No More Rural Mail Delivery Routes
Till July I.

Washington, May 16.-No more
rural free delivery routes will be es-
tablished until after July 1, the be-
ginning of the fiscal year. The in
vestigation of affairs in the Postof-
flee Department has disclosed among
other things, that the number of
routes arranged for under the adj
ministration of Mr.. Machen, has ex-
ceeded the appropriation for the
year., and will create a deficit esti-
mated at about $4,000 by June 80.
Already routes that had been or
dered established beginning May Is,
June 1, and other periods prior to
the beginning of the new fiscal year,
are being specifically investigated
with the purpose of preventing the
service becoming active, and thereby
making as small a deficit as possible.
It is not intended, however, that
the Investigation of proposed routes
shall be suspended. The field work
will be continued. The Postmaster
General estimates the total number
of routes fairly entitled to be estab-
lished in the entire country at $4,000,
and that at the rate of increase that
was in vogue this will be reached
two years hence.

Is It to Come ?

Under the waters of the Atlantic
there are now 5000 miles of cables
connecting the United States with
Europe. These lines belong to five
distinct cable systems; but in respect
to their management and control
there are but two or three cable or
CARNATIONS. Over these lines the
commercial rate for messages to Eng
land or France is Is cents a word.
The rate for press messages, which
are mostly transmitted after the
close of business, is ten cents a
word.
Against the competition of the
Marconi rate at, say 21a cents a
word, the cable rate of Is cents a
word could m~anifestly not be main
tanned. Perhaps it is not rash to
put the coming Marconi rate for
press messages at 1 cent a word.
The effect upon the cable companies
of a competition so formidable can,
of course, be imagined by any one.
That these companies will go out of
business, however, is not to be ex-
pected. Their cables may go out of
business-may be abandoned to .des-
uetude and decay in the deeps. But
the corporations themselves, it is
natural to expect, advancing at a
somewhat l%ivelier pace than their
policy and their freedom from COM
petition has permitted in the past,
would by purchase or invention pro-
vide themselves with a system and
apparatus of wireless telegraphy.-

The p~ostofice investigation still
continues and with greater expedi-
ton, since the suspension of General
Superintendent of Free Delivery
Machen. Among the important dis
coveries which have followed the in
stallation of Inspector Fosnes at the
head of the free delivery service is
the finding Of a circular sent, with
out authorization, to the carriers of
rural routes asking them to forward
to the office of free delivery a list of
the persons receiving mail on their
respective routes and it is admitted
that these names have been placed
at the disposal o&mail order houses,
department stores, newspapers and
others which wished to circularize
the recipients Of mail with the hope
of cultivating the rural trade. It is
manifest that the private use of such
confidential information of the gov
eminent was a serious injustice to
the local merchants and newspapers
and it will be promptly stopped.

Two Anniversaries.

June 18th is the bicentenary of the
birth of John Wesley; May 25th is
the centenary Of the birth of Ralph
Waldo Emerson. These anniversa-
ries are not to pass unnoticed.
The Methodists in New York City
have already held a meeting in mem
DRY of Wesley, at which the Presi-
dent of the United States was the
principal speaker. There will be
other celebrations, not merely in this
country, but all over the world.
Less notable in size, but perhaps
not less impressive in character, will
be the gatherings by which men of
all creeds and professions will honor
the memory of Emerson, the poet and
philosopher.
Methodism in America began
when a col or more of people gath
cred at John Wesley's house in Sa-
vannah, Georgia, in 1875, although
the first society was not organized
till thirty years later. To-day the
Methodist Church in the United
States has nearly six million mem
bers in all it's branches, who spend
many millions every year for church
maintenance, and for charitable and
benevolent purposes.
