Belated Mail Service.

EDITOR PILOT:
The training school has always had
metropolitan daily, usually the
Sentinel but occasionally Chicago
paper. About six weeks ago the
school voted to change to the Chicago
Record-Herald. The uniform delay
of the mails has made it impossible 20
secure the paper on the day it is pub
lished and it has been decided to dis
continue its use. If we had a govern
ment that governs there would be no
such delay of the mails. The rail-
ways, receiving compensation several
times the value of the service rem
dered. are bound by contract under
heavy penalties to deliver the mail on
schedule time. The exaction of tht.
forfeit whenever there is needless
delay would soon secure prompt
delivery.
If the local postal maIagcment
were awake to its obligations, and re-
enforced by an active support of bust
ness men, speedy change would be
soon manifest. Tender solicitude for
over-paid corporations is entirely mis-
placed. If the trains can not make
time in the fairest weather that
generous nature can give, what will
they do when deep snow comes ?
Mail trains drawn by third class
switch engines without snow plows
are farce. Modern snow plows might
serve more useful purpose than on
an exhibit at worlds fairs. A snow
pillow of any kind is rare sight in
