The Christmas Postal Congestion.

A wear ago during the pre-chrlstmas
period the Washington city post ohicc
handled $4,000 pieces Of mail matter, Oh
which number 100000 pieces were dehN-
cred in Washington 1t is estimated that
the introduction of the parcel post sys-
fem will about treble the number oil
pieces of mail matter to be handled at
Christmas time and if this reckoning IS
correct the local office Will have 10 re-
ceiye and forward and receive ana
deliver some 2SJ0,010 pieces, chiefly
packages OF more or less bulk Ii
this postal traffic is all concentrated in
the few days normally allowed by postal
users for holiday gift transportation and
delivery the local office with all its extra
facilities and preparations will be unable
10 meet the emergency, and vexatious de-
laws in the receipt Of Christmas parcels
will result. and possibly losses will oc-
cur through the unavoidable confusion at
tending such a congestion.
It is only needful to bear these figures
in mind to indicate to the public the great
desirability of forehandedness in the mat
ter OF Christmas packet mailing. OF
course it is impossible for the people OF
Washington to send word to their friends
urging them to mail their Christmas
gifts to them early. for this would seem
to be an invitation of holiday remem-
brance. But the local postal users can
do great deal themselves TO hSlp the
authorities meet the tide of Christmas
business by mailing their own packets
in good season and so relieving the Wash
ington office of the burden of receiving
and forwarding the outgoing holiday
mail in the last hours. This would ma
terially help TO insure prompt deliveries
to them, even though all the rest of the
country were slow in putting their Christ
mas parcels in the mail.
What Washington can do in this re-
spect all other cities can do. The postal
officials are now sending forth their
warnings in a way to reach everybody.
4 simple formula is To be recommended
in this connection. Ascertain the length
of time required to deliver a parcel from
the mailing city 10 the receiving city in
normal conditions. Double that time to
account for the normal holiday conSes-
ton, and then double the product to ac-
count for the exceptional congestion due
to the increased postal use under the new
parcel system. In other words, allow
about four times the usual period of
transmission. If that rule were uni
versally followed all packages and letters
would reach their destinations before the
dawn of Christmas day.

Mr.. Justice Hughes.

The most interesting thing connected
with Yesterdays meeting Of the Law com
fnittce of the republican national com
4nfttee was the mention of the name OF
Mr. Justice Hughes in the speculation
.tbotit 1916 The law committee did not
present the name, of course. IT had not
mot Ia discuss a nominee to oppose Mr.
Wilson three years hence, but quite an
other matter.
But with the committee In session and
marty interests under consideration, by
ISLANDERS naturally fell TO discussing the
past, present and future-paTucuiarly the
future-and what hope existed for repub-
ucan reunion and under whose leader
ship.
Mr. Justice Hughes as Coy. iiuShes
made an impression both at home ana
throughout the country. He had entered
notifies with reluctance, but qualified nj
once for the work. and did such excel
l.nt work il Is still under discussion IN
New York Coy. Glynn. a democrat, who
ras inst taken up a difficult task, refers
in terms of admiration to what Gov.
Hu.she. accomplished in office. ana hopes
r. do as well himself. He may set his
own course somewhat by that OF HE re
publican predecessor.
OF interest TOO. is the fact that much
ragret was caused in republican circles
IL the refusal Of Gov. Hughes 10 stand
for another term. There was strong de-
sire for him TO run again. and as strong
!, belief that success at the polls awaited
him. But for his own reason he de-
,jined the further use of his name. and
soon after leaving politics was appointed
to the bench,
Since then a bit of speculation has run
ike this: Had Gov. Hughes stood for
another term he would have been re-
elected, have continued to make reputa-
ton in office, and in the clash of last
year at Chicago, when one of the diff
culties was the lack of a strong man for
compromise purposes between the Taft
and the Roosevelt people, have been
available for compromise nomination
Tor the presidency. But at that time he
was enveIoped in his black silk gown,
and had been wearing it so short while
he did not look promising for political
purposes again.
1t is understood that Judge Hughes is
Contented where he is. likes his duties,
and certainly is discharging them TO the
satisfaction of the country. Mr.. Taft
while President made no appointment
that was more generally applauded than
that Of this finely equipped lawyer TO
The Supreme bench. For this reason
Judge Hughes may take small interest in
the current comment about himself. He
cannot he insensibie TO the lure of the
White House. but he knows that the road
thither is rocky, and that some admirably
equipped pilgrims have failed to reach
goal
The speculation is Interesting neverthe-
less, as showing, for one thing, that the
republican party. badly disrupted as it is,
i not without assets as 10 the leader
ship Judge Hughes has many elements

in popular contest for Mr.. Roots seat
is a question.
But this fact would. and it has a
bearing on other New York city demo-
cratic leaders whose friends may be con-
sdeIing their deserts in connection with
the senatorial honor: Senator O'Gorman
is from the city. If the democrats are
to win. upstate may claim the right 10
name the man.
The only announcement 50 lar on the
republican side IS that Mr.. Root Will not
stand for reelection: and that announce
ment should be withdrawn. 1t does not
rest Oh Mr. Roots health, for that Is ex-
celent IL does not rest on his age. Tor
he is only sixty-eight. Ii does not rest on a
dininution of interest III public ques-
tons. for presumably his interest in all
that relates to the country's welfare is
as great as ever. And it cannot rest on
a necessity to return to the bar TO in
crease his income. for his circumstances
are entirely comfortable
Why retire? AT any rate, why not
make a campaign at time when the
New Yorl, public is so profoundly dis
turbed, and the need of leaders of the
highest intellectual grade and of long ex-
perience is so very great? Who could
discuss from the stump all the lmpor-
tant questions in which New York Is IN
terested with {; larger information or I'm
Outstanding than Mr.. Root? What re-
publican in the Senate commands more
respect for his opinions even from those
who do not accept them? What question
does Mr.. Root discuss that he does not
illuminate?
In voting on this matter the New orh
republicans should consider the way Mt.
o'Gorman is developing III the Senate
II was not the opinion at first that a
man bred to the law and so long on the
bench would find politics to his taste
But Mr. O'Gorlnan is coming to the front,
and. what is more, showing quaIltE-
sandwich, if Congress is to remain q
branch of the government ana
not become a mere register for the eA-
ecrtive, must he shown by others. H.
therefore. Mr. O'Gorman is to continue
TO have a republican for colleague, that
colleague should be a man of ahlllty ana
marked resolution.

Recognizing the Revolutionists

From the Chicago Journal.
IT is easy to see why President W ilson
has been slow To consider recognizing the
belligerency Of Mexican revolutionists
Such q recognition is equivalent tn pro-
vidiHg the CarranZa forces With arms. Be
fore doing that, the President must have
assurance that these arms will he used
with some regard to the usages OF CIV
ilized warfare, and must know what the
Carranzistas propose to do in case OF
victory. Ii is not enough to replace one
Seif-apponted dictator by another. If
Mexico is ever to have permanent peace
she must accustom herself to lawful and
peaceable methods OF choosing her Off

Transparent Dishonesty.
From the st. Louis Times.

Gen Huerta's declaration that he will
not accede to the requests of the govern
ment at Washington, but that he will,
instead, increase his army to 100000,
possesses precisely the quality which
characterizeS most Mexican diplomatic
utterances. The reasons why he will not
carry out his proposed plans are va
rious. but one of them is quite sufficient.
This is that he is now being supported
by every soldier he can induce to enlist
in his service 1t seems clear that a
great majority OF the rank and file of
Mexican citizens are waiting only Tor
half AN opportunity to night against
him, and this. we suspect, is the reserve
card which the administration at Wash
ington means to play That is to say.
il would seem that President Wilson VIII,
as a last resort. permit the constitution
alists To equip themselves with arms and
munitions obtained from this side nj
