Operate Postofiice Department by Private


A sensation was caused recently at
the meeting of the congressional
postal commission by proposition
from w. ID. Boyce, of Chicago, re-
presenting large financial interests, to
take over the entire United States post
Office department and operate it as
private business under government
control.
In a communication to Senator
Boies Penrose, chairman of the COM
mission, and other officials, Mr.. Boyce
made strong attack on the way the
postoffice department is at present
run.
Postmaster General Cortelyou,
heads of other government depart
ments, and prominent delegations in
terested in postal reform were as
tonished at the facts presented.
"We believe the operation of the
postal service contains none OF the
elements of governmental functions.
but may be resolved substantially into
simple question of transportation.
delivery and routine" said Boyce.
Private ownership, according to the
speaker, would eliminate the postal
deficit, give penny postage on letters
aud reduce the rate on second-class
matter from one cent to half a cent a
pound.
Comparison was made of the public,
with private business.
Mine different postmaster generals
have occupied the position OF what
might be designated president of the
post office department during the last
20 years. said Mr.. Boyce. "No pri-
vate business could successfully
continue with so many changes as
take place in the service"
The proposed corporation would per-
form all services now rendered by the
government department, carry out all
treaty stipulations and contracts and
take the receipts from postal services
as full compensation.
The benefit to be derived, Mr.. Boyce
SAYS, would be reduction of one-half
on first and second-class matter.
The postal commission is lookin g
into the question of the annual postal
deficit and seeking to ascertain what
proportion of this deficit may be
rightfully charged against newspapers
and periodicals. At hearing in New
York in October the newspaper pub
fishers were heard and such strong
case made out in defense of their po
sition that the publishers of maya
zines asked time to prepare their side
of the case. One of the strong points
made by the newspaper publishers
was that the average newspaper haul
in the country is only 100 miles while
magazines are hauled at the same rate
of postage for an average distance OF
SEQ miles.
Chairman Overstreet of the house
committee on postoffices said that in
his judgment the newspaper rate OF
postage would probably not be chang
ed through the recommendation of the
commission, but the rate on certain
classes of periodicals may be increas-
ed. The remedy of the post Office de-
partment, as set forth by Assistant
Postmaster General Madden, is for a
fat rate of four cents pound on all
second-class matter without dis
elimination, instead of one cent as at
present.

For Sick Women
To Consider

F1RsT.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
OF the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inham-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
TmRD.-The great volume of unss-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give ale
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
p. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
tOWOmen.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
YOUR trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinlkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick womenf free ofcharge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if She doesno take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

HAKALAU LAND
TO Be SETTLED
EXPIRING LEASEHOLDs OF THE
PLANTATION TO BE TAKEN BY
SMALL HOMEsTEADERS.

AS indicated yesterday, the Hakalau
land settlement proposition was finally
settled at conference of Hawaii citi-
zens representing settlement associa-
tions, Acting Governor Atkinson and
Land Commissioner Pratt. The confer
ences of the morning We're resumed af-
ter noon, and an agreement was reach
ed whereby the settlement associations
will weed out some of their members
who are regarded as spectators, and
the reorganized associations will ac-
cept 25 acres of cane land per family,
with right to apply for leases of pas
ture land above the cane belt.
There are three associations in the
agreement,-the Osorio, Luhan and
Fernandez,-and they have had a long
controversy with Land Commissioner
Pratt. The agreement reached is on
the terms upon which the government
has insisted. The associations origin
ally asked for a hundred acres per fam
lily. The lands in question are Hakalau
plantation lands, upon which long term
leases will expire next June
