OUR RURAL CARRIERS.
Post Office Department Says They
Must Make Repeated Efforts
to Serve Patrons.

We noted in a recent issue that
the post Office department is becom-
ing more stringent in requiring that
all rural routes must be served in
their entirety. Heretofore during
winter storms and the rainy weather
in the spring, the carriers would not
always make the entire route each
day, and were allowed their regular
pay, if they covered the greater part
of their routes after all reasonable
attempts.
But now the department will make
reductions in the carriers pay upon
any partial failure each day.
A deduction will be made in the
following cases:
Whenever the partial failure may
be attributed to the condition of the
carriers stock or equipment, or is
due to his failure, in stormy weather
or in time of high water or bad
roads to serve his entire route by
travelling every road available; when
ever the failure is due to lack of
interest in the service or misconduct
on the part of the carrier, sickness
or any reason of a personal nature
to the carrier.
Upon reaching an INSTRUCTED point,
stream that is unfordable or a
bridge which cannot be crossed, he
should make such deviation from the
official line of travel as TO avoid the
obstruction. If this is not possible
he must return Immediately to the
post Office and start in the opposite
direction, and whenever, after leav-
ing the post Office, the carrier finds
he cannot reach his route, he must
travel some other road, even though
it may be covered by some other car
rier, and make every effort to serve
the patrons. The excuse that the
roads are slippery or too hard to
travel will not be considered, as each
carrier must be equipped to serve
his route under all conditions of
weather and roads.

The Situation i'm Maine.

Waterville, Me-, Sentinel: at
seems to be a peculiar form of tenn
perance which is active only in the
direction of defending a system
which yields no material benefit
to anybody. 1t seems to be
more type of intemperance
which gloats over a constitution
al inconsistency and leaves un-
noticed the fact that with their
adored but besotted doctrine the
creed for half the nation, the an
nual consumption of liquors per
capita is rapidly increasing in this
country.
Here we are with laws unenforced
but no more so now than has been
the case for twenty years or more.
Men in Bangor voice their disap-
prevail OF the loose conditions there,
but Bangor men have done the same
thing since men of past middle age
have known anything about Bangor
Here We have an expression of the
mind upon the question of
constitutional prohibition, after an
experiment of q years and one-half
the voting electorate lacking 1913,
declared that it is high time to rec
ognize the fact that, where appetite
exists, demand exists, and where de-
mand exists, supply will in some way
be provided"

Fifteen shopping days are all

Fifteen shopping days are all
that remain in which to make
your Christmas purchases. This
time seems long, but when you
bear in mind the rush which is
sure to come in the last two
= days you will see the value of
the suggestion to make your
purchases now. The merchants
stocks are now complete, leaV-
ing a full range OF selection.
The clerks are able to attend TO
your wants without the long,
tedious waits unavoidable dur
ing the rush and crush of late
Christmas shopping. Remember
but fifteen days left in which
to purchase goods.

UNREASONABLE" RESTRAINT OF TRADE IS CHARGED AGAINST
 THE ORGANIZATION.
WOULD STYLE FAIR TRADE
Conspiracy to Violate Anti-Sherman Law Generally and to Maintain High Prices Charged in Suit
 Against Ten Companies.

New York, May 20.-Sweeping charges of a gigantic conspiracy to maintain high prices, to blacklist con eerns not regarded as proper trade and to violate generally the sherman antitrust law are made in govern ment suit filed by Attorney General Wickersham in the United States court here against the so-called lum- Der trust.
 Ten trade organiz ations and more than 150 individuals are named as de fendants in this suit, which may be the first of several planned by the depar tment of justice against combi- nations or retailers in staple eommod- ities and the necessaries of life to prevent the ultimate consumer from buying anywhere from local retailers. There is no criminal action against any individual or corporation.
 The governments suit is replete with sensational ale gations, and it is asserted that builders and consumers of lumber the country over are at the mercy of the retailers organiza- tions in different sections of the United States.
 The suit filed Is egainst the East ern States Retail Lumber Dealers association, which is the central body of nine local organizations covering five states, the District of Columbia and the cities of Baltimore and Phil & delphia.
 Unreasonable Restraint" Charged
 This is the governments first anti trust suit conforming to the supreme courts Standard Oil decision, in that 1t alleges undue" and "unreasona- ble" restraint of trade of the consum- CT and the manufacturer.
 It is the evident purpose of the plea to confine the charge largely to that feature, small stress being placed on the restraint of trade among the con. spirators themselves.
