Rural Delivery Express.

James I. Cowles, the secretary of
the Postal Progress League, man
who has made a deep study of the
science of mail carrying, has q
proposition which he calls a plan to
make the rural free delivery serv-
ice pay a profit instead of causing a
heavy burden. In reality, it is-Or
would be, if adopted-the opening
wedge in the great movement to
divert the express business of the
country TO the mails, a movement
that is one day going TO succeed,
spite of express company Senators
and stockholding Representatives.
Mr.. Cowles thus outlines his
scheme:
To test the practicabnity of elm
mating the postal deficiency by means
OF an efficient rural service, we pro-
pose that an appropriation of $500
be made Tor the establishment and
supnOrt during the coming fiscal year
of an experimental local rural post

All mail collected and delivered with

I saw walking rose, wearing a gown,
sit down TO q breakfast Of bologna

I would have given her three years TO
sink into attenuation and palior, or TAT
sallowness, had not her mother sat be
side her. who had no doubt breakfasted
in "a similar food twenty years longer,
and stilI rivaled any New York de-
butaute In complexion.
The climate is said by many people
TO be the cause of this color. 1t Is damp
and cool. But I have been in other
places where there was dampness and
freshness of atmosphere and never have
seen such uniformity of lasting radiance
of complexion as here In Holland.
Deeper Than Climate.
So we must look deeper than mere eli
mate for the explanation. We VIII give
that its due and pass on.
The working people produce the most
children Here. as with US. and every
where in the world, luxury and leisure
lessen the size of families. But there
seems to be no race suicide here, as IN
France and America-no effort to thWart
nature
So that is another explanation OF the
lasting bloom of the women Nature
laws on this most sacred and important
matter are observed; and she repays by
dividends of health and bloom.
Then again. the waists of the girls
and women have not been restrained.
The natural tendency of the Dutcn
figure is not 10 curves. but TO square
ness. It cannot be called pretty; but
no inducement has been offered to force
its compliance with fashions laws.

/ She simply accepts it, She does not ap-
preciate it because everybody has It.
I perhaps.
And there is still another reason why
the Dutch dame needs no rouge, even
when the mother merges into the grand
mother. Despite her alarmingly nhy-

The Popular Primary.

The movement for direct popular
primaries has reached the stage
where its success and practically
universal sway are assured. There
is still however. too much misrep-
resentation of it, especially along
the line Of the claim that the Popu-
lar primary is not popular at all,
but so expensive as to bar the poor
man from candidacy for Office
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has
been making some investigation Of
this claim, anent the recent primary
in Oregon. 1t finds that the pri-
mary has "anuihilated completely
the party boss. and there seems no
manner in which political manipu-
lation can be successfully resorted
10 in a primary election" As 10
the expense. the Post-Intelligencer
sums il up thus;
To the man seeking 10 buy his way
into an office, il might be cheaper 10
deal with party machine, IN the hands
OF professional political mauipulators.
than 20 attempt the task of debauch-
ing a whole population. If nOmiua-
uOps are 10 he matters OF purchase.
certainly no one but rich man could
buy one from the whole electorate.
This states the case very well.
The popular primary viii make the
purchase of a nomination so ex-
pensive that nobody, rich or poor,
viii attempt it, Then. with no
body investing money. the whole
business will revert TO the people,
and there will be really popular
nominations.
The Seattle paper points out that
Senator Cullom the other day was
overwhelmingly nominated in a
popular primary. He did not make
a speech or spend any money. His
opponent made many speeches and
spent much money, besides having
the very active support of a power
ful machine. The people named the
man they wanted; all the efforts of
campaign committees and manipu-
lation and money were as the
scratch Of "a pin on the boulder of
public opinion
The current campaign in Wiscon-
sin might equally well be used as
illustration. On September + all
parties viii nominate their candi-
dates for all Offices at the primary
polls. Conventions are completely
done away with. The campaign is
now going on. Indications are that
several congressman viii be de-
feated for nomination; that a gov
ernor who is serving his first term
will fail of denomination; that the
proportion of changes viii be ex-
tremely large.
Why? Because the people. not
the machine, are doing it. A deal
of speaking is going on, but no at
tempt is making TO use money in
the usual ways. The Republican
stalwarts. who have always been
the spenders in Wisconsin, have
gone out of business entirely. They
are not trying TO nominate any
body.
And your Wisconsin stalwart
knows when money can and when
it can't be used effectively. He
knows that the primary puts it at
a discount.

Automobilists whose enthusiasm

violation of the speed laws are gen
orally, when apprehended, loud in
their protestatiOns OF innocence.
Like the dnrky who ''nebber saw no

fowl were peeping from the holes
in his straw hat, they assert with
a grieyed or angry air. as the case
may be. either that their machines
are incapable of the speed alleged
or that the stop watches of the
rural police are ''turnips" of the
most untrustworthy type.
