ID. NJ. Carr Addresses Letter Carriers
on Parcels Post.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. S.-One of the
features of today's session of the Ma
tional Rural Letter Carriers associa-
ton was an address by d. M. Carr of
Omaha, who has been prominent in a
movement to secure parcels post legis-
lation. He spoke on invitation of the
convention, his subject being Views
of an ordinary citizen on proposed
postal reforms
Mr.. Carr, on the matter of parcels
post as planned by the postmaster
general and presented in the Durham
and Kean bills, introduced in the last
congress- characterized them as among
the most important legislative meas
ures before the nation, and of which
the people in general are little in
formed. He showed by figures of cost
that the Burnham bill if enacted into
law would during the first year of its
operation make the rural delivery
part of the postal service self sustain
ing.
He said: There are more than
$4,000 rural carriers Each carrier to
deliver only four maximum weight
packages a day at the minimum rate
would more than cover the entire ex-
penSe of maintenance of the rural de-
livery service.'Sssst
He characterized the rural delivery
as worth to the government and the
people several times the cost of main
tenance even though the government
would have to bear all the cost. He
made the statement that the opposi-
ton to the proposals of the postmas-
ter general found its source in ar
organization that is intent upon gain
ing a one cent letter postage, which
he declared would cause millions OF
dollars annually in deficits.

Greece Makes Peace Overtures.
Constantinople, Oct S.-The Greek
minister to Turkey today presented
to the porte a communication from his
government announcing that the peo-

claimed the union of that island with
Greece. He assured the Turkish gov
eminent that Greece was not respon-
sible for the proceedings of the Gre
teams and expressed the hope that this
action would not disturb the present

powers. 1t is feared here that this
hope can hardly be realized.

CAR RAN INTO A TREE.
Auto Accident in Which Frank South
wick Is Hurt.

A big red automobile lying along
side of the Topeka avenue road about
a mile north of Pauline tells a story
of a fortunate accident, if any accident
can be so termed. Bee Smith, son of
Dr. Antoine Smith, president of the
Smith Automobile company, with two
friends started for the country for a
spin Wednesday afternoon.
They were running the car at the
rate of 35 miles an hour in the touring
car demonstration when a bolt in the
steering apparatus broke and the ma
chine made wild lurch for the side
of the road. 1t struck a large tree with
terrific force and turned turtle, scat
tering the occupants of the car, Bee
Smith Frank Southwick and Carl
Youngreen in three different direc-
tions.
Bee Smith, the driver of the car es-
capped with a few minor bruises; Frank
Southwick was thrown from the car
with such force that his right wrist
was broken and he sustained slight in
ternal injuries. The remaining occu-
pant of the car, Carl Youngreen, was
slightly bruised and the ligaments OF
both of his ankles were torn.
The car is a wreck and two of the
occupants are bruised and battered
and unable to leave their homes while
the third has not recovered from the
shaking up which he received. At the
rate of speed at which the car was
driven and the way that the accident
occurred the mystery is that all of the
occupants were not killed or badly in
jured. A relief party went out from
town and returned with the occupants
of the car and another car Will be SEM
out to tow the wreck of the big red Smith
car to the factory on Jefferson street

FORGET EVER WAS PRIMARY.
Registration for That Has No Effect
on General Election.

At the present time many inquiries
are coming in to the attorney generals
office asking whether a voter in a
city of the first or second class who
was registered for the primary cleo
ton, and voted at the primary, is
obliged to register for the November
election.
John Dawson, assistant attorney
general, has prepared an opinion on
the subject which is being sent to all
inquirers The substance of the
opinion is that the voters should for
get there ever was a primary, so far
as registration is concerned. Mr.. Daw-
son says:
THE primary election law has alb
solutely nothing to do with the gem
eral election laws of the state, and
consequently has naught to do with
the law concerning the registration of
electors in cities of the first and sec
ond class. The primary law requires
registration to vote at the primary,
but the general election laws do not
require one to vote at the primary in
order to vote at the general election.
The primary of August 4, was not an
election at all. 1t was just primary.
1.-THE registration law requires an
| elector to vote at each general cleo
! ton and to reside at the same street
number, or to re-register, but as the
| primary is not general election, 1t
| is of no consequence whether an elec-
! tor voted at the primary or not.
Putting this matter in another and
perhaps in simpler light, if a voter
| has not changed his residence and has
voted regularly at the annual city
elections in the spring and the bien-
| NAL elections in November, he does
not need re-registration. And as for
| the primary law-forget it, until the
time comes to nominate candidates
again.
