RELIEF FOR CARRIERS
Counting OF the Mail to be Discon-
tinued on July /.
THIS HAS BEEN A BIG TASK
Counting Will &c Stopped on Az Of the
Routes Handling 5000 Pieces
or More Per Month.

( Rural delivery carriers will not be
required to count the number OF
pieces of mail delivered and collected
by them after July ], 1907, on routes
where the records show that 5000 or
more pieces Of mail per month were
handled during each of the three
months included in the quarter end
ing June 80 1907, and postmasters
have been instructed accordingly.
Heretofore all rural carriers have
been required to count and render
daily reports of mail delivered and
co llected by them, so that the depart
ment-.might be in possession of in
formation from which reasonable es.
innate could be made as to the ex-
tent which patrons appreciated the
service.
These reports for the quarter end
ed December 81, 1906, show that D.
900 or more pieces of mail per month
were being handled on 1926 routes

the whole number of routes in opera
ton. The states in which more than
one thousand routes are handling
1000 or more pieces of mail per
month are: Iowa, 1879; Ohio, 1922
month are: Iowa, 1879 routes; Ohio,
1922 routes; Michigan, 1.101 routes;
New York. 1887 routes. and Illinois,
054 routes.
Rural delivery schedules are arrang-
ed so that carriers can leave the ser
vice of their routes shortly after the
arrival of the principal morning mail,
Where the amount of mail to be deliV-
cred by the carriers is so large, their
departure is necessarily delayed, and
to eliminate such delays, as far as
practicable and secure more eXpedi-
tious delivery of mail to rural route
patrons is the purpose sought to be
accomplished by discontinuance of the
count on routes which are handling
5000 or more pieces of mail per
month.

NEW LAW KILLS DOPE FIEND
Collapsed at Parkersbure After Vain
Effort to Buy Cocaine.

Parkersburg, w. Va, June g.
John Alloway died at the city hospital
Tuesday because he was unable TO get
his usual dose of cocaine, habit to
which he had been, addicted for sew
eral years. The state law passed by
the recent Legislature prohibiting the
sale of drugs unless on prescription
written by a, reputable physician and

known dope fiend." went into effect
Monday and is a result all local drug
gists adhered strictly to the statute.
Alloway started out early Monday
morning to purchase the amount nee
~essary to satisfy his abnormally de-
veloped appetite. He went from store
to store With some he pleaded and
Others he threatened, but in each in
stance to no avail Almost crazed,
the man started to find a reputable
physician who would give him relief,
but he found none ana in the after
noon he collapsed in downtown
saloon. He was removed to the hos
pital and everything known to medical
science was done to revive him, but
he expired.
Alloway was but one of the scores
OF local dope fends" who have been
suffering untold agonies since Monday
eand other deaths are expected.

SPECIAL JURIEs.

The passage of the bill to abolish special iur-
4 les will be a step in the right direction
and we hope the special jury law will be wiped
off the statute books by the present Legislature
Il would indeed be difficult to conceive of more
unfair law than this special jury act, which in
effect enables wealthy litigant to obtain an
undue advantage over his less wealthy opponent.
1t is not contended that corporations alone arc
benefited by the present system; any rich hti-
CANT whether corporation OF person, can ham
dicap its or his adversary by asking for a special
jury. OF course, theoretically either party to
the action may have such jury, if he makes an
application for one; but whoever heard of a
plaintiff, who had barely enough funds to start
a suit, making application for special jury, in
view of the fact that such an application would
entail an extra expense of some two hundred dol
lars In actual practice, therefore it is only rich
defendants who ask for such juries; for they
are the only ones who can meet the additional
costs. It has been suggested the party desiring
a special jury applies TO the Court 1t is no
answer to objections to these kinds OF juries to
suggest that the court stands sponsor for them.
thereby intending, perhaps, to give such jures
lome prestige by associating them with the
court True, the application for a special jury

NEED EXPECT NO QUARTER FROM U.s.

THERE are, we are informed, some Repubh-
Il cans. and two or three of them are in the
Legislature, who hold the opinion that "our Re
publican legislators should not be criticised
that anything unfavorable said about them re-
fleets upon the party" We know there are
members in the Legislature-we are thankful
they are few-who are wearing the party mask,
and who contend that the party should stand
for their action, and that they should be immune
from newspaper criticism Fortunately for the
people, there is one newspaper in this commun-
ity that recognizes no such code. We consider
such men, those who are elected by the people
and turn from them to serve personal and pri-
yate interests arc traitors to the party that hon
ored them and are to be despised by their con-
sttuents and the good citizenship of the State.
Such men try to operate under cover their cor
rupt deals are secret, and the one thing they
dread aud fear is exposure and publicity That
they sell ihemselvcs when they thus betray their
party there can be no question. They would not
turn against the people to whom they owe their
election unless they received price for their be-
trayal. They ktow they are corrupt; they know
they have forfeited the respect and confidence of
Che people They are supersensitive THE
BOURNALsis here to turn the limelight and
apply the lash to such political rascals Being
in the Republican party will not save them. In
deed, we feel more bitter toward and we will
pursue more relentlessly those false to the Re
publican party For the good Of the community
will hold up their betrayal of trust. And in
this we will treat all alike and will know neither
friend nor foe The worst enemy OF the Republi-
can party is he who is elected to position Of honor
and trust and then sells himself to whoever will
buy, and there is always a demand for such trai-
tors. The Farlows, Kings and Clarks must be
branded as such whether they be found in the
Republican or Democratic party. Nor does it
make any difference what be the position occu-
pied-Governor or assessor. Each has his re-
spoRsibilities and owes his particular duty to the
people The higher the office the less excusable
Is the nou-performance Of its duties TO the peo-
pie The policy Of THE JOURNAL. on matters
Of this kind has been so direct and pronounced
that it should by this time be fully understood
by everybody 1t will be adhered to strictly, and
neither threats nor promises can swerve us the
least from our course The traitor, corruption
ist and CRATER belongs to no party He is a
common enemy, and we shall always treat him
as such.

is made TO the court, but the court has nothing
whatever to do with the selection of the jury.
The names are selected and the list is made up
by the Prothonotary without any supervision Of
the court.
If any reason is needed for abolishng special
juries one can be found in the fact that those
defendants most frequently engaged in litigation
invariably rush in with application for such
jury And it stands to reason that they would
not do this and put UP the costs OF a special
jury unless they believed such course would be
greatly to their advantage and proportionately to
the disadvantage of the other side This plan Of
one party to a suit paying hundred and fifty or
two hundred dollars, for no other purpose than
to secure a verdict or disagreement is certain
ly mighty poor way OF attaining justice. We
are sure no other State is dsgraced by such an
infamous law.

THE oNE HoPE on LIE DEMOCRATS.

M AYOR DUNNE holds his grip upon the
4 Democratic organization of Chicago His
success shows the triumph of the radical wing
of the party 1t indicates in one isolated instance
that the mass of the Democrats still revcl in rad
icalism of sort that is unlikely to lead the
party TO triumph throughout the country. The
Democracy is divided with the Bryan ideas dom
inant. Mr.. Bryans newest notion, the govern
ment ownership of railways, has not made pro-
grcss as he expected. Few Democrats in Con
grcss, or out of it, indorse ownership would
agree to commit the party to that idea And yet
the Democrats, if they expect to hold their ranks
together, must cater to the radical elements in
the large cities and similar Populishc radicalism
in Western and some Southern States that have
been such potent force in the party But
when the Democracy bows to the radical wing
it exiles large and necessary conservative ele-
ment that must follow its banner if it hopes to
succeed. And should it lean to the conservative
side the radicals desert. Altogether the outlook
for national success Of the Democrats is not in
spring. Where it has made gains of late has
been in districts that have been dominated by
Republican bossism. Freed of the latter, the
Republicans 60 forward to victory.

Souvenir Postals and the Mails.


Editor The Evening Journal
The government has az last taken
steps to exclude a certain class Of SOU
venir postal cards from the mails and
I heartily approve Of the course. Those
postals which are beautifled with tim
sci and other material of the kind are
dangerous to those who have to handle
them. and the Postmaster General I'm
issuing the order excluding them from
the mail has only followed in the foot
steps OF the foreign authorities.
There is. however, another class or
postals OF the souvenir variety that
should also be debarred from the
mails. for. I'm my opinion, they are
obscene matter. In many show win
dows they are arranged very artisti-
cally. and while some people may
think them very nice, they are entirely
improper IN their character ana de-
sign. I hope this last order viii be
but the beginning Of more general
one that will follow in the very near
future so that the souvenir postals
win be soon placed on a basis that will
be fairly respectful. Respectfully
