When a man has finished reading
his morning paper he fels that the flu
ture of America depends on the cleo
ton of the candidate to the presiden-
cy That's where the country has the
joke on him.
1t doesn't seem so today, but the
fact is that no matter who is elected
on the third of next month bacon
won't go up or down a cent a pound.
The price of potatoes will remain
about the same, and there will be
about the same bad ones to the bushel.
The coal man will continue to give
what he calls 1000 pounds for a ton,
and if you can't find over 1900 pounds
don't lay it to politics. The coal man
is never a politician. He is simply an
absent-minded man.
Gas bills will be no higher or lower
no matter who wins or loses. The
gas companies have got a good thing
of it, and care more about long nights
than the presidency.
Anyone who thinks the hens of this
country are waiting with bated breath,

BECAME PRESIDENT

times the pleasure l would have in ac-
cepting the appointment, if | could do
so. The chief reason for my hesita-
ton was the condition of matters IN
the War Department, including che
Philippine and Panama canal bureaus.
With respect to the Panama matter,
| have no doubt that Mr.. Root, to
whom you proposed to transfer super
vision of the canal commission, would
do the work better than l have done
it, or could do it. or course, we will
still be the subject of attack for what
has been done, and l could, perhaps,
meet the attack better than any one,
because of my familiarity with what
has been done; but that consideration
would not be great enough to require
me to sacrifice my ambition to go on
the bench, or to risk the chance for
doing so.
DESIRES TO HELP FILIPINOS.
Il have been connected with the ad-
ministration of civil government in the
Philippine Islands since February,
1900. Much of what has been done IN
working out the problem and carrying
the burden thrust upon the United
States l am more or less responsible
for. Rightly or wrongly, the people
of the islands, and especially those
who have been most anxious to make
our government a success there, have
confidence in my earnest desire to help
the Filipino people and my willingness
to do everything l can to secure them
prosperity, peace and gradual extern
sion of self-government.
ut is the necessity one is under in
carrying on such public business or
securing witnesses and establishing
evidence in respect to each thing done
corrupt motive which makes adminis-
trative work under conditions of parti-
san politics so irksome to me. But,
of course, it is part Of the burden one
assumes, and it is cowardly to run
away from it when one is in it.
WOULD PREFER THE BENCH.
81 know that few, if any, even among
my friends, will credit me with any
thing but a desire, unconscious per-
haps, to run for the presidency, ana
that l must face and bear this mis-
construction of what | do But am
confident you credit my reasons as
give them to you and will believe me
when | say that | would much prefer
to go on the Supreme bench for life
than to run for the Presidency, and
that in twenty years of judicial SER
vice l could make myself more useful
to the country than as President, even
if my election should come about.
please do not misunderstood me to
think that Lam indispensable, or that
the world could not run on much the
same if | were to disappear in the st.
Lawrence river. But circumstances
seem to me to have imposed something
in the nature of a trust to me person
ally that / should not discharge by
now succeeding Justice Brown. In the
nature of things, the trust must end
with the administration, and one or
two years is short to do much Yet the
next session of Congress may result
in much tor the benefit of the Filipino,
and it seems to me it is my duty to be

elected, is all wrong. They are just
laying off now to hustle by and by.
There are those who look to see but
ter go to so cents a pound in case the
right man is not sent TO the White
House You have only to interview
half a dozen COWS to be convinced to
the contrary.
A man in Iowa predicts earthquakes
in case of the election of a certain
candidate. Don't let this disturb you
in the least An earthquake now and
then keeps the soil stirred up and mel
low, and is always followed by large
crops. Who'd pay money to go to the
theater when he can have a little
earthquake right at home free of cost?
The country is going to be saved as
usual, and continue to do business at
the old stand, and if the cranberry
crop is small and the price high we
must eat more dried apples and be
glad that we are alive.

POSTOFfICE REPORTS
BUSINESS BOOMING
Sale of Stamps, as Compared with
Last Year, Shows Decided Inc
crease-Daily Callers Ex=
ceed Four Thousand

Among many other indisputable evil
dences of the rapid growth of Los An
geles may be cited the enormous in
crease in the postOffice business, both
in the general office and at the various
sub-stations. For instance, during the
month of October of last year the sale
of postage stamps amounted to $685.
59551, while the sales for the month
just closed reached the figure of $685.
65764, an increase of $6,062.13. For the
last month the number of callers at the
general delivery window, exclusive of
Sundays, amounted to a daily average
of 4134. The total number of changes
of address filed was 1880
The number of pieces of mail reach
ing the local office during October that
bore insufficient or incorrect addresses
amounted to 394, 34S, and of these 49,
sos were sent to the general delivery to
await call, 155,949 were delivered by car
riers and 46,84S were forwarded to
points outside the city.
In looking for the correct addresses
of persons the officials refer to all the
directories, and every effort is made to
find the parties to whom mail is sent.
Nevertheless the person who does not
take pains to address mail properly is
taking his own risk as to its delivery.
Although Uncle Sans postal system is
a good one it cannot be responsible for
the thousands of absent-minded and
careless citizens who seem to persist in
mailing letters and packages un-
stamped, unaddressed or improperly ad-

pavilion held a crowd of about 25O0
persons last evening while special dis
patches of The Herald told of the re-
suits of the election in all parts of the
United States.
1t is to be regretted that at the very
moment when the returns began to ar

the wires of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany to ground at some point between

that the service was put entirely out OF

disappointed at being thus deprived OF
the later detailed accounts from other
cities, enough messages were brought
in over the long distance telephone to
enable everybody to learn to GER

leaving for the night.

Abbot Kinney company played

Referring to Election
Returns
IBy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-The presi-
dent was very cheerful today and told
the newspaper men that the election
Of Mr.. Taft wholly carried out a pro-
phecy made by him in letter written
to Senator II. c. Lodge of Massachu-
setts, dated October 26, 1908.
In this letter the president said:
east of the Alleghenies l believe we
shall have a larger popular plurality
than four years ago-in other words,
that Taft's plurality will be greater
than mine and I think that our cleo
toral vote will be larger east of the
Alleghenies than four years ago, be-
cause l think the chances slightly favor
us in Maryland, although this repre-
sents a good deal of guesswork.
West of the A1leghenies l think we
shall see a heavy falling off in the
majorities as compared with 1904, but
1 do not anticipate the loss of any cleo
toral votes, excepting in Missouri and
Nevada, and 1 am inclined to think we
have an even chance of carrying Ken
lucky"
The president said that there seemed
to be some doubt through the country
concerning the meaning of the word
"frazzle," which he used recently in
connection with the campaign by say
ing, We've got 'em beaten to a fraz-
zle." He explained that it was a COM
mon word in the south and he had
used it when he was a boy
ITO those who do not know what I
meant" said the president, "the best
definition I can give of the word is to
refer to the election returns"
