Free Rural Delivery Mail

The government has never sought
to ascertain the weight of the differ
ent classes of mail matter carried on
the rural routes and can give no in
formation whatever on the subject.
This service cost last year $50, =
923, 1877, and since salaries have been
raised and the service extended, the
cost this year will not fall far short
of $40, 900, 900.
How is it possible to estimate ac-
curately the cost of various classes of
mail matter by the Hughes Commits
sion or by anybody else. without as
certaining how much of each class is
delivered and how much collected by
the rural service?
Not being able to obtain any infor-
nation from the Department, / my
self have made partial investiga-
tion, having received reports from
carriers from almost every state in
the Union.
From these reports it appears that
daily papers comprise by weight 42. s
per cent of the total rural mail, and
52.S per cent second class matter
1t will not do to assume that these
figures are correct-they may vary
considerably from the actual facts
they simply stand for the average re-
ports received and tabulated. Wi.

Literature and Hogs

The rate for hauling hogs, and
sample hogs, from Chicago to Phila-
delphia is $5.6 per ton in large or
small quantities, one hog deep. and
the hogs have to be fed and watered
on the way, the sick cnes doctored
and the dead ons thrown out. The
hogs are weighed in hulk. The dis
lance is a little over 500 miles.
The rate publishers pay for second
class matter--sample copies of news
papers and serial books--is $50 per
ton average postal haul being lit
tie over 500 miles), and the mail
bags do not have to be fed or water
ed, none get sick or die on the way,
and may be piled two or three deep.
1t is proposed by the Loud Bill to
increase the rate of the latter c'ass to
$50 per ton, over fourteen times as
much as hogs, and sample hogs, pay
each individual piece and fraction of
a piece to be stamped, and nothing
at all is said in the bill about in
creasing the rate on hogs. or sample
hogs, nor of requiring each hog, or
fraction of hog or sample hog, to
be stamped, and there is no differ
ence in the rate between hogs and
sample hogs.
Why this partially for hogs? Why
this discrimination against Litera-
ture? Is it fair, is 1t right? Upon
what glorious principle of honor and
patriotism can it be justified? None
whatever-it is all wrong. The next
step will be to give hogs free passes
to go and come anywhere and every
where, while books and newspapers
will not be allowed to travel Mt all.
This is class legislation, pure and
simple, and therefore inimicable to
the Declaration of Independence, and
antagonistic to the Constitution of
the United States. 1t certainly is.
Seriously, gentlemen, let it not be
said of us that we enter the goth
century as n people who show favors
to swine. whatever tho breed. but
that we love Literature better than
Hogs.
The foregoing was written and
widely circulated over ten years ago
when the fight was on against the
Loud Bill. and will bear repeating
now.

Preaohina to the Ninevites

Our special lesson, however, is con
nected with Jonah's mission to the
Ninevites. Jonahs preaching was that
within forty days God would destroy
Nineveh. But the people. impressed
by his message, repented of their sinful
course and sought Divine forgiveness.
We are, of course, to understand that
God knew the end from the beginning
that He knew that the Ninevites
would repent and that He would not
blot them out within forty days, in nc
cordancc with Jonah's preaching
Nlneveh did pass away utterly, great
city that 1t was, but not within forty
literal days. Possibly the time meant
by the Almighty was what is some
times prophetic or symbollcal time, n
day for Il ycar--forty days, forty years
The lesson shows us how much
greater is the compassion of the Al
mighty than that of His imperfect scrv-
ants of human kind. God was pleas.
ed to have the Ninevitcs turn from
their sins to hearty repentance. He
was pleased TO grant them an extern
sion of earthly life. But Jonah was
displeased. His argument was, There,
God did make fool of me. He told
me that this great city would he de-
stroyed within forty days, and
preached 1t. But all the while He must
have known that it would not be de-
stroyed within forty days. God has
brought discredit upon me, and / am
now TO he regarded as false prophet
Jonah was more interested in him
self and his own reputation than In
the Nnevites and their interests. The
Lords servants must not do so!
God Repcnted of the Evil
The query arises in some mindG,
How can God repent and change His
mind If lie knows the end from the
beginning? The answer is that the
word repent has wider meaning than
is generally appreciated. Humanity
uses it only in respect to II change of
purpose. But, as modern dictionaries
show, the word mag mean either n
change of action or change of pur-
pose, or both. Gods purposes do not
change. He never repents of them.
But He does change His conduct.
Thus Israel, His favored people for
centuries, was cut off, and Gods deal
ings toward them changed. But Gods
purposes never changed toward Israel.
He foreknew and foretold their rejec-
ton Of Jesus and his rejection of them,
and how later they would be regath-
cred to their own land and be forgiven
and blessed by Messiah.
The Lord taught Jonah lesson re-
speeding his sympathy for gourd, an
inanlmate thing, and his lack of SYM
patty for the Ninevites. So 1t is with
many preachers and others. They have
sympathy for the flowers, for the birds,
for the lower animals, for children and,
to some extent. for all mankind under
