The writer Of the following letter

publican nominee for governor:
II beg to acknowledge recent of
Autograph of your nextsgovernor. the
Hon. William n Giasscook, and wish
to say 1t will not decorate window
pane but will find a prominent place
among my most. clierished posses-
'sions,, not on account OF his being
the Republican candidate for governor
Of West Virginia, but because I wen
remember him when I was a resident
OF Morgantown. how he always had
kind word for all regardless of their
financial, or moral standing. how he
through his kindness and advice has
helped to elevate the younger gener-
alton of Morsantown to higher
standard fife.
When I stop to enumerate the
good deeds of OF this West virginia's
noble and worthy citizen 1t is hard
for me to realize that there could be
other than an unanimous vote cast
for him in Monongalia county.
During campaign 1t is customary
for. the opposition to hunt UP all Of
the unfayorable circumstances cor
'nected with candidates past life,
(and there are few indeed. who es-
cape having some truth either large
or small forced upon them, but no
man can point out single act detrl-
mental to the character OF William
3. Giasscock, and I am OF the firm
opinion that God himself could not
find a blemish.
n enjoy very much reading the
reasons given why he should be elect
ed and while they are all good and
sufficient, the most prominent reasons
are given by George D. Heaton. of
Parkersburg. The white flower of a
blameless life is his.

POSTAL SERVICE
HAS BIG DEFICIT
Expenses Exceed Receipts BY Six
teen MiIIi0n-More Expense
Next Year.

washington, Nov. 30.-In his an
nual report for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1908, Postmaster General
Meyer gives the total receipts for the
year as $20S, 1851, 1886, thereby showing
. deficit Of s16.S73.222. the largest in
the history Of the department, with
an additional loss from fire. burglary,
ETC.. of 1866. The deficit of 1909, 1t
is estimated. again will exceed
sic, 100000.
The necessity for good roads is
pointed out in connection with the
development of the rural free deliv-
cry service. 1t is suggested that
should congress grant the depart
ment authority to utilize rural routes
still further by the establishment of
a limited parcels post, confined en-
tirely to rural delivery routes, 1t
would then be possible to earn addi-
tional revenue amounting to millions
of dollars and at the same time ben
eft the farmer by enabling him to
have, merchandise delivered when or
dred by telephone or postal card,
which otherwise would not be pur-
chased. "The special parcel post"
says the postmaster general, will
enable the farmers to have small
parcels delivered at their gates, to
live better and to obtain easily the
necessaries of life.r Permission is
requested to establish expelimentally
a limited parcel post in Mt y excesd
four counties in order to demonstrate
the practicability Of the PIN.
The postmaster neral again
urges legislation permitting the es-
Establishment of postal savings banks
|or depositaries in connection with
postofices.
Recommendation is again made
that the leave Of absence with pay
Fallowed by law to employees of the
postal service be increased from Is
to 80 days whenever the postal rev.
iennes warrant 1t.

topples are treated at length in the
