When he came East 10 join the

had great speed and accuracy. He
at once became the Chicagos' main

SAVING THE PEOPLES MONEY.

Postmaster General Hitchcock
hns Just made public statement
which contains the interesting infor-
nation that bis department is MOI
only becoming self-sustaining, but
that this has come about entirely
through the Gaving of money by new
aad np-to-datc methods. The cost OF
operating the postal department has
Increased enormously Ia recent
years, but tAis cost has been more
than met by the reorganization on
the system. the discharge of al mere
hangers-on and political pensioners,
The adoption OF better office equip
ment and, In fact, bs a general clean
ing up Of the musty old department.
What has been accomplished IN
the postoffice department can be ac-
comnlished IN other departments OF
the government, The cleanup f'lan
was inaugurated by tresidenT faft
a few days after he took his oath OF
office The postoffice department was
chosen as a starter because II war
maintained al such a tremendous ac-
tuai loss To the government. II was
here that the demand or reform was
most urgent When the president APP
pointed Mr. Hitchcock postmaster
general il was with the instruction
that the entire postal service should
be recognized in the interest o.
economy, not by impairing the SER
vice. bur ty cutting off the dead
wood and adopting modern business
methods, During the last fiscal year
Mr.. Hitchcock returned to the treas
ury department about $4,000 900
that had actually been appropriated
for his department. He found when
he had cleaned house that he did not
need all OF the money that was COM
ing TO him. Not only has this crafty
ing condition OF affairs beei
brought about. but the postmaster
general believes the day is not fai
distant when the letter postage rate
will be reduced to one cent
Here 10 a record of achievement OF
which the president may be proud.
II should encourage him to press the
demand for reform in other depart
ments until the entire administrative
machinery il as up to date as any
modern business concern. Senator
Aldrich probably was not far wrong
when he said that good business

policemen held them at a distance.
Colonel Roosevelt sat with his wife
and children, Quentin and Archie.
Behind them sat Mr.. and Mrs. Mich
olas Longworth. Mrs. Longworth
wore a white chiffon gown, trimmed
with black and pale yellow, with
big black and yellow hat and pro-

gown of soft white satin and tulle,
richly trimmed with duchesse lace,
which had been worn by the brides
mother and grandmother at their we'd
dings. Her train was three yards long
and her veil fell to her waist.
The brides mother, Mrs. Henry Ad-
Olson Alexander, gave her away.
Mrs. Alexander wore a pale yellow
chiffon gown, with a Louis XIV train
of blue and gold brocade and large
hat trimmed with a single, very large
ostrich plume.
The matron of honor was Mrs.

weeks ago, when Miss Alexander was
maid of honor at her wedding.

groom was best man.
