uNcLE SAM Is a aoosTrz.

1t cost the government around fifty
millions year to deliver mail to the
farmers. The rural route delivery has
been in operation about 10 years. al
though the first two years or three were
largely in the way of an experiment
The first appropriation was $4,000 1t is
a pretty long jump FROM this figure tc
$50. 900 900, but the appropriation will no;
stop there. 1t win go on increasing until
the entire country is served with its dali
ly mail.
!. The farmer has profited by the rural
service to an extent not generally un-
derstood. Aside from the convenience OF
daily mail delivery, the rural mail SER
vice has very largely enhanced the val
ue of all farm properties wherever IL
goes. Many students of agricultural con-
ditions say that it is one OF the most
important factors in the rapid and I'M
precedented increase of farm values
during the past ten years.
1t is estimated that the value of farms
has increased from 80 to IS per cent
since 1900, and the greater increase has
been in those sections where rural mail
routes have been established. The service
has also influenced good road building
because the government will not denver
mail on roads that are not reasonably
well kept.
1t is also adding much to the attrac-
tiveness to country life because il
brings the farmer into daily contact with
village life, overcomes the loneliness and
monotony of life in the country and by
stimulating business activity adds to its
profit.

rNvEsTIGATING SENATORS.

INVESTIGATING SENATORS.
While the probe on Senator Lorimer
is being. slowly and carefully pushed,
another senator named stephenson from.
a western state. is being investigated
by the senate He admits he spent about
one hundred and twenty thousand dol
lars on his election. His salary for his
six years term would not reach $4,000
1t is evident he bought his way into the
United States senate and, had money
to burn"
He made a vast fortune in lumber, and
had all that money could buy before he
spent his cash to get in the senate. He
wanted promotion and was willing to
spend freely to secure high official posi-
ton.
am very doubtful as to his convic-
ton. Why?
Because the majority of these sena-
tors either pay down the cash, or some
body pays il for them. 1t would be ask
ing great deal of SUCH senators to cur
their own threats or denounce their own
ways and purposes.
There are more ways than one for
getting into Office. Perhaps Mr.. Steph-
enson used money from his own pocket
book but there are, some like Lorimer
who have bosses-who propose to use
senators for purposes understood If not
named.
When Hon. w j. Bryan made his lee
ture in CartersvilIe during last June, he
said to his listeners. land / was one)
that Senator John H. Morgan, of Ala
bama, told him out of his own lips, that
Pacific railroad. lobbyists offered him
$4,000 per annum to occupy seat in
the United States senate, and never
enter a court house." The people of
Alabama had elected Senator Morgan to
the high Office ne occupied and the pro-
posal to salary Mr. Morgan with $4,000
per annum, simply stood for an insult
to his honesty when properly considered.
1t meant that Huntfngtons people
would give him twice as much as the
government of the United States was
already giving him. to serve the people
of AlabamaS and when bill came be-
fore the senate, favoring Pacific rail-
roads, then Mr.. Morgan would vote for
the men who paid him $4,000 per an
mum. Gen. Morgan repudiated the
proposition of course. or he never would
have made the statement to Hon. w. j.
Bryan. / wish he had knocked down
the man who brought MIN the proposal!
For twenty years and upward those
Pacific railroad magnates placed their
sentatives. 1t was the railroads money
that elected them. Mr.. stephenson, II
appears, paid out nearly one hundred
and twelve thousand dollars of his own
money to electe himself. Il like Stephen

ed themselves to be kept" by those
corrupters of men, and became secret
enemies of the constituents who elected
them in their various states. mean

At one time one of such Pacific rail-
road presidents sat in the senate as

cAxrATor TO SAVE THE srz,,s.

A countrywide campaign for state en-
actments against the sale of game birds
has been started by the Wild Life Pro-
tective association. OF New York. the Ma
tional association of audubon societies.
and the League of American Sportsrner.
Immediate extinction Of many game
birds will result. it is said, If protective
measures do not at once obtain general
adoption. Literature has been sent out
calling attention to- the fact that six ma
tive American birds already are extinct
and that a like fate at an early date
waits II others.
Arguments advanced in support of the
movement for state legislation against
the sale OF wild game include the fol-
lowing:
Ninety per cent Of the feathered game
already has been destroyed.
Every species of mammal. bird or rep
tile that is pursued for money making
purposes eventually is wiped out of ex-
istence
Fifty per cent of the decrease in feath-
cred game is due 10 market cunning
witness the prairie chicken of the MisIsis-
sippi valley and the ruffed grouse OF
New England.
Laws permitting the commercial
slaughter of birds for the benefit of the
few are directly against the interests of
the entire population ~of the state to
whom the game belongs.
