Baltimore, June 25.-A last desper-
ate effort to avert a bitter fractional
fight vas made by the Bryan forces
when the democratic convention took
up the problem of selecting a tenn
porary chairman today. So sharp did
the lines divide that Bryan himself
became a candidate for the temporary
Craftsmanship.
Bryan first nominated Kern, who
withdrew later and nominated Bryan
and the final struggle was on.
The report Of the national committee
nominating Judge Alton 3. Parker for
temporary chairman precipitated the
fight between the "p~rogressives." led
by Bryan, and the conservatives"
Fitzgerald was forced to wait on
Kern who praised Bryan. When
Kern finished, Bryan again mounted
the platform and waved for order.
Bryan repeated that If no other pro-
gressive candidate appeared he would
fight for the temporary Craftsmanship,
Theodore Bell then appeared to Sec
ond the Parker nomination.
A few minutes after moor today
chairman MACK Oh the naLlOLal demo-
cratic committee took his place at the
presiding officers desk preparatory to
the formal calling to order of the con-
vention which is to pick the party's
candidate for president for 1912.
The convention officials began taxi
ing their places on the platform a few
minutes before noon and the hall was
well filled, the delegations, the New
Jersey, Missouri and Nebraska, not
having arrived, however. A heavy
rain fell in Baltimore all morning. The
first wave OF applause came when the
Texas delegation entered waving a
Wilson" banner.
Bryan came onto the platform just
at noon and shook hands with Car
dinal Gibbons who was waiting to pro-
nounce the opening c-onvocation.
At 1916 the convention was called
to order and comparative quiet soon
followed. Parker, accompanied by the
New York delegation, entered just
after the proceedings opened. There
was a little demonstration.
But quiet was again restored and
the formal call to order was read al

Piece-of Icea

IA FTER a drink of Ice water Jack said that he felt better. The DAY had

Maybe she did," suggested daddy TITS a long way from here 70 the

"But that reminds me OF a story. Billy Tinker was a very slow boy. ono

warm Mrs. Tinker thought that It would be nice TO make ice cream for dessert
They had a freezer and plenty OF milk. All that was needed was the bit OK

Mrs Tinker gave Billy a dime and a small basket and told him to bring her

Billy walked brisky, not stopping until he reached the shop When the

Money Order System.
Realizing the danger in loss in send
ing money in open mail, Legislation
was enacted in 1865, which authorized
the establishment of the postal money
order system, the object being TO pro-
mote the convenience Of the public and
insure the safe transfer OF SINAI sums
of money through the mails"
1t was not intended that the money
order system should be a large source
Of revenue to the department and thus
be q. tax upon the people, but 1t has
always been maintained that 1t should
be a disappearing institution, which
it is.
The postofice department has en-
deayored, through instructive mediums,
to impress upon the public the desir-
ability of having the names n adj
dresses of the senders of mail matter
placed thereon, in order that the mat
ter NAV be quickly disposed Of in case
of non-deliyery, by return to the send
err without taxing the division OF dead
letters of the department, and delay
ing the return of the matter involved.
Classification of Mail.
The casual observer, no doubt, re-
CARDS The classification given to mail
matter IL he has given any thought at
all to the subject, as quite clear and
has no idea what difficulties may arise
in applying it to any m1ailable article,
but it is surprising what p~erplexing
| questions do arise in determining the
| proper classification of some articles
| and the corresponding rate of postage
| chargeabIe for their transmission IN
the mails. Such questions arise daily
| and many are submitted to the de-
partment by both postmasters and the
public for determination and rulings,
| These difficulties in respect to the
| classification of mail matter are caus-
| ed in great part by the fact that the
| line Of demarcation between the diff
ferent classes is not at all clear. IN
| addition to creating four classes Of
mail matter the law also provides thai
certain written inscriptions, bv them
selves matter OF the first class, ma be
added to second, third, O. fourth class
matter, without affecting the rate Of
passage to be paid on the matter tc
which added. Then too, 1t is amazing
what inventive, ingenious minds car
do In the way OF adapting all sorts Of
material for producing articles thai
might possibly be construed as printed
matter and so obtain h liberal rate

instance In this connection to show
the nature of the subject. A certain
advertiser seeking a novel way to at
i tract attention had a. printed circular
baked into a miniature roll or ioa'
of bread bearing printed instruc'
tons to the effect that the recipient
break the roll and get a surprise. Nov
the question that arose in this instanc'
was whether the advertising noyelt!
was matter Of the first, third or fourth
class.

One of the newest features in con-
nection with the Transportation of the
mails is that Of service by aeroplanes.
While there is no at this time any
appropriation for this class of service
an item of $4,000 for aviation service
was included in the estimates for the
transportation of mails during the
fiscal year of 1918. During the past
year permission has been given to
carry mail without expense to the de-
partment on a number Of ~aeroplane
routes.

Undoubtedly the most necessary
feature Of the postal service is the
transportation Of mails by railroads
and attendant distribution of mails
transit. The 3,400 railroad routes
operation cover every section Of
the country where railroads have
been built and form a network OF ar
teries carrying the mails to every
and corne Of the land. They
transport annually more than 1000, 900
tons Of mail and are Indispensable fac
tors in the business and social life of
the nation.
