a HOLE in THE BUCKET.

One of the things congress should
give consideration when it comes to
consider the postal appropriations is
the big hole in the bucket thru which
ing custom enjoyed and marvelously
abused by those entitled to it's privi-
leges. When SAP, 0O0,O OQI Of postal APP
preparations. much more than it would
cost to double the free rural mail de-
livery, are used to carry "franked'
matter, the conclusion is irresistible
that the privilege is being abused,
The mails are burdened with an I'M
limited amount of matter sent to per-
sons who give its receipt no heed nor
pay the slightest attention to It's con-
tents. There is a broadcast distribu-
ton Of documents for which no re-
quest has been filed and in which few
people are interested. Cut it out, two
thirds of it, and save the money.
If we are to enter upon an era Of
economy the holes in the bucket should
be soldared up. One of the biggest and
most .wasteful noles : is the franking
privilege under which an Illinois sena-
tor is reported to have shipped mpst
of his household goods from Washing
ton to Chicago as free postal matter.

Il MIGHT Be Worse.

(Omaha World Herald)

(Off1aTld world
There is another way Of looking at
this divorce question, which the CEN
sus bureau has stirred up again. 1t
is the optimistic way. We've all been
pessimists on divorce. When the facts
are presented we hold up our hands in
horror. If we told the truth to our
selves, in strictest confidence of course.
we might have to confess that we
poked our hands up to express horror
whether we were really and actually
Mortified. or not. 1t seemed to be the
proper thing, and everybody else was
doing 1t.
But suppose we take a look at the
other side. "One marriage in twelve is
terminated by divorce" Now, instead
of saying "Scandalous!" wait a min
ute. Perhaps we might fittingly emerge
from the ashes and sackcloth long
enough to indulge in a little thanks
giving that 1t is no worse. One out
of a dozen failures is not such an
awful percentage after all. 1t is mar
rated that nineteen business enterprises
out of twenty fail ultimately. and still
we look upon business as pretty much
OF success. Why not be cheerful.
then. even about the 'divorce evil?"
Suppose there were only eight menu
bers of the United States senate who
were not honest and independent and
devoted to the public good exclusive
ly; wouldn't this American people with
one grand accord rise and hang a
palm of glory on the senate as being
the best we ever had? Think of eleven
out of every twelve members Of the
United States senate being what they
ought to be! Think if only one Ameri-
can city out Of twelve was misgov-
erned!
One in twelve Is not bad ratio. 1t
is hardly mere than an ordinary rate
of annual interest. A working man
who was idle only one day in each
two weeks would regard himself as
constantly employed. A stockman who
loses only one pig from litter Of
twelve gives himself credit for unusual
good luck.
OF the disciples Of Christ, the chos-
en- of the earth, one in twelve was
false-and it came near being one IN
six. In short, rated with other hui
man enterprises that contain an ele-
ment of hazard, the institution of
marriage appears to be holding Its
own fairly well, after all.

The work needs further support
There is demand for expansion The
field lies fallow. awaiting the sympa-
thetic touch OF the friendly legislator
and executor of the law. The plan has
been carefully drawn. The work is in
the hands Of exceptionally capable peo-

fully recognize the meritorious work
that is being done by Alice S. Tyler

them to create and set in motion this

Lacey had hut to defend within in

carry by assault. We, should hardly
class Kendall as weak man.
Good succeeded Robert G. Cousins.
The history of the struggle shows no
evidence of weak man. He won over
his democratic opponent by the usual
Fifth district majority. He won the

been classed as a weak man in any
