LETTER TO POSTMASTER FROM FOURTH
 ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL

In order to expedite the de- livery. collection, and dispatch of rural mail, enable rural car riers to cover their routes with celerity, and give the earliest possible service to patrons resid- ing on the far ends of the routes, the Department will insist that all rural mail boxes be so located as to be served with the greatest expedition.
 You are. therefore, directed to require each carrier at your of fee to submit to you without de- lay, for transmission to the De- partment, the names of all pa irons whose boxes cannot be served without leaving the road, dismounting, driving in deep ditches or on steep inchnes. or on or across railway tracks in- yolving danger, or the approaches to whose boxes are obstructed 1t is not required that any boxes shall be erected beside the wheel tracks, nor on any particular corner of the crossroads; but, they must be erected within the confines of the road, and acces sible, on any corner.
 It is not desirable that boxes be attached to telegraph, tele- phone. or eleetric-iight poles, or to fences or buildings, but boxes should be securely fastened to neat and strong posts firmly set at the side of the road, at a suf- ficient height to be served by carriers without rising from their seats or reaching through wheel spokcs.
 After boxes have been proper ly relocated, and it is practicable to curtail carriers schedules, postmasters will advise this office, so that changes in schedules may be considered.
 When roads are in bad con- dition, postmasters are directed to make report thereof to the Department, and to the proper local road officials and cooperate with them and patrons to fullest extent, consistent with position and duty, to secure the improve ment of the roads. The mani festation of interest and proper ly directed efforts by postmasters in the good-roads question will in many instances be productive of excellent results.

possible the Democratic victory Of last
November. He is the undisputed chief
Of the Democratic party today. In the
Seventeenth General Assembly which
expired at midnight and which was
elected for no other purpose than to
send to the United States Senate the
Speer candidate for senator, he defied
the Shafroth-Patterson combine in his
party and defeated each and every one
Of the pledges in the platform, which
had no part in the election and was
adopted to throw dust in the eyes of
the voters. All Of them went by the
board-the direct primary election"
bill, the Oklahoma bank guarantee"
bill, the railroad commission bill, the
public service bill. the headless ballot
bill, the Initiative and referendum"
and what not. The Speer construction
crews with the Speer steam roller flat
tened out his arch enemy on Welton
street and left Governor Shafroth in q
state Of confusion regarding that lux
try session.

moonlight night, good breeze was
blowing, and the Ajax got under way
with an unusual spread Of sail. AS We

Denver. The News Tuesday morning
prints the following:
After the Legislature had adjourned
without redeeming the Democratic
platform pledges. Governor shafroth
made the following statement to The
News:
Il will call an extra session. In com
mon with all the other candidates OF
the Democratic party, entered into .
covenant with the people of Colorado
last fall. So far as am concerned
that covenant must be carried out in
spirit and letter.
Il have not decided upon the date
for the extra session. That Is a mat
ter to be determined after I have had
an opportunity to consult with the
leaders Of the party throughout the
state.
1.-THE call will be issued at the pro-
per time, and the members Of the Leg
islature, after they have had an oppor-
tun,ty to meet their constituents face
to face, will be required to return to
Denver and consider all the platform
pledges.
Il want to thank the people of the
state, without regard to party. for the
splendid manner in which they have
supported me throughout this fight.
We have lost a skirmish. That's all.
The real campaign Is just beginning.
and It can have but one ending-a COM
plete triumph for the cause Of reform.
ut il not the first time that legisla-
tors have proved recreant to pledges.
It 10 not the first time that the lobby Of
the interests has proven more potent
than public sentiment.
ia Toilette, Folk and Cummins all
had the same experience. But they
won out in the end, Just as We are des.
tined to win.
Before the extra session convenes
We will carry this case to the people
to all the people, Republicans and
Democrats alike. They are all vitality
interested in this fight for reform. In
the past they have been divided
through the Vaccinations Of clever
bosses. but before we get through the
issues will have been made SO clear
that there will be just two parties in
