What a Tracer Is

A tracer is small slip of paper which each
L \ carrier signs affidavit of the letter
having passed through his hands. AS last
resource, it is then placed in the advertised list,
which is pinned up in the hall of the post office
building every Monday morning. This list
used to appear in the daily journals but for
some reason this has been discontinued. If
still uncalled for at the expiration of the adver
tised time, it is placed in long package of
similar letters, checked off to tally with list
remaining in the Office for further Identified
ton, if necessary, and sent to Washington,
if possible.
In addition to the directories, the searchers
department possesses a large book with the
streets and numbers of the principal cities in
the United States. If letter is received ad-
dressed to street and number, but no city, the
street and number are looked up in this book,
and if a street and number are found CORE
spending to those given on the letter, it is re-
mailed and in many cases the right city has
been found.
The mistakes made by people in so simple
an act as addressing, stamping mailing
a letter are almost incredible. Sometime
ago the postmaster in Boston gave a short
lecture about unstamped and instructed let
tiers, and invited some of the principal firms
and business men of the city to attend. He
used as examples of the truth of his statements
the letters, numbering some hundreds, that had
been dropped in the office that day, some adj
dressed to street and number, but city;
others addressed to the city, but lacking street
or number; some not addressed at all; some
without stamps; and SO on through the list of
innumerable mistakes that post office clerks
deal with every day. To say that the business
men were astonished is putting it mildly. That
postmaster was wise man in his generation
If he had not shown them their own letters he
would not have been believed.

REPRESENTATION.

III Murphy does go TO congress, 1t
will only be for one term" This Is u
remark very commonly heard where
ever citizens discuss the third district
contest. Well, grant the truth of the
proposition. Even then, both the dis
trict and the nation would gain.
IT Is said that history repeats itself;
and IL might be well to take glance
backward before attempting TO fore.
cast the future. In 1882 the people OF
tho old third district overthrow Con
gresham George g. Hazelton's boss
rule and elected over him Burr w.
Jones, the ablest and best man that
ever represented southwestern Wscon-
sin In congress. Hazolton did not
return to the district, but took up his
permanent residence In Washington,
whore, 1t Is understood, he joined the
third house, or the lobby. In 1884
the republicans, the ma jority party In
the district, nominated an able young
man, -ltobort M, La Toilette, and
he was elected, and served three terms.
In 1890, Mr.. Ia Toilette was defeated
by captain A, Il. Bushnell, another
one OF the ablest and bost representa-
tives ever sent from the Badger state.
In 1892 congressman Bushnell was de-
fcated by Mr., Baboock, who has held
tho Office ever since.
Now, In the event OF tho election of
Mr., Murphy this year, he will, In all
probability, be rcnonimated by the
Democrats In 1908. And who would
be his opponent? Not Mr.. Babcock,
we take IT, but some able Republican
possessing the confidence Of the voters.
And 30, tho election of Mr.. Murphy
TO congress this year would secure for
the district better representation not
only Tor one term, but for two terms
or more: because he would either be
his own successor, or else he would be
succeeded by worthy, representative
Republican.
by far too much capital Is being
made out of Mr. Babcook's long sorry
Ice IN congress, He has never yet
represented the district IA we'll rs it
was repsentod 10y Mr.. Jones or Mr.,
Bushnell, -- ono term members. Nor
will he over represent 1t rs we'll us

AERAID OLE TIE GIANT.

What has vast corporations aud
what kind of Legislation has Senator
La Toilette In mind? Certainly not
those which control politics, govern
ment and finance by reason Of Special
Privileges granted through the tariff
law! SO long AS Little Bob' so
studiously avoids this greatest OF all
issues, just SO long must he rest under
suspiscion Of going only far enough
In the cause OF the people as to dis
tinguish him somewhat from the out
and-out corporation senator's, while
he takes mighty good pains not TO
run afoul OF the Giant Graft which

Roosevelt out Of the path OF reform.

when Theodore Roosevelt dissembled;
