Hitchcock Says s2O,ooO,oOO
Worth of Mail, Mostly Cam
paiun Matter, Went Free.

v-,cHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The frank
,.u system extended to United States
,.9;sIstors is blamed for the failure of
.Eo rostoffice department to show a
,-oft during the fiscal year of 1912, ac-
,ordirg TO the annual report of Post
Master General Hitchcock, just made
public here.
The report states that during the ifs
col wear of 1912 more than 800, 100000
riaces of mail, having an aggregate
weight of about 81 100000 pounds, were
carried by the postal service free of
charge under the franks of congress
mon and of various congressional de-
nartments. Postage at prevalent rates
m this mass of matter, much of which,
saws the postmaster general, was cam
natgn material, would have amounted
10 more than $20,O00,O 900.
Mr.. Hitchcock held that it was I'M
fair to saddle the department with this
debt. and recommended that the use Of
ranking be discontinued and that leg
slative authority be granted for the
use on official mail of special stamps
70 be furnished by the postoffice de-
partment on the requisition of those en-
titled to them.
On Paying Basis Again.
Despite this handicap, says the post
master general, the postoffice depart

has again been established on a paying

The enactment of legislation raising
the rate on second class mail matter
from one TO two cents per pound

The allowance of 80 days annually for
vacation periods.
Civil pensions for postoffice en-
ployees.
Postal Savings Increasing.
The postmaster general stated that
deposits in postal savings banks had
increased to approximately $28,000,000,
ana predicted that the system would
soon be self sustaining. The parcel
post which had not been established at
the time the report was written, was
held to be long step toward the re-
duction of living expenses. The post
master general also intimated that low
er rates and a greater weight limit
might be expected after the new deliv-
cry system was perfected.
The postmaster generals report
closed with a statement regarding the
departments crusade against business
organizations fraudulently using the
mail. He stated that during the fiscal
year, more than 1000 cases had been
prosecuted, and he estimated that the

1t is now definatcly reported iron
 Washington that the Japun.sc Ambas
 sador In his hustling negotiations witl
 Mir. Bryan, is not really concerne
 with any threatening infracuon o
 treaty rights. but is resting his cas,
 upon the grounds uf national honor. It is said that tho national honor'' Japan cannot brook any special limi- tations upon the eligibility of it's peo- pie to citizenship in the United States
 This is a new und extraordinary claim. In the light of Il the customs and precedents of international inter- course, such claim amounts to nothing less than prctext for u quarrel
 It Is. of course. q primary principle that every sovereign nation must be the sole judge of the qualifications of its own citizenship. If the Japanese insist upon mlstating the conduct of the United States in this regard it Is not the national honor of Japan, but the national honor and even the sov- ereign existence of the United States that is called in question.
 It should be necessary to say-theI fact is too obvious-that under ex- isting economic and social conditions. In this country. it is quite out of the question to open our doors to an un- Oriental invasion. We can not possibly permit Q horde of Japan csc immigrants to become part and parcel of tho American people.
 On this subject Americans arc surcI 10 be practically unanimous. Incl of tho California discussion tol such grounds is. therefore. tho surest md shortest way to stop debate. That such are tho real grounds ofI he Japanese contention hns become -vident from tho fact that no other grounds of complaint arc even stat ,d.

The change oi ownership can be compared to the time when boy leaves his father and mother to receive the care of new masters. The stampede is like the
 time when q boy starts to make his fortune. and the granting of autonomy and the steps to devel0pe the territory
 are the time when the boy goes into
 business for himself and settles down
 to the real cares of his existence.
 Alaska is really now at the period
 of its life when it is coming to it's

 The territory h now on the vergs of the real greatness which has been predicted. Fifteen years ago. or im- mediately after the rush of Klondikers into the United States portion of the northland, there was no coal mine, no copper mine. no gold quartz ledses ut Valdez, Fairbanks, Nome.
