WASHINGTON, December TO-
Politics, past, present and future, was
the dominant note at the annual fall
dinner of the Gridiron Club tonight.
President Taft was there with mem
bers Of his Cabinet, Vice. President
Sherman, Senator'S and Representa-
t!ves in Congress, latent Presidential
possibilities, newly erected Governors
of States and men of mark in various
positions and of all shades of political
belief, and ambassadors and Mini
tries. who we're numbered among the
sters plenipotentiary of foreign coun-
clubs guests, heard with wonder the
good-natured grilling administered by
, the newspaper men to their victims.
With tableaux and comedy sketch and
topical songs, in clever speech and
moving picture, the incidents of the
last campaign were recalled and from
forecast made of the future.
And right wittily and with many
scintillating thrust of oratory did
the objects of this attention retort
upon their tormentors. Forgotten for
the moment were party differences;
victor and vanquished Joined hand
and glove in repelling the attack of
their critics.
JOE CANNON SWEPT ASIDE.
Clearing the way for the incoming
Democracy, Uncle Joe" Cannon was
swept aside and in a skit embodying
parody upon the Mikado, he was
sentenced to decapitation. 1t was left
to him to select his executioner. Victor
Murdoch he declared was too hasty,"
while he feared Senator La Toilette
would talk him to death. The man he
selected was of strong arm and sure,
an old friend was "Ko Ko" Long
worth. Just in the nick of time,
President Taft, in the person of the
Mikado, stayed the hand of the exc
cutioner and committed Uncle Joe's"
sentence to staying in Congress as a
helpless minority, ana to being chain
ed to his seat during the debate on
the House rules. The catchy chorus
of the Mikado's song ran:
My smile is still serene,

No matter how they may jump the
track and batter the old machine.

NEW SPEAKER ON THE SCENE.
A furious cracking OF whips and
clanking of chains, and roars of "Ged-
dap!" and stamping OF hoofs signal
lied the approach of a tumultuous
party from outside. 1t portrayed the
| redemption of Champ Clark's famous
anti-election pledge to ride down
Pennsylvania avenue behind team
of mules if he were elected Speaker.
The actor who represented Mr.. Clark
was clothed in farmers costume with
big whip, overalls, wide felt hat and
hickory shirt. He was riding a two
! wheel cart, cracking his whip and
shouting at his mules, cnristened Bob
and Fritz. Dragging behind in heavy
chains were Cannon, Dalzell and
Payne. At every other stop the eX-
Speaker yelled defiantly "Dictatcr!'
"Czar!"
Ollie James introduced Clark as the
new Speaker, and the latter promptly
sentenced his prisoners to various
punishments, such as the assignment
of Cannon to the craftsmanship of the

Postal Deficit Gut
Down By $11,5OO,OOO

WASHINGTON, December lin
the space of twelve months a reduc-
tion has been made in the deficit Of
the Postofice Department of 11,5O0,-
900, according to the annual report
of Postmaster General Frank II.
Hitchcock, made public today.
While a year ago the fiscal records
Of the postal service disclosed def
icit of $17,5O0,OOO, the largest in the
history of the country, the excess
of expenditures over receipts for the
year ended June both last amounted
to only $5,s4S,566. In commenting
upon this reduction Postmaster-Gene-
raj Hitchcock says in his report:
1T is most gratifying to report that
this unprecedented reduction has
been made without any curtailment Of
postal facilities. On the contrary, the
Service has been largely extended.
1.-THE policy of the present Admin
stration has been to wipe out losses
by increasing the postal business
along profitable lines, and while thus
enlarging the departments income to
reduce as far as possible the rate Of
expenditure by cutting out wasteful
processes, by simplifying and render
ing more effective the methods of
handling postal business, and by rails
ing to the highest possible standard
the efficiency of officers and en-
ployes."
SERVICE is EXTENDED.
The departments policy is to extend
the service as rapidly as is warranted
by increasing population. In further
ance of this policy 1900 new postof-
fees were established during the last
year and SIS new rural delivery routes,
traversing altogether 1926 miles,
were instituted. Nearly 5000 new en-
ployes of various classes were placed
upon the rolls of the department,
whose aggregate salaries were more
than $2,000,000 annually. In addition
to this sum $1,75O,OOO was added to
the salaries of postofice clerks, ST.
$4,000 to the salaries of letter car
riers and $25O,OOO to the salaries of
salary were based upon efficiency
ratings.
In the discussion of second class
mail Postmaster General Hitchcock
points out the constant growth of this
class of matter 1t is carried at loss
and he urges that remedy should be
promptly applied by charging more
postage.
In levying the higher rate" the re-
port suggested, cit is believed that a
distinction should be made between
advertising matter and what is termed
legitimate reading matter.
Under present conditions an in
crease in the postage on reading mat
ter IS not recommended. Such an in
crease would place a special burden
On a large number of second-class
publications, including educational
and religious periodicals, that derive
little or no profit from advertising.
1t is the circulation of this type of
publication which aids so effectively
in the educational and moral advance
ment of the people, that the Govern
ment can best afford to encourage. Foi
these publications, and also for any
other legitimate reading matter in
periodical form, the department ia
vors continuation of the present low
postage rate OF 1 cent pound, and
recommends THAT the proposed in
crease in rate be applied only to ma
gazine advertising matter.
"In view of the vanishing postal

led by Ollie James. Clark undertook
to define his policies, but had only
got to the point where he declared
for free trade when the party broke up
in row.
MISS DEMOCRACY HARD TO
PLEASE.
Few of the guests at first could
recognize the dainty little lady Miss
Democracy" in the brawny, big-mus-
cled, large-waisted and brass voiced
female in evening dress who occupied
in solitary state the place of honor
of the Democratic band wagon which
drove upon the stage. Hanging on
were various candidates for the Pre-
sidental office, but the lady, while coy,
was also firm in her attitude and pre-
scented a face of flint to her suitors.
She announced that she was not a
simpering old maid, but was militant;
that she was taking this joy ride for
the first time in sixteen years and had
chartered it for quite a spell, too.
When the President sought to expel
her she defied him, saying that he
talked like T. r. before election
day."
At the critical moment Governor
JudsoR Harmon came to the rescue
and climbed into the band wagon.
When his right was challenged, he
declared that he was the logical can
didate, the friend of the masses, and
the classes were friends of his. But
Miss Democracy decided that he
would have to wait for two years to
see what he could do with a Demo
cratic Legislature, so Harmon climbed
down.
Dix was the next aspirant for favor,
claiming his seat by virtue of a tic
ket bearing Co. X" by Charles F.
Murphy, and because of his versati-
lily, but Miss Democracy insisted that
the trouble with the Democratic
party for the past twenty-five years
was that it had been too ID ver-
satile," and Dix was thrown off.
NO ROOM FOR BALDWIN
Judge Baldwin made an effort to
climb into seat on the ground that
he was great legal light, but Miss
Democracy asked: What has law got
to do with the Democratic party. The
Republicans made all the laws. We
are going to make new Ones" and OFF
went Baldwin.
Foss had no better luck when he
tried to "butt in," for the best That
Miss Democracy would promise was to
look him over after he had gone out to
save Lodge.
Woodrow Wilson had his turn on
the strength of being the national
voice" but Miss Democracy said that
what was wanted was a national
silence" while as to his claim of Vir-
ginia birth, she said, You shook your
mother at an early age. Get OFF"
Her demand for some better quail
fications than whiskers sent Kern to
the right ABOUT, and when Folk en-
deavo"ed to board the vehicle with an
Endorsement from Bryan he was hit
over the head with a stuffed club
Bryan was ont even allowed to set
foot on the wagon step, and as the
various candidates were quarreling
among themselves, "Wall street." per-
sonified by portly gentleman in silk
hat wearing much jewelry, settled the
matter by dragging off Miss Demo-
cracy with the declaration that 81 am
the person who will decide who'll ride
on that wagon"

deficit, 1t is believed that if the maya
zines could be required to pay what
it costs the Government to carry their
advertising pages the departments
revenues would soon grow large
enough to warrant one-cent postage
on nrst-class mail.
While the loss resulting from the
low postage rate on second class mail
is the greatest in the postal service
the loss on rural delivery service is
very considerable. The appropriations
annually granted to maintain the
rural delivery system, however, as
pointed out in the report, are expend-
ed in the interest of a vast population.
Hitchcock urges the wisdom of a fur
Their extension of this system, even
at a considerable loss to the Govern
ment.
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Hitchcock reviews the work already
accomplished looking to the establish
ment of postal savings banks. A
trial Of the new system will be made
beginning on January 1, 1911, at one
rostoffice in each state and territory
of the Union. The amount appro-
priated by Congress for this trial was
100000. All of the Offices selected
for the trial are Of the second class,
wage earners being particularly bene-
flied. 1t is expected that the new
postal savings system will be extend
ed to many other offices before the end
OF the current fiscal year.
A renewal of the previous recon-
mendation for limited parcel post
service on rural routes is made. Hitch
cock expresses the hope that Congress
will authorize the delivery on rural
routes of parcels weighing as high
as eleven pounds. This scheme can
be put into operation with little if any
expense to the Government.
"A recommendation is made that
Congressional authority be given the
Department for the issuance of postal
notes in amounts not exceeding $40
at a lower fee than is charged for
money orders.
Hitchcock believes that many
abuses of the ranking system could
be prevented with marked economy
by supplying special official eny iopes
and stamps for the free mail of the
Government.
1t is Indicated in the report that
the crusade by the Postofhce Depart
ment against the fraudulent use OF
the mails has been pushed with great
vigor. During the last few months
the principal officers of thirty-four
corporations and firms have been
placed under arrest for swihdling the
public by this method.
1T is estimated" the report says
that the eighty important cases re-
Gently brought to a head represent
swindling operations that have filched

a decade fully $1OO,OOO,0OQ
ELIMINATION OF POLITICS.
Hitchcock strongly urges that the
entire postal service be taken out OF
politics.
In conclusion Postmaster General
Hitchcock expresses the hope that
Congress will see it's way clear to gra
an annual leave of absence of thirty
days to postoffice clerks, city letter
carriers and to railway postal clerks
who are required to work six days OF
more a week throughout the year.
