Emclent Postal Service.

The work OF the city post office dur
ing the Christmas rush calls for spe-
cItic and hearty communication Never
before has SO large a volume of mail
been handled with such expedition. This
was the result Of special prepaI a. Il ms
which the experience of other years sus-
sested, and in consequence it is to ne
questioned whether holiday letters anu
packages could possibly be handled better
The pubic regards the postal sc. vice with
implicit confidence as a rule expecting
it to meet ALI demands at all times re-
gardless of emergencies, and at the
holiday season it thrusts a burden
upon it which would break down any or
binary organization, with little thought
for the physical difficulties in the way
OF a satisfactory performance OF late
years there has been a disposition to
insure prompt holiday deliveries by
posting letters and packages earlier
and doubtless this season the success
OF the post Office in coping with the
immense volume of mail matter has
hcen due TO this practice. Had every
h"dy mailed at the last moment, as
they once did, probably not even the
cAtra preparations and the lengthenine
- the hours of employees would have
vailed to produce the satisfactory re-
suits upon which Postmaster Merritt
and lis assistants now deserve con-
SratVlations.

1t may be difficult to tell what is j

il. Mems colleges into which women have
made their way have had to drive them
out again in order to give tire men a
chance at graduation honors. From the

and the iron furnace women are doing
what used to be regarded as mans work
The literature of the day is overwhelm-
ingly feminist in it's character, and very
much of il is the work of women. Men
are being told things about women that
1t was not deemed proper for their fathers
to know and as for themselves, they are
being shown up without remOrse.
Within a few days illustrations of the
feminist revolution, physically and intel
lectually, have become public. Man is
destined to lose even his physical su-
periority. The superintendent of hos

The Harriman-Roosevelt Matter.

The reopeninS of the controversy abou
the part the late l.. II. Hartman played
in the campaign of 1904 recalls some O
the gossip current on the subject wheI
subsequently the break came between Mr.
Hartman and Mr.. Roosevelt.
There were prominent republicans ther
who thought Mr.. Roosevelt had beer
bunkoed by the railway king. Their ex
PLANTATION of the matter was that Mr.
Hartman had gone to the White House
at stage of the game when Mr.. Roose-
welt was most nervous and anxious anG
played upon his feelings, leading the
President to believe that the situation il
New York was ticklish for both the ma
tional and the state tickets, and that cold
cash in quantities alone could save the
day. Il can raise the stuff, Mr.. Presi-
dent" had been in effect the Hartman
attitude, and, later, the Hartman per-
Torrance.
On the other hand were republicans who
rejected this explanation in toto. AS they
put the matter, Mr.. Hartman could not
have gotten away with such a stunt
Who had better opportunities for knowing
just what was going on in New York than
Mr.. Roosevelt? His friends were in
old student of New York politics, and
what was more, a far better politician
than Mr.. Hartman.
To support this view was the election
result. Judge Parker never had a iook-
in. He was hopeieSsly out of il from the
start, and never more so than at the
very time Mr. Hartman was said to have
been pouring tale of woe and danger
into Mr. Rooseveits ear. Not only was
the Roosevelt tide rising unaided to a
flood, out 1t could not have been checked
by any means within the reacn of the
democratic managers.

Mr.. Watterson in a New Role.

one of the most interesting figures of
the day in our American affairs Is Henry
Natterson, who. in the language Of the
presiding officer presenting the speaker

In the public eye as man and boy for
nigh fifty year., he has played a dis
ringuished and useful part In the fields of
both Journalism and politics, and helped

important questions.
Mr.. Watterson began his career at the
beginning of the great strife between
north and south. OF southern blood, he
sided with his section. He fought both
as soldier and as editor. Whether the
sword or the pen proved the mightiei
in his hand history does not recite, and

Russian Barbarism.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

at the very moment when the Christ
mas bells are sounding the message of
peace on earth, goodwill to men," the
Russians in Persia are giving a fresh
demonstration of the truth of Tennyson' S
Characterization of them as "overgrown
barbarians." The newspapers of the
world furnished to their readers at the
Christmas day breakfast liable the sicken-
ing news of the butchery of innocent
women and children at Tabriz the re-
venge OF a great nation which calls it
self Christian upon Persian tribesmen
who had presumed to resist the invasion
Of their country by Russian troops.

Mexico.

Gen. Reyes gives up. He called upon
the army. but the army failed to re-
spond Why protract the bluff? So he
quit.
Does this mean that the former darling
of the army has lost his hold on the
Mexican imagination? At one time he
was regarded as the coming man. His
friends considered him as certain to sue
ceed President Diaz, who was aging and
losing his grip on affairs. They believed
that one soldier would succeed another,
and matters go on in the same channel
and with many of the same agents.
This view was vastly pleasing to the
man himself. Gen. Reyes played the
part. keeping we'll in the limelight, and
taking note Of all gallery applause.
Playing to the gallery is much the same
in all countries, and the gallery is much
the same in all countries That is to
say, it is tickle. 1t rewards a player one
day, and turns him down the next. Gen.
Reyes latest play failed.
Or does this mean that the Mexicans.
for the time at least. are tired of turbu-
lence, and have peace firmly in mind?
AS Gen. Reyes has failed. could any
man at present succeed with the same
means? Have the Mexicans decided TO
give Madero a trial and themselves a
rest?
Let US all hope that this latter view
explains things. Peace in Mexico is much
desired in this country. We have not
hailed. and need not hail, Madero as the
opposite Of Diaz in methods of govern
ment. He Is not. As well a civilian
may hope to turn the trick, he is guiding
by his predecessor. His election to Office
was after the Diaz order, and in Office he
is employing firm means of obtaining re-
suits. Cutting out the Diaz way Of do
ing things would not be the work of a
day il that course were entered upon.
But nothing so far indicates that such a
course is on the cards. The rose will
go by another name and De as sweet.
Mexico is rid of DiaZ but not of Diaz-
ism. Nor win 1t be for years to come.
Still, there is study in Mexican de-
velopment in the fact that Madero as d
revolutionist won and Reyes lost The
one man was the hero of the counting
room, the other of the barracks. Ma
dero, with money at his back, overthrew
a government that had been established,
and for thirty-odd years maintained by
military force. Reyes. educated as
soldier, and appealing to the public as a
man at arms, could not overthrow a gov
eminent only few months old that had
been esta blished by a captain of industry.
This looks as if business for the nonce
might have the call over buster in Mex
leo; that the people want a period of
repose. Let us hope they do, and that
they may get 1t. Raising hogs in place
OF hades should DE as good for our
southern neighDors as we as q people
have found it to be for ourselves.
