WHAT MIGHT
HAVE HAPPENED

Wednesday night. May Is, 1910, be
tween the hours of 10 and 10: SO. tie
city of keokuk was entirely destroyed
by the comet. Not one stone was
left standing upon the other: not one
life was spared; not one atom OF the
city remained. The destruction was
complete, horrible. IT was annihil-
alton.
While there had been some alarm
among the tinid people over me pros
poets of harm coming from The great
comet, the greater majority OF the
citizens felt no fears and the sudden
onslaught came without warning. II

characterized the management OF
the Federal postofice; Much OF
that complaint was undeserved,
and though some of it was warran-
ted, no one argues that the depart
ment could have done SO much for
the public or would have done It SO
cheaply if it had been managed by
q corporate business concern. Nd
mitted that the postal department
has not at all times given the pub
lie the benefit of economical bust
ness management, and we must ad-
nit. on the other hand, that there
has been at all times an absence
of the extortionate charge for ser
vice which characterizes the con-
duct of the express companies. In
o.her words, the benefits of postal
management, such as they have
been, and they have been great,
have accrund to the people and not
to a group of private individuals.
