POWERS GREATER
THAN CARS.
Champ Clark Would Curb Post
Office Department.

Washington, March TO- Champ
Clark, of Missouri. declared in the
House today that legislation should
be passed by Congress curbing the
powers of the Post. Office Depart
ment. That department of the
Government, he said, in the last
four or five years, has exercised
powers that the Car of Russia
would not dare to exercise.
by issuing an order the Post
Office Department can ruin the bus
mess of any man in this country,
and there is no appeal from that or
der" exclaimed Mr.. Clark. Con
gress ought to pass law on that
subject something like this: That
the Post Office Department, after a
hearing, shall have the right to is
sue fraud order and then the in
jured party shall have a right 10
appeal to court and have iudic-
ial decision on it."
Mr.. Clark made his remarks dur
ing the consideration of the postal
appropriation bill. He asked some
pertinent questions for Chairman
Overstreet of the House Committee
on Post Offices and Post Roads, to
answer:
Il would like to inquire" said the
Missourian, where the Post Office
Department got its authority to is
sue this ukase that subscriptions to
have to be paid in advance after
the first of April or the papers can
not be carried at the usual rateS"
The chairman was unable to give
a complete answer. He said it was
under the authority Of the statute
that all regulations relative to sec
ond-class privileges are issued.
Another question by Mr.. Clarl
was:

Lesson In Driving.

How many citizens and farmers
who have been accustomed more
or less all their lives to driving can
drive a single horse or team
down Main Street and then guide
horse or team around a corner or
turn them into an alley properly?
Now don't all say can, for three
fourths of you including the deliv-
cry boys either cannot or will not.
Why? Go look at the cement
crossings over the cutters. Go look
at the corners of the cement walks
at the alleys and you will find the
crossings over the cutters Clipped
and six or eight inches of the cor
ners of the walks worn away.
Then watch the driver and you
will see him begin to turn his horse
or team thirty to fifty yards before
reaching the corner or alley and
you will often see the front wheels
90 bump and more often the hind
wheels 90 bump on the crossing OF
alley corner.
1t is hard on the vehicles, on the
harness, on the horses shoulders, on
the little culverts not made fol
WAGONS and hard on the walks.
