THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1908.

The annual report of the United Sta
tes post Office department, which mas
been made public recently, shows a de-
felt of some $40, 600, 600.
In his report Postmaster GENERA
Meyer explains that large part OF 'he
deficit was due to the increase in pay
allowed various classes of employees
during the year. That does not explain
The entire loss, however, and 1T does not
account for the losses Of the department
in previous years. The explanation OF
the unfavorable results in the service Is
more fundamental than that In the
hearing before the Postal Commission
of Congress last year 1t appeared tha'
one of the principal avenues OF loss TO
the department lay in the loose methods
whereby mailcarrying contracts were
made with the railroads and in the ten
dencv Of the railroads 10 overcharge the
department. The showing produced
feeling that the contracting methods
needed a general reformation. The I'M
mense volume of deadhead matter sent
through the mails was also shown to be
another cause of waste. Tons of printed
matter is sent ont annually by members
of congress, for instance, for making
good impression upon the constituents
AT home. And there are other causes OF
the great cost Of operation and the loss,
whose elimination is wholly desirable.
Our rural delivery service is also
very expensive branch Of the depart
ment The fact remains that the sys'
tenn is not self sustaining that its opera
ting expenses fall millions below the in
come. Such state Of affairs Is sufh'
cisut Of itself to show unwise admins
tration. 1t is not the fault OF Postmast'
er General Meyer, vino is a man OF abil-
itv. but il il the fault Of generations OF
poor methods. which have generated
and tolerated unbusinesslike practices
and Improbable results.
one of these days there will have tc
be a radical reconstruction of the Amer
lean post office system Year by year
the demand for such revolution be-
comes more urgent 1t should have
come long ago.

Six Men Involved Draw
Suspensions for One
Year.

Cadets William T. Rossell jr., first
classman, and son Of Col William 7.
Rossell, OF the Engineer Corps Of the
army, and Harry 7. Weaver, first class
man. convicted Of hazing. have been
dismissed from the United States Mill
tary Academy upon order Of Secretary
Of War Wright.
The other six men involved with
Cadets Rosseli and Weaver, we're each
suspended without pay and allowances
until June Is. 1903 They are George
Washington Chase. IT,. Of New York;
James A Gillespie. Of Pennsylvania;
Byron Quinby Jones OF New York;
William Male, OF Virginia; William
Wellington Prude. Of Alabama, and
Isaac spaiding. Of Oklahoma.
This action by Secretary Wright was
taken upon recommendation Of 1oI.
Hugh /, Scott, superintendent of the
Academy, and with the approval Of the
President. Both the. President and
Secretary Wright were opposed 10 the
dismissals. and would have let Rosseu
ana Weaver of with a lighter sentence.
but Colonel Scott insisted that this
would ruin the discipline at the Acad-
envy.
In his report TO the President Secre-
tary Wright says that RosselI and
Weaver were confessedIy ringleaders in
the hazing, but that Weaver was not
quite as bad as RosseIl He SAID furth-
err that in view Of the fact that the
other six were but a short time out OF
the plebe class themselves and were not
as far advanced in wisdom and knowI-
edge Of the regulations as the other
men he thought that a years suspen-
sion was a sufficiently heavy punish
ment
Secretary Wright also called attention
to the fact that Congress failed TO de-
fine the Ofense Of hazing. and il was
necessary to depend upon the dictionary
for a definition. The charges against
the young men in question. he said,
could not properly be brought within
the definition bat they were severe
ofenses against the regulations.
