SIMPLY THE SYSTEM.

The money order system has been a
great annoyance to the public and a
cumbrance to the federal government
for many years. Public opinion has
come gradually to be interested in the
question of a simpler and easier meth
cd of renting small sums through the
medium of the postal service.
Within recent years owing to the
vast expansion in the country's pOpu-
lation and business, the maintenance
of the money -order system has become
serious problems. The system is
complicated, cumbersome and .unprofi-
table: indeed, maintained at a distinct
loss to the government.
One hundred and fifty thousand
rznoney, orders are daily handled IN
Washington, which means that 150.e0e
must be distributed and an incoming
$50. 900 must be received. recorded and
filed away. Scores Of clerks with adj

Is MCCLELLAN THE COMING MAN

~. :. ~ - - e. H.
; Mayor Mcclellan Of New York
stands an excellent show to be the
democratic nominee for president He
supported Bryan In 1886 and in 1900.
and yet he is not opposed by the cdn-
sentative element of the party, as was
proven by his big majority over Seth
Low. He would almost certainly carry
New York and he would prob
ably carry New Jersey, as his
father was the pride of that
state and. was elected governor in
1854, twenty years after his defeat for
the presidency. The strong support
given the mayor by New York and
New Jersey would be likely to swing
Connecticut and perhops Rhode Island
into line, and with the solid South he
would need only Illinois or Indiana and
West Virginia to give him a majority
in the electoral college. - 81
Mcclellan has better. chance for
securing the Endorsement of the New
York delegation than Judge Parker for
the reason that the latter is not ac-
ceptablei to Tammany because of his
close friendship for Dave Hill. Nun
ply, the head of Tammany, now seems
to have the best Of Hill in the fight for
control Of the democratic organization
Of the state and this means that Nc
Clellan, rather than Parker, will be
New York's candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination at the st Louis
convention.
Mcclellan has had longer experience
in the public service than Roosevelt
had had prior to his election as gov
ernor of New York. He has served
five terms in congress with marked
ability and his administration as
mayor has begun under most auspic-
ious circumstances. 1t is conceded
even by his opponents that he has in
herited his fathers great genius fol
organization and that he has extra
ordinary executive ability. The cause
of good government in New York has
lost nothing by the change from Low
to Mcclellan and the cause Of good
government in the nation would moi
suffer by elevating New York's dis.
tinguished young mayor to the presi'
Dental chair to succeed Roosevelt.

Dunning is engaged in this business in
