RURAL FREE DELIVERY By CONTRACT.
The commission appointed by the
last congress to submit general plan
for recognising and modernizing the
administrative machinery Of the Post
Office department announces that one
Of the subjects to be discussed will be
a proposition to place rural free de-
livery routes under a contract system,
the same as the former star routes.
1T is claimed" reads the announce
ment, that a saving OF $4,000, 900 per
annum could be made by letting the
carrying Of rural mail by contract, and
better service would be rendered"
This proposition is contrary to pub
lie sentiment and, we believe. to the
good Of the service. The country has
not forgotten the graft, ineompetency,
corruption and other Ills that developed
in the star route frauds which we're
stamped out about twenty years ago by
Postmaster General James and there
is no assurance that the adoption Of
the contract system for rural delivery
would not be a bid for the repetition
of that kind OF fraudulent and inefi-
Client service. The contract service in
postal delivery has always been marked
by inefilciency. The contracts have al
most invariably been secured after cut
throat competition and at prices which
made It impossible for the holder Of
the contract to render decent service
except at loss.
Under the present system, the rural
carriers are direct employees and ap-
pointees of the government, subject to
uniform regulations which require
honest and ehlcient service. The sue
cess Of the system has been abundantly
demonstrated and any attempt to inter
fere with It will be resented by the
patrons of the rural delivery service.
The present pay of the rural carriers is
not excessive by any means and the
public wants no cheapening of their
pay at the cost Of cheapening of the
service,

The conviction in the federal court
of three more cattlemen on charges Of
conspiracy to defraud the government
out Of large tracts Of the public do
main adds another chapter to the long
story Of land spoliation in northwest
ern Nebraska, The previous acquittal
of the last set of defendants up for
trial had inspired hopes in the others
under indictment, which will be heav-
lily shaken by the outcome of the cases
Just closed. When the biggest offend
ers we're convicted on conspiracy
charges last December, The Bee COM
mented upon the situation as follows:
These cattlemen now convicted are also
chiefly responsible for the failure Of all
legislation to relieve the situation. which
has so embarrassed the grazing interests
Of northwestern Nebraska. Instead OF try
ing to solve the problem they persistently
blocked its solution, confident that by con-
tinulng unchanged the laws which they
were recklessly violating they would con-
tlnue to have the use Of the public lands
without paying even rental to the gov
their evil example is to be ascribed the
plight in which the smaller cattlemen,
many Of them well intentioned, unfortu-
nately find themselves. With the law vim
dicated by the conviction of the big male
factors the public should be willing to see
the utmost leniency and mercy extended to
the little fellows, provided they will step
up and plead guilty without further ado.
Unbiased people will agree that this
was good and timely advice and the
law-defying land fencers who have the
penitentiary staring them in the face
doubtless wish now that they had fol-
lowed it, 1t is still good advice for
those who have not yet been tried, not
withstanding the possibility of an oc-
casional jury that will acquit or disa-
gree.

THE BRITISH PREMIERS.

Great Britain must be disappointed
at the results thus far obtained from
the conference of the premiers of the
colonies being held in London. The
conference was. called for the purpose
of discussing preferential tariff ar
rangements between the colonies and
the mother country, but up to date
nothing has developed that shows any
disposition on the part of the colonies
to enter into any deal by which they
would not be able to make as good
bargain with England as they could
with America or any other competitor
for world trade.
The discussion, which has been along
informal lines. has shown, also. that
the colonies are not paying much at
tention to the tie that binds them to
old England. This was clearly dem
onstrated in the address of Alfred
Deakin, the premier of Australia, who
bluntly stated that Australia was pre-
pairing for its own military and naval
defenses without respect to the mother
country, and had come to a realization
of the fact that the time was ripe for
independence. He emphasized the fact
that the problems of Australia were
not the problems Of the mother country
and would have to be settled by Aus
tralians in their own way. A little less
blunt, but equally to the point, was
the assurance of Lord Strathcona, the
Canadian high commissioner, that Can
ada was opposed to a preferential tar
m and was giving more attention to
trade relations with the United States
than with Great Britain. Sir Joseph
Ward, the premier for New Zealand,
made It plain that New Zealand, on
account Of it's distance from England,
could not give Great Britain any ad-
vantages which it could not grant to
other countries with which trade would
naturally be exchanged.
England apparently is slowly learn
ing the lesson that trade knows no
race, creed OF color lines. The market
man, national or individual, considers
profit and not sentiment in the vending
OF his wares, and England can get a
preference in trade from the colonies
only by offering better terms than COM
petitors.

Takes Himself Too Seriously.

1t Is much to be regretted that the aver
age college president takes himself 50. seri-
ously After all is said, his is a narrow
field of vision. He is a great man. chiefly
in the eyes of his undergraduates. The
atmosphere Of a college campus makes for
narrowness of vision. The class room is
pen into which students of various
compartments, mental capacity and stoical
indifference are herded at stated hours.
The college professor has his hearers at
the same disadvantage. that a parson has
after the congrega ton has gathered. It Is
bad form to 60 out in the latter case; to
leave means a demerit mark in the former
instance. The victims in both classes must
grin and bear what is handed out to
them"

NO CASH FOR A TITLE.

Theodore Perry Shonts, who made
something of a mess of matters during
his Craftsmanship of the Panama Canal
commission, has just figured in little
domestic episode well calculated to re-
store him to public favor. Mr.. Shonts
is millionaire, has handsome daugh-
ter and has been abroad a number of
times, thus paving the way for the in
ternational marriage which, it is now
explained, will not be consummated.
The society reporters of the east have
been busy for some time telling of the
attentions of Due de Chaulnes ct Chan
tilly to Miss Shonts and their engage
ment has been informally announced
several times. Mr.. and Mrs. Shonts
refused to deny the reports and when
they gave a reception to the duke the
other night 1t was expected that the
formal announcement of the engage
ment would follow.
But there has been a hitch in the
program. Several versions OF the story
have been given out, but Mr.. Shonts
refuses to confirm any of them further
than to declare that he refused to be
held up" The accepted story is that
Miss Shonts and the duke were con-
genial and the brides parents agree
able to the match and ready to give the
bride a brilliant wedding and a we'd
ding gift that would make the couple
comfortable for many years. The duke,
not satisfied, asked that an annual set
Element for life be made upon him and
that provision be made for the payment
of his debts. Here is where Mr.. Shonts
baked, and the duke has bolted.
The precedent established by Mr.,
Shonts is worthy of emulation. The
American girl who is to be exchanged
for a European title ought to have a
bonus instead of being required to pay
a premium.

The attempt Of the Illinois Central
to keep out of the Jurisdiction of the
State Railway commission on the pre-
text that It owns no railroad in Ne
braska will hardly hold water. It
should serve as a reminder. however,
that several railroads which, like the
Illinois Central, operate in Nebraska
over leased lines, have escaped assess
ment for taxation on their Nebraska
mileage by similar Actions. The cases
in question are respectfully referred to
the consideration of the State Board Of

Meantime 1t will not escape observation
that what especially endears Mr. Roose-
welt TO the masses of his party is his ag-
gressive championship OF the people against
the money power" as the populists used
to call II, or against 'the pmtocracy," as
the Bryan radical call II. Yet Il is a
fact OF considerable present moment that
to the populist appeal OF the early 'sOs

masses OF the eastern half OF the country
turned an absolutely deaf ear: and that

indehnable but perhaps none the less GER

topic for gossip. conversation and

ficlent to last through the summer dull

Postmaster General Meyer will be Mr..

be addressed as plain 'misters' instead
of by their high-sounding and pompous
titles" The order will doubtless meet

Grentest of Women.
Boston Transcript.

To invent an apple pie for the sake Of
cheering the heart or captivating the ap-
petite Of man will seem an unworthy ac-
complishment in the eyes of some who are
suspicious for the sake of the sex. Yet
It may be reflected that woman herself is
not insensible to the attractions Of a good
apple pie, and 1t is further to be borne in
mind that the invention of the apple pie
presupposes in the inventor virtues and
talents of the highest order. No mere
frivolous feminine or weak-brained woman
could have devised the apple pie. She was
without question a well-poised, clear-eyed.
clear-headed individual, with an intellect
for organization and a heart for noble
ideas. Nobody but the apotheosis Of
womanhood could have invented apple pie.
