welfare and happiness of the people.
For the time being, these responsible
ties rest upon the Postmaster General
and his army of employees, and the
way these duties are met and discharg-
ed will be measured by the extent to
which the service has been made ben
efcial, all graft and special privilege
eliminated, and all individuals and
communities treated alike. In accord
ance with the belief that this has been
well and conscientiously done will the
public verdict be rendered and final
judgment given.

Postal Savings Helped.

Postal savings. Unnecessary re-
strictions have been removed and the
plan popularized and encouraged, thus
bringing into circulation the boarded
savings of the poor by the assured
security of government control. That
tie public appreciates the advantage
thus afforded is seen in the increased
rumber of depositors from 100000 to
$4,000, and in the amount deposited
from $SO,oS6,S25 to $92,OOO,OOO.
City delivery has been extended to
100000 additional homes, thereby
according this benefit to something like
100000 people in all heretofore de-
MED this service. That this enlarge
ment of privilege and opportunity was
a wise measure is shown by the per
capita expenditure for postal accom-
mediation, which has grown from $2.3S
in 1912, to nearly SO in 1916. Create.
postal facilities mean not only more
patrons, but more is spent in postage
because of these afforded convenienees,
ard the public revenue thereby con-
siderably increased.
Village delivery. The introduction
of this new feature of public accommo-
dation, supplying the need of people
who were not included in either city
or rural delivery, marks progressive
step in postal improvements which has
met with general satisfaction and will
prove of great benefit to patrons who
are now being given the service Two
hundred and seventeen small munici-
palities are already enjoying these
free-delivery advantages and the num-
her will be rapidly increased.
Rural Delivery Increased.
Rural delivery. New routes have
ten thousand localities, affording serv-
been established and extended in over
ice to approximately 100000 patrons
previously without it. The number of
families who now have this service
amounts to 5,719,6O2, as shown by a
recent tabulation made, of which over

markable activity in the management
of this branch of postal affairs, as
gratifying to the department as 1t must

Every Opportunity Used.


1t is only just to say that no oppor-
tunity has been neglected in any direc-
ton whereby money could be saved
and conditions improved. While tae
saving of money is always a public
duty, it is not everything the great
essential of public administration.
Service, always service, this is the
great and commanding need-more
ard better accommodation, greater
convenience and comfort, whatever
makes FOR peace and contentment.
These are things more to be desired
than the saving of money; but if both
can be secured-more and better serv-
ice Off less money-then the purpose
and aim of wise administration has
been accomplished, the utmost given
that any man can expect or desire.
No more important responsibilities
can be imposed on men under our form
OF government than that of maintain
ing a service so fundamental to the

All the great departments of the
government are naturally interested
in having their administration of these
important trusts approved by the peo-
ple-the progress and notable achieve
lhents made by each brought to public
notice. The postal service, from its
very close relation to all classes, toucn-
ing them at all points as common
carrier, as we'll as the watchful guard
ian of certain of their public interests
and comfort, is peculiarly concerned
that its efforts in the line of public
Service shall measure up to their full
est needs and merit their approving
consent. No administration of public
affairs, however, can hope to escape
criticism, no matter how well con-
dncted, for even the measures of wise
and judicious economy may cause COM
plant when old-fashioned methods
and customs are disturbed by the
march of progressive reforms. Public
administrators, however look to the
larger accomplishments possible, and
it is the adherence to this principle
which has enabled the postoffice de-
partment to do so much for the general
welfare during the past few years.
Take for instance, the parcel post.
The wider view of possible benefits has
simplified mailing conditions, twice
reduced the rates, increased the limits
of size and weight several times, and
Extended express facilities not only ID
cities and towns on regular transpor-
tation lines, but to the people along
million miles of rural route. Practical
aid has also been given in developing
the idea, so that producer and con-
sumner are alike benefited, waste meas
urably eliminated, and living condi-
tons ade better A traffic reaching a
billion parcels annually testifies the
popular appreciation of this great pub
lie accommodation.

The United States Public Health Service is a conser- vatiye body. It does not engage ir alarmist propaganda. In following out theline of it's official duties it has brought forcefully to the gen eral public fact which will bear endless repetition. The liberal and continuous user of alcoholic drinks will do well to heed this warning. particularly at this season of the year when the gruesome death toll from pneumonia is being doubled.

Goodwin Says lie Is Sticking to lis Post

Yes, he is staying at his post waging a most powerful campaign for reelection from Washington He stays there so he can send out his political dope at Government Expense. This is strict violation of the law. yet he does it. The po- litieal matter he has sent out at Government Expense since the holidays would have cost me be- tween $6.COO.Oo and $lO,OoO.Oo. He got so bold in one of his letters, sent over the District under Gov ernment frank, that he attacked me most viciously, mentioning my name. Should you as an individ- ual violate the Federal Laws in the same way, they'd have you in Fed eral Court at Texarkana in less time than a week. So it is plain to be seen that he stays in Washing ton, not so much in the interest of the people but to further his polit- ical interests at the cost of the people.
 The l 9th of last August l ad- dressed a registered letter to MT Goodwin, inviting him to- meet me in joint debate over the District. This would have given plenty of time to have completed the Dis trict before the convening of Cor gress. To that letter he has never replied So his talk about sticking to his post is an excuse and not a reason.

 The Department of Agriculture has no power to suspend the law or to pardon violator8 Of 1a regula- aions. Doubtless the erlerzous impression, on which the news paper statements are based, has grown out of the pendency of fiti= ration involving the eonstitutionali- ' of the Act of congress approyel March 4, 1913, under which the regulations were promulgated.

Result of Election Still Very Far
From Certain.

New York, Nov. 9.-With the
returns showing the closest
presidential election since the
memorable year of 1892, Wood
row Wilson and Charles E.
Hughes at midnight tonight
were running neck and neck for
the presidency. The returns
from the East Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa had early overcome
the majorities piled up for Will
son in the solid South and at
midnight, after day of tense
watching of the dispatches, the
fate of the election hinged on
the way Minnesota and Cali
fornia should go.
At midnight President Will
son had a total of 232 sure votes,
with 19 more nearly sure-from
Idaho, Washington, and Ne
braska-bringing his total up to
251. Mr.. Hughes had a virtual
certainty of 239, with the prob
able vote of West Virginia
bringing his total up to PAT.
California with its 13 votes
and Minnesota with it's even
dozen seemed then the pivotal
points, though North Dakota
with five and New Mexico with
three threatened at any time to
come to the front as important
factors in the decision of the
race.
California or Minnesota and
North Dakota and New Mexico
would reflect President Wilson I;
California and New Mexico or
California and Minnesota, or
Minnesota and New Mexico,
with the five from North Da-
kota would elect the Republican
nominee.
Early this morning President
Wilson had a slight lead in Cali
fornia, but his early plurality in
Minnesota had been Whitfield
away until finally Mr.. Hughes

Only a small part of the immense

The floral tributes were exceeding
ly many and were very beautiful
Among these was one from Co. E, the
Johnson Rifles, which was a large u.
S. flag, made of white and red roses
and blue flowers, thus having the three
colors, red, white and blue. The spec
