NOTING the effort of the postmaster
general to cut down the postal deficit
of $40, 900, 900, the New York Tribune
says: ''The abolition of franks would
wipe out large portion of the present
annual deficit. Larger fees for regis
tered mail and an increase in the size
of packages carried in the parcels post
would probably put the service on a
self-sustaining basis. No program of
contraction in the rural free delivery is
advisable The extension of rural free
delivery has been one of the postoffice
departments most benefcent achieve
ments. To the nation as whole the
facilitation of communication between
cities and the country has been of
enormous value. The cost has been
small compared with the resultant
economic and social benefits. In that
branch of the service liberal outlay
now will bring ample returns in the flu
ture.

Eve and the Apple.


Princess Duleep Singh at dinner in
New York said that she found the
American woman a marvel Of beauty
and the American man model OF
good looks and kindness
1.-The American man" said the charm
ing princess, 'sis rightly held up to the
world as the pattern husband. In Eu-
rope they have a saying about Eve
and the apple which shows how
wretched a failure the European hus-
band is. This saying is unknown In
America. am sure. 1t would have
no point. no application. here in the
land of pattern husbands. The say
ing is this: The evil one didn't give
the apple to the man. but to the wom-
an, because the evil one knew well
that the man would eat it all him
self. but the woman would go halves

POSTMASTER GENERAL HITCHCo,

POsTMASTER-GENER HITCHCOCK
and President Taft have been consider
ing plans with a view to putting the
postoffice department on the paying
basis, at least, the postal deficit will be
substantially reduced. The deficit for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1908,
was about SIC, 100000. The figures are
not complete for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1909, but the postmaster-gen-
eral estimates the deficit at $50, OOO, 900.
The increase is supposed to be due to
extensions of the service and the bust
ness depression in part. The cumber-
some and expensive methods of handl-
ing the mail and doing postal business
are blamed for much of it. 1t is now
proposed to have every department of
the postal service thoroughly examined
by experts, with view to adopting
modern business methods.

FINAL arrangements are being made
by the state board of health to estab-
lish, in connection with the state n.y.
genie laboratory, an institute for the
Pasteur treatment of hpdrophobia, &C
cording to the latest issue of the State
Board of Health Bulletin, just issued.
The treatment will be given at the lab
oratory free of charge to INDECENT per-
sons, but small sum will be charged
persons able to pay for the treatment
in order to make the work as nearly
self-supporting as possible. The insti-
tute for the treatment of this class of
cases will be opened in few weeks.
Not only will.it be cheaper for Wiscon-
sin residents but its greater accessible
ity will be life and death advantage
in many cases, as the longer trip to
Chicago will be made unnecessary.

CONSIDERABLE discussion is going on
in the state press over the reasons why
the late state fair failed to make bet
ter financial showing. Milwaukee pap
ers insist the attractions as we'll as the
transportation facilities must DE I'M
proved and some down the state press
say there is too much politics in the
management. Country people are pref.
ty well convinced that the hotels OF
Milwaukee must be less rapacious and
the transportation means greatly in
creased before they can expect larger
crowds to visit the fair. 1t is barely
possible, too, that the state and county
fairs have outlived their usefulness as
educators of the public. IF the state
appropriations were withheld, how
many of these do you imagine would
survive?
