There Are Said to be Other Aspirants

Washington, D. G., Dec. Is. Members
Of the Vermont delegation are very much
interested in the question whether Col
lcct0rs Of Customs Charles IL Darling Of
Burlington ana Curtis s. Emery Of New
port viii he reappointed upon the ex.
piration Of their first term Jan. l. This
question has been raised III Vermont
presumably N the interest Of other pros.
peetive candidates. The matter is now
under consideration BY the delegation
and will probably not be decided until
after the holidays Meanwhile the CON
gressmen, returning home, will have an
opportunity To ascertain the sentiment
of their constituents and neighbors. The
delegation is thought to be divided on
the matter at present.
The two Vermont coleetorships are
among the most desirable federal Of
fees in New England, They are said to
pay from $4,000 to $4,000 in salary
and fees each. Hence the question arises
whether four year tenure of office is
not sufficient,
in old DAYS the Vermont collectorship
lat that time there was only one
paid from $4,000 to $4,000 year and
the practice for many years was to let
q man hold The place during good be-
havior During the Mckinley admins
tration the state was divided into two
cnstoms districts and since President
Cleveland's retirement the practice has
been to permit the collector TO remain
in Office for eight years 50 that the Sc.
lection Of other men to succeed Messrs
Darling and Emery would be change

GENERAL DELIVERY EVILS

The general delivery department of our post office was originally intended for the conven- fence of transents, travellers and new arrivals in city. In this it was akin to the ''post res tante' service of continental European post offices, whose function is clearly explained by it's name. Today, however, these legitimate employers of our general delivery have come to be in the decided minority, and, what was originally a small department, has grown into astonishing proportions.
 Now the fact is that the majority of patrons of the general delivery are people who desire to conceal their place or residence or to receive mail under an assumed name That many of these are criminals or men and women of crim- inal or vicious intent, has frequently been dem onstrated and that much illicit correspondence is carried on by means of the general delivery Is also known.
 That the United States should innocently have become the means of fostering such dan gerous and undesirable communication is to be regretted all the more because 1t will be ex- ceedingy difficult at this date once more to re- strict the general delivery to its proper uses.
 The time has come when serious thought must be devoted to this end, and, not only be- cause of the moral aspects of the case, but be- cause of the constantly mounting cost of our postal service which can stand retrenchment wherever any branch does not meet legitimate need.

SWEARING FOR HEALTH

''Thou shalt not swear' is an injunction against good health, according to the dictum of a distinguished English physician. The Con tinent learned long ago from tourists that the British tub and the British oath travel together. The one is traditionally heralded as the hall mark of civilization The other is now pro- claimed as promoter and preserver of sound minds in sound bodies. This scientific advocate of round oaths pronounces them of psycholog
 teal and, therefore, of physical benefit. The emotions demand safety valve The English man may be phlegmatic but his stolidity may be upset by the failure of Partisan waiter to understand his insular French. In such emer- gency, service may be quickened and digestion promoted by an eXpletive that needs no inter
 preter The animals and birds furnish natural precedents All of them have their cries of anger. When British subject is annoyed. he suffers at once an ebulition of superfuous mental and physical energy His comfort and health, which in his own estimation are para mount, demand relief by some form of expres

THE CUBAN LOTTERY

There has been so much criticism in the Unit ed States of the establishment of the Cuban lot tery that Havana journals report with evident glee that Americans in Cuba have of late been receiving letters from friends and acquaint- ances in the states inquiring into the possibii- ties of obtaining lottery tickets. Prominent men in Havana whose names are known in the states are receiving similar letters from people whom they do not know, who take the liberty of writing to ask if you can give me the address of some one who makes business of selling lottery tickets" But facts like these form the basis of'a legitimate complaint The Cuban lot tery is sure to attract the attention of Amer- cans who gamble. It is possible to avoid using the mails in this demoralizing business. Trans portaton between Havana and Key West is quick and not expensive and there are express companies and perhaps available agents of per sonal communication by steamship between New York and the Cuban capital.
 Before sanitation was enforced, yellow fever in the ''pearl of the Antilles was a menace to health in the United States But the official Cuban lottery is a threat against American morality Our government authorities have succeeded in throttling this form of gambling, so far as it involves the abuse of the mails. Some special quarantine is needed against this revived vice. Like the exterminated fraud of policy, the lottery feeds especially upon the narrow savings of the poor The deliberate adoption of this mode of raising revenue by the Cuban congress is another indication of the
 long distance that Latin Americans sometimes must travel before they appreciate the Anglo Saxon principle of dscouragng, as against sound public policy, the opportunity to gratify the desire to gain, without rendering an equiv aIent in toiI

Had Dogs m New York.
 The new York department of agriculture has been devoting particular attention to rabies, There is now quarantine against the disease in six villages, ten cities and sixty towns. Dur ing 1908 and 1909 to date the agricultural de partment records show eighty-nine persons bit ten by rabid animals and considerably more than 100 animals. The separate record for New York City shows forty-six deaths from rabies. The state list of animals bitten does not include dogs, of which hundreds are said to have died of rabies, besides hundreds more that were killed because they showed signs of the dis ease, or had been exposed and so were killed las matter of precaution. All dogs that have bitten any one are kept under observation for twelve days If no symptoms of rabies appear it is then known that the person bitten IS ex- |empt.
