The announcement that this years deficit is the largest in the history of the postal service ought to stinm. late some serious thought on this subject Last years loss was about slOOOO,OOO while this year 1t Is $l6,. s1O.27S.ss.
 There are now in operation more than 39.OOO rural routes, serving a population of lS,OoO,oOO persons, and should an average of 55 pounds of merchandise be carried by the rural carrier on each trip throughout the year 1t is estimated that $l5,oOO,oOo would be realized.
 This could be accomplished with little additional cost or labor to the rural carriers, whose carts now go comparatively empty.
 The farmer needs the service and the postotrice department needs the income.
 Every postmaster generals report in dozen years has contained an urgent plea for authority to establish  parcels service.
 The records of congress do not show why there has been no action, but common knowledge makes it clear.
 It is the influence of the express companies, directly, openly in the United States senate by the president of one company and in the house of representatives by agents of all the others.
 If congress ever becomes really sincere in it's war on monopoly, it can begin effective work by destroying this one, which not only dcprives the people of a long desired service, but robs the government of needed in. come.

THE END OF THE THAw CASE

Harry Thaw was yesterday fiber. ated from the asylum of the criminal insane of New York and the last chapter Of the sordid, yet thrilling tragedy has probably been written. Thaw murdered Stanford White near, ly two years ago-shot him behind as his victim was at play in a roof garden. Thaw's arrest immediately followed and then came one of the most remarkable trials in the history Of legal procedure.
 William Trayers Jerome, the bril-. liant and aggressive prosecuting at, torney represented the people. Thaw had an imposing array of counsel with the willy Dslmas at the helm There was no doubt about the mur. der. the task Of Thaw's attorneys was to show justification. They plead the "uuwritten law, and the beauti. luI Evelyn. Che cause of the whole scandal told a tale on the witness stand that caused strong men to weep. She may have lied, but her story was none the less pathetic.
 The jury disagreed and then the evidence was wearuy threshed over again. This time Delmas relied more on plea of insanity than on the uuwritteu law. The jury acquitted ::Thaw because Of insanity" and he was immediately committed to an insane asylum. He has been there until yesterday. Finally he was ex. omiued by lunacy commission and declared sane.
 Few people ever thought Thaw in- sane. He was an ignorant, head strong youth. wrecked by dissipation and vice. but never insane. He was acquitted on the "unwritten law" and the jury wanted an excuse to hide behind. Now he is free and proba- bly, most people are glad. He will murder no more. Long days spent behind the bars away from the seduc. lions of the Great White Way" probably have taught him there is more in life than wine, woman and song. He has learned his lesson.
 Stanford White deserved his fate. Whether or not the story told by Eve lyn Thaw was true; certain it is that White was ubertiue Of the worst order. that many young girls were enmeshed in his net Of vice, Such men are better dead and an occas' ional murder serves as a warning to their ilk.
 There is a moral to the affair It is this: Ignorance will not act as a shield to innocence. Wickedness and vice are real and potent forces They cannot be combated by ignoring them. Few youths of either sex would wufully choose the paths of vice did they know the certain ruin that awaits them. Teach the folly of vice. the wisdom Of virtue. Ignor, ance is responsible for most of the boys and girls who go astray. In a way. the Thaw case was an instruc- tive bit Of moral education.

MOTHERS DAY.

A proclamation, naming Sunday
May 9th, Mothers Day, has been
issued by Governor Glasscock. That
its observance will be widespread
there is no question, for there are
few, if any, who will not enter
heartily into this movement "to
pay tribute to the noblest and best
of Gods creatures-our Mothers"
The proclamation strikes a respon,
sive chord in the hearts of all. Cccs-
pliance with it entails no qualif~a-
ton of party, color, creed or condi-
ton. Neither does age or sex debar
from participation. Our churches
are making extensive preparations to
celebrate the day with appropriate
exercises, and our fraternal organi-
cations should lend a helping hand.

Under the Public Eve.

(From Fairmont West Virginian.)
The observed Of all observers and
the beheld of all beholders, the new
State Board of Control will be more
conspiciously to the calcium rays of
the public searchlight during the
next few years than any other Off
Gals In West Virginia. Their work
is new and their duties stupend0us,
hence the Importance of right be-
ginning. The people will watch
every movement and observe every
turn made by the new board. All
contracts OF any magnitude will be
published far and wide by the news
papers and it will hardly be safe for
any air OF mystery to pervade any
transaction. The people will want to
know who the bidders were and the
propositions of all contestants.
Everything will have to be open and
aboveboard and every deal be above
suspicion The people have the high
est confidence in the members Of the
new Doarf but SO intense is their
interest IN III. tina: the new order Of
things may BRING about that they
will be very curio2s rs t., details
IN all transactions. Taking care of
the financial interests of twenty
three State institutions is really a
large undertaking and the members
OF the board will have many things
10 learn before they get everything
in first class working order, The
new board will have to be doubly
careful also in that it will establish
presidents along many lines and pre-
cedents are hard to overstep some
times, even if they are bad, hence
the Importance of getting started in
the right way. 1t is fortunate that
the people have confidence in Gov.
Giasscock and the members of the
new board, otherwise they would be
uneasy over the welfare of the
States cherished institutions. It is
to be hoped that the Board of Con-
troll will come up to the public ex-
pectation in the performance OF it's
arduOus duties.
