The Manchester Union hits the nail on the head in its suggested rem edy for so-cilled postofice department aefscit when it says. If business princi- pIes, of which so much Is said in con nectton with the postofice department, require that it should pay, or, at least, be seIf-supporting. there is simple way to secure the result through the exercise of common sense bookkeeping. The postoffice depart ment handles an immense amount of
 matter free of postage. and pays the railroads for carrying it. The treas ury department prints all the stamps used in the postofice department and the postofice department has to pay for them; but it carries the mail for the treasury department and all the other departments free. If It will credit itself with this wok on it's books, it will have. to be sure no more money than before. but the de- felt will disappear. and it may even be found that the department not only pays its way. but actually helps to carry along some of the other depart msnts as we'll"

What Made Him Laugh.

New IOTk EfSHlH6
 Seated in the upper left hand corner of an uptown Broadway car this af- ternoon was a man who was reading a book. Every few minutes the man would raise his eyes from the book and laugh long and loud. His repeated laughs and guffaws attracted the at tention of the other passengers.
 Beg pardon" said passenger seat ed next to him, but that book you are reading must be very humorous book. I feel like having an occasional laugh. Would you mind giving me the title of the book and name of the au- thnr"'

~No HEIR APPARENT FOR ALA
 BAMIANs.

rae Birmingham Ledger makes poor out in attempting to explain it's unfortunate reference to "the pros peetive heir to the Governorship. The Advertiser protested that there could be no such thing as long as there was freedom of choice and opin-, ion left to the voters. The Ledger in attempted rejoinder says:
 We have seen during the Jelks ad miristration the heir apparent take charge and conduct the affairs or the State Surely The Advertiser knows
 Whether the Lieutenant Governor has consented to it we know not. but the friends he left lip here are taking t for granted that he will be can afdate for Governor. They are work ing for him already.
 The Advertiser is right at the seat of government and at least as near the throne as The Ledger; It .oa0So should tive and apparent heir to the Cover norship. Think 1t over.
 The Ledger is trifing with serious and uRovidential matters when it talks thus fippantly. If it will .sfhina 1t over' it will recall that Governor samford's sickness and death brought strongly to the front the necessity for better provision about the successorship when a va cancy in the Governors office occur red. It will also recall that when Governor Jelks was taken so III as to necessitate the giving up of the cares of office for awhile that Lieutenant Governor Cunningham ably and faith fully met all the requirements of the occaAon Because he filled the po- sition so ably caused his friends to believe that he was the right man for the place. He was not regarded as fsthe heir apparent" and the best evil aenee of that fact is that he is not Governor today. The doctrine of hand ing down ofice is not to the taste of the American people. Dr. Cunning hams friends made no claim of that sort, but based their support of him upon fitness, judicial mindedness and recognized ability. The craze for vio- lent and untried legislation. and for the advocate and exponent of danger ous extremes, swept the people off their feet. The Ledger is unfor- tnnate in referring to the last ad- nainistration as an example for back ing up it's claim for exaltation of "the heir apparent. /"

THE LEGISLATIVE WHIPPING POST

The railroads are tied to the whip ping post for more castigation in Sen ate Bill 162 and House Bill 41. The former is designed to limit the hours of operators handling train messages to e.. Int hours a day: and the latter to provide for a State Board of Exam iners of railroad telegraph operators The first bill akects only the smaller stations as the train dispatchers in main offices are already on three shifts of eight hours day. Most of these small offices receive less than half dozen messages a day, and this eight-hour bill where the office is night and day would compel the em- ployment of 50 per cent more force. and where only day office of twelve hours 100 per cent, as 1t would re- auire two operators for over eight hours. It is hardly probably that such regulation" Of railroads could meet the concurrent approval of two Houses of the Legislature and of the Governor.
 The blu for an examining board is quite as unreasonable. It Is said the order of 0. R. T. is behind it. but are keeping themselves well in the background. The bill is dangerous, because to ona not acquainted with
