BEyTER POSTAL SERVICE.

William r. Wilcox has completed SIX months
of service as Postmaster. He was seiecteo ny
the President to administer the local Postoliice
as private business would be adInihisteiea'
and he has accomplished several th'nSs WHICH
iustify the Presidents choice, The improve
ments are fundamental Not all of them are
onnarent at glance Perhaps the most ap-
parent is the quicker movement OF mail posted
In the city for local delivery IL no iohSei
takes from six to twenty hours to denver uo"h-
town n letter mailed in Harlem This has been
accomplished in spite of the prlmitlVe lheth-
ods-the pushcarts and decrepit horses-for
moving mail from sub-station to substatlon
Politics no longer controls in the appointments
or promotions The esprit de corps mas peen
improved There is evident an understanding
of the postal needs of the city and an eHort
TO meet them Two new Sub-stations nave oeen
secured for sections greatly In need OF theh-
Wall Street and West Farms. Iwenty-elght
numbered stations have been opened in drug
stores and other public places, making the
total number in Manhattan and The Bronx at
the present time 200. The circular addressed
70 merchants and other large nsers of the
postal service suggesting the earlier posting
of letters resulted in marked relief in the
rush hours Over one hundred thousand letters
which were mailed after p. M. are now post
ed before 3 p. m.
The improvement in the esprit de corps Is
due to the sincere interest Mr.. Wilcox mas
shown in the men and his fair dealing lie
has been so severe in his punishment OF lnfrac-
tions of the rules of the service that their num-
ber has decreased and there are fewer trials
than formerly. In making promotions merit
and efficiency have been the deciding factors.
His fairness is recognized by the employees AS
it was put the other day by the chef oniclal
of one of the organizations of employees or the
local office who is present at ali the trials I'VE
"are getting square deal. The Postmaster IS
"far In his punishments and his promotions.
If, Postmaster Wilcox can secure the facilities
for moving mail which he is seeking, the New
York Postoffice will be in a much better posi-
tion to give the kind of service the public has
q right to expect.

we have cited will no longer be possible anu
the nearly S100,000,0o0 invested in the churches
will be kept active working capital in summer
as well as in winter
Obviously, much of the church work in sum-
mer must be quite different from what 1t Is
i'm winter The projectors of this movement
appreciate that fact, and with wise discretion
are adapting their plans to it. a large proper
tion of some regular church congregations are
out of town But there is work to be done Tor
those who remain, and there is especially an
opporturlity at such a time to do WORK for
the multitudes who do not belong to the regu-
lar congregations. If such work in summer
time is less strictly sectarian, dogmatlc ana
ecclesiastical than that in winter, and is mere
widely and generously humanitarian, phiian-
thropc and evangelical in the highest sense OF
that term, so much the better, and so hluch
the stronger should be its appeal to the Syhlpa-

repeated and persistent efforts to see the Prest-

they would sell and had been selling TO the

The aeronautic performance of young Knaben-
shue in Toledo Friday will compare favorably
with the voyage which won the Deutsch prize
for Santos Dumont in 1901. The Brazilian tray
ersed a distance of three and one-half miles in
one direction and returned to the starting point
in a. few, seconds less than thirty minutes. kna-
benshue consumed considerably more time. but
some of 1t spent on the roof of high build
ing, where he landed at the end Of the first stage
of his trip. He also used UP little time In ma
noeuvring while aloft. Apparently, too. he trav-
elled as far as did Santos-Dumont. One Of these
days, perhaps, the American flying machine will
execute more brilliant feats than any on rec
ord in Europe.
