The United States is close to that
postal Utopia. a one cent sealed let
ter rate. For the first time in thir-
ty years the postOffice department
is not only self-supporting, but is
bringing large revenue TO the gov
ernment. When we remember that
only two years ago there was a de-
ticit OF more than seventeen millions
OF dollars and twenty millions, we
can have some appreciation of what
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
accomplished. He can do much more
il Congress will but second his ef
forts, and by the establishment of a
parcels post 80 per cent. OF the peo
pie of the United States will be bene-
fitted and the federal government
will turn what has heretofore been
a losing business into one of great
national profit. At the present
time there is besides the three mil
lion dollars turned back to the Trea.
sury, full million in the national
postoffice and unless the expenses
during this month should prove ex
traordinary, the surplus will be still
greater for the fiscal year. Let it
not be forgotten that the present ad
ministratiOn inherited a deficit OF
more than sl7, 800. 900 dollars, the
largest in the history OF the postal
service. This deficit was soon
changed after Postmaster General
Hitchcock took charge. In the past
it always has been the custom for
the government TO set aside at least
ten millions ~ meet the deficit of
the general postoffice. but Mr..
Hitchcock found that he would not
have IN use any part OF the amount
and sent il back 10 the Treasury.
An accounting plan was adopted
about year ago. which insures the
prompt deposit in the Treasury of
postal funds not required for dis
bursement at postoffices, and to this
reform In the financial system OF the
postoffice department the present
much desired condition is in part
indebted.
To be able 70 send q sealed le tier
for one cent will mean something 10
almost every man. woman and child
in the country. To large business
organizations which spend thousands
OF dollars yearly for postage stamps,
il will mean a great saving, but II
is not at all improbable that the
government will make more through
the one cent postage aud it's effect
in largely increasing correspond
ence than under the old system.
Now. let Us have the parcels post.
or course, there will be o swarm oi
lobby lists opposing it. headed by the
Express companies and the railway
companies and all who have stock
in them, but 80 per cent. of the Uni.

BY Another in Fight Over
a Knife.

In fight over twenty-five cent
pipe. about 9 o'clock last evening in

on .Ft. Wayne avenue, Earl Bass was
seriously cut with a pocket knife by
Harvey Howard. Bass was slashed on
the face in several places and was cut
in the abdomen. Both are negroes
That the knife was very sharp is
evidenced by the fact that one wound
was inflicted by the knife going
through a tin tobacco can and the
point entering the hip.
Bass. who filed an affidavit this
morning charging Howard with assault
and battery. alleges that Howard took
his (Bass's) pipe and when Bass ask
ed for the pipe last evening when he
met Howard in the pool room Howard
became angry and started a rough
house." The two went to the outside
of the pool room and as they were
Howard pulled the knife from
his pocket and slashed Bass.
Several stitches were required to
sew up the gashes. There is little like
ihood of blood poisoning resulting
from the wounds it is said
Howard has not been arrested as yet
but it Is believed he Is still in the city.

Gee, attorney in charge Of the Legal
Aid society's headquarters at 239
| broadway. Also one gets the i'm
! preston in watching the cases that
come before the supreme court that
there are more cases OF divorce and
separation among the poor than among
the wealthy. Perhaps that is because
theFe are more poor people than there
are wealthy. Also the causes that
make fer domestic unIapp;ness are
more numerous among the poor be-
cause or their very poverty.
Lack OF money to tuH the uecossi.

! gong out 10 entertainments. all tell
: in The mCnotCLcUs lives OF the pocr.
and increase the chances Of domestic
unhappiness
Then there is the di:cO.ra cement
that follows the loss Of work. The
husband sees his family starving. Ha
gets desperate and deserts the ship,
or commits suicide. In either case
the mother is LETT alone, and if ne has
simply deserted her. and sometimes
secures position, sn" hes him ar
rested tor nonsuppCrt and perhaps
secures separation and alimony.
| Many poor men in committing suicide
simply disappear and their wives ,.ev-
er hear of them again.
But drink remains the chief cause
OF trouble. 1t is the rule of this So
clety in all cases to try TO effect re-
conciliatiOn ii the circumstances war
rant 1t. Most of the comp!ainants, OF
course, are women. If the husband
isn't happy he clears out. He seldom
comes to us.
Most of the cases that come before
us are wage claims-where people
have done the work and employers re-
fuse to pay them. Take the quarter
last past In July, August and Sep
tember there were 3,1S8 actions for
wages and only $40 cases of domestic
difficulties.
prevailing economic conditions are
at the bottom of a great number of di-
vorce cases. Thousands of families
live in two and three-room tenements.
The head of the house earns 50 to $l2
a week. There are two or more chill
dren. 1t is impossible for them to
get on in the narrow quarters with
out friction between husband and wife,
Disputes follow, then assaults and
| abandonment. In the first case redress
should come from the court of domes-
tic relations.
MANY poor girls are married to es-
! cape scandal, and such marriages are
seldom happy. The wives generally
apply for divorce or separation finally
if they can't live peacefully. The fast
lives that many young men lead before
marriage leaves them physical wrecks
and when they do marry they are not
happy. But the percentage Of wives
who seek divorce or separation be-
cause of the physical condition of
their husbands is small Many appli.
cations for divorce are made by girls
married under eighteen years of age
without the consent of their parents"

DEAD MANS KIDNEY
WAS TRANSPLANTEO
Organ Replaces Diseased
One of Patient Who Is
Recovering.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 16.-One
Of the most remarkable clinics in surg
cry that ever has been held in this
city, and by far the most interesting
that has been seen in the present Wis
1t OF the surgeons OF this country and
Canada who are attending the Clini-
cal Congress Of Surgeons of North
America, was that conducted in the
Methodist Episcopal hospital by DR..
l.. J. Hammond, chief of staff of the
hospital, and member of the faculty
OF the University OF Pennsylvania
Three difficult operations, each in
volving a new phase in field OF surg
cry that by most of the visiting surg
cons was thought still to be in the
embryonic and experimental stage,
were the work of the noted Philadel-
phia surgeon. Like his clinic OF last
week, Dr. Hammond's work held the
onlookers. many OF them older and Of
longer practice in the profession than
himself, spellbound.
Almost Perfect Quiet.
From the moment ne made an in
cfsion into a mans back to remove
diseased kidney until he completed
the three operations the drop of pin
could have been heard in the great
ampitheater Of the hospital. Except
for the breathing of those in the
room. the slow measured tread near
the operating table of DR.. Hammond,
nurses who were attending, there was
absolute quiet.
Chief attention was centered on the
operation involving the transplanting
OF a kidney. This operation includ-
ed anastomoses of Jennings cot blood
vessels, and the connecting of the
veins, arteries and other ducts and
glands was highly satisfactory. The
patients recovery. the surgeons said
today, seemed certain.
DR.. Hammond transplanted into the
patients body the kidney of a man
who was killed in an automobile acct.
dent Monday afternoon. The man
operated on yesterday had suffered
ofom tuberculosis of the kidney for
several years. and had been under
treatment by eminent specialists. Dr.
Hammond. who has been experiment.
ing with transplantations, suggested
the operation for transplantation.
The kidney Of man who had been
killed was used in place of one of sew
eral sound kidneys that had been
kept in cold storage for the purpose
The occurrence. according to physi-
clans, though unfortunate for the man
who was killed by the motor car, was
most fortunate for the subject of an
operation. since the kidney of a man
killed by accident was much better
than that of man who died of a
malignant disease or of old age or the
effect of other illness.
This 10 practically the first time
that an operation of this kind has
been made. and according to DR..
Hammond's associates, the new kid
ney. through the perfect anastomoses
Of the vessels and ducts, will function
ate as we'll as an ordinary healthy kid
ney.
DR.. Hammond's two other operations
were similar to others performed
hast week, one involving the removal
Of cancerous growth from the
breast of q woman.
