diction that certain rOadbeds on
the Missouri Pacific system are
in such a bad condition as to
render the operation of trains on
them a dangerous employment

journeys most hazardous for the

1t is the duty of the commits
sioners, under the law and under
their oaths of office, to rectify
these conditions and to see to it
that the public has safe means

has not done. The evidence
necessary to hasten the boards

gratuitously by The Post. The
uncOntradicted testimony has
been handed to the commission
on silver platter.

things that were learned by a
staff representative of The Post,

the importance of the situation
and issue the necessary orders.

it nevertheless causes joy

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.

There is a great deal of talk il
favor of free mail delivery II
Lexington and some quiet talk
against it. The Daily Advertiser
has issued an invitation for anv

state his views, but so far no one
has evinced desire to break into
print on the subject.
One is led to believe that
there is no real strong argu-
ment against free delivery. The
notion that it would facilitate
business for mail order houses
is bizarre. Most of the heavy
mail order business in town is
done through the express com
panies and parcels that are sent
through mail are light and would
IN no case inconvenience the re-
ceiyer, who now goes to the post
ONCE once or more times a day.
Some merchant might say that
people come to town after the
mail and often buy things in
cidentally which they would not
come to town for. But nearly
everyone of this class has bust
ness of some kind down town
every day and what business
would be lost in this way would
amount practically to nothing.
When | want my mail I can
go get it without any trouble, p"
objects another. That is true
for all of us who spend the day

The President is not in favor
of having Oklahoma a state now

is doubtful if he will have the
heart to turn the new state down

indicating that immediate state
hood is wanted.
The election itself was by no
means ideal. Haskell was not

He was fortunate, though, in

Governor Frantz is pretty well

his being a beneficiary of the pie
counter does not make for him
enthusiastic admirers.
He did, however, run ahead of
his ticket.
