The postmaster General.

Postmaster General Hitchcock Is
making big mark for himself in
washington and has given splendid
evidence OF his superior executive
ability. The Pittsburg Gazette
Times thus acknowledges these facts
in an editorial:
Postmaster General Hitchcock's
aerial flights on Long Island the
other day with Captain Beck, of the
United states army, carrying %
pounds OF mai1 for delivery, was a
small matter In itself, but It illus
trates and Eliminates in its way
the quality of mental alertness and
up-to-dateness that has helped to
make the head Of the postal service
OF the United States the conspicuous
success he is admitted to2sbe, even
by men who would have been just
as well pleased were there differ
emit story to tell. The postmaster
general is not looking toward the es-
Establishment Of a regular aerial
postal service in the near future, It
is true, and no doubt considers such
a thing still in the land Of dreams.
except for some emergency use; he
was merely giving personal express
sion in practical way to an inter-
est in scientific progress along lines
that test a mans head and nerve as
we'll as his sportsmanlike spirit.
Hitchcock has been a good post
master general because he is COM
posed o9 the stun OF which good
men are made. He is student, but
no bcokish recluse. He keeps In
touch with human development and
takes an active and keen interest in
the things that make the pulses of
red-bIooded men beat faster. but
does not let it interfere with busl-
ness. He is awake and progressive
He has made one of the conspicuous
successes of the Taft administra7
ton, He has maintained the postal
service at the high standard of eff
fectiveness in which he found 1t, OK
tending it to keep abreast or even
ahead OF the commercial growth OF
the nation, while, wiping out an in
herited! deficit Of nearly $17,5OO,-
900. He has even accumulated a
surplus OF $lJOUV1OOO S4nCs PaSAiAs
on the debt of the postal depart
ment to the general treasury.
1t would have been a proud
achievement had he accomplished
this by tho end OF the term OF the
administration, but to have done It
in the comparatively short period
since June 80. 1900, is to be worthy
of Iaurels. There were uncompli-
mentary predictions when Hitch
cocks appointment was announced
of what would happen, but he has
amply indicated the judgment that
selected him for the office he has
filled SO ably and which he may be
said to adorn. He has succeeded
not merely because he set out to
succeed, but because he keeps his
mind fresh and active by maintain
ing and feeling an interest in all
that is OF moment to his fellow
men, as in the matter of aerial
post-riding. and in his fellow men
themselves.

II. A. Burrell in Washington Press
Governor Deneen of Illinois belongs to
the Roosevelt insurgent school, which
thing. When Teddy was President,
he was not content to be che executive
that was too tame-he tried to run
congress and boss courts, and was a
bulldozer all along the line, brandish-
ing the Big Stick, and he cussed very
promiscuously and vehemently when
thwarted. Governor Foss, OF Massa-
chusetts, caught the same disease, and
so did Governor-elect Woodrow Will
son of New Jersey. All these cheap
skates want To dictate everything
and run the whole concern. Govern
or Deneen. of Illinois has pet water
way scheme, and demanded of Speaker
Adkins of the house that he pack that
committee with men favorable to the
play. Very properly. that officer, who
has gumption, refused point-blank,
and politely and automatically, but
firmly told the governor to mind his
own business, run the executive office,
and the speaker would try to manage
his part of the triune machine Of gov
eminent.
That's the stuff. Dang a Boss,
anyhow. You just naturally want to
kill him. That's the mean part of the
Bighead business-it develops a homi-
cidal disposition. 1t, really. is Won
der that so few bosses are killed, con-
sidering the annoyance they cause.
You'd think that in every community.
or state, there'd be soma weak head
turned, who would pop boss over
some dark night. 1t makes folks mad
to be bossed, as tho they were cattle
and hogs, and only one man fit to gov
ern them.

PEARY AS A "HERo.n

The Des Moines Tribune delivers a
short but forceful sermon on selfish
ness, with Explorer Peary as an il
lustration. 1t calls attention TO the
fact that Captain Peary doesn't take
ON much the appearance of hero
under the limelight of the congression-
al investigation of his north pole ex-
ploration, and adds:
His admissions show him to be an
extremely selfish man, seeking more
his own glorifcation than the promo.
tlon of scientific knowledge. Detailed
by the government for his work. he
withheld from the government infor-
nation about its results until he had
made the most out of it for his own
personal profit. Demanding sacrifices
and the enduring of hardships of the
men with him. he denied them a reas-
enable share in the honor of the expe-
dition's achievements. Peary must h.
credited with persistency and courage
and all that. but at the same time he
doesn't stand as very lovely figure
In the light of publicity. No selfish
man ever does.
