which is a convenient unit. But mas
much as no special stamp is required
If is hardly to be expected that the in
crease of 25 per cent in the fee will
initiate against the patronage.
There is another possibility OF i'm
provement in the registry service. To
employ that means of dispatching a
letter now the patron must go to the
postoffice of one of its branches, Where
he will get a receipt. If it were pos
sible, by appropriately marking the
letter with the word registered to-
gether with the name and address of
the sender, and. of course. the affiXins
of necessary stamps, TO secure regis
tration through the ordinary letter
drop or mail box, probably the system
would be used by larger number than
ever before.

GOVERNOR HAY AND THE iNVES.
TIGATkON

| AS was to be expected, there are
some who are criticising Governor Hay
| for calling a meeting of the legislature
to investigate the office of Insurance
Commissioner Schiveley, some even go
ing so far as to intimate that the ac-
ton of the governor was simply an
act of persecution While others depre-
cate the tremendous financial loss in
volved in the transaction.
But the large majority of the right
thinking people of the state-and we
believe the majority of the people of
the state belong to this class-will
heartily approve this action of the gov
pense entailed and the desired end,
the removal of Schiveley, was not ac-
compkshed. When the honor of a great
state is at stake, the matter of few
thousands of dollars should not be cont
sidered for a moment. And if Governor
Hay. knowing as he did the conditions
that existed in the offices of the secre-
tary of state and insurance commits
sioner, had not insisted upon rigid
investigation and used all the powers
vested in him to remove the self con-
fessed grafters from office, he would
have been a traitor to the be st inter-
ests of the state and, hence. unworthy
of the high position into which he
has been thrust by Providence. And,
whatever else may be said for OR
against him, if all of his actions while
governor arc impelled by the same
high motives as this one, we believe
the masses of his party and of the vo-
tiers of the state will take pleasure in
giving him a positive evidence of their
endorsement of his administrator,
provided he should seek that endorse
ment. regardless OF what certain ward
heelers' and peanut politicians might
think on the subject. Governor Hay
is to be commended and the state to

REGISTERED MAIL

An effort has been made by the Dostai
authorities for some years to induce the
nubIic To use the registered letter sys-
tenn more frequently as means OF
carrying valuable mail packages. the
invitation freely displayed in post Of
fees to employ this method as secur-
ity against loss has been Literally &C
cepted. with the result of steady in
crease in the number of registered let
tiers and packages. Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock however, feels that this
branch of the service is not as effec-
tive as it might be, and that 1T is TOO
expensive in proportion. Consequently
a proposition has been advanced to IN
crease the fee from eight to ten cents
and to make other changes in the sys-
tenn. conference of officials has
been called in the hope of devising
WAYS and means of improving the reg
istry system and rendering it less of
DufQen upon the poSte'i ioNOiidCs'
If any way can be found to expedite
the delivery of registered mail one of
the chief objections against this branch
of the service now felt by the public
will be removed. While necessarily
the precautions taken to insure the
tracing of a registered package through
successive landings requires time and
thus put such a package somewhat be-
hind an unregistered letter. it some
times seems to the patron of the SER
vice that the delay is unnecessarily
long. In these times the demand is
for prompt deliveries and the pros
pect of losing half day or a day or
even more on a letter in transit in or
der to secure the benefit Of postal pro-
lection holds many from adopting this
course.
The advance of the fae from eight to
ten cents is not likely to deter a large
of former users of the regis
try system from cont luing its en-
ployment in the future. Those who
register packages do not, as rule,
care particularly about the fee. They
are seeking the quickest possible means
of dispatching a. valuable package and
choose the registry system rather than
the express, chiefly because of its
greater convenience, although the diff
ference between the express minimum
of twenty five cents and the registra-
ton fee is doubtless an inducement TO
many. The present rate Of eight cents
brings the postage and fee up to dime,
