Caruso the noted Italian singer has appealed
from the imposition OF fine by city mags-

before Recorder Golf, who reserved his decision.

Caruso is getting much notorety at the expense

Senator Rayner, of Maryland, is the latest as
sailant of the President and savagely attacks
him The burden Of Mr. Rayners complaint is
that the President is so popular that the people
believe that ihbst Of the things he does are
right. The President cannot help having the
people with him. He is popular because he is
fearless, and has made courageous war on vari-
Gus forms Of industrial evil throughout the coun-
try In this he has stepped upon the toes Of some
interests for which Senator Rayner feels friendly,
and hence there is a howl.

Since January /. 1906, increased eff
forts have been made by road officials
in various States to secure the cooper
alton Of the Postoffice Department in
the Improvement Of public highways
on which rural delivery service has
been established. The department is
now actively aiding the road officials
in the State of Illinois, Wilson's IN,
Missouri, Iowa, New Jersey and Maine
to attain this object. The method Of
procedure is for the road officials to
send out to eachsrural carrier q, Blank
containing questions to be answered
by him in regard to the condition Of
the roads; the materials of which they
are composed; how often worked and
in what manner; the condition OF the
bridges and culverts. and whether suit
able road-building material is available
in the neighborhood. Postmasters at
rural delivery offices are directed to
cooperate with State and local road
officials and to instruct the rural car
riers attached to their offices to fur
nish all the information called for.
As a result of these efforts complaints
in regard to the bad condition of roads
in the States named are becoming much
less frequent.
The state OF Indiana has enacted a
law making 1t the duty OF the proper
officials to keep in repair and passable
condition an the year around the high
ways in their respective districts along
which rural delivery routes have been
or may hereafter be established. Ne
elect TO comply with the provisions Of
this law, after the receipt Of five days
notice Of the defective condition Of such
highways Is punishable by a fine of not
less than 81 nor more than $25 for each
day OF such highways are allowed to re-
main in an impossible condition after
the receipt Of such notice. Legislative
action along similar lines. Il is under>
stood. has also been taken by the state
OF Pennsylvania.
In states which has not yet organ
lied State Highway Commissions, the
department Is cooperating with the
Department of Agriculture in bringing
about the organized efforts for road
Improvement"
Sixteen Carriers.
!. BY this method Il can be readily
seen that rural free mail carriers who
are constantly on the road may prove
a valuable source Of information to the
commissioner Of highways or to those
officials who have in charge the work

Announcement was made last week
that the President had sent Clark
Wix's name to the Senate for con-
firmation as postmaster at Butler,
Thus ends the long scrap In the
ranks Of the local Republicans, which
bid fair at one time to involve the
whole state machine. Under the
Presidents pretended virtuous rul-
ings, that merit would be recognized,
the friends of Mr.. Welton were en-
couraged, but the president didn't
understand the Missouri Republi-
Gun s capacity for pie and such q
howl was made by the machine that
the administra ton simply couldn't
hold out against 1t. There Is no
denying that Clark Wix is a strong
man in bis party and a cog in the
wheel OF the machine. He la cked the
support Of his local organization
but he captured the Congressional
organization and, what was more
important, Sena tor Warner, and the
rest was dead easy. The TIMES con.
graduates Judge Wix on his sp-
pointment and expects to see him
make a popular. postmaster. Mr..
Welton made q very: efficient and
popular postmaster for more than
eight years and leaves the office with
the good will and best wishes OF the
patrons.
