ASKS $4,000 A YEAR
TO HANDLE j. S. MAIL
Terminal Company Not Using
Bridge Of Signs" Until Post Office
Consents to Pay Price.

Because the Post Office Department
failed to ascertain before building the
bridge of signs" joining the new
Washington city post office to the
Union station that the terminal COM
pany intended to charge $4,000 year
delivering mail across this bridge
from and into the post office. this
bridge has become an unused passage.
The prospective charge has since been
reduced to $4,000, according to term
inal officials.
One of the principal arguments adj
vanced for removing the city post
Office from the business center ana
hitching it Siamese-twin fashion to the
Union station was that lit would he
possible by SUCH close relationship 70
get the mail handled more expedi-
tiously. Now since the terminal COM
pany demands $4,000 for hauling the
mail sacks land pouches and since tine
post office officials have not yet seen
their way to-paying this charge the
bridge of signs" has come to be true
to its name.
1t is blocked up on the Union station
side. and the post office has had 10 ~
back to the old system of screen wagon
carriage of the mails around the ING nioh
station into the new post once pulid
ing, continuing a heavy expense tnat it
was expected could be Topped on III
addition to the saving in time
officials now find that it will be nee
essary to put something like slo,ooo
into additional conveyors with a cost
of S15O day for operation IL the
terminal company cannot be persuad-
ed to come down in their price.
Predictions Fail:
Washington was told that with the
mammoth equipment of interior con
veyors'' and Tabor saving machinery
and with the electrical railway In the
big underground tunnel between the
post office and the government printing
office the mails were to be handled al
most automatically and that the saw
ing in time on incoming and outgoing
dispatches was TO give washington the
best postal service in the country
But the mails are now being carried
to and from the. post office ana the
Union station precisely as they were
before-that is to say. by screen wagon
service 1t is claimed the situation is
not as bad as, it was when the post
Office was on the Avenue, as the mails
get there. about thirty minutes At
most sooner, but they have to be load
ed on and unloaded from screen
wagons, which convey them just as
when the post Office was on the
Avenue.
Before the department shifted quar-
tiers Il had not ascertained that the
Washington Terminal Company in
tended to charge nearly $4,000 a year
for running its electric trucks across
that bridge of sighs. 1t seems that
the whole arrangement proposed with
the terminal company had been con-
Quoted in the form of verbal under
standing" that did not hold So the
terminal company pulled down the
blinds and it doesn't speak to the
city post Office row-at least not via
the .bridRe of sighS''

VARDAMAN NEUTRAL.
Says he Will Urge No Aspirant for
Governor.

Washington. Forced by pressure
from home, Senator James X. Varda-
man today announced that he would be
entirely neutral in the coming guber-
material contest in Mississippi. Efforts
have been made recently to enlist the
support of the Senator in favor of one
or the other of the possible candidates.
The movement had assumed such pro-
portions that Mr.. Vardaman decided
today to define his attitude formally.
Beng political boss is one thing
that hold as abhorrent,' said Senator
Vardaman. The people of Mississippi
have the intelligence and the discrimi-
nation to make their own selection of
candidates. My friends have a right
to demand that | shall be neutral in
state politics, even if l should be in
clined to recommend any person for the
governorship. Moreover, my time is
occupied in the discharge of my duties
here-duties not only to the citizens of
Mississippi, but to the people of the
entire republic. could only neglect
my duties as Senator if | threw my
self into a state political struggle
Elections in Mississippi are year off
and | make this statement thus early
that my position may be understood
and that no attempt will be made to
draw my name into tie contest center
ing around the race for Governor.
''Of course | could be carried invol-
unfairly into a place where would
have to take some hand in the fight if
position of my friends and supporters
should be endangered by the common
enemy. but this is so far from probable
that it hardly merits consideration.

WHACKS FACTIONALISM.
OkalOna Messenger Answers Article
in POntOtOC Sentinel.

The Okalona Messenger reproduces
an article, as will be seen below, from the
Pontotoc Sentinel, Bilbo organ, and
then proceeds to take whack at fac
tional politics.:
We are strongly in favor of keeping
up the political fight along factiona al
lines separating the sheep from the
goats. The fellows who have fought
Vardaman and Bilbo all along the line
should not be allowed to profit in the
victory that is sure to come to this
wing of the party. The campaign
slogan next year should be, "Remem.
Der the Secret Caucus and the Blbo
trial at cksonv'-Pontotoc Sentinel.
By all means. certainly. The only
qualification candidate needs to max :
the man of the hour is, ''Did you sup
port my man in 1911 and are you a sup
porter of my man today" We're a
man vindicated of murder to enter the
race for circuit judge, the matter
should be of small consequence so he is
right factionally. Were man vindi-
