An r. F. DPS Advice TO His Patrons.

The first is, keep the snow shoveled
away from the boxes and Off the tops.
Put the stamps on all the mail you send
and do not leave pennies in the boxes for
the carriers to hunt out of the snow and
freeze his fingers. Just think of your
self and how would you like to be out all
day and never warm your fingers once
aud then handle snow and dig for pennies.
Please buy stamps. Do not bother car
rers with small packages unless the nee
essary stamps are attached 10 them.
Don't bother to ask them every day for
the correct time; he don't like to unbutton
all his coats just to see what time it is,
for then he gets cold to travel the rest OF
his journey.
Don't expect ride when he is on duty,
for his horses are tired and need rest.
Don't stop him on the road for your mail
unless it is absolutely necessary, for he
has your mail packed so it will come
handy when he arrives at the boxes for
which it belongs. Remember, the most
OF all, if you want your mail delivered,
see that the roads are kept in good condi-
ton and free from snowdrifts. Ask your
supervisors and tell them to make ar
rangements to keep the roads in passa-
BILE condition the year through. This is
duty of yours and not of the carriers. If
the roads are not kept open the depart
ment will stop the service and you will
have to go to the postoffice for your mail.
Don't think that because you have
mail carrier that he must do just as you
want him to do; he has his laws to go by
and he has TO obey them or get out of the
service.
Keep the wagons out of his way where
he drives up to the boxes, for he is for
hidden to dismount to deliver and receive
mail matters, and in such case is ordered
to take the mail back to the office.
Weigh all the packages you send and
attach the necessary stamps before you
offer them to the carrier.
Write your letters before the carrier
comes in sight and have them in the box
ready to go so as not to keep him waiting,
for he is not allowed to wait for them.
The carrier sells stamps. Take half
dollar to the carrier and get stamps, and
then put one on every letter you write;
don't think that the carrier will always
take your pennies, for if he happens to
freeze his fingers he may get provoked
and leave you with your pennies.

TIE leading candidates for President
are a pesky lot. The Boston Journal
says: "Joe Cannon smokes and swears;
Charlie Fairbanks takes an appetizer;
Bill Taft sits on the lid when req uested

Hughes consumes half dozen fat, black
25-cent cigars day, and scales Matter

THE New York Tribune very truly
says that it is to be hoped the present
Tbaw trial will be conducted with less
regard to certain public appetite for
sensationalism than was the last. A trial
is conducted primarily to obtain justice,
not to afford field for the posturing OF
counsel. The previous hearing of this
case created uniayorsble comment
throughout the whole world upon the
operation of our criminal trial system.
1t is incumbent upon Judge and counsel
alike to see to it that no such impress ion
is created this time.

A Lesson in Economy

A comparison of the tax rates OF
the different counties of the state dur
Ing Republican and Democratic ad-
ministrations Is about as good a les
son In the result OF economic manage
ment of State affairs as can be found.
This comparison will show that the
tax rate has declined steadily ever
since the Democratic party took con
troll of State affairs and it can be
said and proved that the wealth oil
the State has risen ove 100 per cent
during the same period.
An axiom of tax fixing Is that as
values increase rates should decline
but while the Republican party was In
power this was not true for 1t was not
until after the Democratic party had
been In power for nearly two years
was there any appreciable decline In
the rates.
In 1887, during the administration
of Governor Stevenson, (Republican)
after a succession Of Republican ad-
ministrations, the tax rate by counties
was
Churchill County. $40; Douglass
County. $40; Elko County. $1.OO;
Esmeralda County, $2.70; Eureka
County, $1.75; Humboldt County,
81. 0 Lander County, $50; Lincoln
County, $2.70; Lyon County, $2.1O;
Nye County, $2.55; Ormsby County,
$1.65; Storey County, $1.90; Washoe
County, 5000; White Pine County,
$2.S5.
From 1895, when the Democrats
again resumed the management OF
State affairs the rate has declined
steadily despite the long years OF
business depression noticed up to
1900, and the decline has persisted
until the present day.
