In a brief address before the members
of the North Capitol and lexington
Citizens Association last night cry
Postmaster BENJAMIN +. Barnes said
there had been much Just complaint
about the delay in the delivery or let

that the department had been unable

city.
before the resignation of Postmaster
Merritt application was made for more
carriers, but the POstoffice Department
never has taken any action in the mat
ter. Since assuming his present posi-
ton. Mr.. Barnes has been working Tor
additional men. Under the law, he
said. the carriers are allowed TO work
ONLY eight hours day. In the out
living districts their territory has in
creased to such an extent that 1t IS only
possible for them TO make two trips
during the day.
MIR. Barnes said the prospects were
bright for additional carriers at an
early date. and that he was paying
special attention to improving the ser
vice in every part OF the city
MIR. Barnes was elected 10 member

Prizes for Good Lawns.
T-pon recommendation of the execu-
tive committee, the association voted
three cash prizes to be awarded at the
end of the summer for the best kept
parkings and lawns in the territory.
The prizes win be S., s., and g. The
Judges will be selected from representa-
rives of the four Washington news
papers.
Similar action was taken by the asso-
citation last year. and it was found TO
stimulate considerable interest among
the residents of Bloomingdale and Eek
ingtou.
At the last meeting of the association,
the executive committee was Instructed

both street railway companies relative

1t was desired that the privilege be
extended 10 the Fourteenth street line
and that the transfers be issued by
both companies.
A letter from Gen. George II. Harries
of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company, stated he had the matter
under advisement, and if possible IA
vorabIe action would be taken
Another letter from George T. Dun
LOO, of the Capital Traction Company
said that he laid the question before the
board of directors. and that under nc
circumstances would the request be
granted.
This. Mr.. Dunlop said, was in view of
the fact the other company laid two
lines running parallel TO those of his
company, and that they practically COW

NPLAYING HIDE AND sEEk. ;,

The assertion made in public
speech recently by Justice David j
Brewer that President Roosevelt is
playing hide and seek" with the
| presidential nomination, sounds worse
| than Justice Brewer probably meant II
and because of the way it sounds, it is
calling forth considerable criticism OF
/ the author thereof. Many people
assert that a man occupying so high
a position as a Judge of the greatest
| tribunal in the world should be more
careful of his words than that.
From the bald assertion. taken by
itself, one would suppose that Mr..
Roosevelt is playing fast and loose
| with the nomination: it sounds like
an accusation of insincerity on the
part of the presidenr-pretendi to
refuse the presidency for another term
when ha really wants it.
Justice Brewer, however makes it
plain By his remarks that this is far
from his meaning. He gives Mr..
Roosevelt credit for sincerity He
says the president is an honest man;
but while he means it when he refuses
to be a candidate again. he would
nevertheless like to control the ma
tional convention and name his sue
cessor.
This may be true in a way-and the
president would not be fully deserv-
ing of the great confidence the Ameri-
can people have in him were it not
true. He is DESTROYS of naming a can
didate to succeed himself in order that
the next president may be man who
will carry out the reforms and policies
which he has inaugurated. and to that
extent he desires to control the ma
tional convention. Were he not to
throw his great influence in a prac-
teal way to continue the movement
for righteousness in government and
business affairs. he would be a dis
appointment to the public that be-
lieves in him. So it is hard to see
how it is any great crime on the part
of the president, even if he is guilty
of the charge made by Justice Brewer.
Still, President Roosevelt is play
ing hide and SEEK with the presiden-
tial nomination in another way. He is
earnestly hiding from it. while a con-
siderable element of the people of
this country are seeking him just as
earnestly to fasten the Office on to him
for another four years. This phase of
the hide and seek business is no fault
of Mr.. Roosevelt Sunless being such
a good president that the people dis
like to see him retire. is a fault.
No one, however, can truthfully ac-
cuse the president of seeking to con-
troll the next Republican national con-
vention from an ordinary politicians
motives-simply to get power for
powers sake. President Roosevelt |
does not need to do that.
