The Case of the Carriers.

A letter of a rural mail carrier Irinted in Q recent issue of the Atlanta Constitution enumerated facts in the form of an expense account exhibit which prove most conclusively that this faithful and highly useful public servant is hardly receiving salary re- muneration sufficient to pay the an nual wear and tear on his rolling stock. The carrier showed by the item ized figures that his net compensation from the government amounts to but S367.77, after the necessary personal expenses incident to the office is de- ducted from his modest salary of $51S.SO per annum.
 As everybody who is familiar with the life of the rural free delivery car rier knows, his is "the strenuous life He rises early and retires late, as Q rule, spending most of the intervening hours in foundering through mud or choking through dust, as happens to be the season of the year-blowing his coId-numbed hands or mopping his perspiring brow-plodding his weary way to the doors of the farmer folk along his route to bring them the news of the world or mail from the marts of trade and friends afar.

failures and $155.4441S5 liabilities in the preceding year. The mere fact that the aggregate makes a favorable comparison with that of 1903 is not as gratifying as the quarterly separation. which shows that the returns have i'm proved as the year advanced. Thus the first quarter was much the worst of the year. but stall compared favor ably with the last quarter Of the pre- ceding year. and the closing three months contained much lower com merciaI death rate than the same months of 1903. The depression has, in fact, disappeared. latest reports covering the last quarter being better than the average.
 In the outlook at this writing hope ful elements undoubtedly predominate largely. It would be difficult, indeed to convict of exaggeration Secretary Shaw, who declares that If clouds ex- ist they do not show above the hor- izon"

learn that Providence has visited the country with bounteous favor in so far as the crops of 1904 are concerned. that in volume and value they are. in fact. without precedent in the history of the country. The crop of corn az gregates ?. ACT .4S0. .934 bushels; the crop of wheat aggregates 550,oOO 900 bush els. and although this is less than any year since 1900 it's farm value is the highest since 1881; of oats. barley and potatoes the production was phenom- enally high The situation may be summed up by saying that the total value of the principal crops of the countryC exclusive of cotton. which is the largest crop ever l1nown) had a market value on December 1 last of $2,734. .S63,7O2, a total which breaks all records.
 There are many other reasons for believing that we have entered upon period of business activity based upon sound conditions. For some months past manufacturing plants have been steadily reducing their proportion of idle machinery until at the present time there is little cause for com plaint. labor disputes are compara- lively few. surplus stocks of goods are light and in good demand, reports of mercantile collections indicate that payments are becoming prompt, rail- road earnings are increasing. and legitimate enterprises are finding more encouragement from capital than for three years past. Everywhere there is a conservative optimism which points almost unmistakably to a year of fruit ful commercial effort.
 In the record of failures. a reliable index of the health of the mercantile world, there is much to encourage. In- complete returns of these during the year 1904 reported by R. G. Dun 6 Go. indicate that about 12,224 concerns suspended. having a defaulted indebt- edness of $144,SO7,462. These figures compare with final statistics of 12,O69

the depressing sense of isolation and adding to the security of life and the value of property far from the mad ding crowds ignoble strife" The rural carrier is most valuable. nay. an indispensable. public servant, and if the system is to be made all that it should be-if. in time. it is to equal the like service in European countries, Uncle Sam must make the hire worthy of the laborer. if he expects to com mand the service of men who will aid in the evolution of the service This is most emphatically not being ione under the present system. The core spondent was not wide cf the mark when he declared that the faithful ru- raI carrier represents. without ex- ception. the poorest paid intelligent, responsible service in the United States"
 Commenting on ihe facts presented by its correspondent, the Constitution says:
 "It is difficult, in view of the present rigid economy of the government with
 
 lay mind to comprehend why the off, cials of the postof1ice department at Washington seem so intent on cutting off the slightest legitimate opportunity of the carriers to make a few dollars monthly on the side by carrying par cells for their postal patrons, selling or taking subscriptions for newspapers or otherwise trying to increase their earnings without interfering with the discharge of their official duties. If the government will not give its eu- ployes salary enough to support them in even the simple life" of the coun- try, it does not seem that it should deny it's ill-paid servants the OppOrtd- nity to profit a little by turning a few honest dollars in private enterprise. It would seem reasonable enough to al low the rural mail carriers to solicit subscriptions for printed periodicals and act as the route agents for daily newspapers in connection with lheir work if it did not interfere with the service afforded the public by the free delivery mail service. and such incl dental private enterprises would not. of course, interfere with the public ser vice.
 Congress should give the carriers the privilege to act in an agent capac- ity to a reasonable specified extent in conjunction with the privilege to do a parcels carrying business. By no oth- er means is it possible, under existing salary conditions. for the rural car riers to make a respectable living out of their official employment.
 "The carriers may not, under the rules, be privileged to petition congress in their own behalf, but they should not lack for friends at court if the pe- titions of their patrons and the public press can be of service to them in their just claims.
 Let congress do more for the rural carriers. They deserve it."

Official Notice of Political Corruption.

So far as we have noted, nearly all the executive messages to state legis- latures this year call attention to the prevalent corruption in politics. Brib cry and lobbying in the legislatures. the bribery of voters. the stuffing of ballot boxes. the stealing of franchises. all come in for discussion in the mes sages of most of the governors. It is clear that the meaning of the election of Douglas in Massachusetts, Deneen in Illinois. Folk in Missouri and La Toilette in Wisconsin has not been overlooked. The election of such men is recognized as significant of a gen eral protest against the evils in our political system.
 One of the most outspoien discus sions of political evils is found in the message of Governor Durbin. the re- tiring executive of Indiana. Governor Durbin was especially severe in speak ing of the debauchery of elections, and Of the fact that men of character and influence are being contaminated by the general and unrestricted corrup- ton in that state:
 'The time has come for the applica- ton of drastic remedial measures to the plague of corruption which is fas- tening itself upon our politics. We have in Indiana advanced legislation for the protection of the purity of the ballot but the statistics of political . f3ebauchery i'll this state for 1904 if it were possible to present them, would
 
 ~I am informed by unquestioned au- thOrity that in a single county in lD- diana casting in 1902 a little more than 5000 votes there were in the last cam paign nearly 1900 voters regularly listed as purchasable, and the S15,O0O raised by assessment from candidates and otherwise was spent by the con tending political parties in the effort to control the county.
 Instances have come to my atten- ton during the last few weeks where. in contests for township trustees, votes have brought S25 and S30 each. Our present need is legislation framed in the light of a clearer conception of the enormity of the offense involved in the purchase or sale of a vote
 Our present statute is farcical, as it places no penalty on the vote buyer. DelleNe COllSlCtIdLlOIl SLOulu DE gwen 70 the s.dvisability of requiring the gradual introduction of voting ma chines.'
 As a parting warning to the legis- 1ature the governor says:
 ''If reports current can be credited, this session of the legislature will be called upon to resist the importunities of the most corrupt professional lobby that has visited itself upon any gen eral assembly in the history of the state.
 Already the names of members of the general assembly are being used. and the necessity of large sums Of money to prevent needed legislation or to pass questionable measures is being urged"
 It should not be hastily concluded that these official denunciations of po- litical and official dishonesty indicate q lowering of the country's moral tone. Rather. they indicate an awakened public conscience, which the governors of the several states are rehecting.
 But if Governor Durbin is to be be- lieved, politics could scarcely be more rotten than in Indiana
