There has been great deal of mis-
understanding concerning the pay

crs in the rural free delivery mail
service. Many bills were introduced
and one has been passed by both the
senate and the house of representa-
tives at Washington it contains the
following bearing on the much noted
topic:
''On and after July first, nineteen
hundred and four, letter carriers of
the rural free delivery mail service

With the passing away OF Senator
Quay has gone the fierce hatred with
which he was pursued of recent
years.
The solitary exception is the North
American which had brutal editor
ial the Monday after his demise.
OF the deceased statesman even
those who would say nothing good
of him while living now admit that
he had many good qualities and was
plucky, manly opponent ana a
firm friend to those he sought to
assist.
Living, Senator Quay was the de-
termined and aggressive leader, a
quality which aroused the antagon-
ism of many. In his death politics
are forgotten and he is only remem-
bered as the American who devoted
the best years of his life to the ser
vice of his country.
Politics divides the American peo-
pie into parties and produces blcker-
ings and dissensions. But, even the
fcrccst of partisans recognize that
two parties at least are necessary to
maintain the republic, that the lead
ers must arise and that numbers
mustdevote their lives to politics.
The true American never forgets
that those of opposite political faith
arc Just as much interested in the sue
cess of the country as he is. There
fore when a leader on either side
passes away hei remembered only
as true American and a sincere we'll
wisher of his country.
Therefore, the North American
editorial is brutal and uncalled for,--
