THE SUNDAY PosTOFFICE

The executive head of our National
postal affairs came to the relief Of the
public against the anonymous Fjoker
which was injected into the postoffice
appropriation bill recently passed by
Congress. That "loker' reads as fol
lows:
That hereafter postofflces OF the first
and second classes shall not be open on
Sundays for the purpose OF delivering
mail 10 the general public, but this pro-
vision shall not prevent the prompt de-
livery of special delivery mall
Accordingly, orders were sent out by
the Postmaster General to close the
postoffces of the first and second
classes on Sunday. As this order was
given, it would have prevented the
distribution Of the mails. But a Wig.
orous protest went up from all the
cities, and the Postmaster General
quickly rescinded his order. and made
it clear that the public was not to be
unduly accommodated.
Accordingly, the postof6ce at Salt
Lake City, and Of course at all the
other 6rst-class cities. was conducted
about as usual, much to the gratif-
cation of the public.
Whatevor may be thought Of the an
uulling of the law by executive order,
on general principles, tho public
appreciated this order. But the need
of making an order by the head Of a
great department, setting aside an en-
actment of Congress, shows that the
work Of our National legislative dc
partment is as careless as it is slow
and inefficient.

ELECTIONS ON FOR TODAY.

The Vermont election for State Off
GERS occurs today. Inasmuch as Yer
mont's voice has commonly been con-
sidered significant as an early gauge
Of the drift Of Presidential opinion, the
result Of her September election has
always been watched with keen inter
est. 1t has been usually noted that
when the Republican plurality fell to
the vicinity of 10000, the indications
were for Democratic Victory in the
country. But not always, since tho
most sweeping victory the Republicans
ever obtained in the electoral college
was when the September plurality in
Vermont was the lowest in the history
Of the party. The following table
Compiled by, the New York Evening
Post) gives in three columns, first, the
State g September Republican plurality
for Governor in series of Presidential
years; next, the majorities of the vic
torious party, in the electoral college
chosen by the Nation in November,
and, last, the popular plurality Of the
successful party on the total vote for
President in each Presidential year:

his own favor in case the facts came
to light.
And it seems clear, also, that the real
objection which Roosevelt had at thnt
time to tho Standard Oil money was
that he was not getting rs much as be
wanted OF it; that he withheld the
writing of those letters to Cortelyou
until he knew not only that the $780,
600 contribution to his campaign fund
had been spent and so could not be re-
turned, but that there was no longer
any hope that the Standard Oil COM
pany would come through with the
further $4,000 which he had de
manded.
The exceedingly long letter which
Col. Roosevelt writes now to Senator
Clapp in no way changes the essential
facts Of tho case as previously known.
The Colonel does not help his case by
it, and il is in no sense a satisfactory
Bit Of testimony from him. The only
thing that will do will be for him to
appear before the Senate committee at
its earliest session and submit TO oral
questioning and cross-examjnation; and
when he does this VIC shall all see how
flimsy is the false record which he
trickily made when he was caught at
it by Secretary Knox.

AN OPIUM REVIVAL.

It looks more and moro as though
the revolution in China against the
Manchu dynasty was helped largely by
the feeling among Chinese farmers
against the cdicts forbidding the cul-
tivation of the poppy for the opium
trade. 1t will be recalled that the
Chinese foreign Office under the en-
pire made treaty with Great Britain
for the purpose of putting down the
opium trade and gradually curtailing
the importation of opium from India
into China, till it would cease alto
gether. The stipulation on tho part of
China was that the production of
opium in China was to be discontinued
in the same proportion and at the
same ratio that the imports Of opium
from India were to be cut down.
The Chinese throne issued DEGREES
accordingly. forbidding the cultivation
OF the poppy. But in many portions
of China, the poppy was the farmer IS
best crop; the one for which he could
always get cash, and upon which he
could make profit. Immediately upon
the promulgation of the orders cur
failing the. poppy crop, signs of dis
content appeared, and revolt against
the throne was more and moro easily
fomented, as the decree came into ef-
feet limiting year by year the acreage
Of poppies that might be grown. The
scheme was to eradicate the poppy al
together in ten years, and correspond
ingly, Great Britain engaged to cut
down the imports of India opium until
at the expiration of ten years they
would cease altogether. 1t will be
recalled that the most infamous war
Of all the ages was the "opium war"
waged by Great Britain against China
TO compel her to receive the British
import of opium from India, whore the
raising Of the poppy and the making
of opium from it was vast industry
it is to be noted also that India made
a fervent. protest against the agree
ment to eurtail the imports of her
opium into China.
So there was the situation; a tot.
tering throne in China irving TO do
something for the good of the Chinese
people, and vast interests in China
and India opposed to the efforts of
the throne. 1t was an expiring act
Of virtue on the part Of the Manchu
dynasty. But it was, fatal II was
the last straw on the patience of the
Cinnamon, The net result is the alb
rogation of the treaty against opium,
and late semi editorial item in the
New York Tribune tells as follows of
the revival Of growing in China:
The increasing confirmation OF the re-
port that China is resurniug opium culti-
walton and consumption on large scale
Will be disappointing to many, though
there are also many whom it will not sur
prise. There seems TO be no doubt that,
under the stimulus OF international en-
couragement and cooperation a great
work was done for the suppression OF
The pernicious traffic, But there was at
once perceDtible marked increase In the
use OF alcoholic drinks, and also OF to-
bacto, TO take the place OF opium. That
there should now be widespread re-
action toward the old habit is little more

Yesterdays observance Of Labor
Day in this city was universal and was

The great parade was the contrRlliug

was certainly magnificent parade, in
numbers, in appearance Of the men

floats and automobiles. Vast throngs

years.
Although the Democrats polled well
over 10000 votes in 1888, the Republi-
cans elected Harrison President that
year. Besides, it seems clear that the
forecast of the total vote in Vermont
at the election today seems too low.
1t is placed in the aggregate at but
$4,000, whereas it has usually gone
considerably over $4,000; in 1888 the
total vote of the State at the Septem-
Der election was 6s,04e. The differ.
ence between a vote of $4,000 and a
vote of $4,000 allows room for much
variation in result.
The election next in interest today
to Vermont's State election is the pri.
mary election in California, which is
expected to determine whether Taft
electors or Roosevelt electors shall go
upon the Republican ticket, In all
honesty, Of course, the Republicans Of
California are entitled TO have electors
of their own party, which will vote
for Taft, upon their ticket, But the
Bull Moosers are eudeavoring TO sup
plant the Republicans III their own
party, and to inject Roosevelt electors,
a programme which, if successful, will
disfrancbise all the regular Republican
voters of the State and ensure the trl-
umpb of the Democracy in California.
But as Col. Roosevelt has cut loose
altogether from the Republican party,
and as he claims "Thou shalt not
steal" as peculiarly his own political
war-cry. it is difficult to comprehend
on what basis the California Bull
Moosers expect to work,

|nouncing his support Of Longworth.
There is still a chance, however, that
the Bull Moosers may put up candi-
date against Longworth, as there is
plenty Of time, and since the definite
determination to organize the Progress
ive party everywhere in Ohio has been
reached
