the Department Of the Potomac Of the
q. \ H.. and following the disclosures

an order TO the members of the Cabinet
that preference must be given TO veter-

This announcement was made to-day.
following a conference between the G.
\. r. committee and President Wilson.
The committee was informed by the
President that the charges presented
were comparatively new TO him and
that ne had no realization that the civil
service rules were not being strictly OBJ
served. The committee submitted lists
of veterans who have been reduced
since March I. alleging that the re-
ductiors were unwarranted.
Reductions in the Pension Onice
caused particular complaint by the COM
mittee. as Il was asserted that about
sixty veterans places had been filled by
Democrats. II was asserted that there
were also a large number of reductions

WHO OWNS THE AIR?
Legal Information Desired by a Per-
picked Correspondent.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: There recently appeared an arti-
Gle i'm one Of the contemporary papers on
the question of "Nho owns the AirT"
This article states that the doctrine OF
land ownership. as explained by Black
stone, carries with it the ownership Of
"all below or Immediately above il, or
from the centre OF the earth TO the zenith"
Several questions have arisen IN my mind
as To- the exact meaning Of this phrase,
and ! shall be very greatly obliged TO any
reader that will enlighten me on the sub
jcct Am TO understand from Blackstone
that If the air from one particular lot
should move away TO some other particu-
lar lot the owner Of the first lot may
lay claim 10 the air that has thus moved
away? Are we 10 understand that the
owner Of plot OF ground can by virtue
Of his ownership. drive the sinners out Of
that particular portion of hell which Is
below his land? Are we also to under
stand that he may drive the angels out
Of that particular portion Of heaven that
happens 10 be situated above his land?
What about the 81 per cent OF the earth s
population that does not own land? Have
they no right to stay I'm this world at all?
II ii be true that they have not. where
should they go? TO he'll? That belongs
10 the land owners To heaven? That
also belongs to them. At least it - ap-
pears from Blackstone.
or is it possible that all titles 10 land in
this world have no moral foundation
whatever? PERPLEAED.

The Merchants Picnic.

Thursday was just the day for picnic
and the merchants of Mount Holly, with
their friends, went in large numbers to
Rancocas Park, where the annual outing
was held. There was just as large a
crowd present as on former occas-
ions and the sporting events were
enjoyed by all, but there were not the
usual number of the latter, and not as
many contestants as heretofore.
The committee in charge took note of
all conditions and have already begun to
arrange for next year picnic, when they
propose to get up more interest in the
games, have band of music and add
other attractions to please the people.
The base ball game between the prin-
tiers and the merchants was witnessed bv
large crowd and the good plays were
heartily applauded, the poor plays were
overlooked and the mistakes of the UNI
pire were accepted, not without some
protest, but because all were out for a
good time, regardless of anything OF
great moment being at stake. The ball
game resulted in victory for the printers.
Last year the merchants won. The
score Thursday was as follows:

Look at Your Mail.

The postal authorities in Washington,
recognizing the liability of pOstmasters
to make mistakes in getting letters in
wrong boxes, have fixed a penalty of
5000 on persons taking mail out of the
office other than their own and not
returning it. The law is to have people
look at their mail before leaving the
office, and if they should have mail
other than their own they must return
it as soon as possible. 1t also includes
newspapers. The excuse that it is the
postmaster's fault will not avail.
There are some who will be disposed to
criticise the exemptions of postmasters
who make mistakes. Such people should
remember that the man who never did
and never will make mistake has not
vet been born.
If any one who is thus inclined to
criticise were to be allowed behind the
screen in the post Office when mail is
being sorted they might come out with
a different idea. There are many famil-
les in Mount Holly bearing the same
name. Writers are not particular to give
the full name, hence the postmaster is
often in doubt. We might give few
instances. There are j. C. and b. G.
Kingdom, w. H. and w. b. Wills, /. L.,
J. l.. and S. l.. Shinn, G. D., w. H.
and w. w. Worrell, Joseph S. and
James S. Hume, William H. and Wal
ter H. Mason, and so on through long
list.
Taking the last four names one can
easily see how mistake could be made
in placing letters as, in nine times out
of ten, the address ON the letters are
simply 'W H. Mason" or 81 S. Hume, -
and it is shit or miss with the post
master. He has nothing to guide him
unless there is street address, or box
number on the envelope.
Mail must be distributed with eXpedi-
ton or the public gets tired of waiting
and then the postmaster is blamed for
being slow. In the case of the Mount
Holly post Office it must be remembered
that the employees passed civil service
examination as to their fitness and are
qualified under that act.
| While the ruling of the post office
department may seem hard it is good
one. We know of one instance within
short time where letter, addressed by
initials only, was opened by the wrong
person, who not only kept it for time,
but used the envelope on which to make
memorandum, yet the contents of the
letter must have made it clear that il
was not intended for him.
So the thing for you to do is if you
receive letter which you know is moi
yours, take it right back to the Office
explain the situation and the POSTMASTER
will then mark the envelope in accord
lance with the rules and regulations Sc
down for him by the government.
