eight hours after the regular time Of
receipt and that New Orleans papers
were not received until four days af-
ter date of publication. Similar de-
lays were noted from many other
points and the evidence collected
agrees with that which has been noted
by many individual firms here and
elsewhere. The Tribune says in con-
clusion, IF Mr.. Hitchcock is gripping
the railway mail service in order to
show department retrenchment at the
expense of the public, he is wasting,
put to. such false economy the better
for all concerned"

the country complaints have been COM
ing to New York of delays in the mail
service. Merchants in the South and
West has been wiring to wholesalers
and jobbers here to inquire about de-
lays in filling rush orders aud investi-
cation has shown delays of twenty
four or even forty-eight hours in the
handling of the mails in which these
letters were included aside from any
delays accountable on the score of
late trains. The. Chicago Tribune has
been keeping record in this connec,
ton of the time of receipt of some
of its exchanges and publishes the re-
suit in an editorial in which it asks
whether the Postmaster General is
wrecking the railway mail service in
order to guild up false record Of
economy for his department. The
Tribune's records show that New
York papers OF Friday which should

THE THIRD TERM
By SAVOYARD

1t IS now manifest that Taft will
receive the denomination of the Re-
publican National Convention. unless
the insurgents succeeded in stamped
ing it to Roosevelt. That will he at
tempted but it is not at all likely to
turn out prosperous. The bread and
butter brigade will take care of the
south and line up tnat section for the
PRESIDENT, and a considerable scatter
Ing vote at the North will give him
the nomination. When Alger made
his raid on the Southern delegates
who were instructed for John Sher-
man, the Ohio man of 1888 was only a
Senator in Congress; but the Ohio
man Of 1912 is President of the United
States and commander-in-chi of GER
tain public functionaries down South
WhS constitute the Republican party
of that bailwick. So the South may
be counted as solid for Taft in the con.
vention. New England is inevitably
opposed to a third term. Penrose con-
trolls Pennsylvania, the standpatters
have downed Beveridge in Indiana,
Brother Charley will take care of Ohio,
and it looks nightly like Taft will
have his own way in Chicago in June.
A whole parcel of Democrats are
afraid of Roosevelt, who is the weak
est man his party could name. Bet
ter to combat dozen sound princi-
pies than one traditional sentiment.
The American people could not, il
they would, and would not if they
could, make Theodore Roosevelt a
greater than George Washington or
Ulysses S. Grant. The country is full
Of statesmen fit to be President, and
the nomination of Roosevelt would be
p confession that the G. o. P. is poor,
indeed, in the matter of Presidential
timber Nominate him and all other
topics would vanish before the issue
OF the third term, and on that issue
" might carry Vermont; but he would
lose every other New England state.
Nor is that all-if Roosevelt defeats
Taft in the convention it will be a
humiliation of the President, thou
sands OF whose friends would be
openly hostile to the ticket, and tens
Of thousands Of them lukewarm dur
ing the campaign and on the day OF
election.
Like Master Like Man.
OF course Roosevelt is strong in the
wild and woolly West. The Aber-
natlys and things would make a wild
west show of the campaign, Missouri
pcssihly would be Republican again

Keep flies from the house and you

If some persons were as much
