Inventors Flooded PostofGce

In the dusty loft at the rear of
the postoffice building in Washing

These boxes are the offering of as
many inventors for the alluring bait
of the o. X. of the department on
their inventions, which would have
brought them chance at an order
for 100000 mail boxes for the
rural delivery service.
All these contraptions have been
sent in since 1901. Up to that time
the department allowed the farm
ers to use whatever they chose as
a mail box, but when it found that
in many instances their choice ran
to piece of thing, stove piping,
old powder and oil cans, and every
thing else from the refuse heap
back of the old homestead, the
department baked and decided to
set a standard. This Immediately
created a market for an enormous
supply of boxes and all the would

some open on a hinge like clam

accoutrements than a Harlem flat,

locking signals and electric an
nunciators to tell the passing post
man whether the patron desires
stamps, money orders, postcards or

not awakened TO the fallacy of hold

money for the support of men who

Dr. Mathews says that these fe.

Editor of The Press: l desire to
reply to DIR. Mark A. Mathews's Of
Seattle attack on women in your
issue of April 1st. He says: "Suf-
frage agitators are female freaks
suffering from male-itis," which he
interprets as "desire-itis.'
OF all the accounts that have
reached me of tomfoolery stunts
performed by foolish freaks on All
Fools Day. the msouni ranting of
the long-haired spectacular preach
er from the sound city is the worst.
Had ! not previously heard some
thing of the opinions on the wom-
ans suffrage question of this indi-
vidual, who claims to be pastor of
one of the largest Protestant
churches in the United States,
would think he was suffering from
NOTCRlTIS. by his attempt to per-
petrate this April Fools joke.

DR.. MATTHEWS NOT REAL
MAN?
Dr. Mathews says women are
suffering from male-itis and a de
sire to be and do as men do" God
forbid. Intellectual, womanly wo-
men, such as you will find among
the advocates of woman's suffrage,
have no desire to be as some men
are. but wish to help real men with
their vote to make this old world
a better place in which to live. Pre-
vailing conditions prove that men
are unable to cope with the stu
/. alton alone. Realizing their impo-
tency, they are going to place the
ballot in the hands of the wives,
mothers, sisters and daughters of
the nation to aid them in the pro-
lection of the race.
The doctor says the ballot is not
a right but a privilege conferred;
that it has always been restricted
and always will be- The only re-
strictions placed upon the ballot
are those of criminals. idiots, pau
pers and American women. "Oh.
