law-abiding citizen.
But the fact remains that he has
been so elected in conformity with the
forms of law. When he goes to WASH
ington and presents his credentials,
would it not on the whole be better
to allow him to take his seat?
"Having been duly elected, my idea
is that he should be properly impress
ed with the responsibilities of his posi-
tion, and taught to realize that not
merely in name but in fact it is his
duty to represent the people of Utah
without religious or partisan distinc-
tion. He would not be in place
where he could do much harm even IL
he so desired, and If 1t should seem
advisable it would be an easy matter
for the Senate of the United States to
adopt measure disQualifying as
future Senators all persons holding
high ecclesiastical positions.
"This," added the Bishop, smiling,
would result in barring us all out,
but II would possess the merit Of be-
ing both dignitied and effective" ~

SELF Every year the bishop dons a
rough suit of clothes and starts on an
expedition out somewhere in some re-
mote region away from the beaten

200 miles in the mountains of Vir-

all on foot. He travels incognito, STOP

Rural Free Delivery,

The fact that at the present time
farmers that live in territory repre-
senting 100000 square miles of the
United States have the mail delivered
and collected by government carriers,
indicates the development of the
Rural Free Delivery system. When it
is remembered that this area COM
priseS nearly One-third of the present
territory of the country devoted to
agriculture. This service in small
way began in 1896. The permanent
organization was not effected until
July /, 1902. Since the date of the
system the force of mail carriers has
been increased until there is now a
force of 1900 men, who daily travel
about 100000 miles of land for the
benefit of 7.OOO,OOO of people. Some
counties entirely depend upon this
system for their mail service. About
1900 small post Offices have been dis
continued, whose salary list amount
ed to 100000 Annually. In the
selection of men to cover the various
routes, the law provides that only
persons who have lived at least one
year within the district covered are
eligible to Office. They must pass an
examination which tests their ability
toread and write, and their knowledge
of mathematics. They must also pro-
vide themselves with a suitable yehi-
Gle drawn by one or two horses as be-
comes necessary. a salary of 5000 a
