BILL NYE MEMORIAL

~
Raleigh News and Observer.
The North Carolina Press as
ISOLATION has put itself in a line
to do a work that is Of merit both
as a memorial and for the good
which it will do. 1t purposes to
honor the memory of Bill Nye, the
genial humorist-philosopher whose
body is buried in North Car
DINA soil, and in doing this,
its plans have been made to do
a work of uplift for hayward
boys.
The Press association appoint
ed a memorial committee to plan
what should be made a Bill Nye
memorial, and that committee has
just announced that its decision
is that the memorial take the form
of a building at the Stonewall
Jackson Training school, at Con-
cord. IF Nye had been present to
have aided the committee, he
would have endorsed what was
done. He loved mankind and
that his name will aid in the max
ing of men of hayward boys is a
fitting tribute.
As between a building at a
training school for hayward boys,
and the most beautiful monument
ever reared, Bill Nye would have
chosen the building for the boys.
The first thousand dollars that is
to be put in that building is to be
raised by popular subscription,
and the public is called on to help.
1t should do so cheerfully and
rapidly, for the contributions are
for two causes: In honor of the
memory of Bill Nye, and to help
North Carolina boys who need
help.
Bill Nye loved North Carolina
and his life was partly spent in
this state, his accociation with it
being close, and in it's soil, his
boys await the final trump. His
humor and philosophy has lifted
many burdens, to read after him
was a joy, the man himself was
one who lived close to mems
hearts, a lovable man, a benefae-
tor of the race, whose writings will
live to cheer our generations. To
be one of those to erect so fitting
a tribute to his memory will be a
pleasure and a privilege. His life
had in it PHASE of sadness, and
that because of it the sadness in
other lives is to be cleared away
is most appropriate There should
be a response so quick and so lib
eral that the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ton will soon be a reality in
brick and stone and in equip
ment at the Stonewall jackson
Training school.
MI. Murphy declared that he
would do everything in his power
20 help pile up a handsome MAORI
W for the nominee when the cleo
ton come around. He stated that
Rowan's democracy was undivid-
ed and there was not a democrat
in the county who would not
stand Loyalty by the nominee.

Washington, July 18.-RicharG
A. Ballinger is indicated. He
has been unjustly accused by Gif-

Louis CLAWS. He is exactly the
right man in the right place and
ought to be invited to hold down
the job as secretary of the in5e-
rior just as long as he cares to
hold it. He is, briefly, without a
spot or a blemish.
This is not officially given out
yet but it is learned to be the
basis of the-report of tie maiori-
ty of the investigating committee
It sums up, briefly, the findings
of the majority Of the joint CON
gressional committee which for
five months past have been max
ing an exhaustive investigation Of
the conduct of affairs Of the in
terror department.
The findings of the coramittee
have not been made known Off

theless.
The minority members of the
committee will file two reports,
one by Representative Madison,
republican, of Kansas, and one by
the four democratic members of
the committee.
It is said the report will be
made public at once, not waiting
for the meeting of the committee

PARCELS POST.

the one department of the govern
ment that comes in daily con-
tract with all the people. It's
passing day. One of its most po-
pular and useful branches is rural
delivery. This service has be-
come popular by eason .of the
splendid class of men engaged IN
it, and the high order of intelli-
gence they have applied to the
performance Of their work
Devoted to their duties, obedient
to all laws and departmental re-
gulation and ever striving to i'm
prove the service, the carriers are
nevertheless men Of independent
though In action. They hold their
appointments as the result of
competitive tests. They owe
nothing to politics, and cannot be
controlled by politicians. And
this fact may be an important
factor in the proposition to abolish
the present rural delivery sys-
tenn, and let the service out by
contract.
Why should the system be
changed? Economy is urged as
the reason Only a few years
since a proposal was made by
private parties to handle the
whole postal business of the ma
ton. We have not the exact
basis at hand, but the figures sub
mitted were far below the cost
of the present system. If mere
economy is to be the test, why not
let the entire service to the low
est bidder. But economy is not
the test. Efficiency, reliability
and responsibility are the gauges
by which the postal service of the
country is measured. The peo-
pie demand the best and will ex-
eept nothing less. If economy is
to be practiced at whatever cost.
why stop at rural delivery? Why
not put the city service on a con-
tract basis also? It is readily re-
cognized that the city population
would not submit to such a pro.
position, and it might as well be
understood a t the outset that
county jewellers will protest with
equal vigor.
Let us consider some of the re-
suits of a contract system. A
prominent member of the House
Postofice Committee has express
ed a willingness to contract for
every route in his State at 800
per year. Taking this figure as
d basis, the department would save
S ,000,0 900 annually. The whole
sale contractor would sublet the
contractat, say, 5000 per year to
a local mechant in each town, and
the latter would send out one of
his clercks to deliver and collect
the mail and at the same time
take orders for groceries, dry
goods, hardware, and what not,
for the next days delivery. 1t
would result in the government t. s
substituting one local merchant In
each town to the extent of the
contract price. Taking orders
and delivering supplies, ETC.,
might prove a great convenience
of the farmer, but it would result
in serious impairment of the mail
iseryice.
| Now, instead of a contract de
livery system, let us consider the
result of a local parcels post
At a very modest estimate the re-
venue would average So per day
lper route, making an increase oil
$50, DOC 900 per year, against the
saving of 100000, by contract
or a net gain of $22, 100000. This
difference would not only wiz
out the present deficit in the po.
tai service, but would enable con
gress to increase the pay of the
carriers to a living basis.

to say about the matter.
Economy in the administration
of public affairs is always com
mendable, but when pretended
economy is practicsed in the pos
ia lservice at the expense of the
entire rural population, while ex-
travagance runs riot in many 9th
er departments of the govern
ment, other motives than honest
economy are suggested.
Practically the only expense
connected with rural delivery is
the salary of the carriers, which
every one admits is wholly mad
equateg The carriers are hedged
about by all sorts of orders and
regulations, which prevent them
from engaging in almost any other
line of work to increase their
earnings. The reason for this, as
advanced by the department, is
that the service must be kept
above criticism. But If it should
be let out by contract, what would
be the results The contractor
would undertake the work solely
for profit and with no considera-
ton for the interests of the pa
irons, and in the end the expense
to the government would be great
er than under the present system,
even after increasing the pay of
the carriers to a decent basis.
The account of the star route
of thirty years ago, which
begins in this issue, suggests the
political possibilities in the way
of graft and political deals involv-
ed in the proposed change.
Do the peopl ewant to return to
such conditions? We think not.

DONE WITH WRESTLING
GAME, DECARES GOTCH

CHICAGO, June Frank Gotch
says he will now retire to his farm
in Iowa.
In a statement after his defeat of
Zbyszsko last night he says: Il won
and now l am through with the wrest-
ling game. l am 80 years old and 1t
will be the simple life for me in the
future. A good many wrestlers nave
waited too long and have been beaten.
I am going to avoid that. The first
fall with Zbyszsko came as l had
planned it; the second was hardin
fact, as tough a bout as l have been
in. There was no time wasted ana L
could not have thrown the Pole before
I did. [ will leave for the coast and
see if I can help Jeffries out, and theh
there will be a long rest coming TO
me-" ,,o
Zbyszsko says: "It was no disgrace
to be beaten by man like Gotch,
He is a cyclone. That is what you call
IT, isn't it? l had hoped to defeat the
champion and take the title BACK TO
Europe with me. Now, since l nave
lost, / am going just the same as tast
as the boat will carry me. l nave no

q AN FRANCISCO and Vernon will
y hook up at Vernon park this aft
~ ernoon in the fourth game of the
series and as these teams have been
providing some of the most nerve
racking exhibitions of the season, 1t is
not expecting too much to anticipate
another large crowd at the southeast
grounds. Hogan is up against it for
pitchers, with Hit and Schafer on the
hospital list and Willett and Hensling
overworked, but Breckenridge and
Stovau are still available and if the
Carson case is ever settled, the sltua-
ton will be considerably relieved.
breckenridge Won his game with the
Seals and is in winning form just now.
1t is a little early for him to go back
on the mound today, but it looks like
he would have to do it unless Hits
arm is improved sufficiently for hlm
to take a chance. Hit is the star
slabman of the Village bunch and 1t Is
taking big risk to let him go into
the box until his arm is in condition
for him TO pitch without hurting IT,
but he may be able to take his turn
today. If he does, Vernon is sure to
win With Henley and Miller, the best
twirlers on the Frisco staff, out of the
wav for a day or two, it looks like
Vernon might even up the score to-
day.

tiful game, even if he did not bat up
to expectations. He should make good

use another catcher to advantage. Or

PORTLAND, June 2.-Sacramento
fell upon Portland today, and although
perfect fielding shut off the visitors
scoring to some extent, they did
gather in four runs. Baum pitched
a remarkable game. The best Port

harmless hits and two of these were

even have a shadow of a chance at a
score. That was in the fourth. They

Hogan wants to take the bull by the

The national baseball commission un-

sonable, therefore, to expect that
Hogan finally will win out in the case.
Carson would come in awful handily
right now.
Willett deserved to win yesterday.
He got three hits in four times up and
scored once, but could not negotiate
his way round in the other times he
was on base as his teammates would
not help him along. He has done
nobly for his team in the last fort
night, and it is hard to have to lose
a game like that yesterday. With
good support at bat he would have won
in the regulation nine innings
