Governor HaskelI's last letter to

the president is a continuous fusi-
lade Of hot shot which will make an
Impression on the voters unless Mr..
Roosevelt can successfully controvert
them. Haskell fights like an honest
man, and we believe he would be
justified In making the presidents
letter on the importation Of liquor
into prohibition states public. since
the president has not hesitated to
attempt the assassination Of his
character. There is one thing GER
tain regarding the controversy which
Mr.. Hearst has precipitated: the peo-
pie are learning that there are many
things done In official life which will
not stand the spotlight and prove
creditable 10 the participants. Roose-
Welt is discredited. Foraker Is dis

innocence. Foraker virtually admits

Representative James Il. Lloyd, of
Missouri. chairman Of the Democratic
national congressional committee, on
March TO- 1905 exposed the hagrant
theft Of the peoples money through
the unfair weighing Of mails when Of
iiclal tests were made 10 determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
Mr.. Chairman, in delivering my ad.
dress q few days since on postal con-
dltions, in discussing the lnterpreta.
ton Of the law as TO the weighing OF
the mail, I failed to state the law on
the subject, and | wish to do so now:
The average weight to be ascer-
tanned, In every case. by the actual
weighing OF the mails for such a num-
her OF successive working days, not
lesg than thirty, Mt such times after
June 30, 1873, and not less frequently
than once in every four years.
Later the time was changed to
ninety days. Otherwise the law has
not been changed TO this date.
Until March 2. 1901, the depart.
ment required the mail to be weighed
for ninety days Sunday was not con
sldered. so that the weighing covered
period Of one hundred and Ave days

as correct for over thirty years ana

"'fhat when the weight OF mail IA

YOU can readily see. would give less
