5000 MILES PER YEAR

Few people of the city who enjoy
the benefits of the free delivery
service, ever stop to think how much
work is done by one of our mail
carriers during the year. They get
their mail daily and are satisfied.
Some even think the mail carrier has
a snap job, for he just spends his time
walking about town. The truth is
however that some of these critics.
after brief trial would not trade
positions with the carrier. Each of
the Grand Rapids carriers travels on
an average of eighteen miles each day,
or nearly 5000 miles year. That's a
long walk. 1t means that if each
carrier walked in straight line that
at the end Of the year he would have
travelled nearly one-fourth of the way
around the earth. From the time he
goes on duty in the morning until his
days work is over there is but a short
time. only when he is making up his
bundles to start out on his route, that
he is not walking.
Another thing which may be in
tereSting: DID you ever stop to think
how much mail is delivered in a sea-
son? On an average of sixty ponnds
is delivered daily by each one, or
nearly eleven tons yearly.

SENATOR FREAR'S
ANNOUNCEMENT

Hudson, Feb. s, 1906.-Acting
upon the advice of many friends in
different parts of the state, and after
careful consideration, ] have decided
to become candidate for the Office of
secretary of state. In this connection
the following statement may be
proper. 1t is generally conceded that
many valuable laws affecting nomi-
nations, elections, taxation, the rail-
ways. insurance and educational
matters. have been passed within the
past four years and that Wisconsin
now ranks second to no state in the
important legislation it has so
secured.
Whatever differences of opinion
may have arisen as to these enact
mentS, the results as a whole, when
fully appreciated. will be preserved to
the people by all parties and should
bring together those who value, above
all things else, the advancement and
general welfare of the state.
mo declaration of principle will be
offered by me at the present time
further than record in both branches
of the legislature wherein | may have
contributed, in some measure toward
securing these laws.
1.-THE object of the primary system
is to compel candidates to stand for
right principles, to serve the state
and not special interests and to SUBJ
nit their candidates. directly to the
people. If measured by this standard,
l have merited the confidence of the
electors of Wisconsin, [ shall be
grateful for their support.
''In the judgment of those familiar
with the duties of the office, the
position named offers possibilities for
the accomplishment of much effective
work in the administration of the
states affairs and in the recovery of
claims due under recent enactmentS.
For these reasons, among others, |
have been strongly urged to become a
candidate.
Further legislative work in con-
nection with the insurance investi-
CATION has been allotted me, which
may temporarily affect the further
ance of my candidacy and require my
absence from home, but in response
to requests that come to an early
decision, l have made the announce
ment at this time.
believing that the people should
have direct voice in all nomina tions
and having labOred conscientiously
to assist in SecarIng TO them such
rights, will cheerfully accept their
decision at the September primaries.

THE Lottery CASE

In the lottery" case against Frank
Mazur last week, he was held moi
guilty by jury, of the crimina
offenSe of operating lottery scheme
hr. MazHr was arrested upon com
plaint of Mr. Bankert of the west
side, whom the Grand RAPIDS Tailor
ing Co. man insists in trying to put
him out of business, alleging that
backing is afforded the west slider for
that purpose.
A lottery under the law must con.
tain three factors, and all of them
namely: the scheme must contain the
element chance, consideration paid
and something received. This case
had the latter two of the elements OF
a lottery, but in view of the fact that
all interested received a suit OF
clothes, the defendent's ATTORNEYS
held that the element chance did not
make anyone loser, and therefore
the chance was not criminal.
The jury held with the attorneys
MeSSrS. Wheelan and Hambrecht, and
the operator of the suit clubs was de.
clared not guilty. Mr.. Mazur EN-.
ployS six men in his shop, and is a
sticker for home trade, and therefore
declares himself aStonished that any.
one should try to injure his business,
as he alleges was the case in this in
stance. In view of the fact that
others operate schemes where the
element chance enters, seems to Mr..
Mazur good reason why his suit club
should be all right, even though it
were adjudged lottery.
