Letter from the department:
Washington, D. c., Jan. 16, 1911.
The Postmaster, Ottumwa, Iowa
sir:-The department has read with
much interest your letter of the 16th
ultimo, in which you describe the et-
forts which have been made to i'm.
prove the roads travelled by the rural
carriers from your office, and mas
noted the serious difficulties encount-
cred in connection with this work, as
illustrated by the photographs &C
companying your letters.
With special reference to route NO.
4, portion of which was until re-
Gently so bad as to render temporary
withdrawal Of service necessary 1t
seems that the extensive improve
ments made warrant the resumption OF
delivery in this section, and you are
therefore authorized to restore service
along the roads in question, and to con-
tinue it so long as the roads are kept
I'D properly An efficient system OF
drainage appears to be the chief i'm
provement now needed, the necessity
for which will become apparent during
the rains of the spring season, and you
are r0QueSlcQ 10 use every luedAo az
your command, but without expense to
the department, to encourage the
patrons and the authorities to under
take the work of providing for drain
age, so that it may not be necessary
again to abandon service on this part
of the route This will be necessary
of course if there. should be recur-
renee of the unfavorable conditions
which have prevailed in former sea-
sons.
The interest which you have mani
tested in this matter, and the efforts
made by the patrons and the local
authorities are very gratifying to the
department and it is believed when
sufficient period has elapsed to enable
the residents in that locality to realize
all the advantages Of good highways
they will feel repaid and inclined to
give the subject Of lettering road
conditions more and more attention.
Respectfully,
P. V. DeGraw,
Fourth assistant postmaster general.

incapable Of judicial protection. This
proposition is opposed also.
Before the injunction Of the original
court had been passed on by the higher
court, the Bucks Stove and Range
company complained that President
Gompers, Vice President Mitchell and
Secretary Morrison had violated it's
provisions by commenting publicly on
the effect of the injunction. They were
brought into court and held to be in
contempt Now it is argued in their
behalf that the lower court had not
issued valid injunction and that they
could not be punished therefore, for
disobeying it. That it was not proper
injunction is shown, 1t is argued, by
the fact that the higher court modified

We understand that DR.. Wilson. after
a necessarily brief study OF the militia

radically shifted his position on these
subjects since he taught the students
of Princeton. after years of careful
